"Get off me you filthy scoundrel!" I said while pushing him. I threw his jacket at his face. "I can't believe you would lie to me this way, I thought you said you had no family!" He turned to me grabbing my waist with his face very close to mine that I could feel his heavy breathing. "You don't know anything so shut up!" I looked into his eyes holding back the tears from my already watery eyes "I know nothing? I gave you everything and then what..." "you're so not worth it" He said to me without letting me finish then he walked out slamming the door so hard that I could hear the vibrating effect it had on the windows.

" I can't believe I did that, what was I thinking" I loved Bisi so much that I was not ready to give her up for anything. "You're so not worth it?" Really man! How could you have said that to her?" It was all my fault as I had lied to her from the start that I had no family. I had filed for a divorce already but I had no idea how she knew about my family. I picked up my phone to call her and tell her that I was sorry and that I loved her and was ready to explain everything to her. I took a deep breath and dropped the phone " now is not the right time man".

I walked to the kitchen to get myself a cup of coffee after I had cried my eyes out. I walked back to the sitting room and sat on the couch. I looked at my phone beside me, he had not called me yet. "let it go already, he lied to you" I thought to myself in anger. To be sincere, I was still waiting and hoping for his call. " Did i ever even matter to him? Gosh! Guys are jerks" I snapped out of my thought and noticed my phone had been ringing. "It's his wife again, what does she want this time?" I said to myself "Hello...."
* * * * *
My wife had been ignoring me all morning to the point that she didn't even prepare my breakfast " I wonder if she has signed the divorce papers" I was really tired of the marriage and I was dying to tell Bisi that I was single again. The only regret I had was putting my daughter through the pain of having separated parents. I loved Sarah so much and she was in fact the reason I had not left my wife all these while. " she is ten now, I think she would learn to understand" I thought to myself. Suddenly I heard a knock on the door "I wonder who would come see us so early" I looked at my wife who was busy getting Sarah set for school "who is it?"
