My Husband, Her Prey

rmly. It was situated at Lamido Crescent, Kano state. It was a well known house of a Judge;it was a no-go area for most of the people there, especially rascals. They all believed that

though she was an environmentalist. She went to a corner in the kitchen and saw a door, she opened it widely. It was the store. Ten bags of rice. Cartons of drink, semovita, pasta and the list goes on. 'Hafeezu must be mad! He was bewitched!' She thought again. A woman cannot get all these from a man without using something to turn the man's head. Well, that was her belief. She opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water and a tin of coke. She checked some food warmers and served herself some food, she hesitated, looked back and forth and then closed it. It was Hafeez's food. Ya Allah! "Welcome Justice. How was the case?" Halimah peeped at her kitchen before she welcomed her husband. She wondered what the woman was doing at the kitchen. "It was good, i thank God all thanks to your support." She removed his suit and went into their room with it. She set a warm water for him and came out. "Your water is ready. My Justice." she finished with a teasing smile and a dramatic bow.

It allowed her dwell in the thoughts of her darling husband. "Hon' Bun," he called out descending but he met his aunt sitting by the stair with her hand supporting her chin. "When did you arrive aunty? You are highly welcome." He blabbed, scratching his head. If only he knew she was coming, he would have warn Halimah about her. He would have tell Halimah how the woman was. "Thank you. Is that the wife?" She twisted her nose and halfly closed her eyes. "Yyyes she is. Halimah." He stammered because her facial expression scared him. "Happy married life then." She threw her hand in the air emanating her lack of concern. "Thank you aunty Ma
