Episode 5: Fire in the house
It had been three days since Amaka whispered those words:
โI know youโre cheating on me, Olamide.โ
Since then, the house had been coldโlike harmattan inside the walls. She didnโt shout. She didnโt confront me. She simply changed.
No more night food.
No more soft touches.
No more eye contact.
She slept on the edge of the bed like I was a stranger.
Meanwhile, Ekaete moved around the house with confidenceโalmost cocky now. She no longer feared anyone. She would bend over too slowly while sweeping. Her nip*les would press against her top when she served me food. She would wink when Amaka wasnโt looking.
She had tasted meโand now, she acted like she owned me.
But something inside me had shifted too.
That night, when I saw my wife bathing through the half-closed door, her bare back glistening with soap, I felt something I hadnโt felt in weeks.
Regret.
Not just guiltโbut longing.
Amaka had always been good to me. Beautiful. Strong. She held the home like a queen. But I had let lust blind meโlet a moment of pleasure turn into a messy addiction.
And now, my queen was slipping away from me.
Midnight.
I sat in the living room, drinking cold water, unable to sleep. Ekaete tiptoed in behind me, wearing nothing but a sheer wrapper.
โOga, you no dey come again,โ she whispered, climbing into my lap without asking.
I held her waist, stared into her eyes, and whispered, โGo back to your room.โ
She blinked. โWhy?โ
โBecauseโฆ I love my wife.โ
Ekaete laughed bitterly, kissed my neck. โYou donโt love her. If you did, you wouldnโt be inside me two days ago, moaning likeโโ
I pushed her off gently but firmly.
Go, Ekaete.โ
She stood, wrapper falling open slightly.
โYouโll be back,โ she said, walking off.
But I wasnโt sure anymore.
The next morning, Amaka stood by the window. She didnโt turn when I walked in. But I could feel her energyโtired, guarded, hurt.
โIโm sorry,โ I whispered.
She still didnโt face me.
I stepped closer. โI donโt know what I was thinking. I lost myself. But I want to fix it. I want us again.โ
Finally, she turned.
Her eyes were redโbut not from tears. From holding too many emotions in.
โI loved you so much, Olamide. I gave you everything. And now, youโve made me feel like Iโm not enough.โ
I stepped closer and touched her hand. โYou are more than enough. I was the one who wasnโt seeing it.โ
Silence. Then slowly, she broke. Fell into my arms. We held each other for what felt like forever. Her tears soaked my shirt. My heart soaked in her forgiveness.
That night, for the first time in weeks, she pulled me to bed.
And made love to meโnot out of duty, but out of raw, vulnerable emotion.
Soft kis$es. Long strokes. Whispers in the dark.
She didnโt moan like Ekaete.
She didnโt beg or ride wild.
But there was something deeperโsomething sacred.
And I wept after I came.
Not from pleasure.
From the pain of almost losing what mattered.
Part ii: The B0mbshell
The night was quiet. Too quiet.
Amaka had fallen asleep beside me, her breath soft against my chest. We had made love with a kind of slowness I had forgottenโlike rediscovering an old song you didnโt realize you still knew the lyrics to. She held me like a woman fighting to forgive, and I kis$ed her like a man begging for mercy.
But peace doesnโt come that easily.
Not when youโve let a serpent crawl into your house and feed on your guilt.
3:00 a.m.
I heard a soft knock on the bedroom door.
It wasnโt loud.
Just enough to shake my spine.
I slipped out of bed, carefully untangling myself from Amaka's arms, and opened the door a crack.
Ekaete stood there. Barefoot. Her wrapper loose. Her eyes shiningโnot with tears, but with something else.
Desperation.
Possession.
Or maybe madness.
โOga,โ she whispered, โso this is how it will end? You go use me, scatter me, and go back to madam like nothing happened?โ
I stepped into the hallway and closed the door behind me, speaking in hushed tones.
โEkaete, go back to your room. I told you itโs over.โ
She shook her head slowly.
โYou told me you liked it. You moaned my name. You held me. You came in me. You think Iโm just ordinary housegirl?โ
โEkaete, please,โ I said, glancing toward the bedroom door, heart racing. โLet me fix my marriage. Let me find my peace again.โ
That was when she dropped the bomb.
โIโm late,โ she said, pressing a hand to her belly. โThree weeks late.โ
My world tilted.
โWhat?โ
โI might be carrying your baby,โ she whispered. โSo think well before you walk away from me.โ
I didnโt sleep again.
I sat in the parlor until morning, my heart on fire,
How do you undo betrayal when it has started growing in someone elseโs womb?
The house felt like a time bomb. Amaka's forgiveness still fresh. Ekaeteโs threat hanging in the air.
๐ Moral Lesson:
Lies grow like seeds. And the longer you hide them, the more roots they take. Sooner or later, youโll have to reap what youโve sownโeven if it shatterseverything
