HIRED WIFE

” Angie you are too young to be bearing grudges… you know I taught you that when we forgive someone, we should forgive him/her wholeheartedly, remember?” I asked staring at Angie and she nodded in affirmation

” I remember daddy! I’m sorry for what I said earlier” Angie answered staring back at me

” It’s okay Angie… you should get some rest now, okay?” I said and Angie slowly nodded as she stood up

” Yes daddy.. thank you for everything you’ve done for my happiness… I love you daddy and nothing will ever change about that!” Angie confessed as she climbed her bed and laid down with her back on the bed.

” Daddy loves you too Angie.. what will you love to take for breakfast tomorrow morning?”

” Spaghetti with chicken.. I love the way mummy, sorry I mean aunty Tessy cooks it!” Angie said and I saw the struggle in her eyes.

I knew she was still finding it hard to accept the fact that Tessy is not her real mother but an hired one.

” It’s okay Angie… I am not against you calling Tessy mummy neither does she have a problem with it.. also I know this is hard and I’m sorry for putting you through all this!” I said feeling sorrowful

” It’s okay daddy.. I understand everything, you don’t need to worry about me, I’ll be fine!” Angie assured but I was still worried about my daughter, she is too young for this kind of emotional stress

” Are you sure Angie?”

” Yes daddy.. I’m very sure”

” Can I ask a request from you?” I asked Angie and when she gave a nod, I continued

“… please give Sophie your real mother a chance to get to know you as a daughter… I believe she loves you so much although she has her shortcomings… please Angie do this for me” I said and when I got no response from Angie, I decided to give her time to recover from all this present happenings.

” It’s okay Angie, I will give you time to think this through, for now take a nap… I’ll be back to check on you later okay… keep in mind that Daddy loves you always okay!” I said kissing Angie on the forehead before walking out of her bedroom.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

My next location was my bedroom. Sophie and I needs to talk about what she exposed Angie and Chioma to earlier.

I opened the door and stepped in only to see Sophie sitting sexily on my bed, she was putting on her short revealing purple nightwear which I used to love so much in the past, with no bra or panties to hide her privates.

She stood up and began catwalking seductively towards me, while uttering in hushed sexy tones

” do you remember this Tony?” Sophie asked me referring to the nightwear she wore while I simply gave a nod still holding the door handle

“… you bought this for me on one of your short travel trips.. and if you still remember, I was so elated that we had made love all through the night, so much that the room felt how much we loved and valued each other!” Sophie said romantically as she finally reached where I stood quietly beside the bedroom door

” I do remember all those memories Sophie… there’s no point reminding me of them!” I answered as I slowly closed the door and fully came into the bedroom.

” So what changed Tony.. why did you share my lips with another woman?” Sophie asked slowly using her hands to caress my lips

” A lot changed Sophie… A lot!” I said slowly moving away from Sophie, I don’t want to risk falling into temptation considering how scantily dressed she was, combined with the way she was caressing my lips and chest.

” True, a lot indeed changed… you changed from the upright Tony I used to know into a cheat, who was kissing his slut in my matrimonial home!” Sophie shouted but I ignored her vulgar utterances

” Tessy is not a slut Sophie!.. and what I meant by a lot changed isn’t what you said, what it meant is that my feelings for you changed!.. Tessy is now whom I love ” I said calmly

” I will pretend like I didn’t hear the last line.. I just want to keep believing that Tessy woman seduced you into sleeping with her behind my back, because the Tony whom I know would never think of looking at another woman aside his wife, which is me Sophie!” Sophie replied clearly fuming in anger

” Sophie I’m guessing that’s why you were always taking advantage of my love for you because you knew me so well… did you ever consider how I was coping those cold nights I was so horny and needed comfort?.. did my emotional needs and that of Angie ever matter to you at all?”

I gave an honest response already tired of keeping it all in

“.. Sophie your work and selfish desires always came first before your family… Angie and I cried, begged and talked to you severally on some of your self-centered decisions but you were always insensitive as you still are” I shouted staring at her without blinking whilst Sophie was standing quietly, unable to say a word but when she finally did I was shocked at her response

” I’m I the first woman to go to the states to work leaving her husband and daughter here?.. others do that all the time but in my case, my husband decided to cheat on me by sleeping with his hired wife!”

” I’m not surprised you are saying this, you’re always seeing faults in everyone else aside yourself.. anyways you are wrong about Tessy and I, we’ve never been intimate with each other no matter how much we wanted to… I still respect myself, Tessy’s body and my wedding vows to you!”

” Really? thank you so much Tony for not breaking our wedding vows by sleeping with that whore… I love you so much, that’s why I will forgive you for kissing another woman aside me, but don’t do so again” Sophie exclaimed happily and I chuckled at how funny everything seems

” I don’t need your forgiveness or love anymore Sophie.. I love Tessy now and for Angie’s sake, I’ll take our separation process slowly so you will get to know Angie as a mother should.. I’m sorry we had to end this way though” I said walking to the bed to pick a pillow so I will go over to the visitors room for the night, as I knew sleeping with Sophie in my bedroom is not an option.
