HEARTLESS - Episode 8 By Evelyn Ivy Ojo

As I tidied up my desk preparing to go pick up Amara at her office, my heart beat increased with excitement. I could not wait to see my sweet wife Amara and my unborn child. Few hours away from them was always like eternity. She was already 7 months gone and I enjoyed resting my head on her big tummy. Massaging her feet was a daily routine I engaged in with all joy after the day’s work.
My love for her grew each day and besides Amara’s attitude towards me changed after I gave her the car. She will put my picture up on every of her social media handle and sing praises of me. She had full control over me; I could not say no to her demands. Truth be told, I was proud to have her as my wife because everywhere we went, she was the cynosure of all eyes even with her pregnancy.
“Wow this your wife looks like half-caste ooo” Some people would say when they get to meet her.
I could not imagine my life without her, she was just so perfect. Everything she did or say made sense to me. She was in charge of my wardrobe; I got to know all the names of prominent designers through her. From my head to toe, I wore designer items because she wanted her husband to always look posh. She would always tell me that faith is an action word and in order to move to the next level, we must be ready for it by living flamboyantly.
“Emeka I think you will be interested in this” My colleague faith said as she walked into my office bringing me back from dreamland. The door to my office was open and I had bent down to pick up my bag. I lifted my head with a startled look and saw her holding a colourful flyer.
“Really, what’s that?” I said as she passed the flyer to me
“Go through it” she urged as she sat down on the visitors chair in my office. She crossed her legs and left me wondering.
“Wow….I think this is nice and it’s in Ajah” I said in approval after going through the flyer. The flyer had advertisement of some plots of land in Ajah.
“Yes it is, my husband and I have paid for some plots already and we are building immediately…wait let me show you on my phone” She said as she searched for the pictures
“But how is the area, is it well developed?” I asked hoping it wouldn’t be a dead zone due to the amount they were offering.
“Sure it is, there are just few plots left, you need to see the structures that people are erecting in that area, mehn…they are state-of-the-art-buildings…I even snapped the environment” She passed her phone to me.
“Wow….the environment is lovely?” I said as I watched the pictures. Like she said, the area was well developed with beautiful magnificent buildings.
“Yes ooo…there is nothing like having your own house you know…seriously I am tired of paying rent”
“I have been thinking of this too… I will discuss it with my wife when I get home…please send the pictures to me through Whatsapp… thank you for showing me dear.”
“You’re welcome Emmy…I will forward them right away” I passed the phone to her and checked the time.
“Oops!…Sorry, I have to run, my wife is waiting for me…just send them to me…I will acknowledge when I see them” I apologised as I attempted to leave.
“Hahahahaha…you and this your wife ennn…okay ooo… Mr Husband…my regards to her” She said jokingly making both of us laugh uncontrollably.
