HIRED WIFE

” No! God forbid me to do so.. what if I was married with kids, would I possibly leave my husband and kids to go back to an ex?… I love Chiom so much and would gladly do anything for her happiness but that’s out of it.. I will just give him a chance to get to know his daughter, that’s all” Tessy said and I nodded in understanding

” That’s the same thing I told Sophie this morning… I want to be with you and no one else!” I said and Tessy looked at me

” Me too Ton.. and looking at you now makes me feel like kissing you!” Tessy said while I touched her lips and nodded

” Then do it Tess!” I gave the response and we kissed right there in the car, until someone gently knocked on the car window putting an abrupt end to our pleasurable moment.

We abruptly stopped the kiss and recomposed ourselves before Tessy winded down the glass window, since the knock actually came from her end.

The glass window winded down to reveal a young man, dark in complexion and considerately good looking.

Normally I wanted to ask him who he is and his reason for knocking at my window, but the look of familiarity on Tessy’s face gave me a glue of who the young man might be.

My mental assumption was right, it’s Ben who is Tessy’s ex-boyfriend and daughter’s father.

He stood outside the car, staring at us who is inside the car with a look of contempt.

Tessy stepped out afterwards to confront him and I followed suit although I stayed behind her, not wanting to intrude or get involved in their discussion.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

” Ben, what are you doing here?” Tessy asked as she stood in front of Ben, awaiting an answer from him

” I came to see you and my daughter, but I see that you are very busy with someone” Ben said emphasizing on the word ‘busy’ as he briefly turned to look at me in disdain, before returning his gaze to Tessy

” Yes I have been so busy.. as for Chiom, since you’ve forgotten, let me remind you that it is still school hours here in Nigeria, so she isn’t home but in school!” Tessy said and turned to me

“… Ton please lets go in, I need to change to something simple so we can go pick my Chiom up at her school and then move over to your place so I can see my Angel… since it’s almost evening I figured there’s no need waiting again!” Tessy said lovingly to me whilst walking pass Ben to her apartment.

I nodded in understanding but as I attempted to follow her, Ben swiftly stood in front of me automatically obstructing any further movement from me

” So it’s you who is confusing the mother of my daughter with this handsome face of yours huh?… well get this straight! Tessy and Chioma are mine and can’t be taken away so back off now that it is still early!” Ben resonated staring at me, and I scoffed at his arrogance added with his low sense of entitlement over someone.

” Ben or whatever your name is, Tessy is not a property to be taken away without choice… She is my woman by choice so you’re the one ought to back off!.. Moreso you left her first, so what’s the fuss about?” I asked staring back at him

” The fuss here is simple; I need my family back together, that family includes my daughter Chioma and her mother Tessy.. do you understand that now?” Ben asked me but I smiled before replying in low tunes

” Well I’m so sorry to disappoint you Mr Ben.. your family is taken already, Tessy is my girlfriend and Chiom is more of a daughter to me so if you are that pained by it, then you can go back to the states where you came from and let them be” I said and wanted walking out on him but his next words stopped me, it was at that exact moment Tessy came back to join us too

” Your girlfriend you say? did your girlfriend tell you that I’m her first boyfriend and the one who had deflowered her?” Ben asked sarcastically and I smiled mockingly at the child game he is playing at

” Sure she did and so?.. me as a man I was once a virgin, had a first girlfriend and got deflowered by someone too, so what’s there to be loud about?” I answered and watched as Tessy smiled at the reply I gave Ben

” Ben stop all this stunts of yours.. it doesn’t work on me anymore, I’m no more that Tessy of seven years ago you were used to manipulating so stop it!” Tessy said coming in between us to face Ben squarely

” Tessy I still love you and I want you back my love.. I’m back for us so lets leave the past in the past please!”

” In the past you say? did I beg you to come back.. Ben it’s been six years, what if I was married with kids by now?.. Stop this! I’m warning you for the last time to stop harassing my boyfriend, it’s him I love not you!” Tessy replied holding my hands tightly

I watched as Ben smirked before looking at me and then back at Tessy, before saying sarcastically

” It’s him you love yet you kissed me so passionately this morning and even told me how you missed me fucking you… did you tell your boyfriend all that happened between us this morning?”

Immediately Ben said that, I turned to look at Tessy for explanations but she pleaded with her eyes for me to calm down, and then turned to look at Ben

” shut up Ben! you are lying and we both know it, you had forcefully
