SHADOW OF THE PAST

05 No Confidant

Tomisin arrived home with Femi. Tomisin rained curse on her husband all through the thirty minutes drive from Mrs. Esin's place down to their matrimonial home, Femi kept his cool and refused to give her a reply all through the thirty minutes ride.

He parked his wife's car, alighted from it by leaving the key at the ignition switch, and went into the house in fury. Tomisin also alighted and went after him in fury.

By the time she got into the living room, she met her husband descending the stairs with some papers in his hand.

"Sign those papers..." he gave her an order with a frown by handing over the papers to her, and Tomisin checked the content of the paper in haste.

She scoffed after glancing through the papers and said, "Divorce" she rolled her eyes and said "Are, you for real?"

Femi ignored her question and sat down patiently waiting for her to sign the papers. But, Tomisin tore the papers into pieces instead and flung the tored pieces into the air.

"No matter what the case maybe I am not going to divorce you," she growled at him and he stood up and stormed out of the house.

Tomisin crouched to her feet and started wailing bitterly.

She just realized how serious Femi was.

'Was he truly done with me?'

She thought as she wailed bitterly.

She didn't know he was fed up with her for him to have the divorce papers ready.

Mrs. Esin and Zoe sat down in the small living room watching Telenovela. It was 8 pm and they just finished having dinner.

"That second wife is evil. Though the first wife was not patient enough, acting in this manner after snatching the man from the woman is evil and totally out of it." Mrs. Esin commented over the series they were watching. She noticed Zoe wasn't responding to any of her comments as usual. Whereas, she loved this series in particular and couldn't afford to miss an episode from it. Keeping mute, made her guardian knew something was wrong with her. She looked so gloomy as she sat watching the series in silence. "Zoe, hope all is well?" she asked and Zoe shook her head in affirmation that all is well with her. "If all is well, why do you look so dull? And you are not contributing to your favorite series as usual. I hope all is well?" she asked worriedly.

"Mum, if you try to..." she wanted to ask something, but stopped midway and said instead... "All is well mum" she assured her guardian with a fake smile.

"If am not mistaken, you wanted to ask about but changed your mind. What exactly is the problem Zoe? Share it with me please."

"Mum, it's about the series. I wanted to ask why Devian was treating Sara in such a manner in the first place. But, I reserve my comments and questions to the end of this episode." she lied and Mrs. Esin bought the lies.

"Okay, let's keep watching. There must be a reason for his actions."

"Mum, let me get you some fruits from the fridge. We must enjoy the fruit while we watch the series." she suggested, trying to excuse herself from the living room to brood better about what was bothering her mind.

"Hey baby" Diana gave Marcus a peck and sat next to him smiling.

"Whats up?" Marcus said. He had been at home all day shutting down the system of a renowned telecommunication company in America.

"I am going for the surgery next week." Diana announced with a smile. "I spoke with the surgeon and we fixed next week for the surgery." she said sliding through the pics of her phone to show Marcus the type of butt implants she was traveling to the US to do. "This is the size I wanted. I sent it to the surgeon already." she added and Marcus glanced through the picture of the International celebrity that also went for a butt implant.
