My Wife & I

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 13

---

Daniel looked straight as he

entered and met Alex’s hand

on Nora’s head. What’s this?

He widened his eyes as he

stepped inside. Nora quickly

pushed Alex’s hand away from

her head and took some steps

backward.

“Ooh.. Good evening, Sir.”

Alex stretched his hand to

exhange handshake with

Daniel.

Daniel pocketed his hand as

he gave him a long look. “Who

invited you here?”

“I just stretched my hand

and I expect you to shake me,

Sir.” Alex replied with a

question.

“You haven’t replied my

question, Mr.” Daniel said.

Alex shrugged. “Neither

have you answered mine, Sir.”

Daniel chuckled as he

stretched his hand forward

and shook him. “So, who

brought you here?” He

questioned. Nora just stood by

a side, her heart was beating

fast as she wondered what

would happen.

“Actually, Nora told me to

come along. She told me she

would like me to know her

house…” He smiled.

Daniel gave a faint smile as

he nodded. “Really?” He

teased.

“Sure, that’s it.”

“Ooh.. that’s great already.

You know here now, can you

please leave?” He still smiled.

“Really? I.. was I was just

about taking my leave when

you arrived.”

“You may take it properly,

now.” He smiled.

Alex walked out slowly.

Daniel heaved a sigh. Is this

true or what? She didn’t even

deny it, it automatically means

it is the truth! He had thought

as he took some steps and

began to walk inside the

house.

Nora was just short of

words, she didn’t know the

actual thing to do because she

was scared already. Should I

call him? She thought within

herself but found out she had

no courage to.

She dropped down on the

tiled floor and began to cry.

**

It was thirty minutes after,

Daniel was still on the

mattress, wondering what

could have happened. Who

knows if that’s the reason she

didn’t reply my message on

whatsapp? He wondered as

he dimmed his eyes and

breathed heavily consistently.

She didn’t deny, she couldn’t

come after me, she must have

really invited him! He

muttered. He rolled to the

other side of the mattress and

something dropped in his

mind. “Who changed this bed

cover?”

He had been on it for a

while but didn’t even notice it

had been changed. “Nora

changed it, no one else.” He

swooshed out a long breath

as he stood up from the

mattress to get his shirt off

himself. He walked to the

wardrobe and noticed some

of his dirty clothes had been

taken away, probably for

laundry. “Nora?” He

wondered.

Suddenly, he heard a noise.

It was from the gate. He

motioned to the curtains and

pulled it to a side, he could see

Nora with the gatekeeper. He

began to listen to their

conversations.

“I said you are sacked!” She

shouted.

“Please, I don’t know what I

have done.”

“You won’t know what you

have done, Mr man, you

won’t!”

“Please, Madam. Please.”

“Why did you open the gate

for that man? Why? You have

caused confusion in my house,

just leave!” She screamed

again, her voice had began to

break as if she would cry.

Daniel could feel the voice. It

seemed she was caught

unawares.

“Please Madam. He said you

work together with him in the

same company and you

instructed him to come.”

“To come where? To my

own husband’s house? He

doesn’t work in my company,

he just used that as a trick! He

saw me today and must have

traced me down to my house

here, I didn’t ask him to come!

You’re sacked!”

“Madam, please. I never

knew, I thought he was real.”

“You thought he was real?

Then this sack letter too is

real! Leave this house!” She

exclaimed.

Daniel began to link events

together. Alex must have

followed her, why did he lie?

Why couldn’t she oppose him

before me? Why didn’t she

come after me to tell me what

the truth was?

“Madam, I beg of you. Who

will be opening the gate for

you and Oga?”

“I can be my husband’s

gatekeeper, is it your

business? Leave!”

Daniel knew the truth

already. He picked up his shirt

and stormed downstairs. As

he got to the living room, he

met a key on the floor, exactly

where Alex stood when he

entered into the house.

“Whose key?” He wondered as

he picked it up. This doesn’t

matter right now.” He

muttered as he put it in his

pocket.

He got outside and walked

slowly.

“Don’t let me loose my

temper, just leave!” She had

started crying.

“Please Madam, I won’t do it

again. I wanted to ask, I

thought he was real.” The man

too was on his kneels already.

“Will you..” As she raised up

her hand to dismiss the

gatekeeper, she felt that a

hand held her hand and

another crossed her neck.

Daniel was already behind her,

crossing his right hand on her

neck as he held her firmly. “My

love.” He said.

Nora felt it was just a

dream. No! Nothing but a

dream! It can’t be Daniel! Dan

what? Daniel? It can’t… she

just kept muttering. It is

impossible! She kept

wondering.

“You may go inside your

own duty post.” Daniel said to

the gatekeeper as he took off

his hand and held Nora by her

two hands. “I called you my

love, but you haven’t replied

me, Sweetheart.” He added.

Nora just felt she was in

another world already. She

didn’t know what was

happening anymore. She

opened her mouth slightly but

didn’t know the actual word

to come out of it. She was just

dumbfounded.

“Da… Daniel?” She stuttered

as she still wondered if she

was seeing the right human

being.

Daniel chuckled. “So, are you

shocked or what exactly

should this be called?”

“Daniel?” She repeated, this

time pointing her index finger

at him.

“Nora, let’s just go inside. I

have a lot to discuss with

you.” He smiled faintly.

Nora was still in shock. That

was the least thing she could

ever expect! Daniel? She kept

muttering. They took just two

steps, on their way inside the

living room when the gate

was knocked slightly.

The two of them halted as

they watched the security man

rush out of his place to get the

gate. “What! You are not

wanted here!” The man

exclaimed as he peeped

through the gate and saw

Alex.

“I want to pick up my key, I

forgot the key to my house

here.”

“Who cares? You lied the

other time, what are you

doing here? Please, leave.”

“Let me pick up my keys,

man!” Alex bashed the gate

with pressure.

Daniel crossed his hand

over Nora’s neck again, then,

he smiled. “Get the gate

opened.”

The security man paused as

he heard that. He wondered if

it wouldn’t be a crime after

opening the gate for the

unwanted again.

“Sir?” He widened his eyes.

“Sure, open it.” Daniel

deliberately crossed his hand

over Nora for Alex to know he

was already fine with his wife.

As he stood, he was even

boiling because he had caused

pandemonium in his house

again.

“Nonsense!” Alex hissed at

the gatekeeper and walked in

slowly. Raising his head, he

saw Daniel and Nora. He halted

instantly. He was shocked, but

could he say it? How would it

sound to hearing to ask why

couple were standing in that

manner.

Daniel was already

indignant as he saw him. He

had thought in himself earlier

that if he had the chance of

seeing him again, he would

definitely beat the heaven out

of him.

He took off his hand from

Nora and took steps forward.

He was smiling, but deep

inside him, he was boiling in

anger. “Any problem?” He

enquired.

“I only forgot my keys.” Alex

stuttered as he replied. He was

definitely shocked to meet

both of them that way, he

never knew the two wouldn’t

quarrel after his departure.

Daniel took another step

and turned his fist as he blew

Alex mouth angrily. Alex fell

down instantly, rolling on the

floor. Daniel was still not

satisfied, he took some paces

near him again and knelt,

keeping Alex in between his

knees, he continued punching

him till Nora quickly came and

held him, hugging him from

behind.

Daniel calmed down

instantly, breathing heavily.

Thank God he could fulfill his

thoughts, he said happily as

he dipped his hand into his

pocket and threw Alex’s key at

him. “Lock that gate

immediately you throw him

out!” Daniel told the

gatekeeper as he walked

inside the house with Nora.

His hands were already

stained with blood.
