HIRED WIFE

” Leave me alone, I don’t want you to carry me again!.. mummy Sophie said that you are a bad person and that you want to take daddy away from her so that he will send both of us away from this house” Angie said eyeing Tessy in a way that gets me very worried for my daughter’s innocent heart

I understand that Sophie is only trying to mislead Angie in other to use her against Tessy and I but I wasn’t liking this one bit

“.. she also told me that you are an hired mother who wants to harm me and daddy so I should stay far away from you or else she will not talk to me again… I don’t want my real mummy to stop talking to me, so please leave my daddy alone and go away from us” Angie concluded as she ran out of the door leaving me and Tessy in a state of shock and dilemma.

For a few minutes, I still stood transfixed at the spot speechless after Angie left the room.

Tessy on the other hand slowly went to sit on the bed, she was equally speechless for some minutes unable to fathom what went wrong with Angie for her to say such spiteful things, but for me I already knew that Sophie is behind everything

” don’t let your thoughts wander too much Tess, it’s clearly Sophie who is trying to instigate Angie to hate you… God! that woman is so shameless that it’s stinks!” I said pacing around the room

” Yes Ton, I do know that but I’m kind of speechless .. I can’t believe a mother can actually instigate a child as young as Angie to say or do bad.. I understand that she views me as a home wrecker but hearing it from Angie’s mouth, makes it hurt differently!” Tessy replied and I stopped pacing around

” Tess that’s exactly what she wants! Sophie knows already that you love Angie as you would love your own daughter.. she knows that you would be more hurt and moved by Angie’s words, hence she’s trying to use my daughter for her selfish gains… But don’t worry Tess I will fix this today, enough is enough!” I said slowly pacing around again

” Ton maybe you should just let everything be the way they are, at least for Angie’s sake… I’ve realized that somehow Angie is right, yes I do know she loves me as a mother, but she loves and needs her real mother the most… so please let her be Ton!” Tessy pleaded looking at me but my mind is already made up, I can’t take this anymore

” I’m sorry Tess but I won’t let everything be as they are when it is clearly inconveniencing me… even though Sophie is Angie’s real mother, she is clearly a bad influence on my daughter and you know what? I refuse to be manipulated by her.. besides you two women are all the same in deceit so please excuse me!” I concluded as I took my phone on the stand where I kept it and walked out of the vistors bedroom, on my way to the bedroom Sophie stays.

Before reaching the bedroom I made sure my phone was kept in a voice recording mode, since Sophie wants to be playing games with Tessy and I using Angie, I need to be extra careful

When I finally reached the door of the bedroom, I angrily opened it without knocking

I came in to see Sophie putting on a towel sitting on the chair that faces the dressing mirror on the wall, seems she had just finish taking a shower

” you should have at least knocked Tony… what if I was naked? it’s not like I would have mind since you’ve actually seen my bare body several times over and over again.. and I believe your hired wife wouldn’t mind either” Sophie said looking at me romantically

” Don’t you have some shame Sophie? you don’t need to answer that because I know that you lost it a long time ago!.. Anyways I’m not here for that, what exactly are you trying to do with my daughter Angie?”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

” You talk like Angie isn’t my daughter too.. I am her mother so I share equal rights to her, I can do whatever I want to do with our daughter Tony.. so if that’s why you are here, then I’m sorry but I have no answer for you” Sophie answered shrugging and I stood there looking at her in amusement

” Wow! you are now claiming entitlement to a daughter whom you never cared for?… Sophie you kept depriving Angie of every motherly love she needed at an early age, almost every single year our daughter kept begging for your attention, time, calls and visits yet you turned her down and made it seem like she was asking for too much…” I vented out in anger, paused to take a deep breath and then continued

“… Sophie you deprived us here in Nigeria but rather you were unrepentantly frolicking with your lovers in the States while you kept using work as a cover up!.. for close to five years Sophie you kept prioritizing your work more than us, only for me to find out that it was actually your lover and bosses that you had prioritize and choosen over us” I retorted scoffing in disgust

” That’s not true Tony.. Forget what Benny said yesterday, he actually lied against me.. he is blackmailing me and wants to soil my reputation in front of you because of the one night stand we had at the States when I was drunk.. you know me too well that I can never cheat on you with my right senses intact” Sophie said standing up to walk towards me and in the process of doing so, her towel fell to the floor
