By Amah’s Heart.
“… please Kat… marry me. I know is so soon, but it seems like I have known you all my life. You are the sunshine I have being waiting for. You complete me in every way and you are true to yourself and cares deeply for others. That is the only thing that matters to me. Having gone through relationships that my ex only wants to enrich herself and still claiming to love me, I have being very careful not to jump into another. I said to myself when I get that special someone that completes me in every way… I’m not letting go of her. Kat you are the woman for me and I can build an empire with you by my side. Please say yes…. Kat… will you be kind enough to walk down the aisle with me… Say something. Your silent is scaring me… Kat?
I remain speechless as I looked from him to the ring in his hand.
I wasn’t expecting this surprise and I really don’t know how to respond to it.
Nick is a great guy, I have indeed fallen for him but I wanted to keep it cool and away from Mr Desmond who was getting so much attached to me.
I was avoiding Mr Desmond gradually by even leaving the house and returned back to stay with my Dad.
He sometimes comes to visit, and takes me out for either lunch or dinner.
He got another bigger and better apartment for my Dad. Equipped his shop and helped my brother in his career pursuit.
Desmond has done so much already for me and i will be a heartless being to hurt him this way.
He told me one evening that once the divorce papers are ready he will be free and can finally have me to himself forever.
He asked if I truly love him and I told him that I do.
Mr Desmond want to make me his wife, he haven’t proposed yet but has led down sign to make his intentions known.
Erin sent me messages that she wants us to talk.
I refused to honor her request at first but I later decided to hear whatever she has to say.
I sent her an address of an open beach joint where she can meet me
“Please Kay-se… don’t marry my husband. I know I don’t deserve him neither do I deserve his forgiveness but I’m ready to do whatever it takes whatever punishment he serves me… I’m willing and ready for it, all I ask is to have my Desmond back. Did you know that Silas… that lying, deceiving slum pig duped me. All the money that I was confidently giving him to save for me was gone, he even took my car and run off with Jamity, a young beautiful model that I have always suspected him with but he assured me that he has never cheated on me that Jamity means nothing to him. He brought Jamity to me, asking me to help her because she aspire to walk on the run way. The exact thing I wanted to help you become… I did it for Jamity. I connected Jamity to my ex runway Managers. She is a model because of me and the thank you I get is to bankrupt me. I trusted that evil maggot called Silas, even when I caught him in bed with the same model he still lied his way back to my heart. He took off unexpectedly with the same girl. We had plans but he started suspecting that Desmond knew about us. The police were coming after him and he kept on hiding. I assured him that Desmond does not know anything. I thought my dear husband was naive and doesn’t know due to the way he was acting. Well, i told Silas to listen to what the police have to say, is probably not what he was thinking but he refused and the next thing he did was to take off with no trace. My money, car, jewelries were all gone. He can’t run forever… his license as a medical doctor is ceased permanently. is just a matter of time and he will be caught that’s if he’s not dead because that’s what I wish for him. Desmond is a kind and loving man… he spared me all the troubles and refused to press charges against me even after the police came to take me away he refused to let them take me. I love my husband Kay-se sincerely. This past months and seeing him with you has made me realized that he is a diamond. Silas was just an ordinary stone with a pretentious mind. I stayed in our hotel room waiting for him and hoping he will return atleast with my car because I don’t know how to explain my missing car to Desmond…. but Silas did not return. I know I don’t deserve Desmond… I don’t but I wish I can be giving another chance to right my wrongs. Silas deceived me and the truth is that I took Desmond’s love and kind heart for granted. I thought it will always be there no matter what. Kay-se… you are the only one that has the key to save my marriage. Don’t marry Desmond or I will commit suicide… my life is already empty like this. I don’t have anything to live for. He is forcing me to sign the divorce papers but I can’t. How will I cope without Desmond? I tried to kill myself in that quarters that seems like a prison… I tried but I couldn’t. I don’t want to die neither can I bear the thought of loosing Desmond. Kay-se… please.
Erin pleaded while trying to wipe a tear off her eyes.
She was still beautiful despite how haggard she appears.
I saw through her and know she was serious but I don’t feel sorry for her, she brought this upon herself.
I asked her the obvious question hanging on my mind.
“, If Silas did not run away with your money and with Jamit… or whatever is the models name… If he didn’t run off you wouldn’t have realized how much of a good man your husband was. Your senses wouldn’t have returned back to normal setting. you could have still be planning a way to collect more money from Mr Desmond and also planning his death like you intended. Erin you are only sorry because all your plans with Silas failed. I wanted to expose you by all means I never knew that Desmond was even aware of your dirty secrets. The two months given to you to figure out your life is over… sign the divorce papers because you obviously doesn’t deserve him. I hate to break the news to you but you don’t deserve such a sweet selfless man. Nursing him back to health makes me see the beautiful side of him and I fell for it. I was determined to do anything to see him happy. His happiness isn’t complete yet but soon it will. He’s the type that no sensible woman will want to joke with. Is very unfortunate that you took his love and gentleness for granted… I can’t help you Erin. I can’t…
Even if I don’t end up with Mr Desmond I will want him to settle with a good woman who will appreciate him and love him like he deserves not somebody like Erin.
I did not allow her flowing tears to move me.
I left her with her untouched drink and walked away.
I have being able to go on a different dates with Nick without Desmond knowing.
Staying with my Dad gave me the freedom to go out and return as I please without any questioning especially from Mr Desmond.
I used to feel guilty over the dates and long night talk with Nick but not again.
Not until this moment.
