IT HAS NO GENDER

CHAPTER 10

The next morning Sandra prepared breakfast as usual and prepared for work. She didn't tell her mother or Abigail of her plans for Dare, neither did she tell them what she just found out. She knew both women would go on and on about how cheating was a man's nature and how she should forgive and move on as the other woman would never be the wife and bla bla bla. She was not ready to listen to all those, she was going to threat dare the same way a lady would be treated when she cheats. She had seen a video on the Internet where a man had beaten his wife to coma for cheating and there and been hundreds of comments of people supporting it. It isn't only when a woman cheats that it is adultery.
It was Saturday, he usually left the house on some Saturdays from 11am-4pm for "business purposes" and he had told her he would go out when she had woken up to start chores. She was planning to find out if it was really business or "business" once and for all.
She was doing the dishes when Dare hugged her from behind startling her, she rinsed her hands and turned to kiss him. She smiled as she told him what she prepared for breakfast, he was still in his pajamas which meant he had only just woken up. She continued the dishes while he ate, she told him the chores he would have to help her with and turned off the faucet and she was done with the dishes.
Exactly 11am as expected Dare was off, this time she didn't wave like a lovely wife as he drove off, she gave him 5minutes head start and followed. She made sure to keep as much distance as needed so he would not notice although she knew he would not be expecting her to follow him but she needed to be cautious.
He drove the opposite of his work place, his office was along 5-junction in ring road but he went towards New Benin instead. He stopped in front of a guest house and Sandra stopped far away to watch what was about to unfold. She took out her phone and recorded, he waited almost 10minutes then she saw a lady going towards the car. From her distance, she had to zoom in to get a look at the lady's face, although her face was a little blurry, she was a beautiful lady. She wasn't ready to blame the poor lady yet, who knows what lies Dare must have fed her. Dare came out and hugged the lady. Her heart fell, somehow she had tried to convince herself she heard wrong and she was mistaken about the whole thing. But seeing the whole thing was heart breaking, she willed herself not to cry, it was something her mother had told her, a man did not deserve a woman if he makes her cry and a woman should shouldn't be so weak to cry over very little things. This was little compared to what her mother went through, she would have a younger brother if her mother hadn't tried to "keep peace in her home".
She stopped recording and drove off. No one would dare to tell her Dare was only in the guest house because he was the agent in charge of the building. She was very convinced Dare who's hand was on the lady's waist was only going into the guest house to sign paperwork. Anyone who saw them would think they were a married couple.
She made sure to drive safely, she would not risk her life out of anger towards someone. She home and let her anger set in, she was angry she has been betrayed and lied to, if Dare had said the truth the previous night and asked for forgiveness, she was sure she would have caved and and eventually forgiven him.
How long had the affair been on, she didn't know. She was surprised at the kind of lie he had told her the previous night, how he came up with such a convincing story was a big mystery and shock to her. She was beginning to question just how well she knew her so called husband, besides that had only dates a year before getting married. Was a year really enough to get to know someone?, Their third anniversary was only months away and it already looks like the marriage would not live to see it.
She didn't want to involve the family yet, she already knew the advise they would give. she wanted to get her enough evidence and confront Dare again, then she would see the kind of story he would cook up to cover up.

When Dare returned, she had already gone and returned from the market. She stocked the kitchen, with only Dare's money. They had both split the expenses of the family as they didn't want just the husband to shelter some and her some but now only Dare would shelter all, if he had enough money to get guest rooms for himself and his concubine, he would have enough to spare to take care of the house.
She dishes him dinner and went to the guest room, although she tried to act natural, she couldn't help the anger that was threatening to burst out of her skin. He had dared tell her he was very tired as he had to move from place to place, finalizing a deal.
By 6pm, she couldn't keep on hiding, when she came out, Dare was no where to be found. He had left when she was inside without informing her. She wasn't bothered or surprised, he probably went to meet his girlfriend-concubine thingy.
All the signs had been there from the start, late night phone calls, late night arrival from work, text messages in the middle of the night, and text messages to her as well. She had ignored all and had found a reason to cover it all up. She was a fool and it was time to act foolishly, without remorse.
Dare returned home by after 7pm with ice cream and suya, Sandra ate with him and chatted like nothing was going on. She was thinking of 101 places to hide a body as she smiled. Her mind went through so many options, she has been heartbroken but this is the worst so far and she would be on her worst behavior to address it.
