"You won't say anything to anyone" he warns, immediately the door slams shut.

"And why? You will not tell me what to do! You bastard! So you've been cheating on me all this while?!" he push him away from me, but before I try to make my way out, but he violently grabs my arm again.

"I'm serious Brenda. You will not say anything to anyone down there okay? You will act normal like a good wife would."

"I will do whatever the hell I want!" I seethe.

"Don't anger me" he says coldly.

"Oh? What would you do?"

He let's out a humorless chuckle.

"Trust me" he smirks "You don't want to know" he calmly replies.

"For goodness sake Tunde you cheated on me while I stayed faithful and loyal to you!"

"So you mean your not fucking your baby daddy?" He blurts out and I stare at him, totally stunned.

"What! How can you even say such a thing?"

"You will not even breathe a word of what you just saw to anyone, because trust me, if you do, I promise you, you'll regret ever knowing me" he says before adjusting his suit, then walking out of the room.

Hot tears roll down my cheeks when I feel his shoulder brush mine.

His such a disgusting pig!
He didn't even show any sign of remorse.
He's disgusting!

"Brenda, come with me. We don't want people down getting suspicious now, do we?" He peeks his head from the door.

I send a murderous glare at him. "You're sick!" I say vehemently.

"Thank you Mr and Mrs Lawal, it was such an amazing dinner" Mr Yahaya says cheerfully, all the while, his wife has been avoiding eye contact with me. The tension between us is so thick that you could cut it with a knife, her husband is oblivious to the situation.

"Oh don't mention Yahaya, we're like family" Tunde says. It takes everything in me to hold back the look of disgust I want to give him.

The two men exchange laughs, as they diverge into another discussion.
The other men quietly observing the scene, meanwhile, I bore holes into Mrs Yahaya's head.

"You really need to thank your stars I have some dignity in me, else I would have ripped your heart open" I say in a calm and controlled voice, loud enough for only her to hear. I put a smile on my face, so no one would suspect anything.
Her eyes quickly snap up to meet mine for the first time.
She opens her mouth to speak, but closes it again, she tries again, but nothing comes out.

I guess she's tongue tied.

"I thought you had a bit of dignity, but oh! how wrong I was" I continue. "You're a disgusting piece of shit, Theodora" suddenly, I feel arms wrap around my waist in warning

"Behave" Tunde softly whispers, while tightening his grip on my waist.

"What the hell was the meaning of that?" He asks, before slamming our bedroom door behind him.

"What? What the hell was that? I should be asking you that!" I yell at his face.
He angrily grabs my face.

"You won't use that tone on me young lady!" He says coldly.

"Why? Because I care? I will use any tone I want!" I say.

"You have some nerve!" he yells.

"No! You have some nerve! Kissing a lady in our matrimonial home? Tunde?! I would never do that to you"
