When the sun comes

EIGHTEEN

He groaned for the umpteenth time, he was sweating, he was crying, he gulped down the whisky, she hissed, her heels hitting the floor.

"You look so pathetic, right now, you know"

He looked up at her, wearing a blue Lacy exposing gown, and white heels, her face was drenched in makeup, she puffed out her cigar smoke.

"You act like a wimp most of the time, maybe it is because of your attitude that such a common girl could not even fall for you.

He looked back down at the table, the pictures were scattered around it, she sat on the arm of the chair and picked up one of the pictures, she hissed again.

"Just look at how she is, she is so dumb, she flung the picture away, while he scrambled to pick it up, he smiled sadly at the picture of the woman.

"Don't you ever call her dumb, bitch"

"You are a disgrace to all men and yourself, just a simple job I gave you, you went to emotionally tangle yourself, now just look at you, she was supposed to be the victim now it has backfired to you, I don't get why all of you are so crazy about that dumb village girl"

He growled, spinned her around and trapped her against the wall, she held until him struggling to breathe and to get his hand away from her throat.

"I said not to call her dumb" he growled against her ears,

She started coughing, once he let her go,

"Why, why did you do that?" She asked gasping for air.

"I love her so much, how could, she do this to me?" He cried,

"Are you asking, how she got pregnant for a man, she literally lives with, a man that is her husband" she spat the last word, while he whimpered,

"I must say, she was smart to get impregnated by him, because, I was planning to do the same thing, before, she came with her busy body and ruined my plans.

"She actually got pregnant for him" he said with unbelief

"Are you still asking? Aren't you seeing the evidence in all this goddamn pictures, she is not worthy enough to Carry my man's seed in her, she just isn't"

"Shut up, just shut up,

"I gave you a simple job, I paid you a large sum, get her into trouble with him, make him hate her, make her fall for you, get her the f***k away from my man and what did you do? You did the opposite or wait you didn't do anything at all, instead you got yourself into the business" she hissed,

" I tried"

"Look at how pathetic you sound right now" she yelled,

He stared at her,

"What have you even achieved b*"**, you went to embarrass yourself in front of him, cheating on him with multiple men, why do you actually want him back, is it to use that rotten used p****y of yours? He found another girl innocent and unused, and he made a place for himself and forgot about you in her love,

She gaped,

"I know I didn't do what I was paid for, I am also not happy that she is pregnant by him, but what can I do, they love each other, should I kill their beloved child, he smiled sadistically and walked away flinging the door,

"What is it with this weird man,he doesn't seem to have sense, I have to make plans, I won't just let them live happily, if Ikem is not mine then he is no one else.

*********.                 **********
He felt continuous tapping on his hand and his name being called, he jerked awake, he switched on the light, she was weeping, tapping him,

"Baby what's wrong, why are you crying"

"Ikem, my waist is paining me, i think the baby is about to come, she said,

He panicked,

"What? How do you know, can you walk, let's go" he replied walking around like a mad man,

"Let's go to the hospital, It's coming out"

"Coming! Oh my God, hospital, right? He picked her up as gently as he could, she was complaining of pains, soon they arrived, the nurses forbade him from going inside, so he waited, scared and running out of patience, what were they doing inside there? why wasn't anyone coming out? what was her situation? He tried to push away negative thoughts, she was in so much pain right now, he felt it was his fault, let nothing happen to her and his child, if he didn't know how to pray then today is the day he learnt to pray.

Someone touched his shoulder, it was his sister Jacinta, he hugged her,

"What is the situation now?" She asked once he stopped hugging her,

"I don't know no one is coming out, I pray she's okay"

"Don't worry everything will be fine okay, we just have to wait and pray now"

He nodded.

The chapter is short, sorry for that, I ran out of brain juice.
