Chapter 18 The Regret

Thank you so much Mr Noble Stanley, thank you for coming and rendering help to us, without your coming, my parents might refused to tell us the secrets from the beginning.Thank you once more, I said bowing my head a little.

Anything for you dear, I couldn't let you suffocate in your marriage, if you were my daughter, I will still do the same. Right now is left for you to decide on what to do with your marriage from now on, be careful on making your decisions this time, because I don't want you to suffer anymore, I don't want to see sadness on your face, I only want to keep seeing you happy always, because real happiness extends your life span, please endeavour to make the right choice, Mr Noble Stanley said standing up from the couch to leave.

We are really sorry to have treated you badly earlier, we should have found out the proper incident before taking actions.

We really regrets keeping the secrets from you for several years

We are also sorry keeping you in boundage, called marriage.

We are sorry for everything done wrong, please find a space in your heart to forgive us, my dad said as he went on his knees.

Dad please stand up, is not really your fault that it happened like that, all the blame should be on our in-laws more especially Owen's mother. She caused us every troubles that we are facing through. Another person I should blame should be your CEO for putting you in critical condition, if he had allowed his securities to let you see him, you would have explained to him, and I believe he would understand and wouldn't sack you.

It was because he sacked you, that's why you fell into Mrs Lydia's trap. Who knows, maybe the trap wasn't actually for you, but because of circumstances, the trap caught you, I said to my dad.

Yeah, I think Lara is actually correct, because your CEO later found out the truth, and came back to apologise to you and he told you to come back to work, then he doubled your salary as the manager.

Mr stranger, are you still going to asked for your money or you're going to leave without it? If you still want it, Owen and his mother are capable of paying, so which do you want? Caleb asked him.

I will just leave right now, the stranger murmured, finding his way out.

I'm really sorry for all the troubles my family and I has caused your family, Owen's father began. I never knew that your family were innocent, my wife has been feeding me with lies everyday and I have been a bigger fool to have believed her and all her lies.

The signed document would be discarded once I get home.

My son has been a bad husband to your daughter, please also forgive him and his mother. I want us to start afresh.

Whatever you are saying, is just for you dad, I don't regret whatever I did to them, after all she is my wife, I have the right to treat her which ever way I want, Owen blurted out.

Really? So you cannot go down on your knees and beg the Wilson's family, huh? His father yelled at him.

Why should I beg them? Did I commit any offence?

And whatever you people said against my mom are all lies, you people should learn how to quit telling lies against people.

I have lived with my mom for several years, she was never like that, none of the things you people said about her was true, so you people should just let her be.

If you like cover up your mom and her sins, the truth has just been said. And your mom knew that she was the root cause to all our problems.

Yes, I'm the cause of all the troubles everyone went through, I'm really sorry, I should be arrested, Owen's mother said, stretching out her two hands.

Mom you need to stop saying awful things, Owen yelled at his mother, putting down his mom's hands.

Now, I'm even totally afraid, about my marriage, I don't really know what I'm going to face once I get home, and I don't want to loose my baby like I did the last time, I said rubbing my tummy.

Wow! You are pregnant? My mom asked in surprised, as she ran and hugged me. Thank you my lovely daughter, don't worry, nothing would happen to your baby, you will carry him or her till nine months.

Thank you mom, I replied.

If you're afraid of staying with your husband, you can come and stay with us, until you give birth to your baby, then you can go back to your husband's house, my dad said.

Yes, you can stay with your parents, until you give birth to your baby, then you can actually go back to your husband's house, Owen's father added.

What are you people even saying? How can you tell my wife to stay out of home with my baby? When you fathers married our mom, did you asked her to stay in your parents house? So why are you guys telling her to do otherwise? Please you people should just stop it, she is my wife, and she not going anywhere. She would stay with me till she gives birth to her baby.

You people talk as if you can do it if you were in my shoes.

They're telling you all these things, because they don't want you to lay your filthy fingers on Lara, you dare not try it this time, because I especially wouldn't allow such intimidation to happen anymore.

If I dare hear any news that you hit her or tamper with her pregnancy, I will personally deal with you.

One more thing, I love her, please don't make her cry because I will not take it lightly with you.

Haa, now you're talking. How can you love another person's wife,huh? You should have told me that you've been sleeping with my wife.

No wonder you have been fighting to know all our secrets, so you can use it against me and then take my wife from me, now I see.

You are not even happy that I married Lara, you see all your plans would not work.

I don't care whatsoever you are saying, all I know is that you shouldn't make Lara cry, because if you do, I will take her away from you without thinking twice, Caleb said.

Dad, mom, so you guys won't say anything right now, you all heard what he said and you're keeping quiet.

If it was a meaningless something now, everybody would put mouth, everyone would judge against me and my mum, now that meaningful something is out, nobody wants to put mouth again.

Are you guys really afraid of Caleb? You are afraid to talk to him, you're afraid to tell him that he was wrong, why?

You should just shut up, and feel sorry for the evil things you did against Lara, not blabbing around, his father said screaming.

How can you be like this? Why are you so cruel? Don't you have human sympathy?

The truth is that, Lara would be taking away from you and given to someone that genuinely loves her, and would take good care of her, and not a human beast.

She shouldn't even go back to that marriage with you, just that she is pregnant for you, if not, she shouldn't even be seen with you, Owen's father stated.

Even with her pregnancy, someone is ready to accept her like that, Caleb mumbled.

I turned and stared at Caleb for a while, then I smiled to myself understanding how much love he has for me.

Nobody is going to tell me how to run my family Owen said, you are running your family to your taste, so mine wouldn't be an exception.

Owen the truth has actually been told, they are telling you the simple truth, if you should abuse me again, then I'm practically leaving you, trust me, I would never come back, so don't think that because I'm keeping quiet, you can behave anyhow you want, I said to him.

I have endured you for long, I should have just left you longtime ago but I wanted to see the super end of all this things, and their foundations.

Ohh you too want to leave your marriage because of them, don't think you would find a better man than me. Incase you ain't aware, they are all deceiving you, don't fall to their traps, Owen said to me.

You mean a beast? You mean someone that hits his wife always?

You mean a man that would strangle her? Someone that would always kick her into having miscarriages and would never be remorseful.

Someone that has been pretending to love her, just to marry her, and accomplish his evil plans.

Someone that has been cheating on his wife?

Someone that goes around sleeping with people?

Please I don't wish that for her anymore.

You should even be ashamed of yourself, Caleb said to Owen.

I wished happiness for her always.
