Chapter 4 Bad Times

I set off to meet up with Ben in his house, I was praying and asking God to be my side, I don't know whom to confide in at this tormenting time, still thinking when the taxi driver halted in front of his house. I alight down and headed straight to his apartment.

"Hello my darling" I knew you will accept my proposal, you're a wise lady . He said and taps me playfully. "Ben, what do you want from me "? I asked. Nothing sweetheart I am horny and I guess you're also , Let's have a quicky so you go back and take care of our son ,He replied smiling. I can't believe I'm about to cheat on my husband once more, just to pleased demonic Ben, I laid down to the bed gently and remove my clothes, '" That's my girl ", Licks tongues as he bounces on me, Thrusting in so hard this time and giving me ahead, We're in the scene of the sex when my husband badge in and caught us naked ...

Annabel? He shouted, Omg? He left Angrily, I was ashamed of myself, couldn't look up, I slapped Ben . "This is all your fault, guess you would rest with your obsessed sexual odds towards me" , I cried shamefully and left .

I got home and found my son sleeping, I searched for my husband and couldn't see him, I texted him, no reply, call him it's diverting to voice mail, I kept crying sorrowfully, this shouldn't have happened, he must be going through some rough moments now. I decided to let him be till he comes back let's iron it together and maybe tell him what happened. couldn't Sleep All through the night, was thinking about my husband, he dont deserve this from me, I keep trying to reach him, it's still impossible, and am getting tensed up, my husband is not an alcoholic person and he has no friends except Ben, I keep wondering where he must've been to this late at night.

What Happened was still like a movie, I never believed it would go be this bad, My phone Rangs it's Ben again, I cut it but it keeps ringing, decided to pick '' Hello my beautiful darling, your husband didn't allow us to enjoy this beautiful moment again but my bad I could've locked the door, anyway how about Tomorrow? I couldn't allow him to say anymore I hanged off and cried sorrowfully, I'm regretting everything now. Not long, my phone rings again, this time an unknown number, I wouldn't hesitate to pick it

" Hello! Hello! Network scramble, It hangs off and callbacks again, Hello! Ma'am, Are you Annabel Baker? Yes, I am, who is this I asked so harshly. " Well, this is city police station, you're asked to come to the station as soon as possible for some clarification, thanks for your understanding, and hangs off. Maybe my husband has reported me to the station, I said and went in to prepare.

I prepared so rashly, I wasn't afraid if I will get behind bars , I knew my husband is going to understand perfectly, it may equally take time but he should at least give me listening ears and be on my side, after all, I didn't leave him when he had challenges also, I looked so rough and my eyes are swollen already. I reached there and was invited to the Detention office, the female office saw me and hugged me " it's going to be fine ma'am " She said and went off, the whole drama was not getting clear to me but I know I will face everything. Not long the senior officer came in, carrying an envelope " Sorry for calling you up, we just have few questions for you, so you could go back and take care of your child. He dropped the envelope and signaled me to check-in, I saw my husband's watch and his phone.

Officer! Mmmmm I stammered I .... don't understand, this belongs to my husband, so where's him? I asked looking worried. Sorry to say this but your husband engaged in a fatal accident with a tanker of diesel who failed brake, unfortunately, the car somersaulted, When I and my team arrived at the scene, we found the car but ... He paused to adjust his belt, But couldn't find him. Huh ! what? I can't believe this, burst in tears , I couldn't control myself. So what happened to my husband, Just tell me? , well there is an ocean beside the cliff he somersaulted, there is either possibility he fell inside the ocean but my team is working relentlessly to get a better result soon but one thing again, I must be truthful his chances of being alive is very slim and after 7 days if we couldn't find him, we will confirm his dead but let's keep praying to God Almighty, please accept my heartfelt apologies to your family, The police officer said and left me in pool of tears .

I left the police station with mixed feelings, I hated myself for putting my husband in this trauma, I needed him to survive he needs to hear the truth at least forgive me, I won't forgive myself if anything bad happens to him, my child needs a fatherly love and I'm not sure I can raise him on my own, keeps crying and lamenting all day long, burning candles and hoping for positive news sooner before the seven days of searching for him will Elapse.Every day I blamed myself for not letting my husband knew what's going on between me and that monster, I want to change hands of time and I believe my husband is going to listen to me once he's back, I looked at my son and cried heavily, I shouldn't have allowed ben used me the way he did, oh my bad! I laments .

I can't allow Ben after making me go through pains , take a breath of fresh air,Never ! I want him out of this space for good, as long he's living he will keep hunting me, and am not going to let him get to my son either or my peace, I must end this madness once for good .I rose and headed to this house .I arrived at his place and meet him, I saw him and started crying so he could hug me as usual, but he didn't, he just stands few miles away from me and was acting wired, "Honey where are you" , a woman voice beckons from the bedroom, " yea Darling am here, this is my best friend wife the one I told you that had Accident last week " He said and wink at me, Oh my gosh ! I can't proceed with my plan, he has someone all this while and keeps pestering me and my husband, I will make you pay so bad and will make you feel the hit of discomfort, i said in my mind and left disappointed.
