Betrayal 2

   "I had wondered why I couldn't get pregnant for Zain for almost a year. Each time you and I have sex, we used protection to void it but I never used that with Zain. I complained to Zain severally and he had asked me not to worry but I was getting worried day by day so I visited Dr Emmanuel and he assured me that nothing was wrong with me and right in his office, he seduced me and we had sex. I was ovulating during that period.

   When I got home, I had sex with Zain to cover my guiltiness and somewhere, you and I had sex the feeling week without protection.

   A week after you and I had sex, I started feeling strange and went for check and I was confirmed two weeks pregnant so you see, if your theory about Zain is true then Dr Emmanuel is the father not you."

    Owen rushed her the moment the last word left her mouth and started strangling her.

  He was furious and the only thought in his head was to end her life that minute.

  Susan never expected him to do something like that so he took her unaware.

   She has not recovered fully and having Owen strangling her was making her weak. She could not even struggle and prayed that her savior would come soonest and as if her prayer was heard, Dr Emmanuel came into the ward immediately and was surprised to see what is going on.

  He rushed towards Owen and pulled him away from Susan who coughed vigorously.

  "Are you insane, man? Do you want to kill her?"

  Dr Emmanuel fired at Owen who punched him on the face  the next minute.

   "So banging her was not enough, you still went ahead and fathered a child with her?"

   Dr Emmanuel was taken back by what Owen said. The pain he was feeling because of the punch disappeared immediately.

  "What do you mean by that?"

   "Exactly what you heard. You are a disgrace to friendship. How do you think Zain will feel if he finds out that his wife did not only cheated on him but the new baby is not his and he can't even father a child"

   Dr Emmanuel was finding it hard to believe what Owen said. 

  "I don't get it. You are supposed to be the father not me"

Dr Emmanuel asked bewierd. His stethoscope was loose on his neck and could fall off any moment.

  "That's what she made all of us believe. I guess I have to tell Zain the truth anyway."

Owen said and turned his back on Dr Emmanuel and Susa. He a bit was calm now.

  Telling Zain the truth would be the worst mistake Owen will be making it he does.

   Susan's breathing stabilizer and she tried removing those tubes on her body.

"Can somebody get these things out of my body right now?"

She yelled. The baby woke by the sound of her voice and gave a piercing scream.

   Dr Emmanuel rushed to the baby and lifted her up gently and at the same time trying to calm Susan down as he rocked the baby in his arm.

   He felt warmth in his eyes when the reality of the baby's paternity hit him. This is not the best way to have a child bit in whatever way, he is hoad to be the newest day in town even though he knows what would happen if Zain finds out and the only way to avoid the unavoidable is to make sure Zain never hears a thing.

   Owen rushed to Dr Emmanuel and I was about to hit him when Susan screamed and two nurses rushed into the wards stopping him from hitting Dr Emmanuel. Dr Emmanuel was not aware of the doom that would have befall him if Owen had landed the punch he had planned.

  The atmosphere the nurses met in the ward was chilly and one could mistakenly think some died.

   "Owen, I beg you, please calm down"

Susan was sobbing now, she regretted why she had to say what she said.

    "You think you will get away with this. I will make sure your marriage is over. Trust me on these"

   Owen said to Susan threateningly and after glaring from one person to another, he walked out furious.

   The moment the door jammed close, the room became quiet.

  Susan sighed and closed her eyes. None of these is supposed to be happening today, that should be her happiest day.

   The moment Owen left the room, Susan knew her marriage was over. There are no two ways about it.

     A rift that would cause Zain and her to separate has been what she asked for so long but now, she doesn't want it.
