Chapter 5 Darkest hour

chapter 5

I couldn't believe what I saw back there, it's obvious Ben is a monster, he had a girlfriend all these moments and has been making my life very miserable, let him keep praying because I'm going to make sure that relationship won't last long but first I need to find my husband and make sure he's fine after then Ben is going to watch me flex my woman poweress on him, he may think am vulnerable and cant do anything for now, it's good I didn't do anything stupid, I could have ended up spoiling everything and he will even smell am up to his sleeves.

The seventh day arrived as the police department promised to give me feedback regarding my husband case, I've been restless, panting up and down, the cop hasn't called me either, I decided to go to their department myself, I am worried about my husband, I got my car key and was about leaving, had a knock on my door, I rushed and open, " Thank God officers," you guys came at the right moment coz am about coming over myself, So I guess you've found my him ? I asked , could not wait any longer .

Ma'am, the thing is " I and my team, searched every part of the incident scene, cliff and even sent some special swimmers to go down the river bank to see if he must have been drowned but unfortunately, we couldn't see him, so there is 80% percent chances fish must have eaten his bodies before we arrived or he's drowned to other ocean which is relatively deep .I'm so sorry we couldn't help as I must've promised but we did our best, You have to accept that your husband is dead but we will assure to contact you of any new developments regarding his case They left leaving me in a chaotic state .

The news of husband's death is what I can't believe, tears have been far from me, I wanted to take my life also but I have so much to tell my son and I must get rid of Ben for putting me up this trouble moments. if am holding on to life it could be the cause of my son, he needs me now than ever, I have not been a good mother to him either. Despite the condition am into, I'm not expecting Ben to show me any form of affections towards the death of my husband, I walked him out when he visited me the next day , trying to show me affections after all he did to me and my husband, I don't even know where to hide my child coz probably I know he's coming to claim ownership of my son, which I will never allow to happen, rather I kill him and go to jail on his behalf but not him coming close to my child.

My child falls sick and I had to rush him to the hospital, The tragedy that befall has been eating me up lately, my blood thirst for vengeance, I can't help the trauma ,I engaged myself with hard drugs and alcoholic drinks to make me forget and move on with my life. it affected my son's health and I had to rush him to the hospital.He was detected Malnourished and Cold, the doctor was very mad at me while I could let my child be in this terrific stage at his tender age after so many years of childlessness. They won't understand what am passing through but am willing to take care of my son afterwards.

I was at the Reception ,two ladies walked up to me and asked if am( Mrs. Annabel baker) I nodded " We're from Human Rights Activists" we received a report about your inability to take care of your child due to your mental health of too much intake of Alcohol and Drugs, We're pleased to announce to you that that your child will be in our confinement until you get back to your mental state. The news seems like a shock to me, I told them to wait for me whilst I get my son's medication from the pharmacy let's go and see him.i walked as hastily as my legs could carry, unplug my son from The Rehabilitation drug they fixed him and break out through the window, I can't let them take away from me, "Am sorry my son I've to do this okay " kissed him and flee from the hospital premises .

I took my son and ran out of the city, I may get caught if I tried returning to the house, My life is a deep mess, losing my husband, and am here running away so they won't seize my son, I have to be strong now and ever for my son, " I promise you, my son, to give you the best education my strength could carry" I cried as I kissed him, I need to get you to a safer place and make sure you're out of danger. As for Ben, I'm going to come back for him sooner or later, he started this game of lust and selfish reasons, and I must finish it for him. We left the city that night, I had to sell my phone, expensive jewelry on me, and the necklace given to my son, so I could raise enough to start a new life, I can't believe the life am about living, So bad my husband didn't allow me to work whilst he's alive , I could've sort myself at this trying time, I blamed my husband and my selfish reason of becoming a mother, we could've adopted peacefully, all this couldn't have happened at the first place .

I was at bustop thinking miserably about what's going on with me, I don't even know anybody nor friends that could help me with accommodation, I cried sorrowfully, My dreams of getting old with the man I loved had slipped out of my hands like a sand, No husband to stand by me, No family to talk with, it's only me and my son, God please never turn your back against me ,forgive me of any sins I have committed..prayed silently and slept off.
