Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 02

Jerking up from where I had fallen on. My body ran cold. I was a nurse, seeing corpses wasn’t a big deal for me, but this shook me to my very own bones. I never wanted to believe what my intuitions were. Has my husband been sleeping with…, no…l couldn’t imagine that. I felt light headed as l watched the woman lay on the bed. Food trays were on the table. Food trays brought in for a dead person.

I summoned the courage to move closer, a book caught my eyes. It was right beside her, with a pen laying on it. I had an inkling to pick it up. I moved closer to the bed and grabbed it with the speed of light, as l was totally covered in sweat. I had always stayed with corpses, l acted like she was just like the corpses I’ve seen and never gotten scared of.

Headed for the chair that was in the room. l sat down on it, with all seriousness and anxiety, l flipped through the pages of the book. I read each and every word in it. I was dump founded, l had married someone who had lost his mind for the sake of love

……………………………………………………………..

Bernard was had gotten married to Eliza, the woman of his dreams, he was the type that was obsessed with his object of affection. He was the kind of husband every woman would pray for. He had only one friend, and that was his childhood friend, Ronald. They went through thick and thin, till they made it. Bernard owned one of the most successful company’s in Nigeria, his friend was his right hand man, he oversaw Bernard’s company. Ronald was like Bernard’s brother, infact, they were brothers.

Whenever Eliza erred, Bernard never took it to heart. He always forgave her, even when Eliza tried poisoning him ’cause of a little misunderstanding they had. He forgave her and he even went on his knees to ask for his wife’s forgiveness. But this day came, Bernard received the greatest shock of his life, the shock changed everything in his life.

He came rushing home that day from work, it was Eliza’s birthday. He parked a new Rolls Royce outside the house, a gift for her birthday. Also, he was going to surprise her with the plan of her going to spend her birthday in Dubai. He got into the house, he loved sneaking on his wife with kisses as she would shake out of fear. He saw that the door to his room was opened, coming into his room, he heard his wife moaning so loud as his best friend Ronald dug in into his wife’s p.ussy.

She was already in cloud 9, Bernard stood transfixed to the ground as the keys to the newly bought car fell from his hand and clashing with the ceramic floor. Eliza and Ronald looked towards the direction of the noise, saw Bernard and both quickly disengaged. Bernard smiled and walked out of the room.

Ronald left and never returned, till now, Bernard doesn’t know where his friend ran away to, he couldn’t face his friend who took him as a brother. Eliza on the other hand committed suicide on that very day,she drank cups of fuel and died on her birthday. Bernard went to a boutique and bought a very nice dress for Eliza, he had forgiven her already. Heading home straight, he went into his room and found Eliza dead. His world crumbled, he lost his mind immediately.

The day Eliza was to be buried, he gave the instruction that his wife was to be buried with the clothe he had bought for her. He never acknowledged that his wife was dead. He always said Eliza was sleeping. During the burial processes, unknown gunmen attacked the area, and carted away with Eliza’s body. Bernard sent them, and he kept Eliza’s body in his house, preserved her, and always made love with her. To him, she wasn’t dead, she was sleeping. This happened in the year 2018, and now they are in 2021, approximately 4 years that Eliza had died and Ronald had been living with her.

………………………………………………………………..

I burst into tears as l read everything that Bernard had penned down his book. My husband’s side vhic was a dead woman. My life was upside down, l wanted to die. This was something I had never heard of. Who would believe this when l tell people what has been going on. An idea sprung up in my head, I’ll first of all confirm he was actually fucking the dead lady or nor.

I rushed out of the room, exiting the house. Went into my car and went straight to an electronic and gadget store. I bought a mini camera and l had it connected to my phone. Got home and placed the camera in a place that could accurately capture whatever that took placed on the bed with the dead lady. I heard the door being closed loudly, my heart skipped. Who could that be?

“Claire! I’m home”, my husband’s voice echoed loudly, I stood like a statue, didn’t make any noise as I heard his footsteps as he rushed upstairs. Quickly,l got out of the room, and locked it. I put the keys into my bra and went upstairs. “Thought you said you would be gone for two days”, I placed the question to Bernard as l couldn’t contain the fear on my face.

He noticed but never asked what was wrong. “The stupid guy handling the contract just cancelled the business meeting. No business trip again, that’s why I’m here”, Bernard muttered as he took off his clothes and headed towards the bathroom to take a shower. l went quietly to his study table and placed the keys in my bra into the drawer.

Night came as usual, he made me coffee which he used to drug me every night. We went to bed. Heard movements as usual, he took the keys and went out of the room.

I put on my phone as l activated the camera in the room on my phone, everything was on recording. He went to the bed, placed kisses on Eliza’s face as he smooched her breasts. “I love you”, he whispered into her ears.

All of a sudden, he went crazy as he hit the wall with his fists repeatedly saying, “Eliza, tell me you love me too”. He cried hopelessly. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He undressed himself and went on top of Eliza, the love making started. In a blink of an eye l felt a heavy slap on my left cheek, the slap went sending me rolling off the bed. The voice came, it was the voice of a woman, ” My husband and l are making love. Why look at us?”. The voice went echoing…
