HEAVENS SMILE ON ME (Sad Short Story)

CHAPTER ONE

.
.

When my wife gave birth to our 3rd child all hell broke loose in our marriage. Suddenly she was the ugliest woman I had ever seen not the pretty drop dead gorgeous woman I fell in love with. Looking at her each and every day was draining; I just didn’t love her anymore and couldn’t wait to get rid of her.

Just around this time I met this high school pretty girl called Betty. She quickly became the world to me and I was head over heels over her. I started withdrawing more and more time from my marriage and concentrated on Betty. I was so in love with her such that whenever I thought of my wife I wished her dead and gone. Betty quickly rose to be my main lady and she was the main recipient of all my monthly salary every month. I removed my wife from my will and all my bank accounts and left her to fend for herself.

Living with my wife was getting more and more strange since we were no longer sexual partners, I would sleep with her only when I wanted to. I would sleep on the double bed alone and she would sleep on the cold floor with the kids. Later in our marriage I became very emotionless and sometimes I would tell her exactly how I felt about her. I would shout, “Hey you don’t expect anything from me and whenever you feel the need of a man get yourself a donkey not me. As for your wellbeing, look after yourself and your kids I want nothing to do with it. If you are tired of me I’m just tired as you are with me, just go and never come back!”

To get her to leave and move on, I soon started coming home with Betty and I would kick her out just to spend the night in peace. The kids would cry in the cold but I wouldn’t give a damn. Despite how rude and abusive I could be, she never left the household. Sometimes I would shout, get angry or throw her to the ground and beat her but she kept going strong which was strange.

One year later
Trouble started when I caught Betty having sex with my friend Tobi in his office. I was disappointed and thwarted with my best friend Tobi not to mention the love of my life Betty. I was furious, I nearly killed him, “I’m going to kill you for this Tobi, what are you doing with my girl?” I shouted throwing a punch at him.

Soon as I landed a punch on him to my surprise Betty joined the fight on Tobi’s side and gave me a good beating. They nearly killed me; I escaped home bleeding heavily with a broken nose and bruises all over my face. When I got home my wife ran to me looking concerned and asked, “What happened my husband?”

Looking at my wife got me more infuriated and I warned her, “I’m not in the mood for your silly questions; just leave me the hell alone before I break your nose too!”

Wife: (concerned) let me look at that please I can help.

After my wife persisted i just couldn’t take it anymore and I got to my feet and slapped her twice. I grabbed an electric cable and whipped her like a donkey. I nearly slaughtered her as I relieved all my frustration on her In front of my crying kids and left her for dead.

The nest day I went to work with bandages and bruises all over my face. As soon as I walked in my office to my surprise Betty was waiting for me sitting on the couch remorseful and apologetic. I couldn’t understand what exactly she was doing in my office with everything she had done to me the previous day. I was furious, I marched to her and demanded answers, “what are you doing here you whore?”

Betty got down to her knees with tears on her cheeks and answered, “I’m sorry dear for what happened yesterday, I love you. Will you find it in your heart to forgive me please?”
