LOVING THE RAPIST CHILD

Chapter 25

"One day bush meat will catch the hunter " African proverb.

Ed, stared at the envelope in his hands, his mum has called him to come home after work,  she told him it was important.

So he came to his parent house first instead of going to his own home, yes. He doesn't refer to his parent home as his own again after all it belongs to his parents, he now had his own apartment.

He opened the envelope,  looked at his mum, who was anxiously waiting for him to check the content. He paused for a while, what was inside the envelope,  and why was his mother waiting for him to open it? She could have just given it to him and left,  this cannot be good.

Curiosity took the best of him, he opened the first envelope and saw some pictures,  the lady inside was looking very familiar as he kept looking at the next pictures after the other, six of them  in total and his heart was already beating heavily.

His hands were shaking as he took the second envelope , and this time his brain went blank, this was the Love of his life,  in clothes,  places and attitude that he cannot describe, this was Bright in her real form,  or so he thought. The reality of the lady he was in love with began to set in . She really  was a prostitute for real, she really wasnt lying.
But he very angry and hurt at the same time at his mother, what he didn't know about will not kill him, why would his mother go to a great length to dig up his girlfriend 's past? He kept asking himself as he started a the the worst picture of all. It showed Bright in her nude pose using her hands to cover her private organs sitting on a bed beside a man who was almost old enough to be her father or her uncle.

Why would his mother do this to him, was this a way of chasing him away from Bright, or reminding him of what type do woman she was. Was she enjoying seeing him go through all this? 

"Mummy, what is the meaning of this? Why did you this, what exactly we're you trying to achieve by showing me these  pictures " he was looking  very calm but his voice  wasn't anywhere from being clam,  it sounded scary and ready to act defensive"

"Akanni,what do you mean? Am showing you the true colour of the woman you claim to love, the woman you want to marry,  I am showing what she really does for a living and , that child she has is a bastard who doesn't even have father and a result of her promiscuous lifestyle,  she isn't right for you Edward, I am your mother, I know what is good for you, she doesn't even have family members , she is so wrong"

" I know what I want, I know what is right for me, because it is me, yes,you are my mother,  but you can't  choose who I love or who I choose to stay with,  this is my decision. if you think  you can go into my girlfriend past and make me feel better,  then you are wrong mom,you are so wrong,
she is what I want! You do understand that? I am happy with her, you shouldn't have done this, where is that motherly love and care you always showed? What happened to your Christian faith?  So you are casting stones,if this doesn't stop mum, then I don't know,  maybe I shouldn't be coming here again  " Ed was gritting his teeth and his jaw  was on edge.  His fist were clenched as if he wanted to punch something or someone,  his eyes looked dangerous and ready to kill. The tired look he had before was gone and his countenance was scary.

With that Ed stood up, took his jacket, car keys and walked out .

His mother was calling his name but he wasn't  even listening , he banged the door in anger.
***************************************
Two missed calls from Bright,  he saw his phone buzz again, it was a message from Bright, but he couldn't,  he couldn't just pick the phone and speak to her, he was feeling all kind of things doubt that maybe his mother may be right, he wasn't sure again, He loves Bright all right and he loves  and adore Jake, in fact he planned on adopting him before they get married.  But he wasn't sure if he could do this anymore,  what if his true feelings was wrong.
The images of what he saw kept haunting him, feasting on his dreams, his mood and anger.  When he woke up the next morning he tried acting fine,  snapped at almost everyone that tried to show concern, until he fired two of his employees  before the began to regain his sanity

"Well, isn't it strange for you to leave your high throne and come and greet me, you must have a lot of free time for you to come over here " the statement came from Folu.
