Episode 36

????JEREMY????
I stood close to the doctor in the bedroom who took a look at Stella. There were nurses too and they brought with them – a big machine and other props.

I had the door locked cause there were many people downstairs eager to see her.

Her dad, my parents and three of our relatives.

I just don’t want them to hurt my wife again.

Tristan.
My own flesh and blood could do this to me. Am done trusting people.
I don’t even trust my mom anymore.

I heard a knock on the door and I went to it. I opened the door to meet Jeffrey there.

“Bro…your mom just wants you to come down. Please…she’s your mother. I don’t have one but I know they’re damn important” he said and I took a deep breath.

I left the room and shut the door.
I followed him downstairs.

Mom rushed to me.
“How is she doing? Has she woken up…?” She asked and I moved away from her.

“Y’all are wasting your time here. Am not letting any of you see her so I suggest you go now” I said coldly.

“Jeremy, she’s my daughter!” Mr Anderson yelled standing on his feet.

I scoffed.

“At this point, I don’t care. She’s pregnant with my baby and I don’t want her to be exposed to danger again. So please leave and come back some other time” I said and left the living room ignoring mom’s call..

The doctor was done and he was already packing his stuff. And the nurses were running around too.

“How is she? Anything wrong with my baby?” I asked and he exhaled.

“The baby is safe but Stella herself isn’t. The poison is still in her system. It’s clouded at a particular spot but would dissolve soon and began spreading around her body.

We have to prepare her for surgery in two days. We need to act fast and operate on her. For the mean time, you’ll have to be with her and help her with anything she needs. She won’t be so fluent in speaking cause of the effect of the poison. Keep her safe till the hospital is ready to conduct such surgery”..

I sighed.
That’s too much to take in but I won’t give up on Stella no matter what.

????STELLA????
I opened my eyes slowly with my head hurting a lot.
It doesn’t feel heavy like before. I rubbed my eyes and sat up on the bed though I felt weak.

I turned to see a man sitting beside me.
I panicked.
Who is he.??

I tried to leave the bed but he stopped me holding my wrist.

“Stella, it’s me” he rasped and knelt before me on the bed holding me close.
“It’s Jeremy love. It’s me” he muttered rubbing my hair.

I moved away from him and curled my legs just staring at him. He came closer.

“No! Leave me alone” I yelled and threw a pillow at him.
He pushed the pillow off and gazed at me.

“Stella…don’t you remember me? Am your husband. I’ll never hurt you” he said trying to touch me once more.

I shook my head in disbelieve.
He forced himself on me and kissed me.
He was so slow and yet fast. The kiss seemed to make me see more images of the strange man.

I stared into his face as hot tears trailed down my cheeks.

“Jeremy?” I wavered and he smiled.

I hugged him tightly and he held me to himself.

????????????????

After having dinner with Jeremy. He took the empty plates downstairs while I tried pulling off my clothes. I feel so tired and weak.

Am lucky Jeremy offered to feed me since I didn’t even have the strength to lift a spoon.

His phone began ringing and I took it.
I froze at the sight of the caller.
Nina.

Who’s this lady?
She’s been calling Jeremy alot before.

I watched the phone ring till it stopped.
I took a deep breath.
Am going to ask Jeremy tonight.
He have to tell me who Nina is to him.

The door opened and he entered the room.

“What do you think you’re doing?” He asked and came to me.

He helped me pull off my shirt and unhooked my bra.
geez,
He’s seeing too much.

He helped me up and removed shorts before carrying me into the bathroom.
He dropped me gently in the bathtub and just like he knew, the water was warm.

????JEFFERY????
I was sitting at the balcony getting myself drunk and looking up at the stars.

Am so happy for Jeremy.
He found his wife who happens to be driving him crazy all this while and he still acts like he doesn’t love her.

I scoffed.

The maid walked in with her head bowed.

“What’s it now Lucille?” I grouse.

“Um…A lady’s here to see you. Her name’s Nina. She said it’s urgent” she replied.

I sat up.
Nina is one of the girl’s Jeremy screwed before he got married.
What does she want now,??
