Lekki Sisi - S01 E43

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 43

When we got to the place where the driver packed the car, Shade asked that I joined her at the back seat. She looked at me and smiled.

‘You are smart after all.’

Her attitude towards me changed after that day.

Ranti was back the following weekend, this time with a small box. I was tired of the guy. I had brought work home but Ranti wouldn’t let me touch it. I was so upset. Sex didn’t appeal to me any longer. While I was in bed with him, I thought of financial assets, new clients to meet, deals to land.

Monday morning, as I dressed up for work, he sat on the bed watching me.

‘I regret getting this job for you. You have become cold towards me. I think you love your job more than you love me.’

I continued to brush my hair. I prayed silently that he would be so angry and call off the relationship. Maybe this was the right time to tell him how I really felt.

‘Ranti, have you finalized the divorce?’

‘Not yet. Is that the reason for the attitude you’ve been putting up lately?’

I glanced at him and returned my attention to the mirror. ‘I feel you can work things out with your wife. You know, marriage comes with its baggage. Love is a decision, don’t you think?’

He climbed down from the bed and stood behind me. ‘Are you tired of me already?’

I sighed. ‘I just feel-’

He reached for my chin. ‘Don’t mess with me. Now, get back on the bed.’

I stared at him from the mirror. ‘What?’

He smiled. ‘I want your clothes off.’

Even though I was scared of the strange man behind me, I maintained my courage.

‘You are joking right? I’m running late for work. This report must get to my boss’ table by 8a.m.’

I stood up to go but he blocked my path.

‘Ranti, you are in my way. Please let’s do this when I get back from work.’

He held my hand but I struggled to get free. A blow landed on the side of my face. Blood gushed out of my nose. I stared at Ranti.
