~*LOVING MISS BEAUTIFUL
Chapter 1~
....It was a Saturday at about 11am, I had gone to the supermarket to get some groceries when I saw this beautiful, elegant young lady.
She was an epitome of beauty, she was on a lovely blue t-shirt and a black trousers,couple with a pair of matching sneakers, I couldn't help but admire God's work, she was God's perfect creation. I stood looking at her and it was obvious I was loving this beauty in front of me. Still lost in thoughts, I saw her walking towards my direction, or so I thought. She took her things to the cashier, I walked up to where she was and volunteered to pay.
She looked at me from head to toe and asked me not to bother that she could sought herself, but I refuse and pushed forward insisting I pay, again she declined my offer. Although I felt a little embarrassed but I have to let It be to avoid creating a scene. She paid for her things, and went out of the supermarket, I ran after her.
Hello, hello,hello I called As I ran to her, hello gorgeous I said, trying to shoot my shot, you look extremely Beautiful, by the way I am Cyril, but you can call me CY, it's nice meeting you may I know you. So CY or whatever they call you ,you just stop people on the way and want to know them right, she said .no not really I think I like you,so if you don't mind we could go somewhere and talk anywhere is ok by me.
Well Mr cy, thanks but no thanks. I am not interested , i have so many things doing at home I only rushed out to get these, so please maybe next time excuse me,she said and worked out on me. I stood and watched her get a taxi cab and zoomed off I couldn't even get her name nor her phone number.
I went back into the supermarket but the thought of that lady was still in my mind. I bought my needed groceries and domestic stuffs and went back home.
Getting home I couldn't get my mind and thoughts off the beautiful lady I meant at the supermarket, but there was no way I could reach her nor any means to get through to her...
An idea came to me I decided I will be visiting the supermarket every Saturday perhaps she could come by once again. I started going to that supermarket to get things and even when I don't intend to get anything I still go there with the hope to see Miss Beautiful but unfortunately after 4 Saturdays and Miss Beautiful not showing up I was getting discouraged and I thought perhaps she wasn't living in the area.
After sometime I had forgotten about Miss Beautiful and I moved on with my life. I was invited to a birthday party by Ben my friend,it was a Friday, and a colleague of his was The Host. I didn't want to go but Ben talked me into it insisting it was Friday and there was no better way to spend the night than in a party, after much persuasion from Ben I decide to go with him. I had nothing planned for the night anyways, it is better I went out than been bored inside..
We arrived at the party at about 9:30 p.m. Ben was a party type he had join in the party already couple with the fact that you knew most persons there. I on the other hand wasn't much of a party Guy also and i only knew few persons so I decided to sit in a place and enjoy the show from where I was, I am a better spectator then a performer.
There were many dancers I mean good dancers, I just admired them sipping my drink. soon I noticed a beautiful lady whose face keep flashing on my mind I have met this person I thought to myself but where, after much thinking I remembered it was the girl from the supermarket she was looking rather extremely gorgeous that night perhaps a little makeup here and there and done the magic.my God this lady is beautiful indeed,I took my glass of drink and walked up to where she was.
A beautiful evening gorgeous I greeted, hello she replied without showing much concern. I must say you look extremely beautiful and at long last we meet again,I said, she then turned to me trying to get my face perhaps, excuse me have we met before she asked me.yes darling we have,at EVERYTHING SUPERMARKET some months back,the guy who volunteered to sought your bills but you declined saying he wasn't fit enough to,I told you my my is Cyril and that you can call me CY for short,,,ohhhhhh she smiled a little I can remember you now thank you, my face didn't change did it,I asked playfully, Nice having you around the party, you know the celebrant I asked? well not really I'm a friend to his girlfriend. oh oh that's great,I said, I was invited by a friend who happens to be the celebrants colleague. oh that's nice she replied.so miss beautiful,I hope you wouldn't mind giving me your phone number and telling me your name this time around please,I said, well Mr cy I don't go about giving my numbers to every Tom Dick and Harry, oh come on Miss Beautiful please, and what's with this miss beautiful she asked, well until you tell me your name I'll call you that,I said, she laughed that means you're going to be calling me that for a very long time cause I don't give my name at, well not giving your name out wouldn't be a problem I've already named you miss beautiful, just your phone number would do I said.you know you're very corny right she asked,with a little smile but thankfully she gave me her number.
Soon the party was over and I offered to take her home, but she politely refuse my offer. we went home myself and Ben and I was happy to have been in the party and I couldn't tank Ben enough...
LOVING MISS BEAUTIFUL
Chapter 2
....I called to check up on miss beautiful to know if she was home already,and she said she was,I was very happy through out the night,I couldn't thank Ben enough for making go to the party.....it was the best party I had ever went,not because there was any special food or what have you,but because I was able to find what I thought I had lost.
At last it was day break, and I was the first to begin miss beautiful's day with a wonderful text.minutes later ,she texted back, replying thanks alot.I then placed a call to her,since I was sure she was up already.We talked and talked and talked,I told some funny jokes and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.i made sure I was the first to get through to her in the morning and begin her day,I also try to call her before she went to bed.its been weeks since after the party,we have been talking only on phone,we hadn't seen one on one,but we were enjoying each other's company.
About a month after the party,I asked we meet in a fast food.it must have been my lucky day or perhaps she had long waited I asked.she agreed,and a date for dinner was fixed.
She was looking dashing in a beautiful long red dress,a long Beautiful hair,a moderate but perfect makeover,oh my world this lady is beautiful I had said within as I went to open the car door for her.goodevening Cy she said with a beautiful smile,a beautiful evening to you too Miss Beautiful,she smiled shyly.come on Cy now you know my name, are you still going to call me miss beautiful,she asked smiling.ofcourse Beautiful one,I had already named you that,more over your name is Beauty and I call you beautiful,I am not far from the name you know.we both laughed.okay Cy you win,she said.by the way you look gorgeous,I had said.thanks,and you look good too,she added...
I drove to a beautiful classic fast food in town, their meal was amazing,she had her favorite of jollof and chicken,I had same,we talked about life in general.i get to know she is a graduate of Education,from a prestigious private university,she is an only child,it was amazing getting to know all these,I told her about myself too.i really wanted to ask her to be my woman,but I didn't want to rush things,I wanted it to be slow and steady,I was in love with this angel and I knew it,hence she was worth the wait.when it was getting late,I took her home.she confessed she had a good time.i was glad she did....
We went back to our casual way of talking and laughing on the phone.After about two weeks,we went to see a movie together,when the movie was over,we went to a near by eatery to have something,there I asked her to be my girl...she smiled and nodded her head affirmatively.i was very happy,I got up and hugged her,and placed a kiss on her forehead...
Having Miss Beautiful as my girl was wonderful,she was simply amazing,I was falling head over heels in love with this beautiful soul day by day.her parents liked me,so did mine to her when I took her to see them.i couldn't wait to make her mine forever..
It was her birthday,I planned a surprise party for her,I had not call nor texted in the day as I always do,I bet she felt I had forgotten that was her day and probably angry as she didn't call either,,,, towards noon,I had went home to take her out,and she was angry I had forgotten her birthdate,she didn't want to go out with me,but after much persuasion,she agreed.and off I drove her to the venue of her party.she was shocked to see all in attendance,from her friends from way back in school, to present friends and family,she was overwhelmed,I was able to pull that through with the help of her mom.
As the party went by,I knelt and asked Miss Beautiful to be my wife,and she happily said yes,that was the happiest day of my life...
~~LOVING MISS BEAUTIFUL
Chapter 3~
My friend Ben was shocked when I proposed to Miss Beautiful, according to him,I was taking things too fast,common man, you've dated this girl for less than six months,do you think you know her to well to want to spend forever with her,he had asked...
guy see you don't have to study a woman like a university course before you know her,you could be with a person for 30 days and know her will enough,and another man could be with his woman for ten years and still not know her,with Beauty,I think I have found my own.i had confidently replied,ok Cy if you say so,am only concerned,he added,I know man,I know,and I am grateful..
..After that conversation, Ben became very supportive in my wedding preparations, everyone was happy,her parent were proud and happy that their only child was becoming a woman,that joy that envelope the parents of the bride to know that their child had honored them by bringing a man home to do the needful was all over her parents,and my parents,oh they couldn't thank God enough that at long last I was getting married,,,don't get it twisted,am not that old,am 32,but my parents had wanted me to get married when I was 28 being an only son, couple with the fact that I immediately got a job after nysc at 26,they felt there was no point wasting time,but I wasn't just ready untill I met Miss Beautiful.....
Left to me,I would have wanted a simple wedding,but that was not to be heard by Miss Beautiful,she wanted a celebrity wedding,she wanted things way beyond my budget,I tried to explain to her that there was life after wedding,we needed to plan for our marriage and not the wedding which was just a day thing,she said never, she had been to her friends weddings and she saw how things went,she had done maid of honor for some of her friends and she had told them hers was going to be the best, anything less of the best would not be attached to her,at first I thought she wasn't serious,but as days went by she maintained her stands.
Ben, Beauty is making the whole wedding plans and preparations so difficult,she wants an extravagant wedding,way above my budget,I really don't know what to do,I had told Ben,what do you mean you don't know what to do,guy this is a family you are trying to build with this lady,you have to make her know and understand you are the head,and should have the final say in decisions like this, see guy,now how you take start this whole thing your home go be las las after wedding ohhhh,come on man,a woman that loves you and wants to build a home with you will think about the future in anything she does,,,,,,Ben you know I love Beauty,I want to make her happy,I don't know how to go about the whole thing,you won't believe her wedding gown is 800k,ehennnnn Ben shouted,guy waiting you go put hand,800 what?,na the gown she go wear the day Jesus go come,come onnn CY no start waiting you no fit finish ohhh,well I actually told her to get something else,that it was just too expensive,this is to mention but few of all the extravagant things she wanted.....well guy I don talk my own,if you get ear hear,na you sabi...
I thought about all Ben had said,and I knew he got some points,I mean I would have to define how my home should be now,else it will keep driving to this direction of doom.i decided I was going to talk to Miss Beautiful one on one calmly,and hope that perhaps she'd listen...
Sweetheart you know I love you,and trust me,if I had as much as you are asking,I won't even think twice before giving you your demands,but my darling,I want to be able to take good care of you after the wedding,please let's cut down on our expenses,and focus on our marriage which is forever,I talked and talked and talked,she was mute and calm all through,my words may have fell on the fertile part of her heart,she exhaled and then spoke,ok,no problem,she said,just give me what you have for the wedding and I'd know how to plan she said,,I was very happy and I hugged her beautifully,I made a transfer of 3million naria,and she thanked me,,,
Oh how blessed I am to have such a wonderful lady for a life partner,I thought,I went to bed that night feeling myself and smiling...
~LOVING MISS BEAUTIFUL
Chapter 4...~
I couldn't thank God enough for touching the heart of my fiancee,and making her see reasons why we shouldn't empty our account for wedding,when marriage is the real thing,even the three million I had given to her affected my account a great deal,but I just wanted her to be happy to a large extent,and I believed she was.....
Our wedding was in two weeks,Miss Beautiful and the mother were in charge,they were the ones putting things in place,I have not really planned any party my whole life, because such things doesn't bother me,so I only made sure I had giving the cash,the other parts were left to them, though I was calling everyday to make sure things were going well.the closer it gets,the more nervous I became,I just wanted it over and done with,and have my peace ,and to know that Miss Beautiful has become official Mrs CY...
As the days went by my fiancee was shinny,oh I believed it was that glow that is common amongst bride to be and newly married,she was looking soooooo Beautiful,indeed she is my Miss Beautiful....
After all the planning and planning,it was our day.I stood at the alter with Ben beside me as my best man,with ~the officiating pastor,when this beautiful lady in a type of wedding gown I had only seen in super movies,or in celebrity Catalog~ walked in, ~accompanied by her flashy and classic bridal train,oh she was looking extremely gorgeous..if it weren't the church or our banner at the gate I would have perhaps not rec~ ognize my bride.she was looking stunning,the make up artist had done a marvellous job.
Her bridal trains which consisted of four different set and four different colors had form two lines,the flower girls ~were doing a wonderful job in the way they threw the flowers in unison,I bet they must have practiced,those kids were ~amazi~ ng.the little bride walked in,a charming little princess, best described as cinderella,for she was looking superb in her cinderella kind of gown, accompanied was the angelic~ kids as ~I'd like to describe them,about 8 kids with wings like angels came in dancing ballet,I was still wondering how Beauty was able to~ pull this through, the congregation couldn't help but marvel at the grand entrance of my wife to be...
After the kids had danced to their position,the first two set of bridal ~train danced in Beautifully ,then comes my bride, ~dancing in lead by her father, accompanied by the last set of bridal train looking so flawless and fabulou~ s.As she came closer I wore a broad smile,and she reciprocated.
~
The ~wedding procedure began, introduction of ministers and dignitaries, singing of hymns,the word, And of ~course the joining,it was b~ eautiful confessing my love to miss Beautiful and promising before God and Man to love and cherish her all the days of my life, she ~promised same,to love, r~ espect and be submissive all the days of her life too, oh it was amazing.Family and friends came to celebrate ~with us and Cong~ ratulate us after we were declared husband and wife,it was woooww.We signed our marriage certificate and we were on our wa~ y to our reception grand....
Our reception was held in one of the most expensive hotels in town,it was beautifully decorated,there was ~sophisticated wine and drinks,and different types of food, but local and intercontinental dishes, which I only wondered why Beaut~ y added that as only very few persons touched it.did I tell ~you it was serve yourself.i started to imagine if three million naria would have been enough to pull this kind of wedding.we went in to have a change for our seco~ nd outfit,I had to quickly ask my wife,honey how did you pull all these,you mean three million could give such flamboyant wedding?,she smiled and told me to relax, that it's our day,we should only but be merry.
We danced,and rejoice, celebration was in the air, everyone was happy,at long last,the wedding was over....
Beauty was accompanied home to my house by some members of her family who were mostly Women, carrying her belongings and other kitchen items that custom demands of her mother to gift her as she begins her new home.
The women kept saying trees had fallen on the way and they wanted me to come remove it if I wanted my wife brought to me,all they actually needed was money and it was all for fun.
After all the drama,my wife was handed to me and my family,and we were very grateful.miss beautiful had wanted us to have our honeymoon immediately,but I had told her our first night as man and wife will be spent in our matrimonial home and the honeymoon thing could be a day after, thankfully she obliged..
I had a talk with her that night,and told her we just started a new home,and only the both of us could make it work or not,we should be each other's friend and confidant,we should discuss things with each other first before anyone else, we had a little prayer, inviting God to come dwell in our home,and after which we went to the hotel for our honeymoon the next day,and that lasted for about two weeks,and then we were back home.
It was a beautiful experience,indeed he who finds a wife,finds a good thing...
~~LOVING MISS BEAUTIFUL
Chapter 5~
About a week after we had returned from the hotel to our home,I was in charge of the domestic chores in the house,I had taking one month leave of work,the company I was working with had granted me,for I have never taking even the three weeks leave entitled to me every year,I had never seen the need, untill my wedding,and when I requested for a month,it was granted without stress..
I was in charge of the cooking , Cleaning and everything there is to do,Miss Beautiful won't even make attempt of getting up,I actually felt she was been an iyawo,who still wanted her husband's love and care,,it was the last week of my leave,about a month after marriage,I had thought she'd understand,and know oh I should also rest before I resume duties at work the next week,but that was not her concern,she could chart on her phone for hours , forgetting she has a husband, and when she becomes tired of chatting, she'd start complaining she's hungry,and it will still fall on me to fix something from us.i didn't complain I felt she wanted me to do the chores untill I resumed..
Finally my one month leave was over,it was the morning of my first day at work after being a married man,like every other woman,I had thought Beauty would have woken up to fix anything for me for breakfast,no matter how little,even if it was a cup of tea.i woke up at 6am,had my bath, put on my clothes,I was all well dressed for work,but no breakfast on sight,and my wife was still on the bed spreading her legs.i had to wake her up...
Honey , goodmorning,how was your night,I asked,,she nodded her head In positive as her response.honey,I am off for work,no breakfast fro me, I asked smiling,just so I don't sound or appear authoritative.ohhhh naaaaaa, baby,don't tell me you woke me up just to fix breakfast for you,come on, there's provision and bread on the dinning table,fix yourself a cup of tea,I looked at her,not knowing what to say exactly,she was right any ways,I thought within,I should be able to fix my own breakfast , especially since it's something as simple as a cup of tea.i had my meal and off I went to work,not even a hug or kiss from my wife.i thought that's what love and being married is,even though I haven't been married before,at least I had seen it in movies,I encouraged myself,maybe perpharps marriage isn't as beautiful as it is seems in movies,but I was determined to make us as sweet as in the movies,I went to the bedroom and kissed her by the check, whispering have a good day in her ears,we had everything at home,even frozen chickens and beafs, everything she needed to make a good meal was available at her finger , nevertheless I dropped #5000 should she need anything...
Getting to the office, I was warmly and gladly welcomed, married man became my new name,my colleagues were very happy to have me back.At the close of the day,I was about going home when my boss,the CEO of the company gave me a wonderful gift , something I never expected nor saw coming,it was a well wrapped industrial fan,I was overjoyed,and thanked him...
Getting home,I happily dropped the fan from the back seat of my car and took it inside,getting to the house, everywhere and everything seems to be thesame,I wondered if my wife had swept at all,she was relaxing on the sofa enjoying a television series when I entered,welcome honey,she greeted,you bought a new fan,she asked,oh no it was a gift from the office,I replied...so as big as that company of yours,it's just a standing fan they could gift you,I was suprised,but I just ingnored her speech...
Honey,did you sweep this house today at all, everything seems thesame way I left it,I said,well I didn't, I was tired,I didn't feel like sweeping.she said.
You didn't feel like sweeping,come on,even if you couldn't sweep the whole house,you should have done something about the sitting room,what if I was coming with a visitor?,I had asked...
Well a good husband, wouldn't just bring a visitor home, without calling to inform his wife,she said.i didn't want us to have a fight,I just kept quiet and went inside to undress.
I soon came out in a casual wear,after I had bath and sat in the dinning table,but my wife continued watching whatever it was she was watching,haven sat for say 5minutes and she didn't mind me,I had to call her attention, honey what's for dinner,I a very hungry,I said.ah,I thought you were going to buy something for us when coming,I am hungry too,I need a good food,I have only had tea and cornflakes since for breakfast and lunch,I was waiting for you to get something nice for dinner,she said.
oh heaven's I was lossing it,wait Beauty,if I understand you,you are telling me that there isn't anything for dinner in this house,what exactly have you been doing since morning that made you not fix anything,even as simple as spaghetti,what kind of a woman are you,I didn't have breakfast this morning,and you are giving me this sermon for dinner,I said.
i said I was tired,can't I be tired,,I am your wife not your maid,she replied angrily..
I just took my car keys and drove out I didn't want to get more provoked.
As I drove to a nearby fast food,I thought about my life,and concluded I may have rushed things, perpharps I should have get to know more of Beauty before taking her to the alter,when it comes to marriage, Beauty and love is NEVER enough.
i had arrived the fast-food and ordered for something to eat,when I was done,I was about going home without getting something for her,but my concience didn't allow me,I had gotten to my car,but had to go back to get something for Beauty,I couldn't bear seeing her go to bed on an empty stomach,one thing was certain,I didn't like this lazy attitude of hers and I wasn't going to take it...
Days on it was weekend,and I had planned to have a long rest in bed,but at about 5am,there was this loud knock at the gate that could even wake the dead,I immediately woke up,same did my wife,who could that be,I checked the clock,it was some minutes past 5,who could that be,we both wondered...
~LOVING MISS BEAUTIFUL~
Chapter 6
Getting outside,the gatekeeper had already open up the gate,a lady in her 40ties was with some police men,as we came closer she said, that's the stupid lady, arrest her, arrest who? My wife asked Looking confused,oh stop the drama you imbecile, officers arrest this thing, well madam,you will do well by telling me what my wife has done,I said,well you will know what this thing you call a wife has done in the police station,she said,then in that case I know my right,I am a citizen of this country,and you can't come to my house and arrest my wife without telling what she did and where you are taking her to,I said.
Well sir,your wife is under arrest for murder,the officer in charge said, MURDER,my wife and I chorused and asked in shock,yes Murder,the murder of one Chief.S.A Williams.you have the right to remain silent because anything you say or do will be used against you in the Court of law.My wife was in hand cuffs and led to the van like a criminal ..
I quickly went to my car too and drove behind them with divers thought on my mind,I didn't know what to think or say,how did my wife get involved in a murder case,I had thought,or could it be a miss up, nevertheless I was determined to get to the root of the matter. ...
We arrived at the station,and my wife was taken to an interrogation room, apparently the case was a huge one,I later gathered from the woman,the wife of the deceased, that my wife was with him in the hotel prior to his death,,,,the whole thing was getting confusing,I couldn't comprehend what Mrs Williams was trying to say,,,, what don't you understand,that your good for nothing wife has been having an affair with my husband,or that he was the one that sponsored your celebrity wedding because you were too handicapped to sponsor your own wedding,the worse is that,that thing you call a wife didn't stop evening after been married to you,she still continued her promiscuous affair with my husband,and eventually killed him,I will deal with her,she kept shouting.i didn't know what to say,I couldn't sponsor my own wedding?,oh my God,my head was spinning fast I was going crazy,I dipped my hand in my pocket ,got my phone and placed a call to my lawyer,since they had prevented me from seeing my wife,I needed some clarification,I couldn't placed my hands on what Mrs Williams was saying , because she wasn't making sense,I needed to hear from Beauty,and the only way to have access to her was through a Barrister....
Soon my lawyer arrived and he demanded to speak with my wife,I went in with him,my wife was looking very weak and dejected,fear was written all over her,I was starring at her in the eyes,I didn't know what to say or do,the lawyer had asked me not to say anything if I wanted my wife to speak,or he would send me out...
I am Barrister P.O Jude,I am here to help you,you would have to tell me everything there is to say or know,so that I know how to help you,so let's hear,he brought out his book and pen.
My wife went down on her kneels begging , honey ,I am so sorry,please forgive me,she was saying in tears,Mrs Cyril you can actually do this by the time you are out,please speak up.the barrister said.
Cheif williams has been my sugar daddy for a long time,say about one year plus,she had started,he has been given me all I wanted,when Cy came to my life,I saw he was serious,but he didn't have enough like Chief,but I knew he loves me genuinely,so I decided to keep going out with chief for financial benefits.
When CY proposed,I wanted an elaborate wedding,but CY didn't have enough, I saw he gave his best when he sent me 3million,but I wanted more,I wanted my wedding to last on the lips of my friends for a long time,I had told them my wedding was going to be one in a lifetime,,,,so I called chief to assist me with money,he promised he will,only if I promise to keep sleeping with before and even after the wedding,so you continued,you continued you disgusting slut,I shouted.
Mr Cyril please calm down, calm down,we need to get to the bottom of this case,and we can only do that if we hear in detail your wife's side of this story,this is a murder case,and the deceased happens to be a prominent personality,if we don't do our best,your wife will rot in jail or be sentence to death,the barrister said, does it look like I care,does it,she can rot in hell for all I care,I said,I was in so much pain,to think I was married to a lossd Woman,and a materialistic one at that.Mr Cyril if you can not stand the details you can go out,I allowed you in because you promised you'd listen, unfortunately,that isn't happening,the barrister said.i am sorry barrister,I would try my best to be in my best behavior,I said.
I am so sorry Cy,you don't deserve someone like me,you are too good a man to be with my kind.Beauty said, please continue Mrs Cyril the barrister said.i continued my affair with chief, and he was the one behind the elaborate wedding.she said.i was already in tears..
"So,what happened last night?",the barrister asked.My husband had gone to work, chief invited me to his hotel, meanwhile,I had already seen I was married to one of the remaining good men alive,and I was determined to change and stop my excapde with chief before he finds out..I arrived at chief's hotel,and he was so happy to see me,I had se se sex with him,she stuttered,he even gave me a cheque of 500 ~hundred thousand,but i told him I couldn't continued the adultrious act with him,he wasn't happy with me,buttttttt,so you left my house and ~couldn't tidy it up, no~ n cook for me,even though you know it's my first day at work, because of another man,oh I wept,,,Mr Cyril please be calm,madam so when you told him you were~ no longer interested,what was his response,the barrister asked.
He said no,he ~disagreed,saying he wanted more of me,that he loves me,I didn't allow him change my mind,I took my bag and left, Beauty said,so there was no form of ~argument, fight or any struggle before you lef~ t,the barrister asked her,No,No No she replied.So WHO KILLED CHIEF?,the Barrister asked
~LOVING MISS BEAUTIFUL~
CHAPTER 7...
.....I don't know sir,but I have no hand in chief's death I promise,my wife said in tears.
Hmmmmm,I must admit,this is a serious case,but one thing that would save us is the hotel's CCTV camera, that's if they have any.mr Cyril,I must tell you the truth,we have a though case at hand,a life was lost,am afraid we may not be allowed to bail her,I didn't know how to feel,sad that my wife would be detained in the police station,or happy that her sins had caught up with her.i looked at her and could see the pains in her eyes,I am sorry,please forgive me,she said as she was taking back to the cell.
I place a call to her parents to inform them of the latest development,they were shocked to hear such,they hurried to the police station,and they were very dissapointed at their daughter,from whom did you learn this behavior of yours,I even asked you during your wedding if CY was able to afford all these,and you said yes,I never knew you were on your way to doom,what would make you not be contented with what you have,her mother asked in tears, I believe you have gotten what you wanted,your friends that you have tried so much to impress have forgotten about your wedding and have gone on with thier lives,no matter how fancy and classic your wedding is,there is no first position,now see yourself, Mother am sorry,I was very stupid,I feel so ashamed of myself to have brought this pain and shame upon you and dad and my husband.mt wife said...
Nothing was making sense to me,I was full of regret,if I had known I would have taken my time,if I had known I would have listened to Ben,if I had known I would have read the signs cause ~there were Boldly written, I was only blinded by love and beauty,I had so many if I had known on my mind,the love I thought I had ,had become hate all of a sudden,if she wasn't ready to beco~ me a Mrs she would have continued with her way of promiscuity.
Soon Ben arrived,he was very sorry for both my wife and I,we were still in our pyjamas by 11am ,I told him everything,and he was disappointed in Beauty like every other person was.
Guy I am so done ,I am done with this thing called marriage,how could I have a slut for a wife,if I had known I would have listened to you,may be I wouldn't have been in this mess,I said to Ben,,,.
I can only but imagine what you are going through, Ben said,but this is no time to be frustrated or be full of regret,your wife needs you now than ever, remember your vows to her,it's for better for worse you know,,,this is the worse you signed and vowed before God and Man,please,I know it's not easy on you,but don't give up on your wife now,you love her and I know,nobody is above mistake or sins,for to err is human but to forgive is divine.
I was shocked at what Ben said,I had thought it was time for him to say,I told you,I warned you,but he came with something different.he asked me to go home and change into something else and also go to my place of work and inform them I won't be coming to work,so that I don't lose my job,indeed he was right,as I drove home,I thought about what Ben had said and realised he was very right,even though I was angry at Beauty,it wasn't a time for blame games ,I needed to stand by her,I went home and changed Into something casual and Simple,I also went to work to my boss,and told him the issue at hand,though not in details,I still had to protect my wife's eagle,I only told him my wife was been wrongly accused and had been taken to the police custody,he understood caus he has a wife too,and probably would have done same if in my shoes,he granted me some time off....
I reached out to the Barrister again,we went back to the hotel,and we asked for the CCTV coverage of the hotel to help with the case,it was relised to us,I saw my wife walked In into the hotel with chief,some tear drops came down and I quickly wiped it off,the CCTV didn't show inside the room,it was regulated like that I guess, somehow I was happy,cos I didn't know if I could take watching another man my father's age on top of my wife.
Hours later we saw her came out alone,not looking happy like when she had entered,she looked right and left,and then went out,we watched and watched,and no other person came in,till one of the hotel workers seen with a broom and parker went in,and cried out in less than 15seconds, apparently she was the one who discovered the corps.
Everything was confusing, because from the CCTV my wife was the last person with him before he met his death,yet Beauty insisted she didn't kill him,so the big Question remained ,who killed Chief???

Chapter 8~
.... The case was getting though by the day,my wife seems to be the prime suspect, Mrs Williams was a strong woman,she made sure justice was served her husband,she was always at the police station,not wanting my wife to get freed at all, according to her,my wife has been the reason her husband was never home with her and the family, because he was always taking her to different parts of the world...
on one of her visit to the police station,she confronted my wife,I shall make sure you end the rest of your miserable life in jail,you ,you and the likes of you had been the problem in my home,where were you,where were you when my husband was nothing,where were you when we lived from hand to mouth,where were you when I starved to bed so my husband and kids could eat something, where were you when I sacrificed my all to build my home,now that am supposed to be relaxed and enjoying my sweat you and your kinds are busy reaping where you did not sow,to make matters worse,you are the most worthless of your kind,even after getting married,you weren't satisfied with your husband's pleasure stick,that you have to keep coming after my husband day by day,you still went as far as to take his life and make me a widow in my fortiest,one thing am sure of,is the fact that you will pay for this.mrs Williams had said.
Ma,I know I can't apologize for all the pains I caused you with my illicit act with your husband,but I am regrettably sorry,if only I can turn back the hands of time,I am so ashamed to face myself please forgive ma,I am deeply sorry, Beauty said...
You are sorry,you are sorry,can been sorry bring my husband back to life,can been sorry stop my kids from being fatherless in such ages,you haven't seen anything yet,by the time you are in Lagos maximum prison,I bet you will be more story,she said and left...
I looked at my wife in anger and ran after Mrs Williams, excuse me ma,I know what my wife did to you is beyond forgiveness,but please temper justice with mercy,have mercy i said,what kind of a man are you,you still refer to that woman as your wife,she asked.well she's still my wife ma, I said,I see,she is still your wife,you still have someone to call your wife,but I lost my husband,and had become a widow in my fortiest,my children have become fatherless in their young age and you want me temper what...Mr Cyril we shall meet in court.excuse me.she said and walked out on me....
In court?, oh my God,this is serious,it's been 5 days and my wife had emaciated, looking just like a shadow of her real self. The barrister said the police presented an autopsy result which says Mr Williams was strangled to death,but would my wife have the strength to strangle a full grown man in his late 40ties or early fifties,,,,The barrister interrogated everyone in that hotel,but non seems to have a hand in Chief's death.
Soon the case was charged to court,we were all worried and confused,I had saved my pride,and surpressed my anger,I asked Beauty to confide in me ,at least there was nothing more she could do to me that would be more humiliating than she already did,,so tell me the truth,Did you Murder Mr Williams,I had asked,she looked me straight in the eyes and said,I know I had betrayed your trust and love for me,and you would probably not have any reason to believe me anymore,but please,just hear me this once,I Don't have a hand in Chief's Death,she had said
....the first hearing was in few days,all hope seems lost,my mother in-law had become worried over her only child been in cell, probably on her way to jail or death,she had stopped eating well,she was looking sick already,my father in-law may have tried acting like a man,but I know deep down he's as hurt as the rest of us.
I turned to God,he alone could see us through this, because even my barrister who happens to be one of the best in the State seems confused as well.
One evening,I got a call from a lady who I knew not,asking to see me as regards my wife's case,we met that evening to a small fast food.
Who are you please,and how did you get my contact,and please what's the help you say you have,calm down Mr CY,I called you right,i would want our meeting to remain between us,I AM a helper in the Williams mansion,and I think Mrs Williams knows something about her husband's death,she had said...

Chapter 9~
....what, Mrs Williams?,please go on,why do you say so,I asked her.she had always complained about oga's involvement with other women and how he takes them on different vacations while she's stock at home ,she had always said she was going to deal with oga in such a way that he'd not believe.The very day oga died,I was going to tidy Madam's room,when I heard her on phone with someone,I eavesdropped at her conversation,and I heard her telling the person on the other end to carry out with the plan,that she was tired of everything and it was better she ended it all instead of a marriage like this.She also went further to tell the person to make sure the plan doesn't exceed that very day for her mind was made up.So later the day,when I heard Cheif had died,my mind flased back to the conversation I heard madam on phone,I have been trying to keep it to myself,but I can't,it bothers me that the real killer of Cheif is walking freely,while someone else is paying for her sins,I am not saying your wife is a saint,, she's the architect of all the misfortune,if she wasn't coming after someone else's husband,she wouldn't be in this mess, nevertheless,madam had no right taking a life,there are different ways one can express her displeasure over issues,not resolving to killing.she said.
Hmmmmmm,this is a big revelation indeed,but how can a woman murder her own husband all in the name of expressing anger,two wrongs does not and can never make a right,what does she stand to gain by killing her husband and the father of her children,I had asked a rhetorical question.
Perhaps to get your wife in trouble,that washer plan all along,and believe me, Mrs Williams would make sure of that.the lady had said.But wait my sister,the information you brought would go a long way for us,what if you are called to as a withness,I asked her.hmmmmmmmm honestly I didn't want to get involved,but if speaking would give Mr Williams the justice he deserves,and free your wife from paying for a crime she didn't commit,then so be it,I shall.she said,oh Thank you so much my lady,I said.
I related the development with my barrister,and he said it could help our case,we got the police made a report,and got some police men with us to Mrs Williams house.Officers you are welcome,she had greeted when we got to the Williams mansion.madam you are under arrest over the murder case of Mr williams.an officer said.i beg your pardon,how dare you make me a suspect over the death of my husband,she said in anger, ma,you have the right to remain silent because anything you say or do will be used against you in the court of law,please move it,he said...
Mrs Williams though shocked replied ,okay okay okay,we shall,I shall be driving in my car,she said,no problem ma,an officer will only ride with you,we drove to the police station and she was taking to the interrogative room.
In the early hours of the day your husband died,who did you call,say between 7_9am,she was asked,the only person I called that day was my elder brother in the village,she replied.would you mind telling us what your conversation with him was,the officer asked her,well I wanted him to help do something,she said ,what exactly if you don't mind,that's confidential and private Mrs Williams replied. Will madam this is a murder case, and we are leaving no stone unturned. for your own good what was your conversation with your brother.
I was asking him to return the Bride price William paid on my head as I was done with the marriage, I had long wanted to get out of the marriage but each time I think of my children I always end up changing my mind,on that very day I begged my brother to return Williams Bride price before I changed my mind again. I pleaded with him to carry it out that day but somehow he still managed not to . Williams hurt me when he was alive. I wanted to get out of the marriage, I wanted a breath of fresh air .if my brother had returned the bride price as I had asked him,I wouldn't have been labelled a widow today over a promiscuous man who died in the hands of his mistress. She said.
The detective did some investigation,and even went to the village to get the brother arrested,he was interogated in a different place and even without seeing the sister was able to say the exact words his sister said.the detective has someone in the networking service,he was able to trace both their calls,and detected the conversation was the exact thing they had said,with all those, there weren't any evidence against Mrs Williams to pin the case on her,it would be against the law and her human right detaining her without any tangible evidence.
She was allowed to go due to lack of evidence.she walked up to me,with anger in her eyes.so you want to pin the death of my own husband on me to free your promiscuous wife, Cyril,read my lips I shall make sure you wife rots in jail,even if it's the last thing I do.
Days on ,it was the first hearing of the case,I was in court,as well as my wife's parents, Ben was with me too, Mrs Williams and her two children who are young adults say 18 and 16 respectively if am to guess their age .I had never been to court since I was born,I only watch how cases are presented in movies,who would have thought that my wife will be the one to show me the way leading to a court house.
My wife was brought in by some police men in handcuffs,she was looking very pitiable, unkempt, malnutritioned,and a shadow of herself,the beauty I had thought I saw,loved and went crazy about had all gone away,indeed when it comes to love, marriage and relationship,it's good to love the person as a person,it is good to have deep feeling of love from within, because looking a particular thing may become dangerous when that thing disappears ,the cuffs were taking off her hand.and the registrar introduced the case.my wife was made to swear by the bible to speak the truth and nothing but the truth.
my wife was directed to the withness stand,the judge read the accusation against her,and asked her what she pleaded Guilty or not Guilty,my wife responded Not Guilty.the Counsel to the plaintiff (Mrs Williams) was the first to be called upon to examine my wife,the lawyer was a very intelligent one,one who had never lost a case in more than 20 years in practicing, Mrs Williams really promised to deal with my wife and she meant it,, because hiring the services of Barrister Joe was no small task.
Who is the deceased to you,he had asked my wife, my,my, sugar daddy,my wife said,it felt someone poured hot coal on me,but Ben tapped me,he must have read my mood,asking me to be composed.by sugar daddy,you mean to say you were his mistress,my wife nooded,you would not nod young lady but would speak,the barrister said in supppressed anger,Yess Beauty said.so on the 15th of February,where were you in the hours of 8am_4pm,the barrister asked,I...I...I... Was with Cheif in an hotel,she said,so you were in the hotel with someone else's husband for 8hours,doing what exactly, singing praise and worship (he said that in sarcasm),many persons in court laughed,orderrrrr,the bailiff shouted..
Answer me,I believe you were dancing and singing with the deceased for over 8 hours,the barrister asked again, objection my lord,my barrister said, objection sustained,counsel to the plantiff go straight to your questions,am sorry my lord,he said and continued,what exactly were you doing in the hotel room with a man not your legally married husband for over. 8 hours,he asked again,we we were having sex,my wife said in tears,and some tear drops came down my eyes as persons gave unpleasing remarks about my wife illicit affair with Cheif,even my parents in law were ashamed of their daughter.My wife narrated same thing she had told the barrister and I,that she went to end things with Chief.
So after the sex,and the you ending it with him,what happened next,the barrister asked, nothing happened,he understood and respected my decision,I left the hotel and went home,My wife said,but before his death you were the last person with him according to the CCTV camera,what do you have to say about that, the barrister asked,,, Beauty kept quiet,I believe she didn't know what to say.
The case was adjourned to three weeks time,my wife taking back to cell,the journalist were everywhere,Mr Williams was a prominent personality,hence the news spread like wide fire....
