β€ŽMy husband has been bringing me breakfast in bed every day for three years until I noticed the slight bitter taste. I bought a testing kit. The results? Let's just say, he's not the person I thought he was.
β€Ž
β€ŽThe next morning before Chukwuma left the house, he brought my breakfast in bed as usual.
β€Ž
β€ŽBy the time I took a bite from the food, I realized it had a bitter taste but I was so hungry I didn't care how it tasted.
β€Ž
β€ŽA few minutes later, I received a call from my husband.
β€Ž
β€ŽI wondered why he called me, could it be that my uncle had sacked him? The thought went on for a few minutes before I picked up the call.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Hello, my love, why are you calling me? Have you gotten to the office?" I questioned him.
β€Ž
β€ŽHe let out a deep breath before answering me.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Ebele, please, one question at a time..." He complained.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Okay, I'm sorry...Are you in the office?"
β€Ž
β€Ž"Yeah, I'm in the office and I'm yet to see your uncle..." He reported, sounding tired of waiting for Mr Ezenwa.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Since my uncle is not yet in the office, you can as well start the day with the task assigned to you..." I suggested.
β€Ž
β€ŽHe chuckled on the phone, "That reminds me, I have a lot of files on my table...I need to get back to work. Bye my love"
β€Ž
β€Ž"Bye, my love..." The call ended.
β€Ž
β€ŽAt the office, Chukwuma was known to be very hardworking.
β€Ž
β€ŽAlthough, he shared the same office space with the human resources manager, he ensured he didn't encroach on his partner's business dealings.
β€Ž
β€ŽMr Ezenwa arrived shortly and asked his secretary to fetch him.
β€Ž
β€ŽMary was a tantalizing secretary who offered only a brief smile and cryptic messages that left her colleagues in awe.
β€Ž
β€Ž"This one go gree make man chase her at all..." Her colleagues whispered whenever they saw her coming.
β€Ž
β€ŽMary moved toward Chukwuma's office. She turned the doorknob and opened the door.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Mr Chuks, the Boss wants to see you right now in his office..." She announced, peeking through the door to the room.
β€Ž
β€ŽHe raised his head to look at Mary who had already left.
β€Ž
β€Ž"At last that fierce-looking man has arrived, let me go and find out why he wants to see me..." He rose from his leather chair and moved out of the office to Mr Ezenwa's office.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Good morning, Mr Ezenwa, I heard you want to see me..." He said, still standing opposite Mr Ezenwa.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Yeah, please, sit down..." He said, smiling at him.
β€Ž
β€ŽChukwuma pulled out the chair and sat on it, placing his arms on the table.
β€Ž
β€ŽMr Ezenwa cleared his throat and then continued to speak instinctively.
β€Ž
β€Ž"You see, the human resources manager has been transferred to the branch office, so I will want you to be the next human resources manager..."
β€Ž
β€ŽChukwuma's eyes opened wide in disbelief.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Sir, I thought the promotion should go to the assistant human resources manager."
β€Ž
β€ŽMr Ezenwa smirked, "Young man, you deserve to be promoted.."
β€Ž
β€ŽAs Chukwuma gave the idea more thought, a feeling of unease settled over him.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Anyway, I'm grateful sir...." He said, casually.
β€Ž
β€ŽMr Ezenwa grinned, "Mmmm, you're welcome...My in-law"
β€Ž
β€ŽThe moment Chukwuma left Mr Ezenwa's office, he banged the table in anger.
β€Ž
β€Ž"I wish he didn't catch me with my secretary smooching... He's just a lowlife who is opportuned to marry my niece, he doesn't deserve the promotion...Hmmm, I will deal with him," He grumbled.
β€Ž
β€ŽThen the door opened, and it was the secretary.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Sir, is there anything you want me to do for you?" She inquired, unbuttoning her shirt.
β€Ž
β€ŽMr Ezenwa couldn't take his eyes away as he gazed at her fresh b_reasts.

β€ŽMy husband has been bringing me breakfast in bed every day for three years until I noticed the slight bitter taste. I bought a testing kit. The results? Let's just say, he's not the person I thought he was.
β€Ž
β€ŽBy the time he returned, he saw me unclad and completely relaxed.
β€Ž
β€Ž"This one wey you no wear clothes? Am I safe?" He teased me with light, quick kisses while he joined me in bed.
β€Ž
β€ŽWhen he leaned in, I reciprocated by kissing him back with equal passion.
β€Ž
β€ŽThen, we heard a knock on the door, and he went to see who was at the door.
β€Ž
β€ŽHe sighed the moment he opened the door, "Cynthia, what do you want?"
β€Ž
β€ŽI listened closely to their conversation.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Sir, I'm done washing the plates," Cynthia told him.
β€Ž
β€ŽHe struggled to answer her, his nervous demeanor revealing his discomfort.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Okay, thank you..."
β€Ž
β€ŽCynthia tried to flaunt her curvy shape in that tight blue gown she wore as she continued to speak.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Is there any other thing you would want me to do?"
β€Ž
β€Ž"No, you can go back to your room..." I interrupted them, quickly covering my body with the bedspread.
β€Ž
β€ŽCynthia ran along the corridor to her room, while I reprimanded my husband.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Why were you looking at her hips? You pervert...."
β€Ž
β€Ž"Stop right there Ebele, I'm not your maid, I'm your husband..." He reacted calmly to the harsh criticism.
β€Ž
β€Ž"If you're my husband, then act like you're my husband, not like an emotionally immature boyfriend," I yelled at him.
β€Ž
β€Ž"I see you don't want me anymore...I need to step away for a moment" He said, leaving the bedroom.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Come back here Chukwuma...." I uttered authoritatively.
β€Ž
β€ŽImmediately, he left, I reached out to my phone and called my Mom.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Mom, Chukwuma just left the bedroom because we had a little misunderstanding."
β€Ž
β€Ž"Whatever happened in your marriage should be settled amicably. Don't involve a third party for some reason..." My Mom advised me.
β€Ž
β€Ž"But Mom he was...." She interrupted, "I don't want to hear what happened just apologize to your husband for peace to reign in your home..."
β€Ž
β€Ž"Alright, Mom, I will do as you've said..."
β€Ž
β€Ž"Okay, bye." She ended the call.
β€Ž
β€ŽI moved into the bathroom, had a quick shower, and then got dressed and moved out in search of my husband.
β€Ž
β€ŽThe moment I stepped out of the gate, I saw him leaning on a car.
β€Ž
β€Ž"My love, what are you doing here?" I asked, trying to hold his hand.
β€Ž
β€ŽI watched him concernedly, looking away as soon as he felt my eyes on her.
β€Ž
β€Ž"I'm annoyed that you called me a pervert."
β€Ž
β€Ž"Eya, I'm sorry for saying that, you know how I feel whenever Cynthia is with you..." I explained, holding him tight.
β€Ž
β€Ž"You should learn to control your emotions... From the look of things, she's not going anywhere anytime soon," Chukwuma advised.
β€Ž
β€Ž"I promise to control my emotions," I told him, this time embracing him.
β€Ž
β€ŽHe turned to look at my face, "And I promise to always serve you breakfast in bed no matter the weather...I love you" He said reassuringly.
β€Ž
β€Ž"I love you more..." I said, shyly, holding him close to me.
β€Ž
β€ŽUpon returning to the bedroom, I noticed several missed calls on my phone.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Honey, look, Mr Ezenwa has been calling on the phone..." I said to him, scrolling through the phone.
β€Ž
β€Ž"You have to call him back to know why he called..." My husband suggested, while he eased into the chair across the bedroom.
β€Ž
β€ŽI dialed his mobile number and felt a flood of relief when he picked up his call.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Ebele, I want to see your husband first thing tomorrow in my office," He echoed on the phone as if he was speaking from a large, empty hall.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Uncle, is there any problem?" I inquired closely.
β€Ž
β€ŽHe smirked and then answered, "No, there's no problem. I only want to discuss business with him."
β€Ž
β€ŽHe hung up almost immediately.
β€Ž
β€ŽI reached out to my husband, who was resting comfortably with a book, and passed the information to him.
β€Ž
β€Ž"Mr Ezenwa wants to see you first thing tomorrow morning in his office..."
β€Ž
β€Ž"Why does he want to see me?" He probed me for an answer, looking worried and anxious.
β€Ž
β€Ž"I don't know why he wants to see you..." I said, moving toward the closet.
β€Ž
β€ŽDo you think Mr Ezenwa has a hidden agenda?
