Licia ran up to Femi in the room and hugged him from behind, brushing his chest with her Ɲīpplës, it was an act that softened him, no matter how angry he was. “I am sorry, love. I didn’t know that you didn’t want me to step out of the car, if you had told me, I would have remained seated in the car. I actually thought you wanted your wife out of your life for good”.
Femi: “I didn’t want her to leave like that with it looking very obvious that the fault was from me. I wanted her to do something that I can capitalize on to send her away”.
Licia: “Okay, I am sorry now”.
Femi: “Its okay. Prepare Afang soup with enough orishi-rishi for me, that’s what I feel like eating today”.
Licia: “Okay, your majesty”.

Three months later, Shana had finally relocated to her parents house where she and the pregnancy was being pampered by her parents. Femi’s family had called him to return home for a family meeting and possible reconciliation between him and his wife but he had refused and had ignored all the calls and messages they send to him. His parents decided to visit Shana and her family to apologize for all that their son had done to his wife. The maid led them into the room and gave them a seat. After some minutes, Mr Banjo and his daughter came downstairs.
Mr Banjo: “You are welcome to my home, my in law”.
Mr Johnson: “I am very sorry for all that my son did to your daughter. I was never aware of anything that was going on between them”.
Mr Banjo: “Of course I know that you were not aware and that is because my daughter never spoke to anyone about it, she kept quiet while Femi was bent on sending her to an early grave”.
Mr Johnson: “Children of nowadays. I don’t know what came over him, we never brought him up to be violent. I have never beaten my wife before, in fact, after his mother died, I refused to remarry because I loved and cherished her too much. It was pressure from my family, coupled with the fact that I needed a woman who will live with me to take care of him that made me marry his stepmother. And she has been like a mother to him. Why has Femi decided to make a caricature of my name like this? My own son a wife beater, hian”.
Mrs Banjo: “It is okay, my in law. Only God knows where children of these days get their characters from. To say that Femi shocked me is an understatement, he looked so innocent when he was dating my daughter that one would never have believed that he could hurt a fly”.
Mrs Johnson: “I am sorry, iya Shana. I am so ashamed I don’t even know what to say”. Femi’s step mother who was overcome to shame managed to say”.
Mrs Banjo: “It is well, my sister”.
Mr Johnson: “Let me call him one more time. Since incidence of his misbehavior broke out, I have been trying to call him all to no avail”.
Mr Johnson picked his phone and dialed Femi’s number. The phone rang for a long time without Femi picking up. When his father was about to hang up, he picked the call.
Femi: “Hi, dad”.
Mr Johnsn: “I am your father, Femi. You greet me with respect, that is how we brought you up. Anyway, I am calling concerning your wife. Your mother and I are in her house and…”
Femi: “Oh please, dad. Not again, don’t tell me you are calling me this afternoon because of Shana. Listen, I have moved on without her and I advise that she does so too”.
Mr Johnson: “Are you out of your mind or something? Since when did you become so irresponsible? Do you know that Shana is carrying your child?”
Femi: “I don’t give a d@mn, dad. She can go ahead and do wh@ťěver she wants with the child, that is if she doesn’t have a miscarriage before giving birth to the child”. He hung up the phone.
Mrs Banjo: “What further proof do we need? Femi has no respect for anyone, including you his father. I can never allow my daughter to go back and live with that monster even if he comes begging. Her lawyers will serve him the divorce papers”.
Mr Johnson: “I am sorry, I am terribly sorry. I thought the marriage between our children will cement our friendship, I didn’t know that it would turn out sour. I hope this doesn’t affect our friendship?”
Mr Banjo: “You can be sure that this will not in any way affect our friendship. I have seen your efforts towards ensuring that this marriage works, your son is at fault here and not you. Why should this even affect our friendship? We were friends before we had the children and we will continue to be friends”.
Mr Johnson: “I promise to take care of all her financial responsibilities including those of my grand child in her womb, Shana is like a daughter to me and I will do my duty as a father to her no matter what”.
Mr Johnson and his wife thanked them and left with their heads bowed low.
Shana got in touch with her family lawyer and divorce papers were sent to Femi who was reluctant to sign but after being brainwashed by Licia, he signed the papers, severing for ever his marriage to Shana. A month later, Shana gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl and her parents supported her with all that she and her babies needed. Her brothers too were very supportive and when the kids were one year old, they got visa for her and her children to relocate to London where her elder brother lives with his family.

Ten years on….
Ten years after Femi began to cohabit with Licia as husband and wife, she was yet to conceive and that was straining their relationship. Licia had often times accused him of being impotent and to stay away from her constant nagging, he was spending most of his nights after work he’s with Nana who was the woman in control of his body. Most times, his heart went out to Shana but for fear of Licia, he stayed away from contacting her. he had also cut off all ties from his family and after Shana left, she blocked him on all her social media platforms, he had no irking about what was happening to her or what had happened to the pregnancy. That night, he went over to Nana’s house after office hours, he wanted to spend the night buried in her thighs doing what they know how to do best. Nana was in a see through chiffon lingerie when he knocked and entered her well furnished apartment.
Femi: “Wow, you look hot, I can’t wait to mount you. I am going to teach you the lesson of your life in bed today”.
Nana: “See who is talking? Na only mouth wey you get, if the real action start now, five minutes too much, you don release”.
Femi: “Oh really? Let me show you how bad I can get then”, he drew her near and began to kiss her succulent lips, in no time, his hands found his way under her nightie and he brought out her Ɲīpplës and began to suck vigoriously. She was portable, which was one of the features that endeared him to her, he carried her straight into the bedroom and layed her on the bed, removed her lingerie and parted her legs. He liked the view he saw and that urged him on. He got low and buried his head in her honey pot, licking and eating. He inserted his tongue inside her and that send sensational feelings all over her. She pushed his head in and he continued to roll his tongue inside her, devouring her womanhood. “Stop!” she suddenly shouted. Femi ignored her and continued, this time around, he parted her honey pot with two of his fingers so that his tongue could have unlimited access. “I said stop!” she pushed his head away and closed her legs.
Femi: “What is it? Why did you interrupt me? I am already in the mood you know”.
Nana: “Before you can have me, I want you to sign a check of 20 milion naira for me”.
Femi: “What! That is ridiculous. 20 million naira is a lot of money you know, in fact that is all I have in my account”.
Nana: “Of course I know that is all you have and I know all the shady deals I brought that made you acquire that much. That is why you opened accounts in other banks so as to avoid any suspicion. I want 20million naira or I will blow off your secrets and the EFCC will hang your neck for all the corrupt deals you have been using your position as a bank manager to do”.
Femi: “Nana!”
Nana: “Don’t Nana me. So, I am the one who is good to be f-__-ked in her house right? You kept your mistress in your home after sending your wife away and you left me here and you think you have the right to walk in and out of me anything you have the urge? No way!”
Femi: “But this can also put you in trouble”.
Nana: “I don’t care, I am a woman. I will sleep my way out of Police net. I will count till ten, if you don’t make the transfer to my account, consider yourself EFCC’s guest. 1,2,3,4,5…”
Femi was confused, 20 million was all he had saved all these years, this was because he was spending extravagantly even beyond his income to maintain Licia and her high taste for expensive shopping and vacation. Nana was counting and he knew that he had to do something fast.
Back home, Licia knew that Femi was with his mistress and she was waiting for him to return, she was tired of the union and she had a shocker waiting for him.
