🍄Mrs Phil¡ps 🍄

“Honey”. I called my husband whose attention was on the newspaper in his hands. We have TV but still he loves Newspapers alot.

“Yes Dear”.

“Let’s talk about Tiwa’s marriage to Alex”.

He dropped the newspaper and removed his glasses then face me. “Okay… What is it? “.

“You know quite well the reason, I agreed on us sending Tiwa to study abroad is because of my son”.

“Yes… “.

I took a deep breathe. “But she’s not making a move like she’s gonna move in back to her matrimonial home anytime soon”.

“Maybe because she needs time”.

“You shouldn’t have gotten them an apartment in the first place”.

“Darling. You know quite well, they were not comfortable living with us especially Justin”.

“Then you should’ve just allow her go stay in her matrimonial home”.

“Honey. Justin might not like the idea”.

“You not even sure about that”.

“Stella honey, common. You just giving yourself headache over nothing”.

“Honey seriously, i don’t think things are right with them”.

“Okay, so what do you want me to do now? “.

“First of all, I want you to allow Alex start work again”.

“Are you tired of giving him money, already? “.

I know Phil¡ps is just trying to get on my nerves but am changed.

“Phil¡ps please”.

“He needs to work for it, he has to prove he’s worth it”.

“What do you want him to do? “.

“Get back to Tiwa and that’s the key”.

“That’s more of the reason I said we should look into their relationsh¡p “.

“What’s the second? “.

“I want you to invite them over, so we can know whats going on between the two”.

“Okay ma, as your lordsh¡p pleases”.

I smiled and went over to him then gave him a peck.

🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

I watch my son eating and I smiled. It so good to see him healthy again and it all thanks to Tiwa.

“Here, have some more”. I said and serve him more pasta. “Eat up, so you can talk to your father and before Tiwa comes”.

He look up from his food. “She’s coming? “.

“Yeah, we invited her over. I don’t think things are right between you two”.

“Mom”. He called softly with a sad face.

“What is it, son? “.

“Tiwa wants to divorce me”.

“What?!! “. My husband who was coming downstairs and I chorused at the same time.

“What do you mean, Alex? “. Phil¡ps asked.

“Yes father. She wants a divorce”. Alex said to Phil¡ps who has now gotten to us.

“Are you being serious here? “. Phil¡ps asked.

Alex nodded. “Yes Dad”.

The doorbell rang and soon Tiwa walked in looking very beautiful.

🍒Tiwalade 🍒

“You’re looking beautiful as ever, mom”. I said to Mrs Phil¡ps as i pecked her and kneeled to greet Mr Phil¡ps.

“Hi Alex”. I waved at him, giving him a small smile.

“Hello”. He replied softly. Everybody seem odd.

“Anything the problem? “. I asked looking from one person to the other.

Mrs Phil¡ps was about to talk when Mr Phil¡ps spoke up. “No daughter, let’s go to the sitting room”.

“Upstairs or here?”. I asked.

“The one here. Alex can you come over? “. His dad asked.

“Yeah”. Alex replied and we proceeded to the sitting room where we settled on separate seats.

Why do I feel like they’re hiding something from me?

“Tiwalade? “. Mr Phil¡ps called.

“Sir”. I answered as I tuck my braid behind my ear.

“Whats up with your marriage with Alex? “.

“Am getting a divorce, sir”. I replied.

Mrs Phil¡ps was shocked, her eyes grew wide. But I just have to be sincere.

“Why is it because of the past? “.

“Actually ma. It was a forcible wedlock right from the beginning. Alex doesn’t love me”.

“I do now and am sorry for everything sincerely, please”. Alex begged.

“You’re not Alex, you want to force yourself and….

“No Tiwa please”.

“Tiwalade, I understand how you feel and am a woman too.. But please, just let go of the past”. Mrs Phil¡ps said.

“I’ve forgotten the past and forgiven Alex along time ago. Just that it what I want. Marrying Alex was not my dad decision.

I want to make a decision for myself now. On my own”. I said and I heard Alex sniff.

I look at his direction and notice he was crying already.

Mr Phil¡ps cleared his throat. “Is that what you want? “.

“Yes sir”.

“Dad”. Alex called.

“I guess you were busy at work. You can go back now”. Mr Phil¡ps said.

“Thank you sir, Alright ma. Take care. Alex… I’ll take my leave now”. With that I stood up, carried my bag and proceeded to the door.

I heard Mrs Phil¡ps saying. “Why did you do that, Phil¡ps?”.

“I have a strong believe, she’ll come back. They’re met to be. Don’t worry”. Mr Phil¡ps replied.

Met to be indeed. I got out of the car and entered my car then zoom off to work.

I need to talk to Ella. Samuel no longer pick my calls and even on social media, it just hi and hello from him.

He doesn’t reply at times. It been a week now. I know it Justin’s doing and that why I have to pay him back now.

🍎Ella🍎

I stared at the envelope in my hands. I couldn’t help but smile. I’ve been feeling sick this days, so I went to the clinic for test and the result came out.

Am pregnant. I can’t wait to tell Justin tonight.

Justin is a very nice person and am glad to have him in my life. He made me believe in love again.

I’ve gone through alot in my past relationsh¡ps and that why I resent men alot

That was the reason I spoke rudely to Mr Alex.

But it different with Justin. He changed my life. At first, I saw him like a player but he proved me wrong. I love him so much.

The landline broke into my thought. I pick it up and place it on my ear.

☎ “Hello, Ella Leslie. EL”.

☎ “I need you to come to my office now”. I heard Mrs Laura say and she hung up.

I drop the envelope in my bag, adjusted my skirt and proceeded to her door. I knocked on it softly.

“Come in”.

I opened the door gently and entered. My sister inlaw was looking gorgeous as usual. I so much love her. I swear.

They’re all cute in their family. Justin had show me all the family members picture.

“Mrs Laura”. I called softly.

“Have your sit”. She gestured me to the two chairs in front of her desk and I settled in one.

“How you doing, Ella? “.

“Am fine ma”. I replied smiling.

“I see Justin has been taking care of you”. I blushed. “But do you think he loves you? “.

My jaw dropped. “Ma? “.

“Yeah. Do you think he loves you? “.

“Yes ma. He loves me”.

“Wow really? Because he spends money on you? Because he’s giving you attention? “. She smirked.

“There’s nothing a playboy won’t do to get into your skirt”.

I stared at her. I was already feeling uneasy. My heart was beating fast.

“Justin loves me, ma”

She took a deep breathe and smiled again. “You see, Ella. A playboy will do anything to convince you, just to get into your skirt or am I wrong? Tell me, he hasn’t slept with you…. “.

I felt my heart shatter. I felt like I was gonna pass out anytime soon.

Because my eyelids was becoming heavy and my head was hurting real bad.

“He has”. I muttered.

“You see”. She said and rest back in her chair.

“But why are you telling me, all this? “.

“Let say because I see you like a sister. I know Justin very well, Ella”.

Everything was going into circles already. I couldn’t feel my body again

“Miss Ella, are you okay? “.

“Yes yes ma. Can.. Can.. Can I return back to my post, please”. I manage to say.

“Sure, Ella”.

“Thank you, ma”. I don’t know how I got out of her office. All I know is am back in my post. I manage to sit.

Justin can’t hurt me, right? No… It not possible.. I mean……

Not after everything. The love, the.. No.. No… But Mrs Laura is his sister. I felt hot tears pour down my cheeks and I couldn’t
help it.

🍊 Justin🍊

I laughed at Alex joke. He’s so lively and fun to be with.I’ve come to love him and am glad he’s my brother inlaw. I can’t still believe we can be this close though.

“It so great, that you’ll start work on Monday. Mehn.. I’ve missed you so much”. Rotimi said.

“Yeah. I seriously can’t wait. It been five years plus. Mehn. Damn”. Alex said whist smiling.

“So hmm, Justin. I guess we have some unfinish business together”. Rotimi said facing me.

I arched an eyebrow. “Huh? “.

“I’ll be right back. Need to make use of the sitting room”. Rotimi said and left the sitting room.

Alex stood up and went to the bar in the sitting room. I watch him carry a cocktail wine and came back.

He opened it and filled each glass. This the second bottle of wine we’re taking.

I pick my phone from the table. It almost time for my date with Ella. I hope she’s prepared already. Cos ladies and their 16 hours in dressing up.

I dialed her number. First, second, third, fourth ring. No answer. May be she’s in the bathroom. I still have 30 minutes before going to her.

“Yeah am back”. Rotimi said and and settled back in the sofa. He pick his glass to his mouth, almost about to sip when he suddenly turn to Alex. “May you grow old”.

Alex stared at him. “This sudden prayer of yours”.

“Oh yeah. I learnt it from my wife. Anytime she wants to do something and I do it for her. She’ll be like.

‘Honey pie, may we grow old together”. Rotimi said grinning then he sip his wine.

I sipped my wine and then sent Ella a message.

📲”Don’t try to escape the date you’re going. We ready made the deal. I’ll take you out on the date and you’ll go get yourself test in the clinic tomorrow, so be fast. I love you”

“You and your wife”. Alex said before sipping from his glass.

“Oh yeah. It true. It me and my wife o. I can never trade her for anything. I mean anything at all”. Rotimi smiled.

Alex rolled his eyes. “So we should go and dive in the ocean because we don’t have someone who care about us right? “.

“Wait… Did I hear you say we? “.

“Yeah. Me and Justin”.

Rotimi laughed and I joined him too. “Please… Which of the Justins? Cos it can’t be the one dating my cousin sister”.

Alex face me and I couldn’t help but laugh. “But wait. Which of your cousin is that? “.

“Her Name is Ella Leslie.My Uncle who stays in United states in Cincinnati is her father.

They stay together there untill she relocated to this place and moreover she works with Tiwa”. Rotimi replied.

“Works with Tiwa? Do I know her? “.

I nodded. “Yeah, you should. She’s Tiwa’s secretary”.

“What? “. Alex shouted and drop his glass.

Rotimi and I exchange looks. “Anything the problem? “.

“Yeah. Rotimi, dont tell me that rude girl is your cousin”. Alex said.

“She’s not a rude girl”. I defended. Well I don’t joke with Ella. She’s my life.

“Of course she is, she really insulted me the day I went to see Tiwa”.

“Oh yeah. It has a reason”.

“A reason for being rude? “.

“Common Alex please. I said she has. Okay I apologize on her behalf”. I said then took a gulp from my glass.

Rotimi laughed out. Wait. Whats with this guy? Does he have a laughing issue?. “Alex thats the truth, it coming from the lover boy”.

We all chuckled. I glance at my wristwatch. 8:30PM.

“Alright. I have to go now. Am going somewhere”. I said then gulp everything in my glass, pick my phone and car key.

Just as I stood up, Someone cleared his throat and it turn out to be Rotimi.

Somewhere like my cousin’s place,right?”. He winked.

“Yeah you got it right”. I replied

“You love her, don’t you? “. Alex asked.

“Yeah I really do. She’s my life”.

“Stick to that please, she’s an only girl child of my uncle. My favorite cousin as a matter of fact. Else am gonna cut off your balls, if you dare ditch her”.

“O-o-o-ops”. I immediately held my balls.

” I can’t ditch Ella. She’s my life. Just like I said”.

🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃

I kept dialing Ella’s number in the car but she’s not picking. It so unlike of her. She can’t possibly still be in the bathroom, right?.

I sighted a flower shop ahead. I pulled up infront of the shop, got out of my car then went in to get her a fine bouquet.

I so much love giving my girl a flower. Maybe because I’ve lived in the states.

Though this our date tonight is a bribe to take her to the clinic cos she’s been sick this days. We already made the deal.

I got to her house, the gateman opened the gate, I gave him some money then drove in.Everyone in her compound knows me very well.

She lives in an apartment building with lots of people. Rich people though. The house rent is very expensive so only the rich can afford it.

I park my car, pick the flower, got out and shut the car door.

I bounce as I entered the building. She stays in the fourth floor. I entered the elevator, press the 4 button and soon I landed in the fourth floor.

I headed straight to her room. Room 5.The last one at the left end.

I got to her door and press the doorbell. No reply. I tried her number again. No answer.

I’ve given her like 20 calls already. Maybe she’s out but to where? I’ll just wait.

I click her password on the door since I knew it. It unlock and I opened the door. I proceeded to the sitting room and my mouth went agape.

Her office shoes, handbag, files and some other stuffs were all scattered. It so unlike her. The Ella I know is a very neat girl. Her room is always in apple pie.

I drop the bouquet on the glass table. “Ella”. I called but no response. I went to the kitchen, she wasn’t there.

I got to her room and it even worst than the living room. All the dress in her closet were laying on the floor. What’s going on?

“Ella? “.

The only place I haven’t check is the bathroom, so I headed there.

Getting close, I heard the shower running. Naughty girl. I chuckled. So she was bathing but why is her room upside down like this?.

I opened the bathroom door and my eyes grew wide.she was sitting under the shower crying and her clothes were still on.

She’s f×¢king w-t including her hair which was plaited in Twisting.

“Ella”.

I called as I rush to her, I was almost at her place when she suddenly brought out a knife and pointed it at me.

“Ella, what the hell are you doing? You’re sick and you know that”. I said softly and tried to get closer.

“Stop!!! “. She s¢ræmed startling me.

“Don’t you dare come close to me, else am gonna stab you or myself. One of us will die,i swear.

I was shocked. “Ella, whats wrong with you? Why the hell are you doing this? “.

“Shut the hell up and leave me Alone”. She s¢ræmed.

“Ella, you know quite well. I can never leave you. I love you”.

“No!!!! “. She s¢ræmed out loud. “You don’t love me, all you want is my body. You manwh0re! Beast!! “.

I was gobsmacked. “Ella. Why will you say such? I love you and you….. Ella. I dont want your body. It you, I love. Please”.

“I said shut up!!! “.

“Babe please. Let’s talk amicably. I beg of you. You’re getting something wrong here, I know. And thats why I need you to talk to me.Please, Ella”.

“Save your shits. Your game is up. I’ve heard everything. All you want is my body, you fool! “.

“Babe, why will you say that? And what do you mean, you heard everything? What did you heard? Tell me, please “.

“I don’t have anything to say to you, just get the hell outta my house”.

“I can never leave you Ella and you know that. You’re my Breathe.. My joy. My happiness. Ella….. “.

She burst into fresh tears. Maybe this the perfect time to go close. Just as I took a step.

She put the knife on her wrist. I stopped in my track immediately. My mouth was wide open.

“Ella, you’re hurting yourself”. I said cos blood was coming from her wrist already due to how she held the knife tightly.

She look down to her wrist then look up again. “This is nothing compare to how you broke my heart. Just stop the pretence.

Your sister has told me the flirt you are. All you want is my body and you’ve got it already”.

I was stunned. “My sister? “.

“Yes. So get the hell out or am gonna stab myself”. She s¢ræmed then move the knife down to her stomach making it face her tummy.

I gasped. “Ella please, i’ll leave. Please”. I said and turned.

“Dont come back into my house or my life”. I heard her s¢ræm after me.

I got out of her house and shut the door behind. I sat on the floor leaning my back on her door.

Wait.. What did Tiwa tell her? Tiwa can’t hurt me, right? No.. Not when am trying to help her. Just the thought of Ella crying and hurting in,side makes my heart shatter.

I buried my face in my palm. Crying hærd. The last time, I cried like this was when Joyce left me. I don’t wanna lose Ella.

I love her so much. I couldn’t stop crying, not minding the people passing.

My Ella….. My Everything. Ella!!!!!!!!!!!!
