Heights of Deception episode 3

Heights Of Deception (episode 3)
There’s nothing hidden under the sun that won’t be revealed in due time. No matter how hærd a person tries to hide their bad character, it’s just a matter of time before it gets revealed. Motives can be concealed but would eventually show because it influences our actions. Dan felt he could hide his true colours from his wife but it’s apparent his time was up.
The protection(c-ndom) that was found by Kesha in Dan’s pockets were enough to send her 6ft below the ground. At that moment, there was nothing else in her mind than the thought of what a c-ndom was doing in her husband’s pocket. For all she knew, they didn’t use protections as married couple when making love, so how come about the c-ndom that was found?
At this junction, it’s safe to say that there was fire on the mountain because Kesha wasn’t about to let this one slide without a confrontation.
Few hours later, Dan arrived home from the gym and immediately entered the bathroom to take his shower. Kesha was in the kitchen when Dan came in and waited for him to freshen up before hell broke loose.
The tension in that house at that moment was enough to signal ‘Danger’. If there’s one thing Kesha knew in her guts, then it was the fact that the c-ndom she saw wasn’t a mistake just as she perceived the awkward text message she received before they got married. She knew that her husband intentionally purchased them to use; but the problem now was whom he used it on or wants to use it on. There were series on thoughts going back and forth in her mind as she prepared for the confrontation of a lifetime with her husband.
Finally, Dan was done taking his bath and was lying on top of the bed when Kesha walked in. “Babe, is breakfast ready?” he asked but Kesha ignored the questions and pressed on to the important matter at hand. “Who owns this?” she asked and lifted the c-ndom with the tip of her fingers.
Immediately Dan saw the c-ndom, his heart dropped but he sharply put himself back in order; so as not to look guilty of any offence. “Where did you find this?” he inquired, “I found it in your pocket” Kesha replied with a straight face. Just when the curious woman felt she would get a tangible reply from her husband, he played her like a fool and automatically put her in a position that made him look like the victim.
“Why did you search my pockets? Don’t we trust each other anymore in this marriage? The c-ndom belongs to a friend of mine. My friend asked me to buy them for him and hand it over when we meet this evening. I can’t believe you don’t trust me as your husband. So what are you thinking now? That I am unfaithful in this marriage? Is that it? Maybe you are the one cheating on me that’s why you feel suspicious of my every move. Please, I’m hungry and don’t have time for this kind of conversation” Dan angrily said.
When Dan was done talking, Kesha chuckled and shook her head in disbelief. The effrontery he had to tell a half-baked story and expect her to buy it, was enough joke of the century. For all we know, Kesha wasn’t about to buy such c*ck-and-bull story.
“You must think I am stupid to believe that your matured friend asked you to buy a piece of c-ndom for he or she. What happened to buying a packet if your story is genuine. The fact that it remains only one piece from the full packet, shows that it has been used. Also, I haven’t even revealed the hotel room payment slip I found in your pocket too. Who paid for the hotel and spent the night or stayed there? Is it your friend too? Listen, you better not cheat on me because it won’t be funny. Don’t take my calmness for weakness and certainly don’t take my love for granted. If I find out that you are cheating on this marriage which is barely a year old, I promise you nothing but the bitter side of me. Respect yourself and put your acts together; otherwise, this marriage will be hell for both of us. I rest my case!” Kesha furiously said and stormed out of the room.
The atmosphere instantly became more tensed due to the outbreak of emotions and fierce confrontation. Dan was taken by surprise as he never believed his wife was capable of being in such angry state. He laid back on the bed and began to query himself for being careless and not hiding or disposing the c-ndom well enough. As he laid back on the bed in thoughts, a call came to his phone and it was one of his mistress calling. He picked up and spoke in a quiet tone for about a minute before the call ended.
While Dan prepared to leave the house, Kesha was at the back of the house tending to the clothes she washed a while ago. Without informing his wife, Dan left the house unannounced. It was when Kesha heard the gate open that she realised that he was going out. She cared less and didn’t bother to go after him to ask of his whereabouts.
That day was a cold and sad one indeed for both couples. Their moods were ruined due to the incident that happen earlier. Kesha shed a few tears every now and then because she knew deep down that her husband was cheating on her. Despite the urge to live in denial, she had to accept the sad reality that her marriage was bleeding.
If only Kesha knew that Dan wasn’t in love with her as she thought, she might have lost it more than she was already doing. If only she knew that Dan was a Gold Digger who saw her as a means of livelihood and a shade from the harsh economy. If only she knew she was living with a two faced stranger. Poor Kesha!
All through that day, Dan was no where to be found. He didn’t come back home that day and also didn’t bother to call his wife to inform her that he wasn’t returing home for the day. Despite the fact that Kesha pretended as though she wasn’t hurt or concerned about her husband’s actions, it killed her within. After waiting till passed 10pm, she locked up the house and retired to sleep.
The next day being Sunday, Kesha left the house very early to church because her heart was heavy. She wanted to arrive before the rest of the congregation, so as to pour our her heart the way she wanted without having to deal with the thought of people looking at her. If was such an emotionally draining Sunday for the traumatised lady.
After service that day, Kesha returned home only to find out that Dan was home too. When she first saw him, she greeted him and went straight to the room without trying to strike any conversation with him. On the other hand, Dan wasn’t as remorseful as Kesha thought he would be. He felt bad quite alright but that was mainly because he was caught.
Few minutes after Kesha’s arrival, Dan went into the room to have a word with her. When he entered in,side, she was lying quietly on the bed. “Can we talk?” he gently asked but no response was forth coming from Kesha. He figured she was still pissed so he sat very close to her on the bed. “Babe, I am sorry for everything. I am not here to try and prove my innocence to you, but rather, I’m here to say ‘sorry’ so we move pass this” he calmly said.
With that being said, Kesha’s anger cooled off a little bit and she nodded ‘Yes’ to Dan’s apology. They k-ssed shortly afterwards and gave each other a warm hug.
Months passed and their marriage was peaceful, except the constant huge redrawals by Dan. As time went by, Kesha became immune to her husband’s excessive money redrawals from their joint account and just lived with it. Unknown to her, those money were used to woo women and arranged dates. Dan kept his movements every clean this time around and made it almost impossible for his wife to detect any thing that could trace to his womanising. Kesha remained in the dark every day and went about her daily activities without having a clue of what was happening right under her nose.
Unknown to Kesha, Dan was still stuck with her because of what he was getting from their union. Kesha’s dad was always ready to give Dan money whenever he asked for assistance in any business venture. Dan was reaping off that family till everything suddenly changed.
It turns out that the firm Kesha’s worked with were seriously in debt and needed to lay off some workers for the company’s survival. Unfortunately, she was one of the people that ran out of luck. She lost her job in that firm and began searching for jobs on other firms but no one was willing to employ her due to one reason or the other.
It’s been over a month since Kesha was laid off from work and the income at home began to diminish because no money was coming in. Dan wasn’t doing any tangible thing to help the situation on ground, and his love for his wife began to decline. Just when we felt the worst had happen, another bomb was detonated.
Few months after Kesha was laid off from work, her dad passed on due to natural causes. If wasn’t a good time for the devastated lady because her dad wanted to help her with a huge amount of money to go into business. Everything happened so fast and left Kesha extremely devastated. It wasn’t easy for her to lose her means of livelihood and her dad too at the same period of time. Life seemed unfair to her but it was about to get worst because the man that ought to be there for her as her husband was no where to be found.
During the burial arrangements, Dan wasn’t as supportive as he should have been to his wife. Regardless of the fact that he was involved in the burial arrangements, he didn’t support enough materially. The bill that was given to Kesha as her own contribution was sorted by her alone. Dan only helped with little expenses and that was it.
After the burial ceremony, things began to take an obvious turn. Dan stopped coming home at all during the weekends. He was absent most of the time and always had one story or the other to tell his wife whenever he returned.
As time went on, Dan stopped wearing his wedding ring. The ring was always found at careless corners of the house by Kesha and whenever she confronted her husband about it, he always had a good explanation to give.
One year passed and no cry of a baby in their union. At that point in their marriage, they were like strangers and barely spoke at length to each other. Just when we felt that things had gotten bad, it got worse.
It happened one fateful day that Kesha had an important job interview to attend. Her car was bad so she had no other option than to use Dan’s car. At that time, Dan travelled for a two days trip and was scheduled to be back the next day. She searched for his keys and drove his own car to the interview.
After the interview, Kesha wasn’t too convinced with her performance so it made her moody. She entered in,side the car with a sad countenance and was quiet for few minutes to put herself together. While reminiscing about her life, she saw a brown envelope under the passenger seat opposite the driver’s seat. Out of curiosity, she bent and picked the envelope to find out it’s contains. The envelope was sealed and slightly heavy but she still opened it.
The content of the envelope were two doc-ments and a certificate. Curious to find out what they were for, she carefully read through and almost collapsed when every tiny puzzle piece joined together in her head. It was an invitation letter from abroad inviting Dan to migrate. The letter was sent by one ‘Miss Sharon’.
Immediately everything dawned on Kesha, she held her chest in disbelief and scre-med “What!”.
