The Bestman

BE

to me on our wedding night, how could he have k

background, so after my secondary school education in th

t finding life easy either so i had to do some hot jobs to

nly seem to be on top of the food chain as they would always contact me with different

and the tips weren't so bad especially since i was

the worst defeat in life, i met him and tried to notify him we were closing but he just stared at me in an awkward manner and continued in

i was scared to put it in my pocket in a hurry thinking it might have been a mistake. Thoughts kept run

bit but i summoned courage to walk up to him in a rather polite but terrified manner. As i greeted him, he answered in a happy tone appreciat

, all eyes was on me as i took the wine over to his table. He asked me

d him and he paid with alot more change remaining. He h

e such offer fr

told him i was always free until 2 pm when i resumed work at the bar, so h

lad and juice with turkey wings s0 he asked me to make my order but i w

after much of his questions, he told me he was asking all the questions because he liked me, h

t it, but right in my heart i already h

bar. It was quite scary at first for that job was the best around town, he afterwards enrolled me for

moved into his home. He saw me through my tertia

ed him genuinely, he is quite, rich, calm and a definition of a Mr

ffer coming my way, i decided to settl

is Harold, Jude's best friend. Jude always spoke much of him and was so

and the few times Jude had visited when his wif

uch different from Jude but i loved this version of Jude better. They are both of similar height and built,

er i tried the more difficult it was for me. Harold soon began to notice as he was becomin

nd a way to avoid it with the excuse that i wanted to watch my man. I sat there with the boys and when they wer

made him uncomfortable while Jude stood

nd i decided to guard him to his room. As we reached, Harold placed Jude neatly on the bed and tried to loosen some of his tight fittings such as shoes,

s him in a seductive manner but he just shoved me off and made to leave bu

ou and cancel the wedding which i never wanted in the first place or believe me and cut ties with

happened or what you ask of me would be the biggest betrayal not just to Ju

be quenched, i am not in my right senses anymore, do this and let me

ou would need to explain what you are doing here this late for indeed, w

ave his friend from disaster, he agreed to my des

t was the duress, but definitely there was really nothing special about him except for the fulfilment i fe

k me that i had the bridal train waiting for me at the presidential suit so i just ran out to meet them,

o stress the innocent man, he sure gave you the right dosage another said

I couldn't help but notice the gloomy face Harold wore but that was definitely none of my

s of plans billed for the week which made Jude quite angry but Harold apologised greatly for t

him on my husband's phone, the moment he heard my voice, he always ended the calls. The few time i was able to talk to him was when

ch on me, got the baby needs even till the fourth year. He got me three domestic

be that the is jealous or didn't mean well for him? He would always ask. I suggested we both paid him a visit s

bought it when he praised me as being a good wife who had

the intentions to return on Monday. On our arrival, the surprise on Harold could cause a surge in one's bl00d

ised so much for not being able to make it to the wedding, her work didn't permit and she had since planned a m

their father with a look alike of their father. I familiarised so

sing and laughing and catching up, Harold felt uneasy bu

opinion and i said we were fine, we came to spend the weekend with them and whatever they could offer was perfect. Harold obviously wasn't pleas

o which i agreed but immediately i got dressed, i complained of headache and needed to rest to which Jude accepted and since

ed Harold accusing him of impregnating me and abandoning me. He had to drag

u and this evening, i intend to spill the milk infront of your wife and Jude and the childr

se don't do this to me. Don't put me through this ocean of shame. What do you want from me? Anything, me

saved enough to save me from poverty so leaving Jude means nothing to me but i won't lose you

ously seem to be under pressure of time and reluctantly, we did it. We had it for the second time and it felt e

and her husband also was always with Jude. On Monday morning, we packed our bags and returned home. I don't know if the threat worked or it was

istance apart. I did this six times before i finally had my baby, it was a boy, a bouncing one at that and guess what? He was a replica of Harold. Jude

i wanted some personal time with Harold and as luck would have it, Ginika noticed some jaundice on the baby and since she wasn't a first time mother, she recommended some medications. I

and the driver were back. Ginika had stopped at the kids world and gotten my baby so much gifts but i

Harold much anymore, for i couldn't travel but once the baby turned 8 months, our midpoint engag

d been too nice to the both of us, i can't do this anymore Anna he said and made to leave but i flared in an

the gin sized bed with his hand on his head, i just stood there looking at him like a confessed witch. You must stick to me forever else i would

ne bankrolling him even when i knew he didn't need my financial assistance since he had a good j

need to come claim her so you can atleast experience the joy of being paid marital benefits and not

our breath when suddenly he asked, Anna what is the future in this? That was to me like a marriage proposal, it sound

that you are a spinster he said. Well, as for that it is settled, Harold and i have been settled except Harold doesn't know. How? He asked again. I got some divorce papers from a lawyer and got Harold

ould be willed to our son and since you are his friend, you would with his final benefits buy a hotel and would always visit us in the

on his look, it was the scariest i had ever seen on any living

k game of yours because of my friend turned brother Jude. He is such an emotional being that the news of this could end his life. The day he d!es would be the end of this relationship and i would with my last breath seek justice

ontinued messaging him telling him about how are two kids miss him and how we should meet at our usual spot to make amends. He soon responded with have you burnt the divorce papers and i was quick to lie as i responded affirmative. We got talking and Harold was busy explaining the tale of how he and Jude had been childhood friends and more but that wasn't what i needed. He concluded by saying we needed to put a stop to what we were having, i thought you would grow out of this your obse

h like your friend but my husband always defended it with you

icked to know why he was calling, Harold was in great panic, there is trouble he said, my wife read our chat the other day, i tried to explain the situation to her but sh

n as he could for i was missing him, It took him about 5 hours to return, which left me with about 2 hours to do whatever i needed to do. I led him to the bedroom were we made out intensively, then had som

n't responding much, she made to confront Jude by giving him a slight push but Jude fell to the ground and began to jerk and soon foam was coming from his mouth and bl00d began to gush out while terrified Ginika knelt down beside him trying to be helpful but it was too late, Jude had d!ed. , she made to run away but it was then i came out from the room and began to accuse Ginika of murdering my husband and threatened to call the police on her. On her knees she

e that since his wife returned she had been mopping and acting frightened, i said his wife had k!lled my husband by strangling him but Harold k

ews of a scam on him by an online fraudster hit him for he invested over 350 million which he had borrowed for the investment. H

ance but immediately i was free to live again, i called him to come and even when he wa

benefits were paid to me, I told Harold about our plans to buy an hotel to generate a sustainable income which he agreed, I gave him all the fi

it seem to have no effect on her anymore, so i sent her a video of the day of my husband's death which had been well doctored by a professional. Jude was seen sitting on his own while Ginika continuously punched him until he fell to

object, the property was placed on sale and since it was in a strategic location, buyers came for it in no time. We sold the house for 47million and got a period of 6 months to quit so Harol
