"Dad didn't go on a business trip, he actually went to see her. He wnt to see his mistress, his homewrecker. His snitch of a woman" Michael said stressing each syllable like he couldn't believe he would say such a thing some day. Not to me at least
I never realised how hurt and disappointed he was, not until after hearing him say those words.
I wasn't shocked dad was seeing another woman, I really wasn't surprised. It sounds like something dad would do without bantering and eyelid. I only feel ashamed and disappointed on his behalf, like why did he really have to fool us all. Of every idea he could think of, the best he choosed was a three months business trip idea. He is such a liar and a jerk
Like what was even his plan, to spend a whole three months with some random mistress while we all think he is out to make money. To spend three months with a home wrecker and leaving his family without fatherly love. It's not like his presence actually brings peace, besides anytime he is around, the home becomes unconducive for everyone. But that really ain't enough reason for the nigga to go fucking someone else just because she puts on skirt and he can't control his sexual urge and his sense of reasoning. I just hope he knows I don't have even a single form of respect left for him again
I still really can't believe he could come up with that idea, like for how long has he even been lying to us, who knows how many times he has even used business trip stuff to fool us. I can't even believe he would do this
I'm not shocked he has a mistress, I really am not. It has happened before, like he once brought a woman home some sickly looking lady, , yea he is quite the womanizer mum called him. He had a mistress three years back or let me just say , he was caught three years back that to, on his fucking matrimonial bed.
It was a really big issue which urrrghhh no one really wants to remember. But he promised to change, he promised to become a good husband and father. Though his parenting became worst but He actually let go of his mistress, he made us believe he did at least. He decided to become faithful again, to fix the broken pieces and compensate for everything in the best way he could.
He was really determined to be the best version of himself and the first few months later actually showed great improvement. It actually made my mum over look the whole cheating stuff and decided to trust him one more time. But then his other character towards us only lasted for not up to a month before he returned back to being the bad father he really was.
I really don't understand why he decided to get a new one, a new mistress and and a new homewrecker three years later, what could have actually made him to go get a new mistress without minding how it will affect us
So I had to turn to Micheal to get the rest of the information
"Who is she and how long has what ever they share being going on" I asked trying to avoid contact. I really wasn't ready mentally and emotionally to accept the whole truth, I sat there half wishing it wasn't true
"The woman from before" he replied with his voice sounding heavy
"Whaaattt????" I blurted out "you mean he went back to the same lady" "it's been three years already, like why would he go back to her" I yelled feeling more pissed than i really should feel
"Lower your voice girl" Michael said whilst playfully shoving my sides
Mum is actually sleeping, I wouldnt want you to wake her up with your screams
I all but laughed at that, I urged him on to continue the real deal about the other woman that actually came to destroy what my mum has been working hardon for over the years
Michael stared at me with a look of pity and something else,,, he was actually contemplating within him if he should say something else
I noticed so I had to urge him on with my eyes
"I'm afraid he never left her, he never really ended things and went no contact. They were sill together, they kept seeing each other. They only changed their tactics to avoid been caught" Michael finally said "He just fooled us, he fooled each one of us, made us believe he was a changed person. Only for him to still go behind our backs to keep fucking that asshole. God knows I really hate that bastard of a man, parading himself as my father."
How could dad do this to us, how could he. Doesn't he even have human sympathy, has he sold his conscience to the devil himself or what. Like after everything he did in the past that he even brought her home and was caught. After all the apologies and promises to change he still didn't . Why is he never satisfied with what he has, why is he so bent on ruining a family he didn't even build himself.
The more I sat staring into space, the more thoughts kept running through my mind and the water work increases, broken pieces keep screaming and wailing to be fixed. Michael didn't try to comfort me this time around, he let me cry, he allowed me to feel hurt and control my emotions myself.
When I was more stable I had to ask him how they found out. I really wanted to know everything, I needed to know, I am not a child anymore
"Some unknown good Samaritan sent pictures to mum... It was a private number.. The pictures showed dad was in town, with his woman whose face was covered and clearly avoided. It had pictures of him checking into a hotel with her and some pictures of them both going shopping and other stuffs .
Dad wanted to deny it but then, from the angles those pictures were shot, you can clearly see they were doing more,, some were pictures of them hugging and holding hands and they were kissing in one particular picture. I couldn't let mum see that one, I had to immediately transfer it to my phone and removed it from hers
I still don't know why your old man is still denying it"
At this point I actually realized so many things sounded really fishy.
"Michael" I called out
"Yes Lily"
"Didn't you notice anything amiss in all this?" I had to ask because I could already see so many loopholes here and there
I knew Michael saw them as well. He really wasn't an A.P/GP student just by name
"You are talking about the anonymous sender I guess" he all but asked
I nodded
"I have tried tracing and tracking the number, I have checked for any error or clue to find out who it was, but still nothing. The person seems to be a very smart person. Clearing all clues and making it impossible for anyone to track them down but it's fine. I just need time" Michael kept going on and on saying he would find the person soon and so much more.
At that point I really wanted him to shut up so I could think properly but then again, he is my annoying elder brother, I still need to give him the maximum respect he deserves.
Just then I thought of something
"How did mum find out about the stuff three years ago" I asked
"She met them at home...
"Them?"""
"Yea, dad and his mistress" Micheal stated "she actually ran out before mum could get a hold of her or even see her face."
"If I can remember vividly, she travelled and wasn't suppose to return that day..... So what brought her home"I said trying to make a point
"Wait Lily are you trying to say...."
"Yea what if..." I said
Michael stared at me for a while before saying "you are actually making a point, but even if.... Do you think it would be the same person"
"You never can tell, we can't just wipe off the possibility like that"
"So lily what you are saying is that it's actually possible it was someone that mum come home and it might still be the same person that still sent those photos 3 years later "
I don't know why but I actually had this feeling that I was right, mum didn't just appear from nowhere. Someone instigated her to come home and I was really sure it's the same person that sent this recent photos.
But if it's really true, then who is this person, what is the person's agenda, what does he/she plan to gain from all this. Where was the person for the past three years, why did she decide to bring things to light once again. So many questions I need answers to.
I and Micheal were sure we were definitely going to get to the root of everything, we are definitely going to find answers to all our questions, not just that. We are definitely going to unmask my dad's mistress and put her in her place.
This is definitely a start of a mission for us, a mission we must surely complete no matter what it takes.
But first off we still need to find out if our initial suspicion was actually right. We need to know why mum came back from her journey before the agreed time. It is only through that answer that we can get the answers to many others.
But our biggest problem right now is actually how to get mum to talk about it. It's not like we've really spoken to her properly since the whole stuff that has been going on since afternoon.
It has really been a long day in deed, we decided to sleep and continue our questions some other time. Hoping and praying they would be lesser drama tomorrow.
