Episode 16
I was surprised Isaac still called me after the fight he and derick had. We spoke and we met, he asked me of derick and I told him what happened, he advised me to move on and face my life!
Well it’s not as easy as you think! I said to him.
I know. But you have to try, a man who loves you will listen to you no matter how wrong you are or what you do!! He didn’t give you the time to explain so there’s no point hoping he’ll come back, well I know you still love him and it’s not easy but you have to focus on yourself and let the right man find you!! Have you spoken with maxwell and Kate??
No, I haven’t!!!
You should try to talk to them!! He said.
It has actually not cross my mind to talk to Kate or Doris cause I felt it wasn’t necessary but since Isaac said I should talk to them I decided to talk to them,
Days later I called Kate but she wasn’t picking up, I went to her house and saw Doris, both of them were having fun.. they were not shocked to see me, before I got to the apartment I put my phone on record to get all the evidence I need.
We’ve been expecting you Annie! Doris said laughing!!
Why? Why did you ladies do it?? I asked with confidence.
You think you can just get a job in dericks company and be his wife within weeks??? Do you know how long it took derick to ask me out? Doris said
Yours is even better, you tasted derick , but me’ he just married me like I was a statue, not for once did he touch me or even look at me, I was n@ked yet he never got moved by my body, you think you’re better than me? I know I cheated but it was dericks fault, I was jealous when I heard he was getting married to you! I had to be cool with you Annie.
So it was all your plan? To make derick hate me cause of your jealousy?? You took me to the hospital for another purpose, you are ev!l
I am not ev!l, I did it to punish you and derick!!
Both of them started abusing me, laughing at me and calling me names, I just ignored them cause there was nothing else to say to them!!
I visited max too, he said I left him for derick, but it wasn’t true, I left him because he was using me as a punch bag and I got tired of his abuse, he also told me that it was Kate that contacted him to break me and derick, he said he accepted the offer because he wanted me again to himself,
Everything never made sense to me because I was wondering why they choose to do it,
I took a walk home, told my mother, I decided to just move on without sending the record to derick, I know I miss him but his mind has been made up and there’s nothing I can do..
I stopped calling him and I was living my life, Isaac was there for me, at a point I was forgetting about derick, I successfully secured a job and I got busy. Everything changed and I got a lil peace..
It was me and Isaac after work.
One fateful Friday I and Isaac decided to go out to eat lunch, we got to the restaurant, walked in holding hands when I saw derick and his friend Wilson taking a drink.
Our eyes met , I looked away, Isaac saw him and decided to k!ss me on my cheek, I smiled, we got our food and drinks’ derick was boiling, he kept staring and Isaac kept adding to his anger, I knew he was doing it on purpose!!
He couldn’t bear it so he came to us.
You think you can make me jealous with your boyfriend? He said.
Are you jealous? Isaac asked.
No, she’s my ex wife now, you can have her!! Let’s go Wilson, derick said as he walked out.
I just laughed and enjoyed my meal till we got tired..
POV
I saw Annie today with that same guy I had a fight with!! She was smiling dad! Annie is happy.
Why are you bothered? His father asked.
Bothered? I am not bothered dad, I am just wondering how she moved on so fast, it isn’t up to a month and she’s getting fat.
Maybe you’re the worm 🐛 eating her up! Tell me derick , is she beautiful now? You miss her?
No, I don’t! She’s trying to upset me, making me think she’s happy’ I know Annie is not happy!
Derick, call your wife or go ahead with the divorce!!
I’m not calling her till the papers are ready!
Then stop disturbing me about Annie derick! Move on.
Do you think she still love me?
No, she don’t! She’s already with another man! Derick please go back home
It’s boring at home , I’ll just pass the night here!!
Episode 17
There are times I miss derick, his troubles and his smile but I have nothing to do, I hope he finds out the truth himself cause I wasn’t really ready to tell him anything! Sometimes I wish his mother never forced him to give me the job. He was also forced to marry me and this time I am not going to do what they want me to do no matter what happens.
At the other hand Isaac doesn’t let me rest, his frequent calls troubles me a lot and also gives me happiness , it was difficult to trust anybody but I trust Isaac ‘ he’s someone I’ve known for a very long time and I hope he maintains the friendship.
I got a call from derick, he told me to come I’ve so we could talk about what happened, I got there but he was making things worse for me,
You wanted to talk to me about everything!! I asked.
Yeah, you know , I want explanation of what happened and why you choose kate over me.
Derick, Do you believe me? Do you believe everything I said about Kate and what Happened?
No, I don’t believe you, he responded standing up.
Then there’s no need explaining to you derick,
I know that’s what you’re gonna say cause you’ve moved on with that guy I fought with, you’re a cheat Annie, you don’t even hide it
Why did you call me to come here? I asked.
Cause I want to know the truth!
What truth?? About kate? Or the implant? Or about maxwell?
Yeah, but I want to know about that guy first.
You’re not serious derick! You’re not serious, you know what! I don’t care about you anymore, I don’t even care about the divorce, you’re just a proud and arrogant man,and I can’t even continue with you, I explained everything to you, my mother came and say same thing but you were bent on divorcing me, and the only reason you called me was because you saw me with a man!!
We’re not yet divorced yet you’ve gotten another boyfriend!!, can’t you just wait for us to separate before going into another relationship!
Same thing you did on the eve of our wedding!! Derick tell me, do you still want me??? Just tell me let’s talk this over
No! I don’t want you anymore Annie!! You betrayed me and you broke my heart!!
I didn’t know when I started crying!
You just said you don’t want me, after everything I’ve been through with you? The tolerance, the patience ?? Well it’s fine derick, I’ll be waiting for the papers..
I left his house and went back home.
Phone ringing!!!
Hello, Isaac.
Annie, are you crying? What’s wrong?? Where are you?
I’m home, please come over? I pleaded.
Isaac came and he took me to his house, I couldn’t say anything , he allowed me cry out my frustration to sleep, I woke up and it was late already, I don’t sleep over ‘ though Isaac persuaded me to sleep over but I didn’t , I went home and when I thought of what derick told me I decided to really and fully move on without him!! I becone so close to Isaac that he began acting like my boyfriend, my mother told me to send the record to derick but I still kick against it because he and his family will feel like I want to be part of the family and derick will be happy that I love him more.
I fell sick and was having serious cramps that won’t go away, i thought it was my normal period till I went to the hospital and it was confirmed that I am pregnant and two months gone!!!
I asked how because I was having an implant for many months, I remembered I was ovulating when I and derick had s*x before we had our argument the next day and the implant was removed , but how? Ovulation is just 24hours!! I said to the doctor.
He explained how everything worked!! He was right but it was not in my agenda to keep the baby,I can’t even tell derick about it, what came to my mind was to terminate it as soon as possible.., I know I wanted a baby but not anymore,!!
I told my mother, she adviced me to keep it and also tell derick, I told her I wasn’t going to tell derick, a man who pride had eaten up ? I can’t!!!
I spoke with Isaac, he came and I told him abou tv the pregnancy, he promised to be the father of my baby, I declined but he said the word, he said he love me and he doesn’t care if I am caring dericks child! It was shocking to hear him say that!!
I can’t date you! I said to him.
Disappointed as he is, he said he can wait But I told him not to cause I am still legally married to derick so there’s no way I can be in a relationship till I am officially y divorced and after all i am not jumping into a relationship anymore! He pleaded but it was a NO for me!!
Derick kept seeing me and Isaac together, when we eventually meet, we’ll ignore ourselves and go our separate ways, most times Isaac will intentionally make me laugh to make derick angry!!
Isaac asked me to be his girlfriend , I couldn’t t give him any answer.
POV
Dad, mum! I miss Annie!! Derick said.
Why!? She deceived all of us.
I am jealous mum, I keep seeing her with same man, she’s glowing, getting fat and she’s Happy, I don’t have any happiness since she left, I thought she was gonna stay with me when I invited her over, I couldn’t apologize cause I was scared but she thought I was proud to take her back, I need my wife back , Annie is saying the truth.
Have you find out if she’s lying? His dad asked.
No, but I know Kate and Doris, they came ti my office one time , I wonder why I forgot about it!!
Go get your wife Derick!!! His fatge said.
The papers are ready and I’ve already called Annie to come over tomorrow to sign it.. his mother said.
You should have informed me mum!! I love Annie!!
I’m sorry derick!!
I even heard she’s pregnant!!! His dad said.
Pregnant??? How???
Derick, you’re my my son and I know where Annie went, her fat is due to her pregnancy, I contacted the doctor she visited and she’s 2months gone for you!!
She didn’t tell me!!!
Ring ring!!
It’s Annie!!
Hello!!!
Derick, I got a call, I am ready to sign the papers!!
Annie, can we talk??
No! I just want to sign the papers please!!
What about our baby??
Wat baby?? Derick I want to divorce you!! I am no longer interested in you!! hangs up
Dad she hanged up!!
You no longer want the divorce?? I thought you don’t want Annie!! His father said walking to his room.
Dad wait!! What should I do???
I can’t tell you what to do derick, after I didn’t tell you where to find Annie’s hole when you got her pregnant.
Dad, that’s not necessary.
Then stop asking me stupid questions, by the way!! Your will has been written, I wasn’t sick derick, I wanted a grandchild from you and I’ve gotten it, you were blinded by what you saw, you couldn’t ask and you are not ready to know the truth!!
Wait! You’re not sick? Then why did you.
I’ll explain later… but just know that the will has been written even before you married kate!!
What!!
Why did you marry Annie?? His father asked
Episode 18
Why did you marry Annie?
What sort of question is that? You know the reason why he married Annie, he married her cause of the will and the pressure we put on him!! His mother said.
I didn’t marry Annie cause of the will!! Derick said.
Then why did you marry Annie??
I married her because I love her, you didn’t expect me to marry Annie cause of any will, the will was never my problem, I try to hide my feelings, when I saw her with Isaac I got m@d and I am still mad seeing her with same guy.. honestly mum, I love Annie from the first day I saw her, I made that vow on our wedding day from my heart,
You were fighting your feelings?
Yes because I was scared, I was scared of loving someone else due to what everything that happened!!
Derick, call Annie again.. tell her the papers are ready!!
No, not now!! I’ll just do what I am supposed to do ..
So Annie got pregnant after removing the implant? We made out the night before everything happened, it must have been that she took within that period, she apologized to me but I turned deaf ears to her..
What if the baby is not yours?
She’s not a cheat!! I know Annie, I’ll come back later to know why you and dad lied to me about his illness
Thy were still talking when my mother sent the voice record to derick, he played it and heard everything Doris and Kate said without my consent, they were shocked.
You don’t just jump into conclusions like that derick, you never gave Annie time to defend herself, instead you opted for a divorce..
Derick left to meet Kate, Surprisingly Doris was with her..
Derick sat down, they knew it was about me so they started talking without being asked questions.
I know it’s about Annie, we did what we did because of you derick, you abandoned us.
Abandoned us, us how? Doris we broke up, and I married Kate after we broke up, that’s not why I am here!
Derick, I was jealous of Annie,
Jealous of Annie? What did she do to you? You set her up for me to break up with her? Why Kate?
You don’t have to blame me derick, you married me and never for once did I feel loved by you, and when you married Annie you started controlling her movements, getting angry over every little thing that she do., how was I suposed to react?
I don’t even know what to say to you kate, I warned Annie but she didn’t listen to me!! You’re ev!l , you took her to a doctor to make her not get pregnant for me! You conspired with max too, all because of me?
Yes, I love you derick and I still do,
It’s funny, you and Doris love me? Have you forgotten what you did ? You stayed cause you wanted the properties and you’ve been cheating even before I caught you, why drag Annie into our issues?? And you Doris, what is your problem? After sending that video to Annie you still went ahead to do this?? Making Annie feel like she am barren and she’s not good enough for me?
Derick, we did what we did and we’re not sorry, I’m glad she left..
I have nothing to say, but one thing is true, I don’t love you Doris and I don’t love Kate!! Deal with it!
Are you going to arrest us?
No, I’m not!! I don’t like stress!! Just stay away from me and my wife!! Derick left
I was home when I heard a knock on my door!! I opened and it was dericks mother!
Annie, I came to talk to you! She said.
Go ahead!
Are you really pregnant? Well, I don’t need to ask, you look pregnant
What do you want? I asked.
How’s our baby? She asked.
Please ma’am what do you want??
We got the record your mother sent to derick, I am here to apologize on his behalf, please Annie’ we were angry, I was angry I never knew it was a lie.
I am not pregnant, stop asking me about any pregnancy.. you also persuaded derick to chase me out.. I am not going back to derick or becoming your daughter in-law again, after all my marriage with your son is your doing, with all due respect ma’am I’d love to be alone for now! Please leave, I am not ready to say anything till I see the papers.
Without saying another word she left,
My mother came back and we started arguing, I was asking her why she sent the record to derick, she said she did it to prove my innocence, I wasn’t happy about it, still arguing with her when derick walked in!!
Is this a plan? Your mother just left derick!
I never knew she came, I just want to talk to you Annie please listen to me!!
You’re here cause you find out about the record?
No, I wanted to come Before I received it, I am sorry!
Sorry? For what?
For everything, I couldn’t handle it when everything happened, I should have believed you or even give you time to talk but I didn’t because I let my emotions weigh me down.
You left my daughter for two months derick, a pregnant woman!
I am not pregnant mum, stop it!! I said and went to the bathroom to throw up 🤮..
You just said you’re not pregnant and you’re throwing up, can we go home and talk? We’re having a baby soon and I want you to come back
What do you take me for? Your toy? You think you can just come here and tell me what to do. ??? Fine, I am pregnant and it is none of your concern, my child doesn’t need you ! You left for two months hoping I’d come and beg you? How did I even give myself to you in the first place??
I didn’t leave, I just don’t know how to talk to you, or being you close, I was scared Annie, you know me already, it took me months to admit my feelings for you. And I called you but never for once did you pick my call.
There was no reason to take your calls, You never loved me, the next time I’ll see you please come along with the papers, I already have some one and it’s Isaac! I’ve moved on and he’s going to be the father of my baby, bring the papers let me sign and be free from you!!
I can’t let another man father my baby, how can you say such a thing? I want us to trash this issues.
Derick, please leave my house, I dropped your ring, I am not interested in a man that’s too proud and find it difficult to admit his mistakes.
I miss you every day Annie, I am too shy to come to you! You know How jealous I am, how crazy I can be for you! I am not proud.
You’re not ready for this derickk!!! The door is open!!
You’re still legally married to me, and I am not signing any papers, you’re my wife by choice and not by mistake !! I love you! I am sorry!
Knock knock!!
It’s Isaac Annie! My mum said.
What are you doing here Isaac? Derick asked.
I am here to see Annie,
You keep hanging around someone’s wife, why? You can’t be here to see Annie,
She’s no longer your wife derick, you pushed her out and she has moved on.
She’s pregnant for me, do you think it will be easy for her to leave? Just stay away from my wife Isaac! You’re committing sin!!
I know she’s pregnant and I am ready to do anything for her baby!
Isaac, please allow me talk to my wife, just give us some privacy.
I looked at derick and noticed he wants to go crazy again.
Derick don’t do it, just leave please! I pushed him outside!! He angrily drove off.
You didn’t tell me derick came,
I never knew he was coming, I’m sorry.
Do you still love him?
What?
Answer Annie, do you still lov him? Don’t use the pregnancy as an excuse, just tell me the truth
Isaac, I am still married to derick and I am 2months + pregnant for him!
Still using your pregnancy as an excuse to go back to him? What do you see in derick? He’s proud and arrogant, he doesn’t regard you!!
I think I want to be alone Isaac, .
Isaac left, my mom asked if I still want to go back to derick, I told her no!! Derick came back again to apologise but I didn’t give him any listening ear!!
Days later his father called me told me the papers are ready!!!
I went there and they apologized to me, he told me he has given derick everything even before he married Kate, I don’t bother to ask why he lied, and why I was compel to marry him cause if the properties!! He asked me if I really want to divorce derick! My mind was made up, derick hurt me and I don’t think I want him anymore!!
I can’t let you be a single mother!! Derick said.
They brought the papers, the lawyer was present , derick refused to sign the papers, I held it and wanted to sign when he knelt down , his eyes were red and I could see , I knew he was holding his tears back in acting like the man he is!!
Please, don’t do it!! He said!!
I can no longer be your wife!!! Forget about the baby, my father already secured my future before he left! I can take care of myself!!
I love you and I am sorry, I am saying it in front of everyone, Annie please, don’t let me d!e , don’t sign !
But it’s our agreement, you get your property and we go our separate ways!!, you’ve gotten it already!!
I don’t want it, I don’t want it anymore, I want you!!
I asked you if you still love me! You said “NO”. Why are you kneeling? Am i worth it?
You know you’re worth everything to me, I called you severally but never for once did you take my call, I felt bad seeing you with Isaac, I love you, I am sorry please.
Derick, I am not moved by all this.. I can’t marry you..
Annie, derick is still kneeling down in front of everyone for your sake, forgive him please.. my mum said.
I’ve forgiven him but I can’t take him back, I am no longer interested in derick.
You really want to sign it Annie?
Yes, I want to sign it
My heart can’t take this.
Episode 19
Your mother slapped me . She humiliated me!!
I am sorry Annie, for the sake of your child forgive my son!! She said as she stood up,…
His father said, Annie do you still want to be married to derick?
My mind was made up , I can’t take him back, I said as I wanted to sign the papers derick took it and tore it!!
I got up and left , derick ran after me , he held me and knelt down again , this time I saw his tears, he cleaned it and continued his apology, I didn’t listen , I told him to let me go!! He refused, I let him beg and beg and still refused, I pleaded with him to let me go and think about it, he let me go and I went back home,
When my mother came she asked me if I could forgive derick, I told her I wasn’t ready to forgive him, she also said that I should let go of what happened and start afresh..
Do you see how he knelt down? Annie forgive your husband and take him back.
He knelt down because he just realized his mistake, by the way that was the sweetest part for me, he is so full of himself.. I made him kneel for the first time ever.
Annie, he loves you!!
I know mum! He should suffer what I suffered.
Derick called and asked if we could see, I refused seeing him, I only told him to still provide the divorce papers which he said he is not providing anything..
I left my mums place to a friends place, Isaac was busy calling me and begging me to come back, I told him to calm down because if it’s a relationship between us it will never work, sometimes being friends is more better than being in a relationship ,, derick came looking for me but he never saw me!!
I got another call from dericks father , he pleaded with me to see me and he made a proposal to me!!
He said I should come over to visit, I refused again, so he decided to meet me up in my mothers place, and he came with derick!!!
Annie, how old is your pregnancy? He asked.
It’s almost 3months sir!! I responded to him.
Okay, derick hasn’t been himself and he wants you back, but since you don’t love derick , we have a proposal for you!!
We? I asked.
Yes! We!!! Me and derick!! He said.
Go on!!
You are with our baby and you’re still married to my son, so we are making a proposal for you both,
We both? Me and who??? I asked.
You and derick! Both of you will stay together for two days and decide if you still want him to be your husband or not!!
I can’t accept this proposal sir!!! I said.
That’s the only way you can be free from me, no rules , just stay with me for two days and get your divorce papers ready,Derick interrupted
And why would I stay with you for two days?? I asked.
You’re carrying something that belongs to me!!
What’s that?
Our child!!! If this two days you still want a divorce I’ll grant your request Annie..
Okay, I’ll accept because I want to really get rid of you!!
It’s okay,
So it’s. Yea?? His father asked.
Yes, it’s a yes!! I said.
There’s no need going back home Annie, your stuffs is still in dericks house,
I know, I didn’t move everything!!
Let’s go home!! Derick said as he walk me to his car!!
I was angry but I still need him to bring the papers again!!
We got home and I went to my room!! … derick placed an order for food, it was delivered and he brought it to me, I rejected it and went to bed
Knock knock!
Derick!
Yeah, please open the door.
Why? We had a deal.

I tied my towel and followed him to his room!!
He locked the door!!
