In love with the housegirl

Episode 19

Jade’s POV.

I took a closer look at Anne. She was totally different. She looked more beautiful and elegant. 2 young men with black shades stood behind her. Coming into the room was a man probably in his late 50s…
“Dad meet the guy I told you about. His name is Jade…she said, turning at me.
“Jade, meet my dad” she said…
“Good day sir…” I greeted. I was a little embarrassed because I was on a hospital bed. I wished I could shake hands with him. He looked like a wealthy man.

“Good day young man. My daughter has said so many things about you. You don’t look like the stubborn type at all” Mr. Rufus said as he observed me more closely. He spoke in a humble and calm tune. It was rare to see a rich yet humble person in our generation.
“Not at all sir. Am not stubborn” I said as I squeezed out a smile from my bed.
“Again,nice to meet you, Jade. Thank you for being a good friend to my daughter. Anne, I’ll wait in the car outside” he said as he turned and left, accompanied by one of the 2 young men.
“Please, just excuse us, I’ll be okay” Anne told the young man who nodded and left the room, leaving Anne and I in the room

“Anne, who really are you?” I asked wondering
“Well, am the first daughter to Mr. Okafor Rufus, my junior brother is in Britain. My dad owns the largest textile industry in this region. My dad wanted to teach me how to be humble and how it felt to live small so he got me a house-help job. Not even Mr. John is aware of my real identity. I didn’t like the idea. I cried for weeks but his decision was final. It wasn’t easy but here I am…” Anne said as she smiled beautifully.
“Why did you accept to be a househelp? Of all jobs in the world was this the best he could come up with? I mean, it’s terrible. I understand how it feels…growing up in wealth and later going down as an ordinary househelp serving someone you’re originally richer than” I remarked.

“How did you manage to keep up at the inn” I asked
“Well, on the second day I called my dad and told him I was ready and I had learnt. He agreed and sent our driver to come pick me up. So from the second day I didn’t have much problem. My only worry was you. I passed around the house earlier and asked someone who narrated what had happened. So I rushed down here. If something had happened to you I would have taken my life and joined you.” She answered with teary eyes
I put up my hand and cleaned the tears from her eyes using my thumb…
“I love you” I told her…

“I love you too, my J-boy” she said and hugged me.
Shola entered the ward shortly and looked suprised.
“You’re the househelp, aren’t you.” Shola asked looking dazzled
“Well, yeah but not anymore. Anne replied.
“Am sorry for what you went through in that house. My sister has become something else” Shola apologised.
“I passed by the Secretariat and tried to advance the bills bills but the last said it’s been taken care of.
“Yeah I cleared them” Anne said as she blushed to Shola.
“Thanks Anne. What would I do without you” I asked in gratitude.
“Cut it” she said smiling

3 weeks on….

I grew stronger and I got discharged from the hospital. I met with Mr. Rufus(Anne’s dad) and explained things to him. We were ready to take the matter to court. We contacted a lawyer who asked me to bring any evidence I can have against Mrs. Ola. I remembered my phone…

“I do have an evidence. I can rush to my room and bring it” I said as I headed for my jobsite. I boarded a taxi. Midway through, our cab got intercepted and 3 men armed with cutlasses asked me to step down. They covered my face with a black cloth and took me to God-knows where. I was brought to my knees and the cloth was unrapped from my face. To my greatest suprise, it was Mrs. Ola looking more demonised than ever. She wore a black jeans trouser and a black shirt accompanied by a face-cap…I was startled. I felt like diving on her and strangling life from her but my hands were tied to my back…

In love with the housegirl

Episode 20- final episode

“You are the stubborn type, aren’t you, Jade? She asked with a slight smile on her face.
“Ola, I am tired of begging and respecting you and your husband. To hell with you people. You’re a monster, ola. You disgust me. If you think I will beg you now then you lie. Am never dancing to your tune. If I didn’t die earlier then I won’t die” I said, pouring out my heart.

“Hmm, what boldness. Talking to me in such manner when I got your life on my fingertips…I thought you died earlier. if you had corportated before we wouldn’t have any problems. You put yourself in this mess.” She said as her tone raised.
“Now I will make sure you don’t survive” she added….I spat on the floor thinking it was my last.
“Drop your weapons and put your hands in the air” masculine voices said as they infiltrated the environment. I could tell it was the police. The two men ran into the surrounding bushes leaving Mrs. Ola alone.

“You’re under arrest, Mrs. Ola Koluwale. You will have to follow us to the station for further investigation. Please put your hands on your back” the police commanded. One of them came and untied my hands and helped me to my feet. I breathe a huge sigh of relief.
“There’s something I need to finish up, sir. I will catch up with you guys at the police station” I said to the gentleman. He agreed and I continued my journey home. I arrived, entered my room and picked up the phone. I switched it on and it was perfect. My heart reliefed because the video was going to act like a solid evidence against Mrs. Ola. I arrived the police station. A Hummer Jeep arrived and a young man stepped out when I was about to enter the station.

“Good day sir, Mr. Rufus(Anne’s dad) sent me to pick you up” he said..
I was a little skeptical but Mrs. Ola was behind bars. I trusted and followed. He drove me to a large mansion. It was as big as a hotel. A classically built 3floor storey building. The front was made of glass. The outside was so beautiful and clean one could sleep on the bare ground. I stepped in,side and it was more beautiful. The chairs could cost a fortune.
“Welcome, Jade. Please sit” Mr. Rufus welcomed me. I sat down and admired the beauty of what I saw
“Thank you sir” I said.

“When you were about to leave for your evidence one of my boys installed a GPS tracker on you. The tracker can not only pin point your location but it can tell if you are in danger. It detected danger so I alerted the police with your location and here we are. I know it’s that criminal lady, Ola. I will make sure she faces justice.
“Am grateful sir. Thank you” I appreciated. A man stepped in almost immediately- I could tell he was the lawyer.
“We exchanged pleasantries and arranged on how it would go. A court session was org-nised 3 days after. Mrs. Ola was summoned together with her husband.
My heart boiled in anger as I stared at her before the session began.
“Ola, you have been charged for maltreatment, theft and attempted murder. Guilty?” The judge asked.

Mrs. Ola suddenly took everyone unawares and ran out of the court room. As she tried to cross the road, a taxi hit her and coolval stories broke her right leg. The security rushed and brought her back in and the judge ordered the session continued.
“Guilty or not guilty” he asked Ola who was now hancuffed.
“Am not guilty. Yes, he tried to rape me so I hit him” she said”.
“Shut up. It wasn’t rape. He entered Jade’s room and hit him” Shola testified against her sister without any remorse or regrets. “Again, you are accused of theft and maltreatment” the judge said as I played the video to the view of everyone. My proof finally got presented. Mr. John was disappointed and looked apologetic. He walked up to me and apologised.

“Thank you Jade, you have done me a great deal. I didn’t know I harboured a criminal in the name of a wife. Just name your price” he commanded
“No sir, it’s okay. I didn’t do it for payment. Your apology is enough,” I replied..
“Ola Koluwale you are sentenced to 10 years imprisonment with hærd labour for theft, attempted murder and maltreatment. You shall receive no medical attention for attempting to escape from a court session. You shall labour with the broken leg” the judge said and hit the table. We all dispersed.

I wanted to clarify things between Shola and myself.
“Shola, I want to thank you for the love you showed me from my day one in the house. You are one in a million. But my heart doesn’t belong to you. It belongs to Anne. I want to be honest. I said, trying not to hurt her feelings.
“It’s okay Jade. Am happy to have known you but your heart is somewhere else. I have just one request. Can I be Anne’s best girl on your eventual white wedding? She asked
“Oh, that will be granted” I replied and hugged her
“An invitation will be sent when it’s time” I added

Mr. Rufus gave me a part of their home where I lived together with Anne. One evening I bought a ring and I proposed to her and we did our church wedding courtesy of her father. On our wedding night I de-flowered Anne. She got pregnant and gave birth to twins, ,2 boys which we named Jessy and Carl. 3 years on, I was established in textile business introduced to me by Mr. Rufus. I decided to visit my mom in the village. Mr. Rufus decided to come along so he could see my people. I took my wife and my 2 sons and drove to the village in my new car. Mr. Rufus followed in his car accompanied by his guards. I met my mom, cleaning her hoe, chanting a sorrowful song. I had no idea how long she had been that way. She didn’t even notice when we drove in
“Mama” I called in excitement. She leapt for joy when she saw me. She rushed and dived on my body like her life depended on it. I introduced my family to my mom. Anne greeted with her warm smile…

“Welcome Nne. Thank you, oh? She said to Anne.
“Mom, this is mr. Rufus, Anne’s dad” I said and introduced mr. Rufus to her. Mr. Rufus greeted her warmly.
“Welcome my in-law. Laughter has returned to my family ooh, people come and see oh” she yelled in tears as she hugged me and my wife with my kids. Mr Rufus stood back and kept smiling…
