"I LOVE YOU, BUT...” Opeyemi Ojerinde Akintunde

 

PART 3

" You don't say!" Winter said very bewildered

"I can't believe Freeman would say that to me." Beauty said in tears

"Sorry"

" I can't believe Freeman would break up with me that easily and sharply because his wife found out about us. He could have denied it!" Beauty continued her tears

" This is not good for you." Winter said at last after about three minutes of silence

" What?"

" Her knowing about you. When a wife gets to know there is a side chick involved in her marriage, the wife usually goes on the defensive. Depending on who the wife is, some side chicks never live to tell the story."

" You mean she may want to kill me!"

" Tell me about her, Who is she? Because if she is one of these born again Christians, just know that the relationship is over. She will use prayers and good character to win her husband back. If she is a diabolical person, she will probably turn her husband to a love sick baby. He will totally forget about you and return back to her like a baby or is she a physical person? Is she capable of defending herself by sending assassins against you?" Winter said

" I don't know much about her." Beauty replied

" You are dating a woman's husband and you never bothered to keep tabs on her?" Winter said rolling her eyes.

" We need to know what we are up against so that we can use the right weapon against her." Winter said

" Ok!" Beauty said

" Ok? Is that all that you are going to say? You should be worried now. Being a side chick is not for babies. Lesson 101 of being a successful Side Chick- " Never ever let the wife get a wind of you, be a green snake under the green grass. You lay low and unseen so that when you strike, you strike and kill."

" But now that she knows, what do we do?" Beauty asked

" We take it a day at a time. First, Let's find out the kind of wife she is. In the meantime, don't pick his call anymore! Give them false hope that it is over."

" Ok!" Beauty said. Everything going on was too much for her. She had hoped to be Freeman's second wife. She didn't want any shade of complexity, but everything was beginning to look complicated.

Sleep was faraway from Freeman. He sat at the dining table with his eyes wide opened at 1:40am. The previous day that began as a seemingly nice day had ended badly. He could still smell the harsh smell of the burnt vegetables. They had been so engrossed in their conversation, neither of them perceieved the burnt vegetables. It was Remi who ran out of the room towards the kitchen that snapped them out of their thoughts.

" I am sorry sir, I was trying to tell you I was frying the vegetables..." Remi said in her defense as she ran towards the kitchen.

With that, Pamilerin walked towards her room. Her head was spinning.

" Pamilerin ! Pamilerin!" Freeman called

" Yes!"

" I am sorry!"

" It's ok, I just have a headache and need to get to bed early." Pamilerin said

Freeman wasn't expecting less. He and Pamilerin usually stayed late into the night to discuss about the day and how business went but here was Pamilerin going to bed early.

" Ok!" Freeman replied. He could tell his world was going to crash any moment.

Freeman paced around thinking about Beauty as well. He feared what she might do to herself. When he met Beauty two years earlier, she was struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. He was the one who brought her out of that phase. He feared this abrupt breakup could break her completely...

But...

" Who is more important? She or your family?" Freeman asked himself

" Obviously my family, though I love Beauty, I would never place her welfare above that of my family. She would always be secondary." Freeman told himself the blunt truth.

*******

Pamilerin had slept off after hours of crying. She expected him to come in and keep apologising but instead he sat in the living room. She believed he was apologising to the other woman...

" How am I going to solve this? How will I get back my paradise?" Pamilerin had asked herself amidst her sobs.

" God, who is this girl, lady or woman? I don't even know who she is."

" Keep Calm and know that I am God!" Pamilerin heard those words loud and clear.

Those words comforted her...

*******

" Pay me 2 million and I will eliminate her in three months and guess what you won't have to move a muscle... I will do all the background checks and I will eliminate her in the best untraceable way." Winter said

" 1 million" Beauty negotiated

" 1.8 million" Winter replied

" 1.2" Beauty said

" 1.5 ... Babe that's the lowest I can go, you know what you stand to gain when the woman exits, all that your guy has will automatically become yours. You told me the guy is a cash bag..." Winter was saying but Beauty cut in

" Fine, which account should I transfer the cash to?"

" I will send it to you in a minute."

" Hold on, so what do I do after sending you the money?" Beauty asked

" Nothing...just avoid him so no one would trace her death to you and go shopping for a beautiful black dress you will be rocking to her funeral soon!"

" Thanks babe..."

" Anything for you darling!"
