Episode 22
Thirty Minutes later, Vivian had eaten and was close to her normal self, It was already getting abit dark and she was ready to go back to the hotel that she lodged in.
I was trying my possible best to keep her there till Kelvin and Kola arrive.
I brought up topics for discussion some boring, some interesting, well it worked cos we were still talking when Kelvin showed up with Kola closely behind him.
It looked like Vivian was doing better than him, he was looking so weak.
âKel, what took you so longâ i asked, when they got close.
âLagos trafficâ he said to me and turned to Vivian âAngel, how are you doingâ
Vivian turned to answer him, cos they were standing behind her and she realized that Kelvin was not alone.
âWhat are you doing hereâ she shouted at Kola.
He didnât say a word nor moved an inch, he just stood glued on the spot. I tried to hold Vivianâs hand to calm her down but she withdrew her hand.
I looked at Kola once more, he wasnât in a good state.
The power of a woman!
A young and radiant Billionaire looking so weak and speechless all because of a woman.
âAngel, calm down, people are watching, i know he owes you an apology but atleast give him a listening earâ Kelvin said gently
âI donât care if the whole world is watching, he should just get out of here and never come backâ
âV, calm down, look at him, he isnât doing any better than you, you both are in a bad stateâ I said calmly taking her hands in mine.
For the first time she actually looked at him closely even though it was getting dark, his bad physical condition wasnât had to notice.
âI donât careâ she said and snatched her hands from mine.
âthen do it for your unborn childâ Kelvin said to her and she became calm and before one could say âJackâ she started crying.
Kelvin came close and began patting her, she soon stopped crying loudly.
âLetâs go to my house, too many people are watching usâ Kelvin led her to his car without any resistance from her and he drove off while Kola and I took my car.
Once inside the car, Kola was quiet and not in a talking mood, he was in a pitiful state but i was curious.
âHave you eaten anything yetâ i asked and he shook his head sideways meaning âNoâ
âI thought something bad had happened to her, i was in a state of panic, i only realized that she moved out without informing me when i checked the wardrobe and one of her bag was gone, i tried to call her but her phone was switched off, am happy that she is safeâ he finally said with a shaky voice.
âWhy didnât you tell her that you were marriedâ i asked and he looked at me puzzled.
âWas that what she told youâ he asked me.
âwell, she said she answered your call and before she could say a word the person on the other line said that your kids are ill and your attention is neededâ
âI know that but what i donât know is why she thinks that i have another wifeâ
âitâs only a man with a wife that will have kidsâ i said sharply.
âItâs a long story but i donât have another wife, although i have kids, but Vivian is the only woman i love and will ever love, as for the call, It was my sister that called from the family house where the kids stay, i knew the number off hand thatâs why i didnât bother saving it, I wish i had saved it, she would have known the callerâ
âhow many kidsâ i asked out of curiosity
âtwo, twins, she has seen them but she didnât know they were my kidsâ
âhow did the kids come, if you werenât marriedâ
âLong story, i will explain laterâ
âSweetheart, i am so sorry please forgive meâ
Kola was now on his knees in the sitting room pleading with the angry Vivian while Kelvin and i stood aside watching them.
âWhy didnât you tell me about themâ she asked sternly.
âI was in love with you and i was scared of losing youâ he explained.
âyou have another wife Kola! There is no excuse for your actionâ
Kola looked momentarily at Kelvin and I before turning to Vivian once more.
âI donât have another wifeâ
âbut you have kidsâ she asked
âyesâ he replied and lowered his head.
âwho gave birth to them, was it a man?â she shouted at him angrily.
âa woman but she is dead nowâ he said loudly.
I looked at Kelvin with shock but his facial expression was blank meaning he knew about it. Vivian also became quiet.
âshe was my girlfriend, we were planning to get married, i loved her or rather i was dazzled by her beauty, but i didnât know she was after my money, when she met a richer man after giving birth to the twins, she abandoned them with me and leftâ
âhow did she dieâ i found myself asking before i realized what i was doing.
âshe died during childbirth for her new manâ
I felt pity for him, he has been through alot, i looked at Vivian, what he said affected her but she didnât want to show it, i knew her too well, she was the stubborn type.
I went closer and joined Kola in begging her.
âV, please forgive and forgetâ
