CONFLICT

To say he was angry was an understatement, Tor was fuming. He did not understand why she did what she did after the last incident of her harrasing Amara. Akilah silently watched him seething as he drove them back to his office. He was grinding his teeth so hard, his temporal vein was visible. He had carried her onto her shoulders and literally threw her into his car after she kept arguing with him infront of the store.

'' I thought we talked about this.''

'' That's before you decided to get your mistress pregnant again!''

'' First she's not my mistress and second, she was already pregnant when the truth came out.''

''....and you decided not to tell me, after that whole speech about you loving me and this shit never happening again. Mxm!"

" I just found out too not so long ago and had to beg her to let me accompany her to her appointments and she asked me not to tell you just yet.''

" So she dictates to you what you should or shouldn't tell me, your wife?"

" No-"

'' She's actually ashamed of what she has done, good! Atleast she has somewhat of a conscious.''

'' No she is afraid of you and did not want any stress for her or the baby."

Akilah chuckled not any chuckle but the chuckle that told him he had her fucked up. That chuckle that landed women on murder documentaries. He swallowed hard and loosened his already lose tie.

'' She doesn't want stress?!! So I deserve all the stress that she currently has me under. I deserve to be stressed over her because of you, my husband but she gets to be stress free."

" She's preg-"

" Fuck that! I swear you've got me fucked up! You have the audacity and the nerve to protect her from me!''

'' I'm not protecting her-"

'' Then who?"

" The baby."

" So you're protecting your mistresses baby?!"

'' Stop calling her that and I'm protecting my child."

" Are you sure?"

" Yes. Tell me what was I supposed to do seeing her visibly stress and the doctor telling me about her high blood pressure levels.''

'' How nice, my blood pressure levels can go up but hers can't! This could've been avoided if you were honest."

He did not tell her for Amara's sake but he also did not want to deal with her reaction to the news.

'' It doesn't change anything because you still would have behaved just exactly as you are now.''

'' You don't know that and I behave in this manner because you lied and kept secrets for me. If it wasn't for Afia, I would still be clueless."

'' Eventually I would have come clean."

'' When? When you decide to leave me for her?"

" No."

" How could you do this to me Tor?! Am I and Akon not enough for you, that you had to go and start a whole new family.?''

Tor sighed. Although he was in the wrong, he was tired of this question because she had asked it more times than he could count since she found out about his infedility.

''Answer me! Was I not enough for you?''

" Akilah¡ what the fuck!?"

" I fucken hate-"

He swerved off the road when she began punching her and immediately blue lights began flashing behind them. His day could not get any worse.
