Chapter 55 Two Wives

Ben knew that his behavior is

 getting him nowhere, so he

 thought of slowing down a bit.

    "Fine and am sorry my love, I admit

I’ve not be a good person all this

while but please can we put that

 behind us and move on?"

    "I have moved on without you

 Miriam said."

    "You can’t possible do that,  am

in love with you."

    "Are you sure of what you are

saying?"

    "Yes, am very sure, is just that

 am afraid."

    "Afraid of what? Miriam widen

 her eyes, anxious to hear what

 ben will say."

    "I mean all you talk about is

money, money, money. I’ve not

heard you say you love me, I know

 you like me but am talking about

love Miriam, love."

    "But whom’s fault is that? You

 diyd appear to me as someone

who need love, you are always

full of yourself."

    "Is that what you think about me?,

ben ask."

Miriam seeing that he was hurt

by her words say

     “am sorry but the truth is, I have

 always loved you but you only

sees me as a tool to have sex."

    "Don’t say that. Ben said, I love

you too, is just that, you would

 have dated someone else and

not my brother if you really wants

to get back at me you would have

chosen someone else to do

that with."

    "Let’s not go over that again let’s

leave the pass to the pass."

    "You’re right, come to me, ben

 ordered and Miriam obeyed."

  They start cuddling, ben kiss

Miriam and she kiss back.

    "Wow.. this is the first time we

really made love Miriam said."

    "What will you call the others?"

    "Sex, Miriam said."

    "Is that what you call it?"

    "Yes."

    "Ok, so let’s start making love

 from now on."

    "Ok, thanks Miriam said smiling."

    "You are welcome."

Mr. George met with Mr. Jackson

 to finalize the merging for the

two companies.

    "But I thought that the kids need

to get married before the merging

 takes place.?"

    "Yes, but are we not wasting time?

Mr. Jackson ask."

    "Seeing the way the kids are

going we can’t force them into

marriage almost immediately

maybe they are still getting to

know themselves."

    "No, I will  not buy that  idea

Mr. George said, the marriage

needs to finalize before the merging

 of the company."

    "Fine, then make the arrangement

 then."

    "That is not a problem."

    "Gina you need to get ready for

 the marriage between you and

 ken, I hope both of you have reach

 a conclusion? Mr. George ask Gina

as soon as she enters the house."

    "Yes dad but why the rush?, I need

 to talk to ken."

    "Do what you must, I believe we

have given you kids time, so there is

no more time to beat around the

 bush. He said with a straight face."

    "Ok dad, I’ve heard you, she said

 and walk upstairs."

Mr. George was looking at her as

 she walk upstairs, is she ok?, why

 is she so weak?

   "Gina are you ok?"

    "Yes, am fine dad."

    "I don’t know when it comes to

this ken Gina seem to lose herself,

completely what can I do?"

    "Don’t do anything sir, she can

 take care of herself. Charity said."

    "Do you think that she can really

 handle this on her own?"

Mr. George was so worried about

 Gina because to him Gina is

but a child.

    "Gina is no longer a child sir; I

believe she can handle this. So go

home I will take care of things here."

    "Thank you so much Charity what

can I do without you?"

    "Don’t worry sir am fine, and I like

    "Thank you sir."

Mr. George went home but thinks

 to call Mr. Jackson to inform him

 of the new development but no,

Gina might get angry again,

Charity is right, Gina is old enough

 to handle and take care of herself."

    "Ginaaa.. you’ve done it again,

Charity confronted her immediately

    "Done what again?, and why am

 I here in the hospital?"

    "You fainted, and the doctor

said you are pregnant."

    "What?, am I really pregnant? She

wanted to get angry but

 remembered that ken is around

this time, so she smile."

    "And why are you smiling? I said

you are pregnant and you are

 smiling."

    "What do you want to said this

 time? Huh.. you want me to abort

it?"

    "Is that what you have to say

Charity ask Gina."

    "Yea, because that is what you

 always say, listen, ken is around

 and he will take care of his

 responsibilities."

    "Really? Has he propose to

 you yet.?"

    "No"

    "You see, so how is he going to

 take care of his responsibilities?

Ken is just a boy, he is not man

enough."

   " Is ok, don’t say anything further.

Gina stopped her. I will call him to

inform him so don’t say things

    "Ok, if you say so just call him."

    "Like now? Gina ask"

    "Yea, now."

    "Ok, Gina took the phone and call

    "What is going on? Charity ask."

    "I don’t know maybe his busy."

    "Today is Saturday how busy can

    'I will call again, she call up to five

times before ken picked the phone."

    "For God’s sake why are you not

    "Bye, Ken hang-up the phone."

    "You see, am on my way to see

my girlfriend."

    "That is none of my business, I

said am pregnant for you."

    "You can’t be pregnant for me,

we only did it once."

    "No, not once twice."

    "No once, Ken augured."

    "Ok, let me make it clear to you,

you and I had it the day of the party

 in your house at the back of the

 house, then the second day we

 had it in your room."

    "But that’s not how I remembered

 it ken said."

    "Who cares how you remembered

 it, the fact is that am pregnant

for you."

    "And who is pregnant.?"

    "No one mom, ken said, pushing

Victoria inside the room so his

mom will not have a better

view of her."

    "I think I’ve seen this girl before.

Come young lady you said you

 are pregnant for who?."

    "Him, she pointed at ken."

    "No mom, it can’t be true, she

maybe cooking some lies about

me."

    "She cannot be cooking such

a lie, and besides there are so many

 ways to know if the pregnancy

 is yours, so that should not be

a problem, young lady come

 with me."

    "Yes ma, she follow ken’s mom,

while ken rush out of the house

 to see Gina."

   "And where is ken? his mom ask."

    "I don’t know, he rushed out of the

house."

    "Ok maybe he has something

 important to attend to, so don’t

worry he will be back."

   "Ok, thank you mom Victoria said.

   "You are welcome."

    "Mom, you can’t do that, am not

 responsible for her pregnancy."

    "So is she mad to say you are the

father of the baby she is carrying."

    "And how did you know she is

even pregnant mom, this girls

are very deadly."

    "What? You mean you have been

 going out with deadly girls?"

    "No, that’s not what I meant,

But please mom, tell her to go,

and besides Gina is pregnant

 for me and I love her so much."

    "Really? So am going to be a

 grandmother?."

    "Yes mom, but only to Gina’s child."

    "Don’t say that, what if she is

telling the truth, and then I will

have two grandchildren."

    "Ohh… shit.. what have I gotten

 myself into? Ken was so upset

with himself right now, no, is not

my fault is that stupid peter, he

is the one that got me into this

 mess.

    "Mom, I know you are happy to

 have grandchildren but please

send her away."

    "Why?"

Because  I don't love her and am

going to marry Gina, can’t you

see.?"

    "So? There is nothing wrong in

you marring two wives, I mean

you have money, your father have

money, you can take care of

the two."

    "No mom, am not marrying two

 wives, never."
