"Oh wow! Mom that means you have indeed been in this business for a long time. How then did you manage to find a bottle of drugged wine without the seal being broken? Because I have never heard of such a thing before." Bimbo asked in astonishment. But the woman laughed it off and cleared her throat "Ughnn! Ughnn! Let's just leave it as one of the wonders of the world because I can't disclose such a delicate issue to you. The most important thing is that you do as you have been told without missing any of my instructions."
Mr Andrews stood in the living room, watching his wife talk and laugh with so much enthusiasm and he wondered what it was that she was telling their daughter over the phone. He knew how mischievous and cunny she could be that was why he had no intention of making her his wife many years ago, but unfortunately, he had made just one mistake of letting her come to his house and that eventually resulted in the conception and birth of their daughter. And as was the culture of his people, he had to take responsibility by making the mother of his child, his wife. He however realized quite late that she wasn't only a mischievous fellow but also very conniving and manipulative when she wants something done her way. After having Bimbo, she had deliberately refused to have another baby because according to her, she couldn't bear such pain again and she didn't want her body to be damaged by the birth of a second child. Even in all of this, she went about telling people how she wished she could have more babies after pli but life had been unfair to her, when they both knew that they didn't have more babies only because she said so. Bimbo no matter how hard he had tried, was obviously towing her mother's path in wrong doing. For a long time he tried to protect that girl from her own mother's narcissistic behavior but as usual, his wife had somehow found a way to control every decision in life to please herself and not for the good of the girl.
He decided to walk up to her and find out what exactly it was they were talking about but when he got to where she was sitting, she paused and looked at him with angry eyes, hoping he would leave but he stood still looking into the distance with his hands wrapped around his body obviously not bothered by her piercing eyes on him
"Mommy.. mommy.. are you there?" Bimbo asked after getting no response from her mother.
"Bimbo, let me call you back please..." and she hung up ".... Kola Andrews what is the problem? what is it you want that makes you stand here like you are my body guard?" she asked in anger.
"Tope listen to me and listen good, I know that you are beginning to mislead our daughter again with your wrong counsels, because I have been watching you since you came out to continue your call with Bimbo and it is very clear to me that you are up to no good. Hear me very loud and clear, if you give that girl a wrong advice that would land her in trouble, I will exclude myself from whatever crisis that may occur." Mrs Andrews stood up and walked up to him, looking as if she was about to attack him and then she said
"Kola, I actually thought you were someone with good thinking abilities that was one of the reasons why I decided to marry you, but every single day, you give me a new reason to think that I made a huge mistake. You think you love our daughter more than I do and for that reason I am leading her astray by telling her what to do to get a better life? Look, Kola please ehnn you had better learn how to deal with these childish insecurities of yours before it begins to threaten the continuity of this marriage." And she pushed him aside and headed to the door leading into the mansion. Her husband followed her closely into the building
Mr Andrews was shocked at what his wife had just done, he looked at the place she had touched when she pushed him aside and shook his head.
"I made the mistake of marrying this woman, for how long will I have to suffer for my mistake? Why is she bent on frustrating my life with her evil persona? I'm afraid if things continue like this, I may be forced to file for a divorce before she kills me before my time." Mr Andrews thought.
His mother had refused to let him marry Tope when her parents had showed at their saying it was his responsibility to make her his wife after impregnating her; because according to his mother, she had perceived a negative aura from Tope each time she visited the Andrews' prior to the pregnancy but his father had insisted that they get married because according to him, if they had no intentions of getting married, they shouldn't have done what married people do. And because he highly respected his father at his young age of twenty five, he had gone ahead to marry the pregnant Tope much to the displeasure of his mother. And no sooner had they got wedded that Tope unleashed her inner demon to the point where even his family and friends find it hard to visit their home. Now years after both his parents had died, he was the one living with the consequences of being her husband.
