Episode 7
*Val’s side of the story continues*
Clara finally recovered after spending agonizing weeks at the hospital but unfortunately for me our relationship never recovered and right from the moment she was discharged started avoiding me. I couldn’t really believe a woman would abandon her man and wedding plans just because of a singular mistake from her man. It was something so very incomprehensible. I had seen friends who their girlfriends caught in the act yet their relationships never ended. Why was mine so different? I couldn’t help but wonder over and over.
As days progressed I found relief in drinking and started drinking heavily. It was as if my life was already over. I just didn’t know where to start or how to go about things. Well at least I will soon be a father. I always consoled myself with the thought and yes about Queen, I decided to pay her a visit and see how she would receive me.
On that fateful Thursday afternoon I showed up at her salon, smiling sheepishly. She was so shocked to see me. It was very obvious with the way she froze as her eyes fell on me. She quickly left her salon and joined me outside.
‘’what brings you to my salon Val. I’m really surprised’’ she managed to mutter as she scanned me with her eyes.
‘’I came to see how you and my baby is doing’’ I answered. She scoffed.
‘’which baby?’’ she asked
‘’the one you told me before your wedding’’ I answered quickly.
‘’well I’m sorry; it was something I made up back then. You can see I’m happily married and any child I have now belongs to my husband’’ she softly explained. This time it was my turn to scan her with my eyes. She still looked as sexy as she used to. Evil thoughts quickly flew into my head.
‘’you ruined my relationship with Clara, what makes you feel I will allow you to keep yours huh?’’ I asked. She kept quiet.
‘’I have a whole lot of reasons to destroy your marriage. At least I can come to claim your first child and even if I’m not actually the father the dust it will create will be enough to end your marriage’’ I threatened.
‘’Chidi is very loving and understanding. My marriage can never fail’’ she tried to argue faintly.
‘’that’s your business’’ I scoffed
‘’so what is it you want? I know you didn’t come here only to threaten me’’ she asked. I smiled.
‘’well since I’m no longer in any relationship at the moment. We can continue from where we stopped. If you can come to my place this evening for us to have a good time and you make me happy, I promise not to do anything that will ruin your marriage’’ I proposed. She kept quiet as she pondered over my proposition.
‘’this evening’’ I said once again, smiled and left her without waiting for a reply. It was a proposition I felt she would take and yes as for me I really didn’t have anything in mind yet for her only that I needed a woman that moment to satisfy my urge.
