CHAPTER 8: YOU TRICKED ME.

In the morning Paul woke up before her. His brain turned in a whirl of thoughts as he remembered what happened. 'This can't be, true, why didn't l tell her?. I had planned on telling her that am married now!' He thought.

He woke up to go the bathroom when," Where are you going babe?, can we have another round of pleasure please!" Slyvia said. She was half-awake and Paul didn't give her a glaze he proceeded towards the bathroom. A few minutes later Slyvia walked to the bathroom door.

"Babe,...babe...a knock came on the bathroom door, can we bathe together,l want you to scrub my back you know," Slyvia said.

"Am sorry, am done bathing you will have to bath alone" Paul replied to her.

"Can you bath me then, as a doting husband please?" She said with a smile.

'Husband?, we are not married' Paul thought before replying to her. "No l need to go back home l have some errands to deal with.

Slyvia didn't persist again she went back and sat on the bed. Paul comes out, a towel tied around his waist. He embarrassingly bend and picked his clothes that were lying on the floor. The night memory came back and his ranging monster responded. He turned and went to the bathroom to get dressed. He was ashamed that he is repeating clothes? a whole him!.

When he came for her graduation he had not planned on spending a night in Eldoret but he didn't know what came to his mind. He wore his tuxedo again and come out of the bathroom.

"I have something to tell you Slyvia, something important so please don't give that look" his face was serious when he spoke.

"Are you marrying m...

"Sylvia stops butting in and listening to me carefully, Paul roared.

"Sylvia the thing is l am not marrying you ..beca....because ..Sylvia l am married now and l don't want to compromise my marriage...l wanted to tell you these yesterday but, but you never gave me a chance to," he said as he scratched his head.

"Also, l didn't want to alter your happiness and change the mood of graduation. I am sorry that this happened between l didn't mean to make love to you yesterday but you are the one who gave a go-ahead so l found myself giving in to my desires...am ...sorry once again".

"Haha haha haha...are you kidding me, Paul, after fu**king me hard and now these? You are breaking up with me with a made-up story of you are married...hahaha you don't have a wedding ring, you think you are going to fool me. I won't be fooled okay, now tell me handsome when are you going to propose to me?" Slyvia asked.

"You tricked me into it Slyvia...l never wanted to sleep with you"

"Ooooh really  the way you enjoyed going deep inside me?"

"Slyvia ...Paul sighed,l don't know how l will tell you these but am married. Just move on and leave me alone l don't want to be in a love triangle and ...

"Slap" Slyvia slapped him before he could finish.  "Listen and Listen to be me, Paul, if l can't have you no one will, and l mean no one. I love you Paul and l know you love me Please don't do this to me.

"You love,eeeh you love me yet you couldn't keep your body for me Slyvia someone else had tested your flower before me...anyway it doesn't matter. Just stay away from me from now on. Am sorry that we can't be together as promised.

"Now is that the reason why you are breaking up with me?, Okay fine but just know that you will come back to begging" leave my room now and go back to your wife.

She pushed him outside and closed the door. She went and picked the camera from the small table. She played the video and was satisfied with what she saw. She transferred the video to her phone and flash drive.

On his way outside the hotel, Paul thought something was fishy. Knowing how Slyvia is she can't leave him just like that, he knows her too well. He knows Slyvia will never give up easily 'you will come back begging' that line played in his mind again but he didn't figure out what she meant by saying that. He brushed that thought back to his mind as he entered his car and drove back home.

He never wanted to think about anything else but his 'wife'. He forced himself to think about her the woman his mother chose for him. She will make her mother happy by Making his wife happy.

'l must draw a plan how to make her fall in love with me. I married her l won't look at another woman beside her, hope one day you will love me, Ivana'.

****

Back to the hospital, Ivana was tired of talking to his Dad for the past 3 days now with no progress. He left him to wither Aunt as she rushed back home. She just needed to breathe in the fresh air and relax her mind away from the hospital.

She went home and found her mother-in-law law relaxing. Being a weekend she had nowhere to go.

" Good morning Ma'am" Uhm sorry Mum."

"You remembered today to come home. How is he doing? " Mrs. Wechuli asked.

"Just the same no progress, l hope he wakes up so that he can continue heading the company, l don't know if am ready to be the next CEO if something happens to him,l don't know where l will start," Ivana said hoping her Mother in -law will encourage her.

' The next CEO my foot,l can't wait to take over..' Mrs. Wechuli thought. He didn't listen to her other sentences as her mind was in a whirl thinking for the next move.

"Mum, Mum....l asked something but you seem spaced out what's wrong?" She asked.

"Oooh don't worry about me,l just feel sorry for you because of your Dad's situation and also you are in a marriage that you don't want." You know Ivana... Mrs. Wechuli diverted the story.

"My son loves you, you know he broke up with his girlfriend just to marry you. I was the one who choose you for him but it seems l made a big mistake is like you don't love him. I think l will just advise him to get back with her former girlfriend and...

"Really...Mum..? She forced herself to call her mum because it was a new term for her. " I thought l good mother in -law is supporting the marriage of her son but here you want to separate us?" It's not that l don't love him it's just..... 

She stopped talking when her attention was pulled towards a car that stopped that in their compound. As she least expected Paul came out of the car with fresh blue design flowers. Blue was her favorite color how did he know. She proceeded inside the house when she saw him approach his mother she then figured out that those flowers were not for her but her mother-in-law.

She went to her bedroom to relax her mind before she goes back to the hospital. She wanted to take a bath but again decided to relax first. 'l will take but when l go back to hospital '

"Knock... knock it came from her door and she stood up to go and open thinking that it was the maid.

"I don't want to be disturbed... She was surprised when she saw him standing by the door.

"You care if l enter? He asked.

"It's your house after role comes in," Ivana said as she moved to give him a room for him to pass.

"Ivana l brought you this, l don't know if you like them?". 

She picked the flowers from him and placed them on the table near the bed. She was silent for a moment before saying a 'Thank you.

"Ummm they are beautiful,l thought you brought them for your mother that's why....aaaah never mind," she said without looking at him.

"That's why you left the porch? Tell me Ivana are you Jealous?"

" Me ... Jealous? She pointed to herself ..no Paul she is your mother l can't Be Jealous.

"Oooh yeah, a smile escaped his mouth when Ivana saw it with a corner eye.

"Why are you smiling?" She asked him.

"Oooh nothing am just happy that you liked my flowers you know, l just hope that... A phone ringed making him stop talking it was her phone, not his. It was her Aunt calling and she immediately know that it was time to go back to the hospital. 

" I need to go back to hospital Paul,l will see you tomorrow". 'why am l promising to see him tomorrow, do l want to see him, she cursed inwardly.

" I am coming with you, l need us to get along Ivan...Hunny" he corrected himself not to call her by her name.

"No need Paul l will come back tomorrow don't worry am not going to a fancy place it's a hospital." She rushed outside before Paul could agree or disagree he knows maybe Ivana needs time.

***

When Paul left her alone. Slyvia cleared with the hotel and also traveled back home to her private Villa.
