MARRIAGE CONTRACT

GUGUE

EPISODE 1

I can’t let my sister die without trying something to save her. What kind of sister
would I be. I looked at myself in the mirror as I was getting ready to go and meet
Madam G. My name is Erica and my sister’s name is kassie , she has been diagnosed
with cancer. I have no money left for her treatment which is a hundred thousand
dollars but I have to make a plan. If I go back to the bank and apply for another
loan, they will laugh in my face. I wore some blue jeans, a white shirt and some
sneakers and headed out to meet with Madam G. I took a taxi to her office and the
building was actually nice. I knocked on the door and the person answered after
three knocks.

“ you must be Erica , please take a sit”

I hesitantly took a sit.

Me: you must be madam G

Madam G: yes and you are here to sell your virginity for a hundred thousand dollars
right.

Me: ye yes

Madam G: don’t be shy , we get a lot of girls like you here. So here is your file.

I grabbed the file with shaking hands. There is absolutely no turning back . I
opened the file it was some guy called Michael Thompson .

Me: ok I will do it

Madam G : good now the twist is , you have to get married to the client for one
year and in that period you have to give birth to his child.

Me: what? But I barely know this person besides if I am to marry him , the money
should be increased.

Madam G: look little girl, do you think your tight vagina and the little blood you
will bleed is worth a hundred k

Me: but a child is a huge step

Madam G: it will be done through artificial insermination .

I don’t want to do it but at the same time I can’t let my sister down.

Me: okay I will do it.

I took the document and signed it, there was no going back. I got a call from the
hospital so I had to leave immediately and attend to my sister. I arrived at the
hospital and met with doctor Cooper.

Dr cooper: your sister is refusing to start her treatment please talk to her.

Me : okay show me her room please

The doctor led the way and I found my sister seated on her bed.
Me: hey pumpkin (her eyes glistened when she saw me and ran to give me a hug)

Kassie: sister erica I missed you

Me: me too but what is this I hear kassie about you not wanting to start treatment.

Kassie: we have no money sister and I don’t want to be a burden to you.

Me: no no no , don’t ever think like that ever again. You are not a burden to me
and as your sister it’s my responsibility to take care you even I have to sell
myself to get the money.

Kassie: but we have no money that’s the point, I don’t want you to owe this
hospital huge bills.

Me: do not worry about the money I have it.

Kassie: ohh did the bank approve your loan

Me: uhmm yes it did

She hugged me tightly but I couldn’t help but cry. I hate lying to my sister but
it’s for a good cause. Later that night I was at home with my friend Amanda, I was
catching her up on my life.

Amanda: so you are telling me you are going to mother a man’s child that you don’t
know in order to get your sister the treatment she deserves.

Me: yes

Amanda: you have the heart of a mother , I could never, and when is this wedding
happening?

Me: tomorrow

Amanda: with who?

Me: a random dude called Michael Thompson

Amanda: wait , thee Michael Thompson… not only are you going to have a one night
with a rich man but you are going to be a billionaire’s baby momma, I am so jealous
right now.

Me: yeah right

Amanda: let’s go to club for you to blow off some steam

I really needed some air because my mind was clustered. I just wore my tracksuit
and Amanda took me to the club.

Amanda: I don’t know why I let you dress yourself because you have zero fashion
sense.

We walked into the club and a hot guy approached us but he was eyeing Amanda .

Him: hie guys I am Dylan matthews

Amanda: omg as in thee Dylan matthews the owner of this place?

Dylan: yes , would you like to come to the vip with me.

Amanda: ye…. (I grabbed Amanda’s arm)

Me: I hate to be that guy but what if he is a serial killer

Amanda: loosen up love not only do we get to chill with the owner of this place but
get first experience of the vip lounge.

We followed him to the vip room and it was quite beautiful. Amanda tapped my
shoulder.

Amanda: there is your future baby daddy (I froze)

EPISODE (2)

Gugue

What was he doing here? This is my bachelorette Party , I know it’s not fancy or
with a lot of girls but you know what I mean.

Michael: hey ladies, are you the ones who will take our worries away before we
marry strangers. (I chocked on my saliva)

Amanda: what? We are not prostitutes

Michael: I didn’t say you are , in fact you don’t look like ones. Your friend looks
like Virgin Mary I mean who comes at a club with track suits .

Amanda: you are so rude

Michael: and you look broke

Me: ok enough guys . Amanda let’s leave , clearly we are not wanted here

Michael: you are not fuckable anyway

Amanda and I turned around to walk away from this shit show. I can’t believe I will
carry this bastard’s child let alone marry him. How I wish I hadn’t signed the
contract. We were not sitting at the bar.

Amanda: your future baby is a sexy jerk

Me: atleast you still see the sexiness, I don’t

Amanda: come on babe loosen up

Me: Amy , you don’t get to live with this person for a year , I do and honestly I
think I am going to murder myself on the first two hours of being in his presence.

BACK AT THE VIP LOUNGE

Dylan: Michael bro, why did you do that

Tyler: Why are you always mean to girls

Michael: you call those whores girls. They came here to spend our hard earned money
in exchange of a vagina. Just like the whore I am to marry for a year.

Dylan: Then why did you agree to marry her

Michael: she is a virgin duh. Atleast I get to be someone’s first too.

Tyler: yes , for a prize though

Michael: it doesn’t matter

Dylan: there was a time I thought you were gay. Don’t get me wrong

Michael chuckled

Michael: what? Why

Dylan: the way you talk to them ladies needs to change.

Tyler: And the fact that you only need a one year marriage

Michael: Let’s just say I am a beast that can’t be tamed

ERICA’s POV

I woke up feeling anxious, I don’t know if it’s the fact that I am getting to a
rude stranger or the reason that I didn’t tell my sister about my wedding. I was
seated at the edge of the bed breathing more heavily than usual. I was completely
zoned out until I felt a light tap on my shoulder . It was Amanda

Amanda: I need you to relax ( I looked her and I felt this sudden urge to cry. She
attacked me with a warm hug) let it all out. I need you to remember why you took
this step and walk down that aisle with pride. The pride that your sister is saved
because of the sacrifice that you made.

I nodded and then she wiped my tears off. She helped to get dressed and I covered
my face with the veil. Amanda helped me get into my wedding car and then we took
off to my wedding venue. It wasn’t fancy or anything, there was the groom , the
pastor , Amanda, another guy from the VIP section and Dylan. Remember Dylan , the
club owner , yes he was there as one of the witnesses. There were no vows prepared
so we just recited what the pastor said . I was actually surprised when Michael
didn’t recognize Amanda or it was because of her full glam makeup but little did I
know I was in for a treat.

Pastor: by the power vested in me , I pronounce you man and wife . You may now kiss
your bride.

He reluctantly opened my veil and his jaws dropped.

Michael: you!!! (He half shouted in a disappointed manner)

MARRIAGE CONTRACT

EPISODE (3)
Gugue

He looked at me in total disgust and I could tell he was about to bully and
belittle me.

Michael: Of all the girls I could marry , a cheap slut was never in my bucket list.
You planned this all didn’t you ? (He said firmly gripping my arm and a tear
escaped my eye)

Amanda: stop it I say

Michael : shut up cheap wh*re . I know you and your cheap bastards conspired
against me. If you think you can chow my money then you have another thing coming.i
am not moved by these crocodile tears of yours.

He stormed off the wedding venue and his friends followed him. I dropped on my
knees and cried. Amanda crouched next to me and gave me a hug.

Amanda: stop crying friend please.

Me: why Amy (I sobbed) couldn’t I get a humble human being to marry at least. I am
disgusted by the fact that I have to carry his child as well. You know what I am
done, I can’t continue with this. (I removed my veil)

Amanda: I am sorry friend you had to get married to such a human being . Look at me
(she used her index finger to lift my chin) remember the motive behind this
decision. Think about your sister, you have come this far and there’s no looking
back.

I can’t pull out now . As long as my sister gets the treatment she deserves, I
don’t care about myself. Amanda helped me up and drove me to my husband’s house.
The house was really beautiful and Amanda made sure to leave inside the premises.

Amanda: friend this is where I leave and I hope that you will be safe.

me: do you really have to go

Amanda: yes plus I don’t want to cause drama for you .

Me: ok but thank you friend for everything , I really appreciate it

She pulled me into a tight hug as we said our goodbyes. Amanda left me standing in
that huge house and a lady approached me.

Her: sorry mam , we don’t take in stray cats.(she said with an attitude)

Me: excuse me?

Her: you heard now please leave . ( she said pushing me)

As she was pushing me , Michael walked in white boy wasted (very drunk)

Michael: I see you have met my slutty wife. ( he took a long pause and stared at me
with rage) ohh Patricia clean her upstairs.

He stormed out.

Patricia: ohhh you are in for a treat (she said sarcastically)

She escorted me to bathroom where she washed me and gave me some night dress. She
applied body sprays and took me to her master’s chambers. She left me inside and
walked away.

Michael: undress yourself (he said with a deep voice that carried lust)

I slowly took off the nightgown and was left butt naked. He came over to me and
roughly kissed my neck. He then pushed me over to the bed and I fell on my tummy.
Everything was happening so fast as he inserted his cock inside my vagina. I
screamed in pain and agony but he was too drunk to even care. He pounded me from
the back until I heard him groan and warm liquid gushed inside of me. The bed
sheets were soaked with blood and he got up and zipped his pants. He took out a
paper from him pocket and threw it on the floor.

Michael: here is your money cheap prostitute

MARRIAGE CONTRACT

EPISODE (4)

Gugue

Is this the life that I am going to live now. At least I got the money to pay for
my sister’s bill. My vagina was on fire and I couldn’t move so instead I continued
to sleep in the position he left me in. I slept without blankets until the next
morning. Michael came to my room and woke me up vigorously.

Michael: so you want my servants to find you in this sympathetic state?

I shook my head no and tried to stand up slowly but my legs were failing me. I
couldn’t withstand the pain that was coming from my vagina. Michael rushed to me
and roughly grabbed my arm while pulling me away from the bed. I screamed and he
shoved his hand on my mouth to shut me up.

Michael: if you dare make a sound, I will reap out your throat and feed it to
mongrels. Now get up and fix your self along with these bloody sheets.

I stood up and limped across the room to get it cleaned up.

Michael: ohh you are even limping mhm (he scoffed) fix your walk before I get mad.
(He walked out of the room)

I did as I was told that too as fast as I could . I walked down the stairs and I
found Michael with a lady in the lounge. They looked like they were cozy but hey
that is none of my business I don’t want to know. I diverted and went to the
kitchen to get myself some food. Patricia had already covered my breakfast so the
only thing I had to do was dig in.

“Patricia make me us dinner, we are heading out” it was Michael shouting from
across the room as he was leaving. I stood up and rinsed my plate.

Patricia: and here I was thinking that you are the madam of the house.

Me: what is that supposed to mean

Patricia: it means that you are one of the sluts the boss toys around with and
later dumps. You stay longer in the house because you are too delusional to see
that he has used you.

Me: bu… but we

Patricia: uh uh save it. I need to make dinner for the boss and his new slut. FYI
lemme warn you , the boss is going to marry only me now go … bush pig

I quietly left the kitchen and went to my room to get changed. After , I rushed to
the hospital to pay for my sister’s bill.

Dr cooper: good to see you again miss Erica I hope you came bearing good news.

Me: yes I have already paid the bill fully. Now can I see my sister

Dr cooper: yes please follow me

I followed behind him and he led me to my sister’s room.

Kassie: sister Erica (she squealed in excitement)

Erica : oh my baby come here

We hugged and I couldn’t help but cry.

Kassie: why are you crying

Me:it’s nothing, it has been long since I felt your warm embrace.

I spent the day with my sister and I was genuinely happy until I received a call
from Michael that got me shivering. I started to shake and Kassie realized it.

Kassie: is everything okay

Me:ye yes I I need to go home now

I hugged her tightly because I never know when I will take my last breath while
living with that monster.

MARRIAGE CONTRACT

EPISODE (5)

Gugue

I boarded a taxi and I was shivering all the way to the house. I wonder what that
monster will do to me today . The taxi stopped outside the gate and I walked in to
the compound alone. Patricia was waiting for me in the hallway.

Patricia: you are dead (she whispered while making hand gestures. She smirked)

That lady has never liked me and I bet she enjoys my harsh treatment here. Patricia
cleaned me up and gave me a new nightdress and then took me to her master’s
bedroom. Michael staring outside the window and signaled Patricia to leave the
room.

Michael: undress (he said with a deep rusky voice)

I know better than to make a fuss so I did as I was told. When I remember
correctly, my contract stated that I will only sleep with him once but hey what can
I say. He turned around slowly with deadly red eyes full of rage.

Michael: where were you?

Me: I I I went to visit my friend (I said fiddling with my fingers)

Michael: interesting because Amanda was on a date with my friend Dylan remember him
, the club owner.

Shit I am busted, what am I going to do now. What will I say.

Me: bu b but I didn’t say it was her

Michael: oh so what’s her name

Me: it’s um it it’s I uhm ( a stinging slap landed across my face)

Michael: you charity case. I brought you under my roof for you to lie to me huh ?
(He roared and I kept quiet, I couldn’t even wimp or cry)

He took out his belt and whipped me until I felt my body getting numb. I didn’t
have the energy to cry anymore. I laid on my tummy and I felt Michael’s penis
penetrating roughly inside of me. It was extremely painful because one I was still
dry and two I hadn’t healed from the past night’s sex. He continued to rape me
until he was satisfied and he left the room. I rolled myself into a ball and cried
myself to sleep.

NARRATED

Michael woke up the next morning elated and he called his lady Fiona, remember the
lady in the lounge?

Fiona: babe who was the lady I saw in your kitchen today with Patricia.

Michael: ohh don’t worry about her , she’s the slut who wanted money so I got in a
marriage contract with her.

Fiona: ohh so what do you benefit from the contract.

Michael: she will carry my child and after that she’s gone. Plus if I get a child
with her , you will be saving your figure and stay forever sexy my love.

Fiona: aww thank you babe but I don’t like the thought of your embracing another
woman’s loins.

Michael: it was a one time thing babe and good bye have a nice day today.

Michael hung up the call and summoned Patricia.

Michael: is madam awake now?

Patricia: no sir

Michael: I swear I will kill this girl ( he muttered underneath his breath) okay
you may leave

Michael furiously went to Erica’s room and found her sleeping naked on the bed
without a blanket on her. He aggressively grabbed her hand but he got no response
from her.

Michael: Erica (he shook her gently) please wake up

He gently picked her up and took her to the bathroom. He ran a warm bath for her
and cleaned her up then tucked her into bed after putting on some warm clothes on
her.

MARRIAGE CONTRACT

EPISODE (6)

Gugue

ERICA’s POV
I woke up feeling refreshed and tucked in my bed. Patricia really does a great job
even if she doesn’t like me. I touched my body and felt yesterday’s bruises, I
couldn’t help but sob quietly. I hope Patricia didn’t see these scars , what if she
tells people and defames Michael’s character. I wonder what Michael will do to me
when he finds out . I was lost in thought until I heard Michael clear his throat
and he was seated at the edge of my bed.

Erica: good morning sir I will get out of bed now , I am sorry for being late
please don’t punish me.i w… (he cut me short)

Michael: how are you feeling?

That’s the first , he has never cared for my feelings before.

Erica: I am fine sir , I will cover my bruises

I quickly got out of the bed and limped my way to my dressing table. How I loathe
Michael, if it was up to me I would have strangled him in his sleep. I am
tolerating this mess because of my baby sister only.

Michael: go and make breakfast, my fiancé will be here in any minute.(he said
walking out)

Erica: but Patricia is there for that (I don’t know where I gathered the courage to
talk back to him. The moment he paused and slowly turned to look at me, I knew I
was dead )

Michael: and what is your job exactly

Erica: to have sex with you and carry your baby

Michael: just that for one hundred thousand dollars mhm (he scoffed) be serious

Erica: yes isn’t, it’s for a year

Michael: hey ! (He shouted while pouncing on me and squeezing both of my arms. I
literally peed on myself. I was scared , embarrassed and nervous at the same time )

MICHAEL’s POV

Scaring her wasn’t my intention but I wanted her to know that she can’t talk to me
like she’s coming out of the toilet. She shouldn’t think that because I was nice to
her, I have developed a soft spot for her. She was a virgin when I slept with that
is a shock to me because a lot of girls that age would have been ran through. Just
like Fiona , she wasn’t a virgin when I found her and I am sure that her body count
is skyrocketing. I have a little confession to make, I am now addicted to my wife’s
vagina, call me weird or anything. It’s tight and warm, it makes me cum without
even putting a lot of effort. That girl is so sweet hence when I found her absent
from home yesterday, I panicked. What if someone more caring, who treats her
right , finds her before I enjoy her goodness. I slowly let go of her arms and
walked away from the room, leaving her in tears.

NARRATED

Erica went to the kitchen and found that Patricia had made some breakfast already.
She ate her share and then cooked some jollof rice since she didn’t want any
trouble from Michael.

Patricia: so you are just one of the maids now

Erica just ignored her and continued with her work. Patricia grabbed Erica by her
hair and gave her a tight slap.

Patricia: just because I bath you and prepare you for the master , doesn’t mean you
should have an attitude.

Erica just rubbed her cheek for a moment and continued with her work. Fiona had
arrived so Patricia quickly went to the lounge to serve breakfast so that she makes
an impression.

Fiona: eww I don’t want this , quickly get it away.

Michael: what do you want babe

Fiona: a salty cooked meal not this thing that your useless maid always serves.

Patricia left with a tail in between her legs.

Patricia: go and serve your stupid rice

Erica dished out the food and went to serve the couple. The told her to stand next
to them until they finish eating.

Fiona: such a scrumptious meal, you are the best maid here and I am thinking of
making you my personal one

Erica just smiled .

Michael: yes indeed I got myself a good wife I mhhh I mean good maid here

MARRIAGE CONTRACT

EPISODE (7)

Gugue

ERICA’s POV

I am glad that I had cooked that scrumptious meal and they enjoyed. I was still
waiting for them to finish their food so that I can take the dishes and clear the
table.

Fiona: so tell us Erica where is the money that my fiancé gave to you. It is
evident that you have withdrawn it from the bank.

Me: yes I withdrew the money

Fiona: and did what with it

Me: well I used it for personal reasons

Fiona: I wonder what the reason is because you can’t even dress properly. Are you
homeless?

Me: mhhhhm (I cleared my throat)may I be excused

Michael: why are you running away from the question?

Me: because it’s inappropriate. I earned that money , so how I used it is non of
your concern.

Michael: you better watch your mouth under my roof. You kn…

My phone started to ring and it was the hospital calling. I cut Michael short and
answered the phone.

“Mam may you please come to the hospital quickly . The proc…”. Michael snatched my
phone away from me and threw it against the wall.

Michael: how dare you? (He slapped and Fiona just smirked) You don’t talk to your
boyfriends in front of me.

I wasn’t even fazed by the slap , I was worried about my sister now. I decided to
leave the plates and head out of the house.

Michael: if you ever leave this house , never set foot in here again.

I ran out and headed to the hospital.

MICHAEL’s POV

Fuck!!!!!!!!! Did I just lose my wife to another man. She literally ran out on me ,
who runs away from a billionaire who is rich and sexy.

Fiona: babe see that, she doesn’t respect you

Me: not now fifi

Fiona: divorce her

Me: no

Fiona: you are quick to say no why , (I looked away) ohh my goodness you love her

Me: and so ?!!! (I snapped)

Fiona: what do you mean by “and so?” . It’s been a a few days.Can’t you see that
she is disrespectful towards you.
Me: and you respect me ? Bitch get out

Fiona: babe look

Me: I said get out

I walked away before I could do something that I would end up regretting. I stayed
up till late hoping that she would come back but she didn’t. I was angry at her and
at myself , I fear that when she comes I will hurt her. I will put hands on her.

MARRIAGE CONTRACT

EPISODE (8)

Gugue

MICHAEL’s POV

I woke up the next morning feeling like shit, I tried calling my lady yesterday but
she didn’t pick up. Why am I this worried for her. I had some bad sleep I don’t
want to lie. I called in Patricia who came running, there’s something about this
maid , the way she is acting, it’s like she wants a piece of this D!!!!!

Patricia: sir you called

Me: is madame in her room

Patricia: no she didn’t come back last night

Where could she have gone. I tried calling her again but she didn’t pick up the
phone. I am running out of patience and I really don’t want to hurt her.

Me: that would be all Patricia you may leave

I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower then later prepared for work. I
didn’t even feel like having breakfast . I was at the office when Tyler walked in
with two cups of coffee.

Tyler: hey man you look a mess

Me: I just need coffee man (I said taking one cup from him)

Tyler: I saw Erica in the hospital

Me: what ? Why , what was she doing?

Tyler: eyy chill it’s not like you guys are a lovey dovey couple so stop acting
like you care.

Me: well technically she is my contract wife so I have to know (how do I tell him
that I have fallen for her)

Tyler: well she was crying while being embraced by some hunk doctor

Me: what ? (I said furiously banging the table)

Tyler: what? (He laughed) you guys are not in love so stop the jealousy
Me: it’s not about jealousy but respect you know. She can’t be fooling around with
random man while she is married.

Tyler: ohh okay but it’s okay for you to fool around with women while you are
married

Me: if you were my secretary I would have spilled my coffee on you man. What’s with
the obvious questions. I am a man I have got needs.

Tyler: so does Erica

Me: whose side are you on ?

We laughed and continued to have a chat while working. Deep down this thing of
Erica embracing another man was eating me

💧ERICA’s POV💧

I sat beside Kassie feeling so sad. I took her hand in mine staring at her face as
she slept. Doctor Cooper was at the other side of the bed checking her.

"She will be fine Miss Erica, she just needs adequate rest." The doctor said
standing up right.

"Thank you so much, but when will she be out of the comma?" I asked.

"After a day or two, she should be perfectly okay." He replied smiling.

"Okay doctor, thank you so much." I replied nodding.

He walked out of the ward leaving me with the nurse.

"Miss Erica, I think you need to rest now. You have been here since yesterday
morning, and it is 7pm already." She said looking really concerned.

"Yes, but I can't just leave her this way." I replied sadly.

"Don't worry Ma'am, I will take perfect care of your sister. You can go and come
back tomorrow." She replied smiling.

"Okay. Thank you so much." I said after thinking about what she said.

I stood up looking at her face for the last time before walking out of the ward.

I walked out of the hospital feeling so stressed out. I even forgot totally about
Michael , I was so concerned about Kassie.

I hopped into a taxi , since I didn’t have a car of my own

I then remembered I had to talk to Amanda about Kassie’s condition. I picked up my

phone to call her. Amanda is the only family I got now including Kassie.

I switched it on and I was shocked to see 10 missed calls from Michael.

"Why did he call me?"

I ignored his call and went ahead to dial Amanda’s number. It began to ring, and
she picked up on the third ring.
Amanda: Erica

Me: hey girl.

Amanda: How are you?

Me: Am tired.

Amanda: What's wrong? Michael gave you some hectic job?

Me: No not that, it is about Kassie.

Amanda: What's up with her, is she ok?

Me: she had her emergency surgery and is now in a coma.

Amanda: What! How are you feeling though?

Me: Better, just coming back from the hospital. I have been there since yesterday
morning.

Amanda: Since yesterday morning? And Michael was okay with that? Girl he will kill
you

Me: I don't care if he isn't Amanda. I will hang up now, goodnight.

I hung up and threw my phone in my bag. I zoomed into the silent compound and the
taxi parked properly before I got down.

I carried my bag and phone along with me. I got to the door and I suddenly felt a
little scared. I turned the knob and I saw the door wasn't locked.

I summoned courage and walked into the house. The lights in the living room were
off, so I walked to the stairs heading for the bedroom.

"Where do you think you are going?" I heard a familiar hoarse voice behind me.

I rolled my eyes knowing very well it was Michael . The lights came on and I turned
to see him behind me fuming in anger.

He wore a white round neck top and a short, his hair was brushed to the back neatly
and beautifully.

"Are you dumb?" He smacked me with the back of his hand.

"Michael please, I am so not ready for this. I am tired and I need to rest." I said
getting up with tears filling my eyes. I started moving to turn away but he held me
back by my wrist.

"Don't you dare walk out on me! I called you ten times and all you had to do is
ignore my calls! Because of a man?" He yelled.

"You are hurting me." I mumbled in pains as tears rolled down my cheeks. His grip
so very firm on my wrist, that I felt it will fall off any moment.

"Answer me!!" He yelled again making me flinch.

"Please let me go." I said again bursting into more tears.

MARRIAGE CONTRACT

EPISODE (9)

Gugue

He wouldn’t budge, he kept on squeezing my wrist.

“Today I am going to teach you a lesson that you will never forget “. I could tell
from his face that he meant business. He was going to beat me black and blue. He
dragged me to my room and aggressively stripped me naked.

“Please Michael I am sorry” my words fell on deaf ears. he removed his belt and
thrashed me . Each whip was ten times more painful than the previous one. I cried
but no one came to my aid. After he was satisfied, he sat on the floor with me.

“Disobey me again and I will reap out your ovaries and feed them to your friend on
a silver platter” . He said coldly, facing the wall. He stood up after some time
and went to his room. I wonder if I would be able to survive this marriage till the
end of the year. I couldn’t get up because my whole body was aching. I could feel
that my face was also swollen from the punches I got. I slept on the floor again
uncovered.

🔥MICHAEL’s POV🔥

I felt good that my wife had returned really but I couldn’t control my anger after
I heard that she was hugging a doctor. I woke up the next morning and went to work
without even checking on her. My friend Dylan came into my office.

“You are difficult man to find nowadays bro” I said standing up giving him a hug.
“And you look fresh too , who is giving you this glow”

“Amanda” he said with a smirk

“Erica’s friend “ I asked curiously

“Yes man she has been there for me , holding me down and I think it’s safe to say
that she’s the one” .to be honest I have never seen my friend invested in one
person and I am happy to see how this will go.

“I am happy for you man” I said smiling

“Yeah right after you called her and Erica hoes” . I reminisced that day and we
both laughed.

“Yeah that reminds me, how’s Erica” I cleared my throat a bit. Why would Dylan ask
about my wife all of a sudden.

“Uh she’s uhm she’s ok “ I said while sipping my coffee.

“She’s a strong woman. Even after what happened yesterday “ . Judging from the look
of his eyes , something terrible happened.

“What happened yesterday?” I asked curiously

“Ohh she didn’t tell you “ , he asked surprised

“Well obviously she didn’t now out with it before I thrash you like I did to her.“
I was getting impatient.

“That’s messed up , why would you do that?” Dylan can be an ass sometimes. He knows
I beat women who act out of character.

“Tyler told me that she has been hugging some doctor”

“Because that’s where she gets comfort from. Her husband is a hooligan who beats
her for no reason so she might get comfort from elsewhere “ . Honestly I am
confused. Dylan is supposed to be my friend and support me.

“The reason she was hugging that doctor is because her sister was in a coma after
her surgery.” Dylan sounded irritated. Oh my goodness, did I beat my wife
mercilessly for no reason. Damn you Tyler.

“What surgery?” I asked in a calm tone

“I think you should go and ask Erica these questions and the real reason why she
married you “ Dylan walked out banging the door behind him. I buried my face in my
hands.

🔥MICHAEL’s POV🔥

I called Kathrine, my secretary and told her to cancel all my business meetings for
the day because I had to get to the bottom of why Erica married me.

“But boss , today you are meeting with the minister’s son and the deal would
benefit the company greatly “. She said while standing in my office wearing a
miniskirt.

“Kathy”, I said her name calmly after taking a deep breath.

“Yes sir”

“Did we build this company together?” , she kept quiet and fiddled with her hands.
“Exactly what I thought, now do as I say because it’s my company that I built with
my own hands. Right”.

“Right” she said picking up her purse and leaving.

I finished up my stuff and headed for home. Along the way, Dylan’s words kept
replaying in my head. I will try to show compassion to Erica when I reach home . I
arrived at home and found Patricia in the lounge doing whatever she was doing.

“Good afternoon boss , you came home early today “ she said oddly smiling.

“Where is my wife “ I ignored her stunts on purpose.

“I haven’t seen her since she came back yesterday “ I frowned. I hope she didn’t
pull the stunt that she had pulled the other day. I started pacing up and down
until it clicked. I ran to her room and broke the door down. She was laying in the
position I left her in badly injured or should I say bruised.

“Ohh my God is she dead, did you kill her?” Patricia asked as she was panicking.

“Run a warm bath” , Patricia ran to the bathroom and did as I said.

I picked Erica up and gave her a bath. After that I dried her body, lotioned her
gently then put warm clothes on her. I tucked her inside her bed and sat beside her
while brushing her hair backwards. I know I never pray but today I prayed for her
safety.

💧ERICA’s POV💧

I slowly opened my eyes and saw a different ceiling than I am used to. Did I die ?
Oh my goodness I am in heaven. I smiled as the heavenly scent of the room filled my
nostrils. No I can’t be dead , what about my sister. I sat up straight on the bed ,
it was all of a sudden that it caused Michael to jump. I didn’t know he was in the
room as well. Did we die together? I asked myself biting my finger nails.

“How are you?” Why is he asking me that?. I am sure he wanted me dead. If I don’t
answer him now , my body will be found in a ditch tomorrow.

“I am fine”. I said trying to get out of the bed

“Stay tucked in , we need to talk” , thank heavens maybe he wants to divorce me.

“Why did you marry me Erica” . I wasn’t expecting that question honestly. If I tell
him the truth, he will say I am true gold digger and he will kill my sister.

“Why do you care all of a sudden “? I said getting off the bed and he forcefully
grabbed my hand and made me to look at him.

“don’t get me mad Erica answer me” I was frightened and tears started to fall down
my face.

“Your crocodile tears do not move me slut. You go around hugging all kinds of men
and then expect sympathy from me. You are a disgusting human Erica” he said
tightening his grip.

“Enough!” I said yanking my arm off his grip .

“You have said enough. Since you care on why I married you here is the reason. I
wanted money for my sister’s cancer treatment. I have tolerated you these two
months only because of my baby sister. Yes call me a slut , whore or whatever but
when it comes to my baby I would even sacrifice my head for her. I sold my
virginity, my womb to you in order to save her and I don’t regret except selling it
all to you” I snapped and rushed out of his door with tears trickling down my
cheeks. I met Patricia along the way.

“Sleeping beauty hello” she said sarcastically

“Not today hoe, because I will shank you fool” I pushed her to the side and went to
my room.

🔥MICHAEL’s POV🔥

As soon as she began to weep I couldn't take it anymore, she looked so innocent and
gentle as she did.
I realized that I had gone too far in hurting her this time . She looked very angry
when she stormed off. I didn’t know that she had so many things bottled up

"Erica." I called but she didn't answer me.

I sighed holding my head. Then I followed behind her.

"What is wrong with me?"

"Why am I so wicked?"

And for the very first time, I am feeling bad for what I have done and that has
never happened,except for my bros.

I walked to her room feeling like a coward.

I saw her lying on the bed and weeping silently.

"Erica." I called again walking close to her.

"Don't touch me." She mumbled in tears.

"I...I..I am sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." I said sitting beside her.

"It is not your fault! It is my fault for agreeing to marry you. These two months
have been hell for me!" She yelled.

"Erica I know and that is why I am saying sorry." I said feeling angry already.

"You know what. Excuse me, I want to sleep." She said standing up from the bed.

"Where are you going to?" I asked watching her. She took a marker from her bag and
went to where she sketch the calendar, and crossed out the day. I didn’t even know
that she had a sketch calendar.
She came back and laid on the bed closing her eyes.

I wanted to call her again but I stood up instead. She even made me say the word I
have never said before "Sorry".

I walked out of the room and went to my room to lay my head. I can't sleep with her
on the same bed for now.

I laid on the bed with my phone doing some stuffs in it. I wasn't feeling sleepy at
all, what happened was still very well in my mind.

I never knew she could cry, but I actually did make her cry.

"You said you were going to ignore, why are you now so worked up?" My mind said.

"Yes, i don't know. It is kinda hard seeing your wife whom you beat senselessly for
no reason crying. She is sacrificing it all for her sister , I am jealous a bit." I
mumbled.

"Fake wife, not your real wife." It came again.

"Whether fake or not.... Whatever!" I said switching off my phone and closing my
eyes for a good afternoon rest.

I woke up to the grumbling of my stomach and when I looked outside it was already
at night, then it dawned to me that I had not eaten dinner. I tried ignoring it but
it kept grumbling.

I got up from the bed and headed to the kitchen. I got to the living room and I saw
a ray of light from the kitchen.

"Is somebody in there?"

I walked to the kitchen and then I saw Erica in front of the fridge. She was
already in her for ever sexy night gown.

It was transparent, so I could see her thighs under the light from the fridge. I
stood in the dark staring at her.

She took out a pizza and a yoghurt from the fridge and placed them on the cabinet.

My stomach grumbled loudly again making her jump in fright. She looked in the
darkness looking so scared.

I moved out of the darkness and walked into the kitchen with a straight face. She
stared at me for some time before looking away.

"I was hungry, I will replace it in the morning." She said walking away with the
pizza and yoghurt.

I sighed and checked the fridge, I took the same thing she took and moved to the
dining table to devour it.

🔥Michael’s pov🔥

I can’t believe that I have been so inconsiderate of Erica’s feelings or whatever

she was going through. After eating my pizza , I went to Erica’s room and I knocked
on the door, which is unusual because this is my house , I can enter any room any
time I want. Erica opened the door in her sexy night wear and those thighs were
turning me on. I wanted to do ungodly things to her so bad.

“Michael, what brings you this late here”. Why is she acting dumb, she knows why I
am here.

“You are angry at me”. I said pouting .

“Michael please stop this. I am always angry at you” , I could tell from her voice
that she was starting to get irritated.

“Why?” , I said looking deeply in her eyes

“Why? ,Mhm” she scoffed. “Please go to sleep “ she said trying to close the door
but I pushed it. My strength over powered hers.

“Look, I want to get to know you better so I am listening today” . Honestly

speaking, I want to know what is bothering her.

She looked at me for a few seconds and then stepped aside allowing me to enter the
room. She pulled a chair for me .
“You hurt me Michael. For starters you called me a slut the first day we met and
just for my sister’s well being, I tolerated you.” I could see that she had bottled
up a lot of things because tears were also threatening her eyes. Her voice started
to turn into wimps .

“You raped me” she said closing her mouth and gasping for air.

“I couldn’t feel my vagina for a few days but you didn’t care, you wanted me to act
normally in front of people.” That struck a nerve. Why am I so evil.

“I am sorry Er…” she cut me short.

“Sorry ? Mhh (she scoffed) that’s all you can say sorry?” Tears started falling
from her eyes.

“What the hell am i supposed to say ?” I shouted.

“I don’t know maybe act like you are sorry “ she raised her voice.

“You better watch your tone with me girl or I will send you flying across this
room. Besides it’s not like I did terrible things to you “ . I regret trying to
talk to her. I was getting angry by the minute and wanted to strangle her.

“You hit me for going to see my sister through her operation (I charged towards her
with my fists folded) even though I am pregnant with your baby.” She said sitting
down breathing heavily.I lowered my hands and took a few steps back

“Baby?” I muttered underneath my breath. She is pregnant with my child and I almost
killed her. Erica was breathing heavily on the bed and I have never been so
clueless on what to do. I stood up and picked her up from the bed.

“Please do not kill my baby”, she cried helplessly while trying to fight me off but
my grip on her was too strong. I carried her to the car and put her in the backseat
and I rushed to my driver’s seat. I drove to the hospital like a maniac and I heard
a sharp scream from Erica .

“Baby try to breathe okay. Do this for our kid we will be at the hospital in a
minute please “ I wanted to cry…

I drove past red lights on the way and in no time we were in the hospital. I
parked and carried Erica in my arms then rushed into the hospital while calling for
the doctors. I felt something soggy underneath Erica’s butt and I hoped it wasn’t
what I thought it was. The nurses rushed with a stretcher and I placed Erica on
it . I looked at my arms and my heart nearly stopped beating.

🔥Michael’s pov🔥

I was still in shock from the blood that covered my hands. I have never set foot in
church but I found myself praying for the safety of my wife and kid. I say on one
of the benches and buried my head inside my hands . I waited for several hours but
still there was no update from the doctors or nurses. I went out to the nearest
restaurant to get myself some food. I ordered prawns and garlic bread. I devoured
my meal and then ordered pork chops and cheese sticks for Erica then went to the
hospital. I sat on the waiting area until a nurse approached me.

“Ohh my goodness you are Michael Thompson” she almost jumped for excitement.

“Yes I am “ I responded coldly

“I am so blessed to see you sir . I am your biggest fan” I don’t know if she was
flirting with me or what but I wasn’t interested really.

“How is my wife?” I ignored her tantrums.

“Oh who is your wife?” She sounded a bit disappointed.

“Erica” I said with anticipation

“Oh yes I was sent to call her husband and I didn’t know it was you.” She
stammered.

“Okay okay just show me to her ward please “ I really tried being civil with her
but I really wanted to see my wife.

She showed me to my wife’s ward and there was a doctor who was talking to her. I
felt jealousy creeping inside my heart because Erica has never laughed with me like
that. I cleared my throat and entered the ward.

“Okay Erica I will go and check on Kassie and see if she has woken up”. The doctor
turned to me .

“You are a lucky man Mr Thompson, your wife is okay and the twins. Congratulations
on your coming family. Please don’t stress your wife, she suffered a severe hit to
the tummy of which she explained that she got hit by the corner of the table which
caused her to lose a lot of blood “. I simply nodded and the doctor walked away.
Erica looked away as I trodded to her bedside.

“Erica I am sorry,” she didn’t even turn to look at me.

“Why didn’t you tell ..look I brought you food “ she immediately turned as I
mentioned the word food and her face lit up in excitement.

I put the food on her table and she started to eat like someone who hasn’t had food
for months. As she was eating, she was releasing moans that were a clear indication
that she was enjoying the food.

“Excuse me for a minute , I will be back”

I went to look for the doctor who was attending Erica.

💧ERICA💧

After the scrumptious meal that Michael brought me, I decided to lay down for a
moment and closed my eyes. Two nurses entered my ward and I was half asleep so I
could hear what they were saying.

“I can’t believe that Thee Mr Thompson married this hoodrat” she scoffed.

“She looks like, she’s in it for the money “ I closed my eyes tightly, fighting
back my tears.They started giggling.
“Say one more word about my wife I dare you “ Michael’s harsh voice silenced the
nurses.

“Tell me one good reason why I should let you keep your jobs here?” His voice
sounded more annoyed than ever.

“Move my wife to the presidential ward now. I want her to be handled with care. Do
you hear me?”
Hearing Michael calling me his wife and defending me repeatedly, warmed my heart. I
forgot about the hurt I was feeling and actually dozed off.

🔥MICHEAL’s POV🔥

“Kassie!” , Erica screamed in her sleep causing me to wake up.

“No please, wait!, where is she” she started to move uncontrollably. I rushed to
her bedside to calm her down but I couldn’t.

“Kassie!!” Her screams became unbearable. I called for the doctor. Doctor Cooper
came in after a few minutes and was successful in waking Erica up.

She was in shock , panting heavily. I embraced her in my arms and she wrapped hers
around me tightly while sniffing. We let go of the embrace when Doctor Cooper
cleared his throat.

“Are you okay babe” I was really concerned about her.

“I need to see her”, she said restlessly.

“Wait a min…” she cut me off

“I need to see Kassie!!!” She started to spiral again.

“Ok ok let me prepare a wheel chair for you and I will wheel you to her ward” .
The doctor intervened. Erica nodded.

Doctor Cooper came back with a nurse who was pushing a wheelchair. I carefully
placed Erica on the wheelchair and we wheeled her to sister’s ward.

“But doctor , I can’t afford this ward. I am still trying to raise the balance for
the treatment “ . Erica said worriedly as we entered her sister’s presidential ward
that included 24/7 television, better treatment and food.

“Don’t worry about the money, your husband here got it covered “. I smirked

The doctor and the nurse walked out leaving me and Erica in Kassie’s ward.Erica
passionately held her sister’s hand.

“Thank you Mr Michael. I promise to repay you as soon as possible “. She sniffed.

“It’s okay really, I am glad that I could help “ I said while holding her
shoulders.
Kassie opened her eyes and started coughing.

“Am I in heaven “ she said in hoarse voice.

“Kassie “ Erica beamed with excitement as she embraced her sister.

“This is Michael Thompson, oh my goodness what is this prestigious man doing in my

ward” . She was in shock.

“Uhm ey ahh he is a doctor in this hospital “ , Erica lied and that was a low blow.
Did she despise me that much.

“Ohh is that so sis. Well doctor I should tell you that I have always had a crush
on you and now you being in this room with me makes my nana jump a lil bit”, Kassie
winked as she was flirting with me.

“You just got out of a comma and you already want to get laid. Let me go and call
the doctor ” . Erica seemed not to like her sister’s flirtations.

“Wait, I thought you said that he is the doctor “ , Kassie raised her eyebrows and
Erica started to bite her finger nails.

“Well uhm yeah he is the sup.. the doctor and now I am going to call doctor cooper
who is his supervisor “ .Erica laughed nervously.

“Ohh and why are you in a wheelchair? Wait I hope you didn’t sell your kidneys to
afford this ward”. Kassie was now getting curious.

“No I didn’t sell my kidneys besides you are not that special sis”, Erica giggled
try to end their conversation.

“So if you didn’t sell your kidneys then why are you on a wheelchair?”, Kassie was
seeing right through her sister’s lies.

“Well I got tired of standing so I asked for the wheelchair “ Erica was starting to
get annoyed.

“So they also gave you the hospital gown? And the patient band” , now Kassie was
agitated.

“Kassie! I am sick ok. I didn’t want to tell you but I haven’t been feeling well
after I donated blood to you” Erica started to cry.

“Now please take some rest . I am getting discharged now and I will see you after I
have freshened up” she signaled that I wheel her out of the room.

“Wait I thought you said he is a doctor “. Kassie asked curiously.

“He’s my doctor not yours fool”

After Erica was discharged I took her home. I asked Patricia to bathe her nicely
and gave her some fresh clothes. We were now at the dining table having dinner.

“How long will you keep lying to her?” , I asked while shoving a drumstick down my
throat.

“Lie to who?”
“Don’t act dumb with me Erica. Kassie will be discharged soon and where will she
stay. “ I was concerned.

“She will stay at my previous place “ , Erica wasn’t even putting a lot of thought
into this conversation.

“Without you?”

“Lemme cross that bridge when I get there Michael “, she continued to eat.

“How about we cross that bridge now as couple?” I was trying to be civil.

“Need I remind you that this is a one year contract marriage?”, she said with a bit
of an attitude while staring deadly into my eyes.

“No, you don’t have to “

“Good now worry about Fiona’s bosoms and leave me and my problems. Anyway I just
lost my appetite “ she stood up and cat walked to her room.

Am I crazy? . Why did I talk to Michael like that?. What is wrong with me?. But
Michael was right though, what am I going to tell Kassie when she gets discharged.
Where will my baby sister stay?. I have to think of something and that too
urgently. I was feeling tired so I decided to jump inside the bed and my stomach
started growling. I don’t know why I lied about losing my appetite.

The bedroom door opened , I knew it was Michael so I pretended to be asleep.

“Erica I know you are awake “ his harsh voice scared me . I immediately woke up and
sat on the bed.

“If you ever , I mean ever talk to me like you are crazy, I am going to show you
that I am crazier “ he didn’t sound angry but his voice was calm with alfa
authority.

I just burst out into tears.

“I don’t know what came over me I am sorry. I am usually obedient and this was not
me”

“Sh sh it’s okay. “ did he just say that?

I must be dreaming. The old Michael would have slapped me back to my senses.

“Well ok then , I will sleep now ha ha” I laughed nervously as I laid my head on
the bed.

“I brought you some food “

I quickly jumped up and my eyes glistened when I saw the tray in his hand. It was 4
slices of pizza but with extra cheese and they were preheated. Ohh I love me some
cheese. I grabbed the tray and started to eat.

“And I thought you said , you lost your appetite “ he smirked and I knew he was
mocking me.

“Where is the juice?” I looked around and he flashed a bottle of mineral water.

“Water?”. I looked at him like he is crazy.

“Yes and you have to be healthy for the babies so no sodas for you baby “

I smiled, I am glad to see him happy. I immediately stopped smiling as the thought
of us not being a real relationship crossed my mind. I cleared my throat.

“Well thanks for the food, I will sleep now “. I said coldly as I went back to bed.

“What did I do we now” he sounded concerned.

“Nothing, the babies uhm the doctor said I should get much rest.”

I am in love with Erica or I am crazy because there is no way . I just met her and
how can I be in love with her. No no no! I took my phone and called Dylan. He
answered on the third ring breathing heavily.

“Man you have the worst timing ever , I was about to reach my orgasm”. He shouted.

“Is this sexual frustration?”, I mocked him.

“No it’s orgasm frustration” he clicked his tongue.

“Man I am sorry but it is important. I think I am in love with Erica man”. I

brushed my head.

Dylan laughed a little. “So you are telling me that you called me in the middle of
my steamy hot love making session, to tell me that you love a girl that you
married, that you live with . Are you crazy?”.

“No man I really love he……”.

“Da da da da da uhhhh stop. I mean she lives with you so go and tell her. I am not
the one you should be expressing your feelings to man bye.” He hung up the phone
after cutting me off.

I went to my room to get some sleep . Through out the night I was dreaming about
Erica. I woke up the next morning and freshened up, I had to meet up with my boys
for breakfast. After getting dressed, I went to the kitchen and found my wife , I
mean Erica Busy cooking .
“Good morning and I am sorry for yesterday “, ohhh she was back to being the
obedient Erica who is apologetic.

“It’s okay but what are you doing in the kitchen so early in the morning “, I said
staring directly into her sparkling eyes.

“Ohh I am mmmh (clears throat) making breakfast for you and Fiona , isnt she
usually comes here “

“No she no longer comes here , you may go to bed now” she nodded and left for her
room.

“Patricia clear this up and don’t disturb my wife. Only go to her to bathe her and
feeding her. Feed her atleast three times “.

She nodded and I left for Candy cafe. I found my boys already in the cafeteria
waiting for me.

“If it isn’t Mr lover lover” tyler and Dylan laughed hysterically.

“Stop with the unfunny jokes Tyler “ I sat down while sighing heavily.

“But seriously man who calls another man in the middle of the night to confess his
feelings?”
They both laughed again.

“Guys it’s my first time okay please give me a break. I am dreaming of the girl and
she is living rent free in my mind . I find myself thinking about her , her vagina
(I was drooling) her loi….(they cut me off)”

“Woah woah man too much info “… said Dylan shaking his head.

“No like seriously we get it, you are in love with her. Please express your
feelings to her” well that was Tyler with his ingenious ideas.

“What if she rejects me ?” Dylan and Tyler looked at me like I am crazy while
holding in their laugh. They burst out in laughter.

“Wait , so you are telling us that Mr billionaire rizzer , the one who said money
can make any girl for him is afraid that a poor girl might reject him?” they burst
out in laughter.

“Yes plus I might have done things to her that I regret very badly “.

“Ohhh you hit her didn’t you?” , Tyler’s jaw dropped

“Man how could you do that? Dylan talk to him man before I punch him in the face “
he picked his cup up and took a sip.

“I am sorry but the chances of that girl staying in the marriage are Zero “. Dylan
did not hesitate to take a jab at me also.

I laid my head on the table in embarrassment until my phone rang. I took it out and
I was surprised by the caller. My face lit up and I started to blush.

“Are you going to answer that?” Dylan asked.

I answered the phone on the third ring.

“Hey Erica”

“Hello sir I hope this is not a bad time”.

“Of course not. What do you want?”

“I am craving for the Mc Donald’s milkshake and some kfc dunked wings. Ohh before I
forget my sister is getting discharged tomorrow I might be moving out of the house
“. My face suddenly dropped.

“What why? Can’t you guys stay with me”

“No , there are a few mon… you know what we will discuss this when you comeback “.

“Ok if you say so”

“Don’t forget my food “ she said giggling

“Ok” I dropped the call and sighed

“You were right Dylan… erica will never love me”.

💧ERICA’s POV💧

Why does life have to be complicated like this. Only if Michael loved me enough to
ask me to stay with him forever. I hate leaving him, I was starting to like him. I
am crazy to think that a handsome billionaire like will ever love me. Maybe going
to stay with my baby sis will help me to detach from him. I can’t keep him out of
my mind and it’s frustrating.

After a long day at work, I rushed back him with Erica’s food. I found Patricia
seated alone at the dining table looking exhausted.

“Hey pat where is my wife” , I asked while putting my bags on the couch.

“She is in her room sir” she said yawning

“Uh uh why do you look exhausted, what have you been doing “ I asked curiously.

“Sir , is it not your wife?” She clapped her hands dramatically. “I have been
running up and down tending to her demands , did I not tire?. She is acting like
she is pregnant or something “.

“Why are you saying she is pregnant?” I wanted to laugh but I maintained my
composure.

“Sir I’m not saying that she is pregnant but the way that girl has been eating is
strange. I cooked five times today for one person only. “ I could see the tiredness
in her eyes.
“Okay go and rest “ I said heading upstairs to see Erica and give her her food.

I opened the room and she was laying on her bed butt naked. I walked over to her
side of the bed because I wanted to surprise her . She slowly opened her eyes
before I could reach her and jumped out of the bed screaming.

“Plea please don’t hurt me Mr Michael “ tears trickled down her cheeks, while urine
streamed down her right leg. My heart sunk to my stomach because I had instilled
this fear in her.

“Shhhh” I gently put the food on the bed and stretched out my hands to her.

“I am never going to hurt you , I just brought you your food . See” I said pointing
at the takeaways.

She slowly walked over to me and gave me a tight hug. I heard her sniffing and I
gently rubbed her back.

“I didn’t mean to scare you “ I held her shoulders gently and made her sit on the
bed.

I took a fleece and covered her since she was naked.I gave her the food and her
eyes lit up.

“I I didn’t think you would actually bring it for me” she stammered and began to
devour her food.

“I always keep my promises” she smiled and continued eating.

“Well this is my queue to leave.” I stood up …..

🌝NARRATION🌝

“Wait” Michael turned to look at Erica.

“My sister is getting discharged tomorrow. So what is the way forward for us , I
mean your baby” she said fiddling with her hands.

“Erica, leaving this house is unnecessary. This house is big enough to accommodate
your sister.” Michael sat down and held Erica’s hands.

“It is big yes but what will I tell her .. I don’t want her to bond with you
because our marriage will be ending soon “ a year escaped her eye.

“Erica look….” Michael took a deep sigh and Erica interrupted him.

“No Mr Michael I have to go. I’m leaving tonight “

🔥MICHAEL 🔥
She can’t leave. She has to be here with me.

“Erica, it seems like you are forgetting something “

“What is it” she asked curiously.

“Erica our marriage agreement states that you are to leave this house only if the
contract gets terminated .” I said with a smirk.

“What is that supposed to mean Michael “ ohh so now it’s no longer Mr Michael.

“Well that means if you leave now , you will be owing me about two hundred
thousand dollars and by the look of things , you don’t have a penny to your name.
Now scoot over I want to lay down “.Her mouth hung open.

“You are sleeping here ?” She asked in a high pitched voice.

“We are married aren’t we?” She got off the bed and took her fleece.

“And where do you think you are going?”

“To sleep in the sitting room. I mean the marriage contract didn’t mention that we
shouldn’t fight as a married couple “ She’s smart I like it. I hope that she will
wake up with some sense tomorrow .

I had started to like Michael until he reminded me what kind of a monster he is . I

thought that having his babies will change his mind but I was wrong. I slept on the
couch. As chilly as it was and uncomfortable, I had to manage it. I woke up the
next day , my whole body aching. I decided to go to the garden area in order to
relax myself a bit…..

lounge. I passed by the kitchen and I didn’t see Erica neither was she at the
lounge. I asked the house helpers but they claimed to not have seen her. I hope
that she didn’t runaway with my children because I would kill her on sight. I took
an apple from the house and headed to the hospital, maybe she went to get her
sister. I arrived at the hospital and they said she hadn’t shown up there. I signed
Kassie’s discharge papers and told them that I would pick her up after work.

💧ERICA💧

I spent the entire day at the back yard undisturbed. It was now dark when I woke up
. I packed up my blankets and took them the house and it hit me that I had to pick
up my sister today. I rushed to the lounge and found Michael pacing up and down.
Hey I said in a low voice and he charged towards me and slapped so hard that I fell
on the couch.
“You haven’t been answering your phone and you just come now you dirty slut. “ he
was furious.

“Wh what did I do” , I asked trembling.

“You have the nerve to ask me rubbish, I will deal with you Today “ , Ricky one of
the guards came in with the tray I had forgotten outside.

“Mam I brought the tray , I hope you won’t be spending anymore time outside “

I just looked at him and nodded then turned around to go to my room. When I opened
the door , I found fiona inside with Kassie. I was confused upon seeing Fiona but
delighted to see my little sister. I rushed to her to give her an embrace but she
stood up and slapped. I was in awe .

“Don’t you dare hug me” Kassie said backing away from me.

“What do you mean, why are you saying that sister “ really I was confused.

“You dare call me sister. What kind of sister choose to go and sleep with men
rather than being there to get your sister discharged?” I could see the hurt in her
eyes and I smiled because I had an explanation for her.

“I just dozed off in the back yard. I love you so much “ I said touching her
shoulders but she yanked my hands off.

“Oh please stop it . Fiona and Michael told me the truth and yeah from now on I’ll
be staying here with them… you can go to that wretched house and suffer alone if
you like.” I felt a sting in my heart . Why would Michael do this and lie to my
sister about me. He knows that Kassie is my weakness.

“And yeah they told me that you didn’t want me to stay here with them. How could
you be this heartless. Get out of this room”

I didn’t want to argue or anything, I just took my hurting soul out of the room and
I could see fiona smirking.

🔥MICHAEL 🔥

“Wait Ricky , what do you mean by she won’t be spending time outside “ I said
calmly as the curiosity was killing.

“Sir she has been in the backyard the whole day and I have been getting food for
her . So I wanted to know if she was done staying outside “

“Ohh no” I put my hands on my face and sighed deeply.

What have I done?

FLASHBACK

If Erica wants to play hard to get , I will show her. I hope that she doesn’t do
anything stupid while carrying my kids. I got a notification from fiona , I was at
the office.

“So you left for this whore , who sucks other men’s dicks while carrying your
babies” there was a video attachment underneath the text.
I watched the video and I was both angry and disgusted. Erica is going to pay for
this. I called Fiona and asked her to pickup Kassie (Erica’s sister) she is going
to be a pawn in my game. Erica loves her sister so much and I wonder what she will
do if Kassie starts hating her.

END OF FLASHBACK

Lemme rush to her room before they say anything to Erica.

🔥MICHAEL 🔥

I ran to Erica’s room and found Fiona with Kassie.

“Where is my wife “ I asked anxiously…

“You know you really surprise me Michael. At first she’s a slut , now it’s your
wife “ she dramatically clapped her hands.

“Fiona you deceived me and…” I was in middle of shouting and I saw Kassie coiling
up in a corner in fear so I stopped.

I went to Kassie and held her shoulders and made her stand.

“I didn’t mean to scare you Kassie “ I tried to speak in a soft calm manner.

“D…d…did I hear correctly, my sister is your wife?” She swallowed hard

I nodded and she smiled.

“Now please go and find your sister for me “

She exited the room and I was left with the devil I know. I went over to her and
grabbed her by her arm and pinned her against the wall. She smirked.

“Why are you so evil Fiona?” I furiously asked while pressing my hand against her
neck.

“Because you are mine and mine alone Michael. That witch can’t have “… she said
smiling as she was enjoying the process.

“I’m not yours anymore fiona “ I said tightening my grip around her neck

“Ohh chock me dzaddy I like it” I felt defeated by her psychotic behavior and I let
her go.

Just then, Kassie came in running and panting.

“I can’t find my sister anywhere “ I felt like someone had punched me into my
guts.

“Fiona you better hope nothing happened to my wife and kids” fiona became
dumbstruck.
“Ki..ki..kids” (she said falling down to the floor with tears rolling down her
cheeks. ) “I was supposed to have your kids” she sobbed.

“She she is pregnant “ she said remembering how she slapped and pushed her against
the wall.

I stormed out of the room and started to look for Erica. I dialed her number but it
was unreachable. I drove over to her house and knocked on the door and no one
answered. I looked through the windows and it appeared that nobody has been there
in a while. I went back to the house and found Fiona with Kassie in the lounge.

“Fiona you better leave my house before I do something I would regret “ I said
sitting down.

“Michael look…” I raised my hand, interrupting her. I signaled one of the guards to
throw her out. I laid on the couch to calm down a bit.

💧ERICA💧

I woke up in the morning in one of the worker’s quarters. I was hurt by how people
treated me the previous day. I am human too , I have feelings. I sacrificed
everything for Kassie and this is how she treats me. Ricky walked in and I quickly
wiped away my tears.

“Mam I brought your breakfast “, Ricky has been helpful to me and I hope to repay
him one day. He is cute too.

“Thank you Ricky and please call me Erica” I said in a crooked voice.

“Mam you have been crying “ he put the tray next to me and gave me a hug. Ohhh that
smell, he smells so good.

“My mom told me that I give the warmest hugs and they make people feel better “ he
said wiping the tears that I didn’t notice had fallen from my eyes. We locked eyes
for a moment until I cleared my throat.

“I hope you will be comfortable, I have to go to work now “ he said standing.

“Wait Ricky , remember no one has to know that I am here okay “ he nodded and went
to open the door.

“Ok please order dunked wings and a smoothie for me please “ I said while making
puppy eyes.

“Mam I don’t have money with me” he showed me the inside of his pockets.

“That’s okay use this card and get yourself something as well “ he grinned and left
the room.

I ate my breakfast and went back to bed , I was going to have a bath later. Good
thing that these head quarters have in suits.

🔥MICHAEL 🔥
I sat in the lounge, questioning my sanity as Erica's unmistakable fragrance
wafted through the air. I scanned the room, spotting Ricky heading to the kitchen.

"Ricky!" I called.

"Yes, sir?" He bowed his head.

The scent grew stronger, intoxicating me.

"Is my wife in the backyard again?" My tone was laced with unease.

Ricky stuttered, "Uh, no, not today."

I chuckled. "You seem nervous. You can go."

Ricky nodded, rising to his feet.

"Wait," I said, curiosity piqued. "That's a feminine fragrance you're wearing,

similar to my wife's. Where did you get it?"

Ricky's swallow was audible, his sweat visible.

"Uh, you know how women like their men to smell good these days," he stammered.

I shook my head, dismissing his weak excuse. "You can go."

NARRATIVE

Erica stayed with Ricky for three days, grateful for the peaceful sanctuary. Ricky
ensured her needs were met, bringing her favorite foods and keeping her company.

But Michael's patience wore thin. He scoured the house, searched the neighborhood,
and questioned Kassie, Erica's sister.
Undeterred, Michael scrutinized their finances. A pattern emerged: daily
transactions at McDonald's, near Ricky's quarters. The purchases were small, but
the location was telling. Michael reviewed his credit card statement, noticing
recurring transactions at McDonald's and KFC. Erica's favorite cravings.

A hint of a smile played on his lips.

"James, review the security footage," Michael instructed his butler.

James nodded discreetly.

Within hours, James returned.

"Sir, Ricky has been making these purchases, always paying with your card."

Michael's eyes narrowed.

"Ricky's been helping Erica," he muttered.

A mix of emotions swirled within him.

A nagging suspicion solidified into certainty(i hope she hasn’t been cheating on me
with a servant). He ordered James to summon Ricky.

Michael's eyes locked onto Ricky, his usually composed guard now fidgeting.

"Ricky, we need to talk," Michael said, his voice low and deliberate.

Ricky hesitated before following Michael to his study.

"Sir?" Ricky asked, his tone cautious.

Michael's gaze pinned Ricky.

"I know about Erica. She's hiding here, in the mansion."

Ricky's expression remained neutral, but his eyes betrayed a flicker of guilt.

"Where is she?" Michael pressed.

Ricky's silence was telling.

"Ricky, I swear on our children's lives, I won't harm her. I love her."

Ricky's resolve crumbled.

"Sir, she's...scared. Please understand."

Michael's heart ached.

"Take me to her."

Ricky led Michael through hidden corridors, stopping at a discreet door.

"Sir, please be patient."

Michael nodded.

EPISODE 20

Michael's Confession

Erica's eyes widened as Michael entered the hidden room. She had prepared herself
for anger, for control, but not for this.

"Erica, my love...I'm sorry," Michael whispered, his voice trembling.

Erica's guard faltered. "Michael, what are you talking about?"

Michael's gaze locked onto hers, vulnerable and sincere.

"I was blind, Erica. I suffocated you with my fear of losing you. But I realize
now, I love you. Truly love you."

Erica's breath caught. She had longed to hear these words, but had given up hope.
"Michael, I...I don't know what to say," Erica stuttered.

Michael's hands cradled her face, his touch gentle.

"Say you'll give me another chance, Erica. Say you'll let me prove my love."

Tears streamed down Erica's face. She had dreamed of this moment, but feared it was
too good to be true.

"Michael, how can I trust you?" Erica asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Michael's eyes pleaded.

"Because I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it right. To be the husband

you deserve."

Erica's heart swelled. Could she truly trust Michael?

"Michael, I want to believe you," Erica said, her voice laced with caution.

Michael's face contorted in anguish.

"Erica, my love, I swear on our children's lives, I'll do everything to regain your
trust."

Erica's gaze softened.

"Prove it, Michael. Show me."

Michael's lips curled into a determined smile.

"I will, Erica. Starting now."

With gentle reverence, Michael wrapped his arms around Erica, holding her close.

For the first time in months, Erica felt safe.

As they embraced, Ricky discreetly slipped away, a smile on his face.

A new beginning unfolded.

Days passed, and Michael's actions spoke louder than words.

He attended prenatal appointments, held Erica's hand through contractions, and

whispered reassurances.

Erica's heart began to heal.

One evening, as they strolled through the mansion's gardens, Michael stopped Erica.

"Erica, from now on, this mansion is our sanctuary, not your prison."

With a sweep of his arm, Michael revealed a renovated wing.

"A space for you, our children, and your passions."

Tears streamed down Erica's face.

"Michael, it's beautiful."

Michael's eyes shone.

"For you, my love, forever."

Erica and Michael were ecstatic about their twin babies. But amidst the joy,
darkness lurked.

Fiona, Michael's ex, sought revenge. She manipulated Kassie, Erica's sister.

"You're just like me, Kassie," Fiona whispered. "Erica thinks she's better than us.
She's stolen Michael from me, and now she's going to ruin your life."

Kassie's eyes widened, absorbing Fiona's poisonous words.

As Erica's pregnancy progressed, her cravings intensified.

"Michael, I need pizza...with extra cheese...and pickles!" Erica exclaimed.

Michael chuckled. "What's next? Ice cream and strawberries?"

But behind the scenes, Kassie's anger boiled over. Fiona's manipulation consumed
her.

"You're next," Kassie whispered, her eyes locked onto Erica.

One evening, Michael confided in Dylan and Tyler.

"Guys, I'm losing my mind," Michael said, exasperated. "Erica's cravings are
insane."

Dylan chuckled. "That's just pregnancy, man."

Tyler nodded. "And it's twins, bro. Double the trouble."

As the gender reveal party approached, Kassie's darkness deepened.

"Congratulations, Erica," Kassie said, her voice laced with sarcasm.

Erica sensed tension but remained oblivious to Kassie's true intentions.

Fiona watched from afar, a sinister smile spreading across her face.

"This is it," Fiona thought. "My revenge is finally here."

The day of the gender reveal party arrived, and Erica was bursting with excitement.

"Today's the day!" Erica exclaimed, hugging Michael.

Michael smiled, handing Erica a glass of juice.

"Cheers to finding out if we're having boys or girls!"

Unbeknownst to Erica, Kassie had laced the juice with a harmful substance.

As Erica took a sip, Kassie's eyes locked onto her, a sinister glint in her eye.

Fiona watched from afar, her smile growing wider.

"This is it," Fiona thought. "Kassie's going to take care of Erica once and for
all."

Erica began to feel dizzy, her vision blurring.

"Michael, I don't feel right," Erica whispered, clutching her stomach.

Michael's expression turned concerned.

"What's wrong, baby?"

But before he could react, Erica collapsed.

Kassie's eyes sparkled with triumph.

"It's done," Kassie whispered, her phone buzzing with a text from Fiona.

"Perfect execution, Kassie," Fiona's message read. "Now, let's finish the job."
