THE TRINITY
EPISODE 3
 
Michael was waiting at the reception. He was running up to her when he paused in shock as he saw a man beside her. He was not surprised that Sophie was with a different guy but this guy in question was his estranged elder brother.
 
Jason was unhappy also to see Michael. On Michael’s part, the feeling was mutual.
 
“What are you doing with my woman, shouldn’t you be with your wife? Michael asked Jason.
 
Sophie was surprised that that they knew each other. She was even more surprised at Michael’s reaction seeing that he had ignored her for almost two weeks.
 
“Do you guys know each other? “ she asked Michael
 
“Oh yes, very well my love, very, very well.” Michael said.
He actually called Sophie his love just to intimidate his brother.
 
Sophie however was more concerned about her sister and didn’t have time to dwell on the coincidence or the fact that Michael had mentioned something about Jason having a wife.
 
“Where is Nicky? What really happened to her?” Sophie asked Michael.
 
“Well, she came looking for you at the office. All of a sudden she started complaining of abdominal pains so I rushed her here.” Michael lied.
 
“She is being attended to right now, but she is in emergency.” he continued.
 
Sophie became more agitated upon hearing of her sister’s condition. It was quite unlike Nicky to come over to the office without first calling her up. That was quite uncharacteristic.
 
Sophie knew her sister very well. She also knew Michael and it was obvious to her that Michael was lying. She knew he was hiding something from her and she became determined that whatever that thing was, she would get to the root of it eventually.
 
Jason found Michael’s presence annoying. He didn’t feel comfortable around him. They had a history of bad blood between them.
 
Michael and Jason were brothers. Michael was the older sibling. Their parents had t—-t them into intensive sibling rivalry. Right from their childhood, they had always competed intensely against each other. Everything to them was a competition. One always wanted to be ahead of the other; either in school, at home or even in fun games.
 
Things got particularly intense back in high school after Jason met his first love.
 
Everything was perfect between Jason and his girlfriend until Michael showed up. He soon succeeded in getting Jason’s girlfriend’s attention by making Jason look like an uncaring boyfriend.
 
Not long after, Michael started dating this same girl and they disliked each other right from that time.
 
Life went well for Jason. He successfully completed his education, got a good job and eventually rose up the ranks to a top managerial position.
 
He never lacked anything and in no time, he found love and eventually got married.
 
Jason was however facing challenges at the homefront that was taking a toll on him. This was the position he was in when he had the fateful encounter with Sophie.
 
Having found that Sophie and Michael seemed to be in some sort of relationsh¡p, Jason called Sophie aside, gave her his contact details and left the hospital in a haste. He uncharacteristically didn’t even wait to find out the state of her sister.
 
Sophie had gotten to like Jason in the short period they had met. She felt comfortable around him and didn’t want him to leave. Not long after he left, she felt something was missing. For the first time, she didn’t like the idea of being left alone with Michael.
 
Michael had noticed some form of closeness between his brother and Sophie. He didn’t like this at all and was determined to tear apart whatever was forming between them.
 
As soon as he saw that Jason had left, he decided to take advantage of the moment. He felt he needed to do something, especially now he saw that there seemed to be something brewing between his brother and Sophie.
 
“Michael, who is Jason? How do you know him?” Sophie asked.
 
“Is that really important? He is just an irresponsible man who doesn’t take care of his wife.” Michael asked.
 
“Oh, he is married?” Sophie asked.
 
“…So he conveniently didn’t mention it to you? I see he wants to have his usual way with you as with his string of mistresses.” Michael said.
 
“Michael, he is married!” Sophie repeated.
 
” Yes, and not just married, he has a young son” Michael said.
 
“Oh, he is married?” Sophie asked.
 
“…So he conveniently didn’t mention it to you? I see he wants to have his usual way with you as with his string of mistresses.” Michael said.
 
“Michael, he is married!” Sophie repeated.
 
” Yes, and not just married, he has a young son” Michael said.
 
The Spell Weaver – Episode 6
 
Sophie was disappointed. She had thought something could have come out of her meeting with Jason. She decided not to call him back again. As it was, she had enough on her hands with Michael’s philandering.
 
Michael noticed the look on Sophie’s face and began taking advantage of it. He knew Sophie well, he knew her weak s₱0ts. He had always been an expert at manipulating her. He knew how to use her weaknesses to his advantage.
 
He came closer to her and said “Sophie, I have been waiting for a time like this to tell you how sorry I am regarding the matter with Nicky. I don’t know what came over me. It must have been the boredom, not having a job all this while, all the rejections I had faced. I promise you, I am a changed man now. Please forgive me and take me back. Let us be as we used to be.”
 
“Michael, for how long will you keep doing this? You completely ignored me and now you expect me to believe you? What about Amah. I know how easily you move from one lady to the other. What about her? I know you are dating her.” Sophie responded.
 
“Sophie, I may be guilty of many things but I am not dating Amah. I know what you have done for me what you have been through on my behalf. Let me make amends”. Michael dropped on his knees and went “Let’s work things out and get married ”
 
Marriage? Could he be serious? Never in the entirety of their relationsh¡p had he ever spoken of marriage to Sophie. Was he being real this time around? This move of his gave Sophie a different impression. She found herself believing him and was ready to give him a second chance.
 
It took Jason about 45 minutes to get home. He parked the car in the garage, handed his key and office things to the housekeeper and walked into the sitting room.
 
Immediately he came in, his wife jumped up from the chair, charged at him and began shouting.
 
“Where are you coming from at this time of the day? I called your office and was told you were not there. Where have you been?” Helena his wife shouted.
 
Jason didn’t answer her. He turned away and started climbing up the stairs to his bedroom. She pushed him aside rushed ahead and blocked the entrance to the room.
 
“Tell me where you have been before I allow you to enter into this room” She yelled at him.
 
“Look woman, don’t forget that this is my house” Jason said.
 
“It can belong to your dead father for all I care! You useless impossible man! If you think you’re gonna cheat on me and walk around freely, then you must be joking!” She said.
 
She was completely over-reacting. There had to be more to this matter than met the eye. It was however obvious that theirs was indeed a troubled marriage. Jason truly was an unhappy man.
 
At the moment, Jason looked very frustrated. He didn’t quite know what to do. He wasn’t a violent man and had never hit his wife before.
 
The combination of the day’s events with it’s c—-x being his wife’s theatrics were proving too much for him to handle. He glared at his wife as if to push her aside. However, he turned away and walked down the steps, out of the house.
 
That however didn’t stop Helena from shouting at him.
 
“Walk away as you always do. You coward. You are always afraid to face your problems. Walk away. I will be here waiting for you” she said and went back into the house as Jason drove away.
 
Back at the hospital, Michael was still on his knees, sweet-talking Sophie. Suddenly, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring.
 
“I have been waiting for this moment for days now and this ring has been on me everywhere I went. Sophie will you marry me?” Michael asked.
 
Sophie didn’t know what to say. She was caught by surprise. She was very delighted but had some apprehension. More like a sixth sense warning her that something wasn’t right.
 
She decided to push it aside and take the plunge. This was what she had waited for all these years.
 
As she was about to stretch forth her hand and open her mouth to agree, the door suddenly burst open and a doctor and nurse came in.
 
The interruption startled Sophie and Michael. Michael jumped to his feet and went towards the doctor.
 
“Hi Doctor any news?” Michael asked.
 
The doctor took one look at him and one look at Sophie, he took a deep breathe and said.
 
“I  am sorry, we tried all we could. The patient didn’t make it.”
