Chapter 3 Purpose

Celine remained at the door still shocked from what had just happened. She did not know the purpose of the man coming there to do what he had done. At first, she felt like the issue of being forced to kiss another man who was not her husband, a man she did not know and without her will angered her. She kicked her feet on the ground in anger and then she closed the door and went back inside.

“Who is that..?, Why did he come to introduce himself and then go ahead and kiss me..?, Why did he run away so quickly after that disgusting kiss and get into the car? There must be something going on here, someone must have sent him...Yeah, someone sent him or there is a game being played on me. If it is not my husband, then someone must be playing me” she said to herself as she took a sit on the sofa.

She certainly didn’t see the comfort of her house at that time. She felt lonely considering she was by herself in the whole house, she quickly got up and went near the table where there was a cable and plugged her phone into the charger.

The phone had been off since morning because of the electricity problem that had occurred last night and the repair had just been done a few minutes before the strange man knocked on her door. So she used that opportunity to charge her phone.

“At last it's full, ” she said then turned on her phone and threw it on the sofa, she then went to her bedroom.

When she came back and picked up the phone, she found that there were twenty-two missed calls from her husband and they had come in not long ago.

“My husband must be mad at me,” she said with a smile when the phone rang again for the twenty-third time.

“ Hello baby, I’m so sorry. I left the phone on the couch and went to the..” said Celine in a gentle voice but Nicholas interrupted her.

“Aanh..!! You think I am a barbarian, a fool, whatever you say I'll agree....?” Nicholas asked in an excited voice.

“My husband..!! You know there was no electricity since last night, what did you want me to do my love..?” Celine answered her husband with the utmost humility.

“I know..!! What I don’t know is why you want to kill me with diseases. Celine, I am asking you” Nicholas stopped her while prompting Celine to answer.

“Yes baby, ask..” Celine answered.

“What have I done wrong to you or what have you lacked from me? How can you really humiliate me like this..?”

“My hubby..!! What do you mean when you say that..?” Celine asked now that she had started getting confused and her head connected with the incident that happened shortly at the door.

“Aanh ok..!! I have sent you something on your phone. Please open it and then tell me who you are holding hands with and the others you are bringing home..?” Nicholas said then hung up the phone. Celine continued talking without knowing that Nicholas had hung up the phone.

“ Did he just hang up on me?..” she said while taking the phone From her ear and turning on the data.

The messages started coming in chaotically and she didn’t know which one she was answering, but there were two different numbers at the top, one was her husband’s which had ten messages and the second was a foreign number which had six messages.

She quickly rushed to open her husband’s messages first. She started to see the pictures that her husband had sent. She started to download and suddenly a video came in which was only twenty MB followed by a forwarded message.

“ I just finished fucking your lovely wife right now ..! Yes, she is saying goodbye to me here. But she isn't that great in bed anyway, I don’t know why you are clinging to her” She read the message first, and her heart raced. She tapped twice on the part where there was a video, and then the video opened.

She couldn’t believe her eyes. It was her with a young man who introduced himself as Joshua and she hugging him and acting like they were kissing each other.

“Jesus Christ..!! Jesus, Jesus, what is this, Lord..!” Celine said out loud as she hurried back and started looking at the pictures that were sent to her as well.

“What!! These are not my underwear, this isn't me. How come I am with a man” she said out loud while looking at the pictures.

Her eyes were red like a person who had pepper in her eyes, slowly tears began to roll down her face and fall to the ground. Celine could not tolerate the situation she was going through, she could not even open the messages that were sent from the foreign numbers.

Tears fell on the glass of her phone as she tried to wipe it but suddenly her phone rang again. The person who was calling was none other than Nicholas.

“Celine, my wife.. let me ask you, what have I done wrong towards you that you are changing men like this..? That is why you like staying at home so you can have time to see your..?” Nicholas asked three questions at once.

“Nicholas ..!! I think that my marriage is in trouble, some people are trying to destroy my marriage..! I didn't do it..” Celine interrupted him and said while crying. Then she stopped and wiped tears from her eyes and continued.

“This video is me..?” Before she could even finish her sentence Nicholas interrupted.

“No, you have humiliated me a lot. I regret not marrying Beatrice, why did I marry you..? I really regret my soul” Nicholas said that and then hung up the phone.

Celine kept crying even when she tried to call, Nicholas's phone number was unavailable. She became more and more confused as to what was going on in her marriage, who caused all these problems? She did not have a clue.

××× . *******. ********

Beatrice was just arriving at her home. She arrived and parked the car in the yard and then went inside, but before she could even sit straight, there was a knock on the door.

“Who is it..?” Beatrice asked.

“It’s me Nana..?” Answered a woman who was outside and introduced herself as Nana.

“Ahh, okay” said Beatrice and then she went to open it, but before anything, Nana started talking.

“My friend..! You know very well that I look like Celine, although not by much, but I did your job of taking pictures with that man. You promised to give me my money, how many days has it been now?” Nana spoke with a sigh.

“My dear, I’ll give you your money” Beatrice answered in a gentle voice.

“Huh..! Are you making a fool of me? You are playing with me. I have Nicholas’s number, remember I have all the conversations we had. If you try to cheat me out of my money, I am going to send them over to him. When will you give me my money..?” Nana asked while shaking her chest.

“Tomorrow evening I will bring you the money” answered Beatrice.

“Okay, okay, make sure you pay the money for the make-up and cosmetics,” said Nana and then she picked herself up and left.

Back Beatrice thought about what should she do considering she had no money.

“what is the solution with this one? A hog is a hog, I don’t have money and I’m not paying. Let me call Joshua so that he can deal with this one.”
