I stared in horror at the wedding invitation card in my hands....
"oh no! It can't be "I screamed
"Vivi, you need to calm down" Charis my friend said
"he can't do this to me after four abortions and all the money he collected from me,I even took a loan to support his business now he's leaving me to marry someone else! tell me this is all a joke." I said amidst sobs..
"Umm I hate to tell you, but rumor has it that the girl sef is pregnant with his child" Charis said.
I felt my whole world stop when I heard Charis, so Badmus can marry someone just because he got her pregnant and here I am aborting every single pregnancy for him. Suddenly I started gasping for air...
"come on, Vivian please breath just breathe, please breath!"
"oh my God, what have I done? I shouldn't have told her that" Charis kept chanting as she urged Vivian to breath.
When I finally calmed down my tears was uncontrollable, I kept asking herself over and over again where I got it all wrong.
"no, it's all a joke, it can't be" I kept mumbling to herself while rocking my pillow back and forth.
"it's okay Vivi, you'll get another man. You are very beautiful don't do this to yourself. What do you want to eat? " Charis asked.
"I'm not hungry." I replied
"no, you can't do that, you haven't eaten anything yet. You have to eat Please " Charis begged
I looked over to my best friend, we'd been friends since childhood and Charis had warned me against dating Badmus, the warning got even more serious after she knew about the first two abortions although I tried hiding it from her. She later decided to keep shut and watch when our friendship was beginning to get threatened now looking at the concern on her face I trembled as more tears came running down my face.
"I'm sorry Charis I should have listened when you warned me" I said amidst sobs.
"that's not the issue now Vivi, you've gotta eat please" Charis replied.
"I'm going to Badmus place, I need to ask him why he did that to me, I need to know Charis" I mumbled.
"you can't drive in this state, please just eat" Charis said
Suddenly, I stood up grabbed my car keys and stormed out of my room, "if you are going then I'm going with you and I'm driving "! Charis yelled running after me.
"you really want to do this?" Charis asked after driving me to Badmus' place
"yes, I just want to ask him why her? " I replied
"OK, be careful " Charis said as I opened the door and walked in.
I walked into his house taking in the familiar scenery. I'd been there countless times even spent nights but now I felt like a stranger.
I opened the door softly and when I stepped in, the familiar scent hit me and I saw the familiar silhouette of Badmus.
Badmus had always been an attractive young man and that was part of what drew me to him like a magnet. His lean muscles and abs just want you to stay in his arms, his dark skin is the true definition of the word melanin, his face, oh my God I could stare at it for all eternity getting lost in his kisses.
I had memorized everything I wanted to say on the drive here but now looking at him I couldn't remember anything and all I could mutter was a weak
"why? "
"you were easy" Badmus said
"easy?" I asked confused
"yes, in fact too easy, I never even asked you out, I only fingered your brain. I mean what were you thinking? I could have never married you Vivian after all those abortions and knowing you had more money than I do I don't wanna spend my whole life being your wheel so I just collected my share from you while you enjoyed the attention so you see its a win win" Badmus said smirking
"what? " Vivian said weakly as fresh tears came running down her face
"I carried your child Badmus!!! Four times" I screamed breaking down in tears
"and so what" Badmus retorted back
"what's that noise? "
"Oh it's nothing" Badmus said walking up to her.
That was when I noticed the heavily pregnant woman that walked into the room and Badmus holding her affectionately.
"who is she" I asked shakily
"oh! Allow me to introduce the love of my life and my future wife Victoria Davies" Badmus said smiling
"shhheee iiiss ttthe oone" I said stuttering I slowly moved back, turned around and bolted out of the door.
I notice Charis jump as I entered the car crying and sniffing.
"what happened " Charis asked
"nothing just drive" I replied
Charis looked at me and refused to press furthe ras she drove away which I was thankful for.
After getting home safely , Charis said softly
"you have not eaten anything please eat something".
"I'm not hungry" I replied
"don't make me call mum" Charis said
"I want to be alone just for a few minutes, can you please leave please " I pleaded.
Charis looked at me as if deciding what to do she eventually sighed and said
"don't try anything stupid Vivian, I'd be in the living room "
The moment she stepped out I stood up pacing around my room replaying every single thing Badmus said. There and then I decided on what to do.
I'd ruin them and be the major actress in their nightmare and when I'm done they will know why hurricanes are named after women but first I need all the information I can get.
I grabbed my laptop and typed in the name "VICTORIA DAVIES. "
