Episode 1 : Relationship and Unexpected Proposal
Dated Alex for four years!! It was a very tough relationship, we always had issues, lots of misunderstanding, but we couldn’t be separated from each other,
Something was actually keeping us together over the years,,
Alex loved me more than I love him…he was ready to just do anything to keep me..
I work in a production firm, Alex is an engineer…
I was already due for marriage and he knows that.
We’ve always had plans about our future, number of kids and places to visit when we eventually get married…
I got a call from him one morning.
Your dad said if I don’t hurry up, you’ll get married to someone else.. is it true Nancy??
Alex, maybe my father is just trying to pull your legs. I’m not getting married to anyone else.. it’s you I want to spend the rest of my life with..
I’m getting scared already.. well, I’ll marry you soon, I don’t want this joke to turn into reality..See you later in the evening.
I got home asked my father why he lied to Alex about someone coming to marry me..
That joke is quite expensive, what if he thinks I am cheating on him?
I’m sorry Nancy, I was just trying to know if he’s ready to marry you, you’ve dated him for four years now.. don’t you think it’s time to settle down??
Allow him ask me to marry him … dating him for years shouldn’t be the reason for the pressure you’re putting on him.
I’m sorry.. I just have my reasons..
Whatever reason you have.. Allow Alex..
I was at work when Alex came and made a dramatic proposal entrance, it was the best day of my life.. finally I am going to get married…
After four years of relationship…. I said “Yes”. You must be wondering what took him soo long to propose.
Got home and was showing everyone my engagement ring 💍 I got lots of compliments like.
“It’s soo beautiful” “ you’re lucky” “after four years” “ congratulations”.
Two months later we started preparing for our introduction.
Introduction was done and dusted, bride price paid in full 😊… we got our date fix for our wedding..
What’s stopping you from going to Alex house??
After wedding I’ll fully pack to his house..
But he has married you legally.
I know, I’ll miss you and mum.. let me stay for a while..
I stayed with Alex for some days while preparing for our wedding and getting some stuffs.
It was happiness and joy, we got everything needed and was ready to be officially joined together in the church.
Three days to my wedding my father called me.
Nancy, there’s something I want to tell you..can you come home??
I got home and met my mother.. her face was sorrowful… my dad couldn’t look at me.. one of my uncle was present.
What’s wrong? Why is the atmosphere like this? Did anyone die???
Someone should talk to me..
Nancy.. you can’t marry Alex..my uncle said.
I don’t understand?
I can’t marry the man that has already married me? How?
We’re planning to return everything he paid…my mum said.
What’s going on? Someone should talk to me..
Sit down Nancy… my dad said pointing to the chair next to my mums.
Tell her now…
Scratching his head.. he said.
I used you as collateral years back.
I was already laughing..
Me? Collateral?? How??
I borrowed money and when I couldn’t pay back I made a promise to my friend that his son will marry you..
I thought he has forgotten.. he called me yesterday and told me he heard about your marriage and if I can’t pay him his money the deal we had will still stand.
I am confused dad..
You owe your friend money, and you told him if you cannot pay him his son will marry me??
Nancy.. we had an agreement, we couldn’t get our own home or even pay hospital bills when your mother gave birth to your siblings and you.
This land is part of the money he borrowed me.
I had to run away from that city in order for him not to trace us… we lost contact for years and I am still surprised how he got my number..
You couldn’t afford to pay hospital bills and you kept having kids?? You even borrowed from him to buy a land??
Yea.. I was working for him in his company..
How much is the money??
It’s a huge sum of money.. you cannot pay Nancy.
I tried to pay but I couldn’t, that’s why I ran away with your mother and your siblings.
Have you met his son??
Nooo….I may have met him but I can’t remember. He was still a child.
Why didn’t you tell me, atleast i would have worked towards it and pay him off.
It’s easy dad.. tell him we will pay him his money…
How can you use me to settle your debt?? How do you expect me to marry a man I have not seen? A man I do not even know if he’s old or not???
This is a joke.
My wedding is this weekend.. Alex will not be happy to hear this..
You want to use me to escape the money you owe…. I am not ready please..
Oh! Was that why you told Alex to come marry me fast???
Nooo! I wasn’t expecting his call.
They’re in this city with us right now, they relocated last month… and he heard the news… got my number from somewhere.
You can give him any of my sisters na… he will not be aware.
He knows it’s you.. he organized your naming ceremony. And he knows your name.
Please Nancy, I know it’s hard for you to make this decision but you have to… it’s a deal I signed, I never knew it will haunt me now that your happiness is at stake, I do not know how to face Alex.
Please… he is coming tomorrow morning with his son….
Your phone is ringing.
Hello Sir…
Am I speaking with mr Patrick??
Yes.. who please.
You do not need to know who…. I don’t know who you are or who your daughter is, I have no business with the deal you and my father made…. Tell your daughter that I am engaged to my soon to be wife and our wedding is by the corner.. I will not marry her.
You and my father should sort yourselves out..
My daughter is getting married too… help me tell your father we will pay him his money.. my daughter’s happiness is on the line
I have no business with you and your family… pay up the money you owe my dad… and do not try to force your daughter on me, she’ll regret it eventually. “Hangs up”.
That’s a good one… he’s getting married and you’re getting married.. so it will be difficult.
Nancy, you’re not saying anything.
I thought it was all a joke dad.. so it’s real??
Nancy… we’ll know tomorrow. Please inform Alex first.
My life is already crumbling…. Four years…. Proposal, introduction..
No way! I can’t take this… I’ll pay the money.
Let’s wait for them tomorrow.
Episode 2 : Marriage Plans
Since you left your fathers house you’ve refused to eat, what’s going on Nancy??
Alex, I do not know how to say it…
Just talk to me.. I’m your husband right? I’ll listen and advise you in my own way..
First of all you have to eat a little,, you’ll be needing soo much energy to dance on my wedding day.
Nancy!! Are you crying? What’s going on??
Alex. My father wants me to pay his debt.
Debt? Is that why you’re crying?? We can sort it out…
You don’t understand..
Tell me.
He already married me off when I was a baby.
He had a deal with someone that involves money and he promised to marry me off to his son if he doesn’t pay,, can you imagine! He ran away thinking the man will not find him.
I had no idea about this, his friend is demanding the deal be done right away…
My father refused to tell me the exact amount..
The house we live in now,, he used his friends money to buy the land… I don’t even know if he’s aware of what he has done to me.
How is that an issue Nancy? We can pay it off.
Alex…we can only pay it off when we know how much he is owing…. They’re coming tomorrow..
My family already said you should come take everything you’ve paid.
I don’t want this marriage to crash, I’ve waited long for this.. people will laugh at me.. At us 😢
I can’t take back anything I’ve paid, I already married you and you’re my wife..
Have you met his son??
Noo! My dad can’t even recognize him..
What was he thinking?
He was trying to be smart.. putting his happiness first.. he was selfish.
I’ll come over to the house tomorrow… I want to talk to his friend.. stop crying okay.. let’s eat please.. we will get married.
I’m not leaving you. I love you..
The next day I got home and waited for my dads friend and his family to come let’s arrive at a conclusion.
They finally came… his son came with his soon to be wife. A beautiful lady.
Mr Andrew, you’re welcome .my dad said offering him a drink..
Patrick, you really betrayed me… Mr Andrew said.
I’m sorry! I wanted my daughter to make her choice, imposing a man on her was not my plan..
Did you make the deal out of ignorance??
Here’s my son Jayson jay… and this is his wife to be.. I’ve already explained everything to her but she’s not having it.
Do you have the money or we take home your daughter??
Sir: how much is the money??
Ask your father… he knows how much he owes me.
Dad, how much is the money.
Even if you decide to buy a car worth billions of naira.. and you eventually gets 10 of it, it still will not pay the debt..
What??
Yes..
Even if we marry you without paying a dime.. your father still owes me.
What did you use the money for??
Invested in business that failed , ran into fraudsters and some were stolen..
I am sorry Andrew, please reconsider. You know my daughters wedding is tomorrow.
I can’t marry your son.. give us time we will pay..I said.
I can’t marry her dad, give them time, they’ll pay or you forget about the money…
I can’t leave Sonia…our marriage is fixed already.. jayson said.
I can’t leave my husband for you too..
Mr Andrew refused…
I can’t give you any more time.. your father ran away, even when I needed his help… he left me, he thought I was going to forget everything that happened? You were a child Nancy, I paid your hospital bills…
Your father initiated the deal and it was signed, if you don’t have my money now then get ready for a reception… your bride price has already been paid years ago..
I knelt down with my father and mother to plead for mercy, but it was his final decision.
I can’t let this girl into my house dad.. please don’t do this to me… I was still a kid, you have no right to have married someone to me on my behalf.. jayson said.
Was that why you refused me going to fulfill the traditional rites of Sonia? Jayson asked his father.
Yes…. Nancy is paying off his father debts by being your wife.. Sonia is out of the picture.
I want Nancy’s father to always regret his actions..
Jayson was very angry, he acted like a mad man… his girlfriend Sonia threatened to deal with me if I ever agreed to marry her man.
I’m not marrying your man, your man barks too much… I have my own man..
Alex met us arguing and he was told everything.. he also pleaded to give out the little money he had..
But Andrew insisted he paid in full…
Next time you’ll think it through before making a decision… Andrew said.
They finally left.
Alex, we’re sorry… I wasn’t expecting this.. my dad said.
I can’t leave Nancy…
I’ve gotten your money ready… I am really sorry Alex..
Dad, are you giving me out? Are you cancelling my wedding tomorrow?? After four years?? Where do you want to start from??
Stay with a man I do not know?? Why are you being selfish??? Can you see the man you’re giving me out too??
I don’t even like him.. how can I stay with him? I’ll be sad all the days of my life.
Alex left our house…
In the evening, Alex was invited by my uncles and elders, his family were present too.
My family returned everything he paid… even after pleading with them.
Alex refused to take it,, his parents collected everything and they finally left.
That was how my wedding was canceled.. my relationship of four years ended right in front of my eyes… I was still hopeful.
Jayson called me and repeated what he has been saying.
I can’t marry you.. I love someone else..
I can’t marry you too… I love someone else.
And please Jayson.. do not call me again..
I still communicated with Alex and most times we get to see each other just to talk about old times…
I slept in his house twice, I couldn’t bear the fact that he is no longer my spouse.. I missed him and he missed me too..
Having sex was a compulsory thing for us..
My mother advised me on how to treat Jayson…
Being a wife requires a lot, you have to be submissive and always make sure there’s food in the house.. whenever he talks do not respond to him.
Try as much as you can to get to know him.
This is someone I’ve seen once… I can’t get to know him.. it will be difficult to adjust..
You have to try Nancy, he is becoming your husband soon.
Make sure you do not refuse him sex….
Who is sleeping with him??? I asked.
Mum, I’m not ready for this lecture please… I’m going to see Alex..
Alex is no more your husband, remember we’ve returned everything to him..
I don’t care, Alex is the man I love… not Jayson..
A week later, Jayson was forced to break up with Sonia.
And I was forced to marry him for free.. bride price has already been paid on my behalf when I was just a baby..
Mr Andrew organized the reception and a Pastor joined me and Jayson together…
None of us smiled.
Jayson brought out the ring as instructed..
When the pastor said “ you may now kiss your bride” what the congregation heard was.
We’re not ready for that.. please skip it…
What the guest cares about was to eat and drink..
I cried from the beginning till the ceremony was over.
Jayson whispered to me “get ready to regret every sec of your life Nancy””.
“Get ready to also regret accepting to do this” I replied.
I noticed Alex wasn’t present..
Many people condemned the act, and some mocked me for marrying a man cause my father owes his father..
I was ashamed but I had to bear it.
I got to his house with just few of my stuff.
The first night married to Jayson was hell for me..
He asked me to sleep in the guest room..
On no account should you come close to my room..
I never wanted to sleep close to you Jayson…
No mattter how long it takes me, I’ll pay back my fathers debt so I can be free from you.
Please, hurry up and pay it off so I can marry the woman I truly love. Jayson said.
I removed the ring from my fingers and dropped it on top of his television…
He went out and didn’t come back that night..
That was how my pain started..
Episode 3 : Forced Marriage and the Beginning of Nancy’s Struggles
Waking up alone in this big house is a big problem.. I walked round the house and the compound to get acquainted with the stuffs around,,
My room is big enough to contain enough people… I went to the kitchen and decided to help myself with breakfast…
I waited for Jayson to come back..But he didn’t.
My mum called to ask wasup.
He’s left last night and he’s not back.
Are you worried?? She asked.
Worried?? Why would I be? He’s an adult and I wanted to go out.
Don’t leave Nancy… he’s your husband. Did you prepare anything?
What is wrong with you mum? Prepare what? For who??
Ain’t your feeling bad you and gave me out to a man I do not know?
My life is already miserably without Alex and all you care about is for me to satisfy Jayson??
Please.. end this call before I do.. I don’t need to wait for you to end it.. * ends call**
Exactly 11pm Jayson came back, he met me in the living room watching a movie and crying at same time.
He ignored me and went to the kitchen, he prepared his dinner and went to his room..
This is not a good sign.. I really need to work hard to pay off this debt so I can finally be with Alex..
I wasn’t comfortable in the living room, I went to my room and dozed off.
The next day I called Alex,, He said he was home..
Oh! Perfect opportunity to leave this house..
I freshened up and left without Jayson noticing…
I linked up with Alex, we had a long talk but he refused to even kiss me.
Why??
You’re married Nancy, I miss you but I have to respect you too..
I did not attend your reception cause I may tear up..
We dated for four years Alex, please I need you right now, I’m going through a lot… I know I’m not supposed to ask for this but it’s not my fault
I blame my parents… I miss you…
I know… but I can’t… I’m trying to save up so I can also assist in paying the money your father owes.. I still want to marry you..
It’s getting late and your husband would be looking for you..
Don’t call him my husband, I’m not married…
Sorry….do you still work??
Yeah.. my company gave me 1 month to enjoy my honeymoon…. There’s no honeymoon Alex..
I’ll see you tomorrow… can you drop me off??
Yeah. Sure…
Alex dropped me off at jaysons house…
I opened the door, met Jayson in the sitting room…I was about going to my room when he asked me where I was coming from.
I ignored him and continued waking towards the corridor.
Where are you coming from and who dropped you,,??
You want to know Jayson?? I’ll tell you.
My supposed husband Alex dropped me off,, I went to see him…
Can’t you see, I don’t love you and I’ll never love you.. you’re not for me and i am not meant for you..
*chuckles 🤭 * seems you’ve forgotten how your parents forced you on me… do you think I love you?? Did I ever tell you I have a girlfriend called Sonia?? Oh! You already saw her when we came to your fathers house.. she’s the woman I wanted to marry before my father came up with this stuff..
This fake marriage is not for me.. and do not ever leave this house without my consent… Jayson said.
And who are you to tell me when to leave?? I responded.
Jayson… stay away from me.. we’re not a match and my father did not force me on you…. Your father refused to be paid half of what my father owes…. I am not your wife..
And I am not your husband, I feel Soo uncomfortable with you…
I left him talking to himself as I went to my room…
Hello mum.. I can’t take this…I don’t love the man you and dad married me to..
You have to endure Nancy.. we are trying to figure a way to pay the money..
I was confused as I felt I’ve been trapped in a box…
What kind of marriage is this?Why am I trying to pay off my fathers debt?? I should have ran away….
I had soo many thoughts before going to bed.
Jayson and I became enemies, He stopped talking to me..
Sometimes when I want to ask him for money, he ignores me without responding and keeps the money on the couch 🛋 for me… atimes he even puts in the kitchen…
Whenever I go to my parents house,, he doesn’t care to come look for me or even call..
I left his house one day and his dad called me never to leave the house again..
I can’t stay alone in that house…
I’ve told you Nancy, you’re fulfilling the deal, whenever you leave , you must go back to the house if not do not leave at all..
Jayson is not bothered, why are you bothered??
He’s my son and your husband.. I am watching you…
Alex gave me the silent attitude and when I tried to talk to him, he’ll always wave it off…
I love asked and he is all I think off…
One afternoon Jaysons girlfriend Sonia visited, it wasn’t my business anyway, I’ve been praying they leave me alone and get married
she started to spill.
You sit here, do nothing and enjoy what I am supposed to enjoy.
I hope you’ve not been sleeping with Jayson??she asked.
Jayson is not worth seeing my nakedness.. I responded.
I don’t like you and I hope you and your family pay off what you owe so I can finally have Jason to myself.
Bringing or inviting your girlfriend here is really not my concern.. but I’ll not let her talk to me in a way that will annoy me..
She’s your woman, take her to your room, you both can have a peaceful conversation without involving me.
Let’s go inside Sonia… Jayson said..
After spending hours with Sonia…. I heard a loud argument from jaysons room.
You have to leave Sonia…. It’s getting late.
I can’t leave Jayson, I want to stay.
You can’t stay, don’t you get it???
Are you chasing me??
I’m not, but you need to go…
Are you protecting her interest??
Who’s interest??
Nancy of course, have you considered her your wife??
Nancy is not my wife…. If she’s my wife then you would not be here in my room.. I’m outside, I’ll drop you home..
If you’ll agree to spend the night with me in my house I’ll leave.
Jayson and Sonia left the house for me again…
Well, I ordered a ride back to my parents house.
Nancy, always running away from your husbands place is a very bad attitude…
Mum, I am always running away from Jayson cause I can’t stand him… he brought his girlfriend home today and they left together
Why can’t I be with Alex??
Men are not the only one allowed to cheat…. Mum, I can’t cope..
You have to go back to your house.
I can’t go back, I sleep alone.
I think you should try to make him happy.
I rather die…. I want to sleep… I’m starting my work tomorrow.. one month fake and annoying honeymoon is over…
How much have you and dad saved?
Not much but we’re still trying to save more..
So, you mean each time you leave the house Jayson doesn’t call you to come back??
I’m not his priority, so it doesn’t matter to me.
I went back to work,, I adopted the method of cooking in the morning, taking food to work…
Jay doesn’t eat my food so it wasn’t really a problem for me…
I engaged myself saving my salary so I can be finally free from him..
The constant argument with jay was what I could not handle.
It is always..
Nancy don’t do this, don’t put your leg on the table, I want to watch my favorite station.
I stopped going to the living room, after work I go to my room to watch whatever I want to watch..
Jayson came back from work one night and told me to stop going to work…
Why??
The house is not been taken care of, the kitchen lacks food… I hate dirts.
Oh please! The kitchen lacks food?? Last time I checked you do not eat what I cook so what’s this all about??
Talking about the house being dirty,, we come back late from work and I make sure I do the chores every morning before leaving.
You should get a maid if you want your house to glitter like a gold.
I can’t leave my work to sit down here to serve you, I am working hard to pay your father his money so I can get out of here..
You can’t pay Nancy.. anyways, I’ve told you’. I’ve been the one providing and paying all the bills.
I can take care of myself Jayson… I asked you for money cause I was on leave, I’m working now so I don’t need your money.
More reason you will not work…
I’m not having this conversation with you…goodnight.
I went to my room and noticed the door was locked.
I went back to meet Jayson to ask him why he locked my door.
I sensed it that you will run your mouth with me, so I locked it.. you’re not sleeping in that room today..
I want to freshen up Jayson… please open the door..
No.. Goodnight Nancy…I’m going to my room.
I followed him to his room, Jayson locked me outside refusing to give me the keys to my room..
Jayson.. open the door…. I need the key….knock knock.
Sleep in the living room..
Why are you doing this??
I don’t like you Nancy,
I didn’t ask to be married to you, I do not like you too Jayson.. just open your door and give me the key to my room… please…
You should have said No.
My wedding was canceled because of you Jayson…. You know what!! Eat the key, it’s your house.. do whatever you want to do with the key…. I’ll not sleep in the living room, There are enough rooms in this house… you’ll regret this someday…..goodnight..
The rooms are locked Nancy…
I called Alex and told him the situation of things, it was already late.
Alex drove in, I went outside, I didn’t know Jayson followed me..
What is he doing here in my house by this time?
I called him, since you’ve refused to let me sleep let me go somewhere and have a peaceful sleep.
Go inside Nancy.. and you mr, please just drive back home…
I can’t go back home, Nancy do not deserve to be treated this way…
I said leave..
I’m not leaving without Nancy.. Alex said.
You wanted to sleep out and you couldn’t call your parents, you went ahead to call your Ex boyfriend to come take you to his house? You want to ignite the fire and have sex?
I’ll give you the keys, tell your ex to leave..
He’s not my ex, and I am sorry, I no longer want to sleep here, keep your key…. Let’s go Alex..
Jayson took a step forward, I noticed he was up to something.
He wanted to punch 🤛 Alex, but he missed and he accidentally punched me on my nose..
I started bleeding and screaming..
Alex asked me to get in his car, he took me to the hospital for treatment…
Episode 4 : Coping with an Unwanted Marriage
Is this what you go through in the hands of your husband?
Alex, please, he’s not my husband… this is the first time he’s being violent…
I’m really sorry about this.. you’ll be fine….
Let me go get the drugs..
I want to stay in your place Alex..
Let’s go home Nancy….
We got home.
I’m not really happy with your parents,, just look at you’. I feel every pain you’re feeling right now..
How far have they gone with the payment issue??
I don’t want to talk about that Alex..
I miss you every sec we’re not together.. I wish I can be in your arms forever.. we’re supposed to be having fun after our wedding. Those moments we spent together means a lot to me..
I miss you too Nancy, but I can’t cross my boundaries… I can’t have you on my bed..
Why Alex,, I really want us to make love, I miss everything…we dated for four years, I can’t let everything go down the drain cause of Jayson..
Jason doesn’t touch you?? You haven’t slept together?
Jayson doesn’t love me, I don’t love him too, there’s no chemistry between us…. He hasn’t touched me… I don’t want him, it’s you that I want..
Alex please… I can’t loose you…just this once….
You’re married Nancy..I can’t..
I waited for you… I wanted us to spend the rest of our lives together..
Nancy, I am hurt as you,, do you know what it means to lose you?? Each time I remember how your parents returned everything I paid I feel soo. useless…. I was ready to do anything just to keep you, to keep us…. But your father’s greed made it this way.
I can’t bear it… you’re married and your marriage is hell..
Staying with a man you do not love and barely know is a big risk..
The church has already joined you both together, soo I’m sorry.. I still love you..
It’s fine, I understand you…
You should have some rest now…. Are you still in pains??
Yes…emotional pain.. goodnight Alex..
Night Nancy…
I called my parents when I woke up and explained to them what has happened between I and Jayson..
Has he called you yet?
Mum, he doesn’t call me at all.. are you coming with dad?? My nose is broken 😞
We’re coming….
My mother saw me, cried for a while and blamed my father for everything.
My daughter is really suffering in the hands of Jayson, look at what we caused….
I’ll call his father, I did not marry you to his son for him to kill you.. you’re still precious to us.. my dad said..
You stil have to go back…
Go back??
Yes…. You don’t have to sleep in Alex house anymore, it’s a taboo Nancy.. you’re already married so you act like a married woman..
I appreciate Alex’s effort to always come through for you, but there are some things you can’t do anymore once you’re married.
Just go home, tomorrow we’ll come to visit you and talk some sense into Jayson..
Your father is right, people will definitely call you a cheat once they notice you’ve been visiting me.. Alex said.
I don’t care about what they say…..
Nancy is suffering because of your greed and your inability to think, How do you even feel knowing that Nancy and Jayson are enemies living together??
You wasted my efforts, four good solid years wasted for nothing, And yet you are repeating same mistake.
Are you not supposed to take her home?? Let Jayson come look for her… but no, you’re asking her to go back..
I’m not involving myself anymore…Alex murmured.
Dad, Alex is right, let me go to your house instead of going back there to meet Jayson alone.
Nancy, you cannot run forever, inasmuch as Alex is right he is also wrong…. Running away from every little fight shows how weak you are… go back to Jayson, we’ll come tomorrow..
He may hurt me..
He will not.
Let me drop you home…. I’ll drop your parents first.. Alex said.
I got to Jaysons place, met him in the sitting room watching his favorite program.
I was walking towards my room when he said “The door is still locked””.
I don’t have to look for you each time you leave this house, you’re the one in debt 💸 so, I already know you’d be back but not soo soon..
How was your night with your ex?? Did you enjoy every bit of what you guys did?? Oh! You miss the good old days….
Can you please help me with the key? 😢
No, I want to hear what happened between you and that guy that is senseless… how could he even think of driving down to my house to take you home? For what??
You think I’ll just fold my hands and let you do whatever you want to do? No way!! Let it be the last time you ever try to leave this house with a man…
Do you even realized what you did to me? I asked.
I did not intentionally hit you, you were trying to protect your boyfriend… and I am not sorry..
Jayson…. What can I do to finally leave you??
Ask my father, cause I asked him same question this morning.. I want you out of my life… he said throwing the keys at me..
I left him, went to my room…and realized he has disconnected the cables, removed the television 📺…
So, Jason is not resting soon…
I was in the sitting room watching a movie, when he joined me…
Minutes later we heard a knock on the door.. he got up, opened the door a little to have a peep 👀
“You didn’t tell me you were coming, I wasn’t expecting you” he said.
Can you let us in?? Isn’t this my daughter house also? It was my dads voice.
I got up….. wanted to be sure it was his voice I heard…. He noticed I was approaching the door…. He widely opened the door for them..
Dad, mum.. welcome… I said to them offering them where to sit.
What are your parents doing here Nancy?? He asked.
You’re badly raised Jayson.. my father said.
I’m not badly raised…. A father who sells his daughter for some selfish reasons shouldn’t tell someone that he/she was badly raised… Jason replied.
We’ll just wait for your parents before saying anything.
His parents arrived shortly…. I served them drinks including my own parents..
When a man treats his woman in a bad way he gives room for other men to treat her right.. his dad said.
When a man treats his woman,, not a woman forced on him… Jayson interrupted.
Episode 5 : Jason’s Anger
Jason, silence…. Nancy has done nothing wrong, why did you hit her?? His mother said.
I did not hit her, you know me mum, I don’t hit women’. Nancy took the punch for her lover… she brought in a man to my house, I was trying to be calm with her’ I asked her to go inside and she bluntly told me she’s leaving with him….
Jayson, can you tell them why Alex came to your house by that time??
Nancy, what really happened? My father asked.
Jayson locked all the rooms, he asked me to sleep in the living room, I pleaded but he insisted, I had to call Alex.. when Alex came Jayson was overreacting, he throw the first punch..
Why are your parents here? You should have invited your Alex over too to say his own side of the story.. It could have been avoided had it been you went to your parents house, all you wanted was to be in the arms of another man which you got..
The woman you gave me is cheating on me and I can’t take it.
Nancy, is that true?? His father asked.
No.. I am not cheating on Jayson, I really want to cheat on him, i want to go back to Alex..talking about cheating, he brings his girlfriend to this house, take her to his room and mess up the whole place.
What? You’re bringing Sonia to your house? She still enters your room and sleep in your matrimonial bed? The bed meant for you and Nancy?
The bed is not meant for me sir… I don’t know what and how his room looks like… I am restricted.
Why jason? Why? Why are you punishing Nancy??
I haven’t done anything with Sonia since you married Nancy to me… Sonia is still part of my life…I’m not punishing Nancy… I just do not want her close, I don’t want any attachments.
Andrew, please…let’s give you half of what we owe, let my child be free from this bondage… I beg you…. I can’t let my daughter continue like this… my father said.
This is too much , I regret ever doing this..
Sir, please… I have no peace, my mental health is at stake…
I’m sorry, you still have to be married to Jason.
But dad, she’s not owing me… we can’t be together..
Both of you should work on yourselves first… see yourself as husband and wife….
Learn to love your wife…look after her…
Jason, allow her acces your room.. get to know her, I do not want to hear anything that will bring me here again.. you also need to apologize to Nancy, her nose is swollen..
I’m not apologizing to a woman that disrespects me..
After much advise, his parents left. My parents left too.
I went to my room… exactly 12am Jayson knocked on my door.
I want to talk to you Nancy..
I opened the door..
I didn’t want to say this but I had to, I never meant to hurt you, I feel bad looking at your nose, I’m sorry..
You said you will not apologize to me when your father asked you to apologize to me, why are you doing it now? Can I get back the television you took?
Don’t feel too special Nancy, I am only doing this for my sanity… we’re enemies, never forget that.. and…. You’re still not going to work… no more tv…goodnight.
Reason I’ll never love you.. you’ll be soo shocked when everything fall in place for me..
Is Alex offering you anything?
What Alex has offered me in your life you will not afford it..
Alex will not marry you, you’re already married to me.. and this is where you’ll end this so called marriage..””in this guest room”.
Alex will marry me.. don’t forget we were about to wed.
Alex cannot marry you again.. keep giving him yourself for free.
I wish I could have s*x right now with Alex..
Well, you can’t..
Let me shock you now,,, we made out that night he came to your house twice.. it was great… and I was happy I finally left with him..
I will not hit you Nancy…
Please hit me, let me go back to meet Alex so Sonia can come spend the night you..
I need to feel Alex once more… I want Alex everyday.
Just shut up and shut your door…”beautiful lair” Jason said..
I hate you Jason.. you ruined my life.
I hate you more..I did not Ruin your life, your parents did… mine also ruin my life. Goodnight…
I received a call from Alex.
“ I think we need to give ourselves space.
Why? What do you mean??
I can’t cope with this loneliness Nancy, I feel you’re gone forever.
I’m not gone forever Alex, just give me time to figure everything out please, don’t do this…
Nancy, we really need to talk about this… how’s your nose
The swell is reducing.
Nancy,,,,, please open your door, I want to talk to you, Jay said.
I’ll call you later Alex.. hangs up
I opened the door, asked jay what he wanted.
Have you been talking to Alex?
What sort of question is that?
I heard everything you said..
Sooo. Jay, what do you want??
I wanted to confirm something you said last night… just be sincere.
Did you really have sex with Alex two days ago??
Like what you said to me last night,,, do you mean it? Is it true? You know, the sex part??
Do you know the feeling you get when you’re with your ex?? That was the feeling I got when I am with Alex…. Look jay, I don’t know you from anywhere, and I really do not want to have a conversation with you this morning..
Nancy, I am trying to be nice around you cause of what I did to you the other day, I still do not like you, you’re in my house and I do not have a choice…
I am also trying to raise money for you to pay my father…I am still inlove with Sonia.. don’t feel I’ve developed feelings for you cause I am trying to have a discussion with you..
I don’t need your money Jayson… just leave me alone…whether you love your girlfriend or not’ it is none of my business…Are we done??
Did you cheat on me with your ex? Did you have sex with Alex?? I am asking you again.
Yes, I did… deal with it….** locks the door**
I got dressed, and stepped out of the house when Jayson was in his room.
I went to Alex place to finally know what he meant by the space he said he needed.
I thought we’re working together Alex.. why are you acting strange?
Nancy, I am tired of everything… I can’t no longer think straight, you’re living with a man and it doesn’t sit well with me to always accommodate you..
We’ve talked about this countless times Alex.. the money is what is holding me. Let’s make it work… my happiness lies with you.. don’t make life more difficult than the way it is for me…
If I do not love you I will not be here.. I understand your pain, try to understand mine too Alex.. I didn’t ask for this..
I love you Nancy but I can no longer wait for you, I need to move on with my life with someone else.
You already have someone?? Is that why you’re asking for space???
Nancy, don’t get me wrong…
I’m keeping myself for you… Jayson isn’t the man I want. Please reconsider us… Alex look at me… don’t do this..
Someone is at the door..
A lady walked in..
I was soo surprised…
Who’s she Alex?? I asked.
She’s my lover…
Precious meet Nancy, the woman I told you I was supposed to marry..
Wow! You already told her about us… I guess it’s a break up.. i said.
You’re married already, you shouldn’t be here,, you’ve done enough damage to Alex already.. precious said dropping her bag on the chair
Damage?? It’s alright Alex.. This is not easy to take.. You’re already in a relationship, was that why you kept giving me the silent treatment,?? I understand.. four years gone…
It’s my fault Nancy, your family caused everything, I am sorry…
Alex, she have to leave now that I am here.. precious said.
And please, let it end here… move on Nancy.. I’m sorry it has to end this way, but you have to leave now. Alex said
I picked up my bag, opened the door and left…
Mum, Alex has broken up with me 😢
Stop crying Nancy, it’s for your own good.. you just have to deal with it. It’s our fault..
I can’t live without Alex in my life, we’ve go through soo many things together to suddenly break up cause of Jayson.. I can’t take this
You need to let Alex go, he’s not meant for you, if he was he should have waited..
What should I do now? 😞
Nothing.. go back to jaysons house… learn to love him.. if you can’t love him, work hard let’s pay Off the money..
I want to come back home mum.. I can no longer stay with Jayson..
I’ll talk to him to let me stay here for a while..
You need to start going home, don’t cry for Alex anymore..
I got home and Jayson welcomed me with his usual question.
You went to see Alex, did he break your heart? Why are you crying? I’ve told you not to leave this house without my consent Nancy, what is wrong with you??
I’m not in the mood for all this jay.. I came back to have a nap.. it’s really been a long day and I wouldn’t want you to add to my pain…
What other pain do you mean if it’s not dealing with someone like you..
I told you Alex will not marry you.. he’s smart though,, no man would want to marry you..
Your father already gave you away…
Do you know I married you for free?? I didn’t pay a dime…
Jason, you’re trying to upset me.. I’ll ignore you..
Nancy… go to your room… you still need to regret ever meeting Alex… same Alex you took a punch for, same Alex you gave yourself.
You sound like someone who is pained.
I’m not pained, I am just wondering how you’d still spend the night in a man’s house after getting married..
You’re mistaken, I am not married. I can never be married to you.. you should try very hard to get my attention..
You’re in my house Nancy, you are in debt, you’ll do whatever I want.
You don’t scare me Jayson..
Don’t you go to work anymore?? I asked.
Why?
I don’t want to see you everyday, please go to work..
Days passed, Jayson didn’t change a bit, I became his prisoner, he succeeded in making me quit my job… he tells me what to do, where to go and when to be at home..
I became a loner in his house,
The thoughts of Alex broke me into tears and I lost weight, everything wasn’t okay with me….
Jason decided to be calm with me for some time..
He makes breakfast before leaving for work…
He was trying to make me forget about Alex
He noticed it was difficult.. but he didn’t stop trying..
He never stopped coming to my room after work, sometimes he gets me flowers for no reason.
“ I am doing this cause you’re heartbroken, don’t take it personal””
I’m getting married to Sonia soon..
I’m glad to hear that.. I can finally start my life afresh…
His girlfriend came, she met me in the dinning eating lunch prepared by Jason .. 🍱
This food is Jason’s favorite, and he always make this for me.. he made it for you? Sonia asked.
I stared at her for few secs and continued with my food..
Are you deaf? I’m asking a question.
Sonia, please.. I do not have your strength this hot afternoon.. allow me eat what Jason prepared in peace..
Sonia started raining curses on me, with anger she slapped me…
What’s going on here? Jason asked.
Nancy, what is it??
Sonia just slapped me,
Why??
Jason, have you fallen inlove with her already??
Sonia, I’ve told you to stop visiting… I would have slapped you but I won’t..
Jason, we’re getting married soon and you’ve been avoiding me.. you told me you were going to pay off the money so we can be together.. why am I seeing this right now.
Why does it feel like you’re going to bed with Nancy already.
Sonia… can we talk about this later..? I want you to leave now.
Nooo, there’s no need for her to leave, I’ll leave.. I’ve been wanting to leave this house for a long time.. I said…
Nancy, please wait…
Jason, let her go, this is my house not Nancy’s .. I’ve gotten the wedding cards 🃏 ready..
I married Nancy,, I know I wasn’t supposed to, but she doesn’t deserve this harsh attitude from you…
Nancy is my wife regardless of whatever that is happening,
Have you accepted her as your wife??
It’s not about accepting her as my wife, she’s married to me and she’s under my care.
No one has the right to slap or scold her for no reason…
She’s mine to be taken care of and I am the only person allowed to do with her whatever I please.
This should be the last time you’ll ever lay your hands on her..
I’m sorry Jason, I understand you, I miss you soo much, forgive my attitude…
I still want you to leave Sonia.
I’m not leaving.. I came to stay here with you..
Don’t chase me away cause of Nancy..
Ok fine,, you can stay..
I left them and went to my room..
I called my friend and told her to expect me soon..
I didn’t want to see Sonia and Jayson..
I got dressed, and went to my girlfriends place.
