Mother please don’t make
me laugh, live in peace with
who?, you needed to see
ken at the office, walking as
if he owns everything,
bragging about his wife and
how she is the CEO."
"But you have your own
position to protect, why not
leave them to their own."
"No mom, I will take
everything from them."
"Ben, the way you are going
will not help you or your
children in the future, don’t
say I didn’t warn you, she said
and walk out of his present
still angry."
"Well, you don’t see him but
me, the way he carries himself,
my wife is this, my wife is that.
You will hear from me soon."
"Gina you need to stop working
now because of your condition

"Why? Am only pregnant not sick."
"I know but I don’t want you
to get stress out."
"Am fine really, don’t worry

"Tea and bread, rice, eba….
"Is fine, is fine. Just give me
tea and bread, he took the food
to Gina anything else you

Gina was just looking at ken
running up and down the
house. hmm, this guy is
suspicion, why is he been
so nice this morning? And
why will he ask me not to go
to work? He is hiding something,
ken turn and looked at her with
a smile, she smile back, “and his
smile is too suspicion also

with all manners of thoughts.”
"Ken where are you? I need

"So what time will I see you?"
"Victoria I said I will be there,

"Why is ken not here? Victoria
keep pasting up and down.
“He promise, so why am I not
seeing him?,” she would move
to the widow at the sound of
every car that passes by. He
better honor his word or, he will
see the other side of me. She
brought out her phone to call
him but pause.
"No, I will not call him, he
will think am cheap, and keep
treating me like am a nobody,
if not that I love him, I would
have left him a long time ago."
"Ken, you are the hottest guy
on earth" peter hug ken.
"Get off me mann you are

of the loudness of the music
playing on the background
in the bar.
"She is calling you, go to her,
peter said handing over ken’s
phone he was using to make a
call as victoria keep calling
ken’s phone endlessly.
"Who?"
"Victoria."
"OMG, give me the phone" he
took the phone from peter.
"Hello, victoria am sorry, I am

"No ken you have to be here

"Yea.. I forgot you are not like
me anymore since you fell in
love with that Gina you are no
longer the same." I told you not
to fall in love now look at you,

his head.
"Sleeping with other women
is like killing myself, I can’t open
my eyes and cheat on Gina."
"Then this is the perfect time
to do that."
"What?"
"Yea, now that your eyes are
not that open, you can use it
and certify victoria so
everything will be moving on
smoothly."
"How did you mean?"
"If you don’t go to victoria,
she will move back to the
mansion, causing Gina to get
more angry and you? You will
be in more mess that you are
in right now."
"You have a point there, let
me see if I can meet her."
"Ken have you been drinking?
Gos you are so messed up"
Victoria said.
"You don’t like it that way?
Ken ask falling on victoria."
"Ahsh…, you need to take
a Bath, you smell. Is this what
Gina has to put up with?
Damn, when you slept with
me last time you were drunk,

"Yea, you don’t like it?"
"Yes, I don’t like a man who
drink too much."
"Then why are you calling me?"
"Because you are my husband."
"Hmmm, I like you, come, ken
hug victoria and she took him
to the bathroom."
"O my goodness what am I

got up and hurriedly put on
his cloths."
"Wait a minute, why are you
in so much hurry to leave.?"
"Because I have to go back
to my wife and children."
"Am your wife too ken, and
your son is here too, you don’t
have to treat me like am some
cheap girl out there. Am not

"Wife? I didn’t remember

"Really? You want peace?"
"Ken turned at looked at

"My cousin? Do you have a

"Yes, she got up and start
looking for it among her bags,

"Oh.. is brat."
"He is my cousin and he
didn’t care to call me to inform

So why didn’t you go with brat?
"Because I don’t love him, is

"I need to go home victoria,
