"Is this how life will treat me now it is my turn to be down?" She said in tears at the sit out, in front of the pool in their compound.
She has been in deep thoughts since the day she notice her husband has been cheating on her. Anytime she brings up the unfair case as a peaceful complaint, he raises his voice on her and treathen to beat her if she doesn't let go off the matter.
He was comfortable with his infidelity because no one would question his authority. At some point, he stopped caring for her. She does everything for herself in pain and regret of getting married to Charles.
"How unfair could life be?" She asked, looking up the sky with a broken heart.
She got into a flashback of how they used to be happy before their predicaments. She came out of it, shook her head and said, "all will be fine again, I believe he is only tired of taking care of me.
The ups and down were so hard and obvious that they both almost couldn't bear it. Margaret did but Charles couldn't. He moved on with the act of infidelity.
His new chick who had fallen deeply in love with him, advised he divorce his wife so she could move in. He never gave it a thought until the night they had an unbearable argument because of Charles' non chalant attitude.
He order she drop the case to let peace reign, but the poor woman refused because she was hurt. He was never remorseful of his mischievous lifestyle.
In anger and frustration, he beat up his wife in a wheelchair and sent her out in the middle of the night. She less expected it from a man she calls her husband.
"A man who is more than a boyfriend to me did this to me?" What else can a man do to his wife if my husband can send me out of our house in this condition?" She said as she struggles with her wheelchair to find where to get roof over her head.
Charles thought Amber Rose was an angel until he noticed she is a drug addict and a dealer. He hasn't seen her snif cocaine, smoke and drink because she's been hiding it from him. Amber Rose was the best fighter in taquando and kick boxing but she was very calm.
Charles thought he was in good hands until he got into an argument with Rose when she had sniffed her coc., she beat the living day light off him. This time, he is the woman of the house, who misses being the man of the house. I left my lovely wife for you thinking you are what you look like on the outside, never knowing you are a wolf in sheep clothing, why didn't I see these all the while, Charles questioned Rose in the middle of their argument.
Sometimes, he gets into flashback of Margaret. How lovely, romantic and submissive Margaret was when they were together. A woman that has never for once talked back at me or even challenge me even in her own miserable moment, I treated her like she is an outcast, Charles said aloud in regret and tears.
Rose had overpowered him in every ramification, during argument, he was always reminded how selfish he was because of money.
"Who told you every condition last forever?" She questioned him but he couldnt do anything but shade tears.
Margaret is now living happily with another man who flew her to India for treatment and she walked afterwards. Melvin came across her the day he almost knocked her down on the road while turning into a street. He noticed she was tartarred, looking so worried and helpless. He didn't even bother her with questions.
He only asked if he could drop her off to her location and she accepted like she had somewhere really to go. Where are you actually headed and why alone? Someone could have offered you a help out here, your sister, brother, or something, he said looking at her and also trying to focus on his driving. Margaret narrated her story to Melvin, he had pity on her and offered to help.
Few months after their meet up and engagement, he proposed marriage to Margaret and she accepted. Life was on for them and perfect. This time, Melvin was in for kids unlike Charles who thought he could make all the money in the world.
He initiated the idea of not giving birthday immediately after wedding with his reasons, Margaret accepted because she was never told there won't be any child at all. Few years later, she had already put to bed of their second child. She was in the hospital when her husband happily rushed in with the consent of the doctor. He was super excited.
"Where is Angel?" Margaret asked after her first daughter, she is with the Nanny. I left her behind, don't worry she will be fine. After all she knows she is expecting a baby brother, she will be happy.
On their way home from the hospital, they ran into Charles, running away from his wife who has been beating him from the house till he ran outside. He regretted his action and cried for forgiveness. "Please come back to me, I am sorry for all the hurts I have caused you", he said almost on his knee when Melvin came out from their car with a romantic name and question for Marg.
"Honey is anything the matter?"
"No sweetheart, this is my ex husband I told you about", she said smiling and looking into Charles' eyes.
"Really?" You haven't told him about our newly second baby, he said trying to cover the baby he is carrying very well.
"No I haven't, he's been doing the talking since, when he is doing I will say my mind and we will leave." Marg. Said touching her husband's beard.
"You mean you now have a child?" He asked and she cut him immediately, point of correction please, children.
"You know what? I am feeling really weak, as you can see I just put to bed of my second child and we are just coming back from the hospital, have a good life and have a good day" as soon as she turned to leave, Rose shouted, where is that foolish man? And Charles continued his running.
