Charles was still as a statue when I ended the call with Onyi, he must have suspected that I sensed something a while ago.
The other day it was Crazy Grace his partner, today it was Grace my friend.
Life has become tricky all of a sudden, a routine clandestine to the eyes of others but plain for me to see, is being played out here.
Charles messes up
A memory pops in
I forgive him, then another mess up begins
This was way too tricky, life was making me forgive him, was it?
One thing was for sure, I'm definitely going to see Mr. Ajayi and I am damn well going to that get together, also when I get there, I am going to speak to this Grace. Who happened to be my friend and also happened to cheat on her husband with my husband. Oh it was very clear to me what was going on.
His reaction when I mentioned my boss, an even worse reaction at the mention of Grace Maduka.
I could slowly feel the rage rise from my pits and spread to my face. He cheated on me with my friend, made Jude break up with his wife.
Does Charles even deserve to be angry with Jude?
Except, wait a minute
Grace Maduka was my friend even though I could remember very little about her, and the little involved my pointing a gun to my head and a big revelation about sleeping with my husband. Then the revelation about being in love with my husband
She loves Charles!!
Where does that even place Jude?
What the heck was even happening?
Jude was not shocked because i came back to work that day,He was not nice because he was usually nice to his employees. He knew quite well who I was, he also knew that I didn't recognize him.
All thanks to my messed up mind that failed to reveal Grace's spouse. Well ex-spouse.
Jude probably knew who his wife had an affair with, why else would Charles be afraid?
Jude was trying to get revenge on Charles, with me. Does that even make sense?
My head felt like a computer as I processed everything that happened. Charles deserved a hard kick to his groin.
Kicking him would make him feel that I have remembered more, probably more than he suspects.
My hand found it's way to the drawer and I dropped my phone on top of it.
Charles was just staring at me like he wanted to say something and I was probably staring at him like I wanted to break his face.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you babe"
Between gritted teeth I managed to say "okay"
"Victoria, you do know that whenever you say okay, it means it's definitely not okay"
"What do you want me to say Charles? I tell you something about work, then you go all "authoritative and what was that? Were you trying to make me understand your role in the family? He is the head of the family, I am supposed to listen to his commands "
I scoffed, trying to suppress my anger, not for his yelling but his infidelity
"Victoria it's not like that, we are partners in this, we have been partners, I don't want to be that husband who is like a boss to his wife. It's just I don't want you to go out with this boss of yours"
"Are you even listening to yourself, you don't want me to go out with him, did I tell you that I was going out with him? I nukwa m. It's even pointless to be having this conversation with you.
I am going there Charles"
He laughed then stood up
"You know I thought you had changed Victoria, I actually thought that there was something different about you this time. But I just realized that you are still the same stubborn and cold person that you used to be"
