    🔸 Picked From The Dustbin:

    “What happened? Why did you disobey my instructions? I told you not to release Amaka but I’m upstairs now and I can see her coming into the house with my husband. What happen? Why did you do this to me? Don’t you know she would expose me to my husband? You have ruined all my plan and this thing you did may ruin my life.” Princess was almost shedding tears as she spoke to Eleks on the phone. She was at the balcony of the big house and she was looking at Chief Egbe and Amaka as they were walking gently into the building. Her heart skipped. She became very uncomfortable.

    “You should have called me and tell me she was returning home, at least let me run away to avoid being embarrassed and treated with scorn. You know she saw me when I came to your hide out and yet, you still went ahead to release her. Why did you do this?” Princess was still questioning Eleks.

    “Madam Princess, I have no business with you anymore. My business with you ended the day I finished the contract you gave me. You asked me to investigate Amaka and I delivered on the job. Kidnapping is a different thing. I didn’t do that one for you. I did it for myself. Thanks for giving me the information on how to kidnap your husband and his pregnant side chick, but I’m sorry to announce that all the money made from it belongs to me. You have no share in it. I and my boys took the risk and all you did was provide information. Well, just so you know, I have shared the money with my boys and you will never be able to see me again. As for what would happen to you? Well, I don’t know. It’s your cross and you have to carry it alone.” Eleks said. He was laughing over the phone as he spoke to Princess. The laughter supposedly conveyed the message that Eleks has succeeded in his mission and is now swimming in the money he made through Princess.

    Princess’ heart was pained a lot. She felt so terrible and bitter. She felt betrayed. She knew Eleks has plunged her into a chaotic situation.

    “I’m in deep trouble. What am I going to do? Amaka will expose me and I will be arrested for conspiracy and aiding kidnapping and ransom taking. I did not even get any money from the deal. God, I don’t want to go to jail.” Princess said as her eyes welled up with tears. The thought of facing shame in the hands of Amaka and her husband disturbed her heart so much.

    “I don’t think I will be able to face this shame. I can’t take it.” Princess declared as she attempted to jump off from the third floor of the four storey building. But just before she lifted her legs to end it all, Amaka came from behind and tapped her gently.

    “Don’t do it Princess. There is no need to end it. There is still hope. Don’t worry, I will not tell anyone what you did to me and chief. No one will know that you were behind the kidnapping incident. Your secret is safe with me and I will take it to the grave. Come let’s go so that you can see the baby. He is so handsome.” Amaka said from behind. Princess was surprised to see her. She still looked haggard and disheveled due to the physical stress she passed through in the hands of the kidnappers. Princess did not say a word as she gently followed Amaka to where the baby was kept. When she saw the baby, she knew clearly that it belonged to her husband. The physical resemblance was too much.

    When she finished observing the baby, Princess went to her room and started weeping. She remembered how many years she had lived with her husband without getting pregnant even for once. And then another lady got pregnant for the man just by using his male liquid fertilizer she picked from the dustbin. The situation troubled her heart greatly. She wept all day without coming out of the room. She starved herself. In fact, she had no appetite for food.

    At around 7a.m the next day, Princess heard a knock on her door. She managed to stand up from the bed and opened the door. It was Amaka.

    “I came to tell you that I’m going.” Amaka said. She was clutching her baby.

    “Where are you going to and why?” Princess asked with surprise written on her face.

    “I’m going back to my house.” Amaka said with a tender voice. She spoke with an emotional tone.

    “Why are you leaving? I’m supposed to be the one to leave for you to stay. You have a baby for my husband now. Officially, you are the woman of the house. I’m just like a man, unable to get pregnant after many years. I’m not fit to be called a woman.” Princess said as tears rolled down her eyes again. Amaka entered the room and sat on Princess’ bed.

    “Look, Princess, I was wrong in what I did. I was not supposed to have got myself pregnant without your husband knowing about it. What I did was despicable. I also brought the pregnancy into your house, and I almost destroyed your home. That is despicable if you ask me. I was consumed by my ambition to escape poverty through your husband. But now, he has lost almost all his money to the kidnappers.” Amaka said before pausing to attend to the baby who had started to cry. She unzipped her dress and brought out her milk factory and started to feed the baby. The baby grabbed the tip of the milk factory with his lips and started to feed happily.

    “Look, I don’t blame you for kidnapping me. I don’t blame you for everything that happened after I came into your home like an intruder. You did what you did to protect your territory. If I were in your shoes, I would have done the same thing. So, don’t beat yourself up because of how you treated me or how you arranged for your husband’s kidnap. Any woman could have done the same to protect her home. I’m not holding it against you and the secret will die with me.” Amaka said. The baby had stopped feeding and she had pushed her milk factory into her dress and zipped up.

    “So please, I want you to continue to live with your husband in peace. I will never come in between you and your husband. Please, the two of you should not separate. I know one day, you will get pregnant and have a baby of your own. Goodbye Princess.” Amaka said as she stood up and left the room. As she was going, Princess called her back.

    “Please, can I carry the baby just once? I just want to feel a baby in my hands.” Princess said tenderly. Amaka turned and handed the baby to her. As the child reached her arms, she started weeping. She felt a lot of emotions. She handed back the baby to Amaka quickly and rushed back inside her room.

    After Amaka left, Princess and her husband felt as if they were strange bedfellows. Although, Princess still cooked for her husband and they were still making love to each other, but they knew something terribly wrong had happened to their relationship and romance life. The love in their home was gone and it stayed like that for three months before they decided to talk and settle things.

    “It was my fault. But this would never happen again.” Chief Egbe said to his wife.

    “I have already forgiven you. I also have a good news.” Princess said.

    “What’s the news?” Chief asked.

    “I’m pregnant.” Princess said with excitement in her voice. Chief jumped up and hugged her passionately.

    “Oh my goodness, I’m so happy. Finally having a child with my real love.” Chief exclaimed with a loud voice.

    On the day that Princess gave birth, they came home from the hospital and met a surprise at home. When they came back, the gateman gave Chief a bag. When he opened the bag, he saw so much money. There was a note in the bag and he quickly rushed and read it. Princess listened attentively as her husband read the short note.

    “Dear Chief Egbe. I hope this meets you well. I’m the man who kidnapped you. I did not really need your money. I only wanted to teach you a lesson. All the money I took from you as ransom is in this bag. Please, stay faitful to your wife and never go outside in search of women because in the end, you stand to lose many things. I know you are a wise man and you must have learned your lesson.” The not reads. Princess was shocked and chief was stupefied. Their lives gradually went back to normal. Chief kept in touch with Amaka and took care of her and her baby.

    Cheating on your partner is like a cobweb, you don’t know where it will lead. Many times, the act exposes you and your loved ones to danger as we have seen in the life of Chief Egbe. He is lucky to live, but some people may not be that lucky.

    🔸 Picked From The Dustbin:

    “She has given birth. What do we do? She gave birth to a baby boy. She surprised us because she pushed the baby out by herself without any help. Amaka has proven to be very strong. What do we do now? We can’t keep her forever. The baby may die if we leave them in that uncompleted building. What should we do with Amaka and her baby?” Eleks was on the phone with Princess who was relaxing on the bed. The time is around 9p.m. Chief Egbe was not at home.

    “Call my husband and let him know that Amaka has given birth to a baby boy. Ask him to pay another ransom of N25 million. Promise him that you will release Amaka and the child safely after the payment of ransom. But don’t release them after he pays the money. Please, adhere to the instructions.” Princess said. She was very happy that everything is going as planned.

    “It’s okay! I will call him right now.” Eleks said as he dialed Chief’s number to break the news to him. When Chief heard the news, he was overjoyed. Despite all that had happened to his businesses, he still had N35 million left in his bank account. The next day, he made urgent arrangements and delivered N25 million cash to the kidnappers. They warned him clearly not to come to the place with police, so he acted all alone.

    “When are you going to release Amaka and the baby? Please I want to see them as fast as possible. When should I come and pick them up? Please tell me the place let me start coming.” Chief Egbe tells Eleks on the phone.

    “Calm down chief. We are the ones in charge here, not you. We will tell you when Amaka and your child will come home. We take the decision of when to release our captives. You are not in any position to decide for us. Good day chief.” Eleks said over the phone. Chief was once again heartbroken. He had expected that the kidnappers would pity him and release Amaka and his son because he had done everything they asked him to do. He drove home from the kidnapper’s hideout, feeling so much pain in his heart.

    Chief Egbe was gradually going bankrupt. Now, he had only N10 million left in his bank account.

    “It is as if my life is coming to an end. What have I got myself into? This people have emptied my bank account. My businesses have crashed. My friends and partners now treat me with disdain. The whole country has now heard that I’m a bad man who goes about sleeping with women. Everyone that held me in high esteem in the past now treat me like satan. People despise me like leprosy. Am I the first person on this earth to cheat on his wife? I’m sure there are men out there who are cheating on their wives to, but why is everyone focusing their attention on me? Is it because I was caught? Why is the world being so unfair and unjust to me?” The chief asked himself. He had driven into his compound but he was in the car where he was reflecting on the situation that befell him since the past few months.

    “God please intervene. You are my last hope. I know I have failed in many aspects of my life. I have destroyed my marriage and I have violated the sanctity of my matrimonial home. I failed in my duties as a married man. I failed my wife and I have failed you, my creator. God please do not abandon me because you are my last hope. Everyone I know in this world has abandoned me. My reputation has been destroyed and my life is about to end if you fail to intervene. God please do not leave me. Show up for me the way you showed up for Sampson when he was in the prison. Show up for me this one last time and I promise never to go back to being a womanizer. Show up for me and restore my hope. Help me and rescue Amaka and the child from the kidnappers den. At least, let me have something to show for all the suffering I have gone through in the past few months. Please forgive me because I’m only human and I’m not infallible. God please show up for me, do not abandon me.” Chief Egbe prayed. For the first time in many months or years, he prayed sincerely from his heart because of he knew only God could save him from impending disaster.

    “I’m waiting for an answer from you God. I need your help. Please forgive me my evil doings and intervene on my behalf.” The Chief said. He was weeping profusely with his head rested on the steering of his car. Tears were pouring on the floor of the car like rainwater. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the windscreen of the jeep. Chief looked up and saw Amaka standing by the door of the car. He jolted back to life and then wound down the glass. He felt as if he was dreaming, but it was real. Amaka was carrying a baby in her arms. The baby was wrapped in clean blanket. He was shocked beyond words as he quickly opened the car door and jumped down.

    “My goodness! What happened? They had refused to release you when I called them after paying the money. God! I’m so happy. Please let me see the baby’s face.” Chief said as soon as he came out of the car. He uncovered the child’s face and thought he looked very handsome. Chief knelt down and lifted his hands up in appreciation to God who had just answered his prayers.

    “What happened. How did you convince them to release you?” Chief asked again.

    “”It’s a long story, but the kidnappers said they were tired of me and that they did not want the baby to die in their hands.” Amaka said with a mild smile.

    “Let us go inside.” Chief said after recovering from the initial shock he felt.

    “What of Princess?” Amaka asked.

    “She is inside the house.” Chief responded as they entered the building with the baby.

    🔸 Picked From The Dustbin:

    Chief has suddenly found himself liking Amaka. Not only that she is younger than Princess, she also has a way of capturing his mind and making him happy in a way he has never been before. They were starting to get along before the kidnapping incident happened. He had no intention to chase away Princess. What he wanted to do was to allow Amaka give birth and then conduct a DNA test on the baby to confirm if the pregnancy was really his.

    But on the day they were kidnapped, Amaka had opened up to Chief Egbe when they were being driven to the kidnappers’ den. She told him all the truth about how she stole his male liquid fertilizer and used it to make herself pregnant.

    “I did it to teach you a lesson. Please, if we don’t make it out alive from the kidnappers den, kindly forgive me. I never wanted to destroy your home. I only wanted to carry the child of a rich man. I came from a poor background and I knew getting pregnant for you would be my surest passport to banish poverty. That is why I did what I did.” Amaka had said when they were in the kidnappers’ car.

    Chief Egbe was shocked by what Amaka had told him but he did not have the time to process the information properly because of the constant harassment from the kidnappers. But now that he had been released and he is back to his house, he now has time and the mental preparedness to think of the implications of what Amaka had said.

    He knew clearly that Amaka was telling the truth. He remembers the uncountable times he had dropped love-making balloon in the dustbin in the hotel where he frequented with different women.

    “She is probably telling the truth. Although, what she did was not right, but if I will become a father through that means, I truly don’t care. That means I will soon carry my own baby. My goodness! I can’t wait.” The Chief said. He was under a shade in the big compound, drinking wine and reflecting on the whole situation.

    The chief suddenly remembered that Amaka was still in the kidnappers’ den and he instantly became worried again. It was barely 24 hours after he was released. He had offered to pay ransom for Amaka but the kidnappers declined.

    “Amaka is certainly carrying my baby. I will fight with all the fibers in my body to bring her back home safely. I will give it everything I have got. Amaka will return home safely and deliver my baby. I will fight the kidnappers with all the resources available to me.” Chief Egbe said with anger in his voice. He placed the cup of wine on the table and went into the house to talk with Princess.

    “I wanted to confess something to you.” The chief said to his wife Princess who was scrolling through TikTok with her phone. She was lying down on one of the beautiful sofas in the living room. Princess is not a fan of television. Any time she is stress mentally, TikTok is the place she goes to watch short videos and have fun. She has refused to betray her emotions since her husband returned from the kidnappers’ den. She refused to display any form of anger, but instead started showing concern for Chief’s and Amaka’s wellbeing. When Chief returned without Amaka, she lied to him that the situation broke her heart.

    “What do you want to confess my darling?” Princess asked with deep concern in her voice and face. She sat up and sharpened her ears to listen to her husband who by then had sat beside her on the white sofa.

    “Amaka told me how she got pregnant for me and I’m convinced she was telling the truth. She said she stole my male liquid fertilizer which she used to get herself pregnant. She told me this in the car when we were kidnapped. I strongly believe she said the truth because I remember taking women to the hotel where she worked. Please forgive me for cheating on you with other women.” Chief Egbe pleaded with his wife with teary eyes.

    “Did I hear you say forgive you?” Princess asked tenderly.

    “Yes my dear! It was a mistake to have cheated on you. But the most important thing right now is that the life of the baby is at stake because Amaka is still in the kidnappers’ den and we must find a way to rescue her for the sake of the baby. You know we are yet to have children and maybe God wants to bless us with a baby through her. Please forgive me and support me in my efforts to release her.” Chief Egbe said to Princess. He was kneeling down but Princess held him up respectfully.

    “Please stand up my darling husband. Please, there is nothing to forgive. I know you love me dearly and what must have happened at the hotel was a mistake. I have forgiven you and I will join you to fight to rescue Amaka. I will personally take care of that baby when it is born. I agree with you that God has blessed us through her. I will fight with you and I will never abandon you.” Amaka said as she started weeping and shedding profuse tears. She hugged the chief passionately.

    Princess went outside after she was done with chief. She brought out her phone and called Eleks.

    “Call my husband right now and demand N15 million as ransom to release Amaka. Do it right now!” She said.

    Of course, Chief Egbe paid the money but Amaka was not released. To make matters worse, Princess leaked all the information to the press. She leaked all the hotel videos to the press and it became public knowledge that her husband is a womanizer who dumped his male liquid fertilizer in the dustbin where a cleaner it to get pregnant. Chief’s reputation became badly damaged and his businesses started suffering terribly. All the investors in all his companies pulled out. Chief was crashing to the bottom gradually. His businesses stopped bringing in money and the cash in his bank accounts started to decline.

    “When I’m done with you, you will never cheat on your wife in your next world.” Princess said.

    🔸 Picked From The Dustbin:

    “Calm down madam! And please, don’t shout at me. You asked them to bring me here and they have brought me to you. Why are you now shouting as if I’m about to escape? My pregnancy is already nine months and I cannot obviously run with it. So, calm down and don’t shout. There is no point shouting.” Amaka was talking confidently to Princess who was sitting on a stool before her. Amaka was not scared of the tough-looking boys holding loaded guns in the uncompleted building. Princess wondered where she got the courage to still open her mouth wide and talk despite being in clear danger.

    “I ask you again. How did you get pregnant for my husband? Don’t test my patience. I can be very dangerous, I assure you.” Princess said, trying to sound very tough but Amaka was not cowed by the threats.

    “Look madam, it is unfortunate that you don’t your husband. You don’t know that he is a community husband? Your husband that has slept with every lady in Lagos. You call that one husband? Look my sister, the man you call your husband does not actually belong to you alone. He is a community husband. He belongs to all of us.” Amaka said. Gradually, she was taking over the conversation and turning the table against Princess. She spoke very confidently and the things she was saying hit Princess’ heart like bomb. Princess did not want to ask the bad boys to harm her because of the pregnancy. She was angry but there was a limit to what she had the courage to do.

    “I’m warning you to mind your tongue. Be careful with the things you are saying about my husband. If you don’t answer my questions right now, I will have your tongue removed with a knife.” Princess threatened. She knew her threat was an empty one. She was just trying to sound strong and to scare Amaka.

    “Look madam Princess, or whatever they call you. I’m not under any obligation to answer your question, but I will just tell you how and why I got pregnant for your husband. Like I said, your husband is our community property, he belongs to the community. He belongs to all of us and not you alone.

    “I know you have gone to the hotel where I work and they must have told you that your husband is our biggest customer. Well, your husband has a permanent room there. No other guests uses that room except him. Every week, your husband lodges in that room with a different girl. He likes women a lot. I’m the one who cleans that room every morning. And I used to wonder why your husband is such a chronic womanizer. Why would he be ‘chopping’ every lady he sees in Lagos?” Amaka asked no one in particular. Princess was watching and listening to her calmly. Even the bad boys in the building had calmed down as they listened to Amaka’s story.

    “I decided on my own that I will teach your husband a bitter lesson. Maybe after this lesson, he would be careful with his life. Every morning, while sweeping his hotel room, I come across many balloons in the dustbin. Some of the love-making balloons still contained male liquid fertilizer. I picked one of them and decided to try my luck and boom, I got pregnant. Now, I’m carrying your husband’s baby without him sleeping with me. Isn’t that great?” Amaka asked Princess sarcastically. She started laughing very loudly as if the situation at hand was funny. It was not funny, at least to Princess. Although, she already knew the truth, the pain she felt after watching the video earlier came back to her. Princes felt like slapping Amaka but she resisted the idea.

    “As I was saying, your husband will learn his lesson and stop being a womanizer. What I did would actually help his life. Number one, once your husband learns the truth about how he got me pregnant without touching me, he would think twice next time he wants to take a side cheek to a hotel. Also, he is going to take responsibility of this baby. You know, you people are yet to have any child, so there is no way your husband will push me out. He needs this baby more than I do. My plan has worked. He would eventually push you away and marry me because obviously, you are barren.” Amaka said. At that point, Princess was unable to control herself anymore. She raised her right hand to slap Amaka, but she quickly resisted the temptation. She dropped her hand again and started crying. She made up her mind to punish Amaka in a way that would make her feel pain.

    “I’m not barren.” Princess said to Amaka.

    “Oh yes you are barren. If you are fertile, why haven’t you got pregnant all these years? Look at me now, your husband did not even touch me and I took in for him. You are barren my dear. Know this and know peace. You better start making plans to leave your husband’s house because I’m taking over as soon as this baby is born.” Amaka said with sarcastic laughter. Tears welled up Princess’ eyes. She stood up and started leaving the scene with pain in her heart.

    “Don’t worry, I will not tell Chief that you are the one who kidnapped me.” Amaka said. It was then that Princess knew that Eleks also brought Chief Egbe to the uncompleted building.

    “Why did you kidnap my husband? I thought we agreed not to kidnap him?” Princess asked Eleks. She was still crying.

    “Don’t you want money? Your husband has betrayed you. You have to get your pound of flesh by taking his money.” Eleks said in hush tones.

    “Go home! I will send your own share of the money.” Eleks said.

    “In that case, let us change the plan. Let’s release only my husband and keep Amaka. We can now use her and take more money from him.” Princess said as she left the uncompleted building.

    Chief Egbe was released after payment of N20 million ransom, but Eleks refused to release Amaka.

    “I will drain your spirit and you will regret all the painful words you said to me today. As for you Chief Egbe, I will empty all your bank accounts and make you poor. You will regret cheating on me.” Princess said as she laughed out loud on her bed that night.

    🔸 Picked From The Dustbin:

    Princess’ eyes gushed with tears as she watched the videos. She never believed that her husband could cheat on her but now, everything was clear with video evidence. She still wished she was dreaming and that somehow, she would soon wake up from the dream, but unfortunately everything she saw in the video were true.

    “Today is the worse day of my life. I can’t believe this is happening to me. I never knew my husband is a chronic womanizer. All these while, I have been bragging in the front of my friends that I have a faithful man that I can vouch for. I didn’t know I was living with a Casanova.” Princess said amid hot and painful tears. She and Eleks were in a hotel room this time around since they chose to watch the videos indoors together without being detected by anyone. The wall clock in the hotel room chimed 9.a.m. The room temperature was made cold by the rectangular air conditioner hung on the wall close to the window. Princess stood up from the table where she sat and watched the video with Eleks and went to the bed.

    “One good thing is that your husband has been honest about not getting Amaka pregnant. He did not sleep with her, at least before she showed up at your house. That fact is now very clear.” Eleks said. He shut down the laptop, closed it and put it in his bag which lay under the table. He placed the bag on the table and then went to the bed to meet Princess who was still weeping like a baby. Her eyes were red and her face was squeezed like someone who chewed raw bitter leaf.

    “Don’t cry too much. All hope is not lost. At least you are not dead yet. You can still reclaim your home.” Eleks said as he sat on the hotel bed and looked directly into Princess’ eyes. The first day he saw Princess, he had started liking her. He waited for her most vulnerable moment to make his first move. This was the moment he has been waiting for. He decided to strike without delay. As Princess continued to weep uncontrollably, Eleks drew closer to her and started wiping her tears with a white handkerchief. Soon, he started touching her cheeks and then he drew closer again and started kissing her. Princess responded to the kiss with equal intensity. She responded as if that was exactly what her body needed at that moment of sorrow and pain.

    It did not take too long before Princess fell on the soft bed herself. Their love-making session did not last long but Princess enjoyed it so much. Even though Eleks is a two-minute man, he succeeded in making her feel relieved. It was when they were done that she realized she had slept with another man and not her husband. Although she felt better, she was sad that it had happened. She however refused to blame herself. One part of her mind even told her that she did the right thing. Eleks slept off after testing the honey.

    “Eleks, wake up, there is something I want us to do.” Princess said, tapping Eleks gently at the back. He arose and sat on the bed, leaning his back on the wall. He was eager to hear what Princess wanted to say.

    “I want you help me arrange boys to kidnap Amaka. I want to show her the difference between egbe and egbe.” Princess said with anger. It was like there was a sudden burst of energy rising from her belly and her heart was yearning for revenge.

    “I have my own boys. There would be no need to arrange for other boys. I will just give them a call and the will do it immediately. Consider it done.” Eleks remarked with emphasis.

    “That’s very good! When she is kidnapped, give me a phone call and will join you wherever you are. I want to looked into her eyes and ask her some questions. I want to find out why she chose to destroy my home. I just want to have a little talk with her.” Princess said. She stood up from the bed and wore her dress. She stepped out of the hotel room and soon, she was driving home. She got home and found out that Amaka had gone to the hospital for her normal antenatal checkup. She picked up her phone and called Eleks.

    “This is the perfect time to strike. I have sent you a text message containing the address of the hospital. Please, I want you and your boys to do a clean job. There should be no mistakes. Please only Amaka should be kidnapped, leave my husband out of it, I will deal with him myself when I’m done with Amaka.” Princess tells Eleks who had already rallied his boys in a waiting Range Rover car.

    Eleks did not go with his boys. He stayed back at the hideout where Amaka would be brought to when she is kidnapped. When the boys got to the hospital, they saw Chief Egbe with Amaka in the ward. While Amaka was on the hospital bed, Chief Egbe was sitting on a chair beside the bed. The boys had gained access into the hospital discreetly after claiming they were there to see a patient. Once in the hospital ward, they shot several times at the white ceiline, perforating and creating holes in it. Everyone scampered to safety. Within ten minutes, they were out of the hospital. Both Amaka and Chief Egbe were kidnapped at gunpoint and practically stuffed into the Range Rover and driven away.

    “The job is done. I have sent the address of where we are. We are expecting you.” Eleks tells Princess over the phone. But what he did not mention was that Chief Egbe was also kidnapped. He had Chief Egbe kept in a different detention facility from where Amaka was kept. He has his own personal plan which was why he went against Princess’ instructions not to kidnap her husband.

    When Princess entered the detention facility, he saw Amaka where she was blindfolded and tied on a chair. She did not know that her husband was also blindfolded the same way and kept somewhere else.

    “So here we are! Remove the blindfolds on her eyes. I want to look her in the eyes while questioning her.” Princess said with pride in her voice. She was so happy to have Amaka under her command and control.

    “Now, I want you to tell me how you got pregnant for my husband and why you did it. I already know the truth, so if you lie to me, I will have you killed. So, start talking immediately.” Princess tells Amaka as she sits down on a stool to listen to what she has to confess.

    🔸 Picked From The Dustbin:

    It is difficult to imagine that Princess never for a day suspected that her husband was cheating. She had trusted him with all her heart. She loves him so dearly. There was no reason to suspect his movements because he paid meticulous attention to her and had always showered her with so much love. Despite the fact that she was yet to conceive, Chief Egbe never allowed this to spoil their adventurous love life that has lasted many years.

    In fact, many people advised him to marry a second wife who would bear him children but he had always rebuked them harshly. He told everyone who cared to listen that he dearly loves his wife and there was no need for a second wife.

    Many of his numerous properties were bought in his wife’s name. He pampers and honours her like a queen. It was therefore very shocking to Princess when Eleks, the private investigator revealed to her that her husband was a popular patron of a hotel where Amaka worked. The story sounded terrible to her hearing.

    She considered her husband an honourable man who would never stoop so low to sleep with side chicks, not to talk of sleeping with a cleaner at a hotel. Despite the fact staring her in the face, she still believed that there could be a mistake somewhere. She therefore decided to calm down and not to confront her husband just yet.

    “I want you to dig deeper. I wanted to confront my husband last night but I couldn’t do it. I felt there could be a mistake somewhere. I so much trust this man. He has never given me any reason to disbelieve his words. He gives me love and the kind of life I dreamt of having. What could have possibly made him to sleep with a cleaner? Am I no longer beautiful?” Princess asked rhetorically.

    She was holding a second meeting with Eleks, the private investigator. They were sitting at their usual spot at Sheri Hotel and Eleks was holding a glass cup containing Champaign while Princess was sipping from a cup of Chapman. Just like the first day of their meeting, she was there alone without her driver.

    “The problem I have with many of my clients is that they trust people a lot. We often don’t know that those we love are in the position to hurt us the most. I have more information already and you will be shocked when I’m done with this case.”

    Eleks remarked. He gulped the remaining wine in his glass cup and ordered for more. The waitress at the hotel arrived with an entire bottle and placed it on the table for him. The way Eleks drinks made Princess to wonder if Champaign gave him inspiration.

    “What else have you discovered? Do you have a more concrete evidence to prove that my husband actually slept with a hotel cleaner called Amaka? What else have you found?” Princess asked. Her heart was pounding fast and she could even hear the sound. She leaned forward and sharpened her ears like a dog trying to track the direction of a grass cutter.

    “I have hacked your husband’s WhatsApp account and I discovered that he has never chatted with Amaka. Your husband keeps up to seven side chicks, but strangely, Amaka is not one of them. They have never communicated at least on phone before she showed up at your house.” Eleks said. He poured some wine for himself and as usual, gulped everything at once. Princess was so sad when she heard that her husband was keeping multiple side chicks. More facts were beginning to emerge and they were bitter truths.

    “So if my husband never had a relationship with Amaka, why is she claiming to be pregnant for him?” Princess wondered aloud. Eleks asked her to calm down since he was still talking.

    “I also hacked Amaka’s WhatsApp account and I made a shocking discovery. In one of the conversations she had with a friend named Nkechi, she told her that she was planning to get pregnant for Chief Egbe, your husband. But she did not go into details. But today, I’m going to find out how she finally got pregnant for your husband.

    I’m going to obtain the CCTV recordings at Atraka Hotels and I will find out exactly what happened. I will find out those your husband interacted with at the hotel and the manner of interaction. I will have all the answers you seek tomorrow. By tomorrow, you will know all of your husband’s side chicks. Just sharpen your ears and wait.” Eleks said.

    “I can’t wait to hear every details of this. I feel so terrible and I need to get back home and rest my head. I’m mentally drained right now. The unfortunate thing is that my house has become very unfriendly. There is a stranger in my house trying to take my husband away from me and she is succeeding. Please, help me and unravel this mystery before it is too late.” Princess was crying as she stood up and left the hotel.

    Meanwhile later that day, Eleks went to Atraka hotel to obtain the CCTV recordings. Of course, it was a difficult task but he has been in the business of investigation for long and he knows exactly what to do. The man in charge of security at the hotel had initially refused to release the vital videos, insisting that it was a breach of security.

    “What were you thinking before coming to make such a request? You actually believed I would release these videos to you? You want me to expose secrets of hotel visitors?” The security man asked. His uniform was coloured blue, just like the colour of the painting used on the hotel. He is a bit old and looked like a retired soldier who has grown up children to feed. He does not look like someone who is well paid, so from his appearance, Eleks concluded that the man can be bought.

    “Here is N200,000 for you sir. Please, copy the videos into this hard drive. I need you to do this fast because it is a matter of life and death. If I don’t have access to these videos in few hours, someone might die.” Eleks said confidently as he shoved the money and hard drive into the security man’s hand.

    “Please, wait for me at the reception. Come back within one hour for the videos.” The security man said. There were no more arguments because the N200k he received made him happy and softened his heart.

    “Money answereth all things and so says the Bible.” Eleks said to himself as he went away to wait happily like a lark.

    Soon, he went back and collected the hard drive and drove home with speed. He booted his laptop and started watching the videos. It spaned several months and he had to fast-forward some areas to save time. He discovered that Chief Egbe lodged in the hotel every weekend with a different side chick. Each of the videos showed how he stepped out of his car and enterd the hotel with different ladies each time. But he never saw a video where he he stepped out of a car with Amaka.

    However, one of the cameras placed at the back of the hotel captured something interesting. The back of the hotel has a deep rectangular hole that has waste in it. He zoomed the video and found that it is a big dump stand. Amaka who is the hotel cleaner was seen in the video as she arrived at the dump stand with a basket to dump some trash.

    But before she dumped the trash, she picked out a stuff that looked like a balloon and quickly put it in her handbag. Eleks zoomed the video and saw that what she picked was a freshly used love-making balloon which still contained male liquid fertilizer.

    “That’s it! The truth is finally out.” Eleks shouted when he saw what Amaka did in the CCTV clip. He picked up his phone and called Princess.

    “I have reasons to believe that Amaka got herself pregnant by stealing your husband’s male liquid fertilizer and injecting it into her pot of honey. There is a video I will like to show you when we meet tomorrow.” Eleks tells Princess.

    That night, Princess could not sleep very well. She was thinking of the length Amaka went so as to get what she wants.

    “This is crazy!” She said to herself around 3a.m before she finally slept off.

    🔸 Picked From The Dustbin:

    “I have a job for you. I want to see you as soon as possible. There is something urgent I want you to handle.” Princess was on the phone with Eleks, a private investigator who was recommended to her by a friend. The friend had promised her that Eleks could help unravel the real identity of Amaka. She became very worried after discovering that her husband spent the night with Amaka at the hospital. She decided to handle the situation her own way since Chief Egbe had refused to chase Amaka away from the house. She knew that she would soon loose her position in the house if she continues to keep calm.

    “I’m on my way. Your friend gave me your address already and I will be there in a few minutes.” Eleks responded to Princess. He was driving on top speed, but he matched the breaks when Princess told him that she did not want him to come the house because his presence could create suspecion.

    “Let us meet at Sheri Hotels. I’m already here waiting for you. We can’t talk at home because the people I want you to investigate are at my house. Having you at my house will give away the entire secret. Meet me at the hotel please.” Princess tells Eleks. Eleks turned his car and started driving to Sheri Hotels.

    Princess drove herself to the hotel, so she was alone. She had told her driver that she was going to make her hair and so there was no need for anyone to be with her. She wants everything discretely done. While waiting for Eleks, Princess ordered a cup of Chapman for herself. She was sipping the drink and deeply thinking of where Amaka could have come from and why she is bent on destroying her home.

    “I’m going to find out every shred of information about this impostor who is bent on giving me hypertension. I will dig into her past and discover who she is before I will personally strangle her to death if I find out that she is truly pregnant for my husband. She cannot just appear from nowhere and take over my home. I will fight this battle and win.” Princess said to herself. She was trying hard not to betray her emotions as some people at the hotel cast suspicious glances at her. Soon. Eleks arrived.

    “My name is Eleks and I’m at your service. Whatever information you want to find out about anyone, I will give it to you at the flip of my fingers. All you need to do is pay me good money.” Eleks said as soon as he sat down on a chair directly facing Princess. She ordered a cup of Champaign for Eleks who collected it and gulped everything at once like a thirsty donkey.

    “There is a girl who wants to snatch my husband. I want to know every single thing about her. She claims to be pregnant for my husband. My husband denies getting her pregnant but I don’t know what the truth is. I want you to find out what happened between them. I want to know who got her pregnant, where she comes from, her education and where she worked before entering my house. I want this done as fast as possible before she would give birth. She is already seven months pregnant.” Princess tells Eleks. She was not smiling and she was constantly hitting the table as she talked. She fought hard to control her voice from going up. Her heart is truly troubled and Eleks could feel the tension.

    “Your bill is N5 million. You are giving me half of the money before I will start. Then when I’m done, you will give me the rest of the money.” Eleks said. He requested for another cup of Champaign which he also drank the same way he drank the other one.

    “Money is not the problem. In fact, instead of N5 million, I’m paying you N7 million to get this job done with a few days. I don’t want to lose my husband. Like I said earlier, the girl in question is currently pregnant. I have never conceived for my husband. You can see how threatened I feel. If she gives birth to this baby and if truly my husband got her pregnant, I will be chased out of the house. I don’t want this to happen. Type your account number into my phone.” Princess said and handed her phone to Eleks. Within a few minutes, he got alert of N4 million.

    “When the job is done, I will transfer the balance of N3 million to you.” Princess said.

    “I need her name and phone number. I also need your husband’s phone number and work address.” Eleks said with a mild smile on his face. He was very happy after getting the alert of N4 million. Princess searched through her phone and called out Amaka’s phone number for Eleks. She had managed to steal it one day when Amaka was asleep in the living room.

    “Please, I want results. No excuses, no failures. My marriage is at stake here.” Princess tells Eleks. She was very emotional and was almost shedding tears. She grabbed her car keys and drove out of the hotel.

    Eleks commenced work immediately. First, he typed the phone number into his True Caller app and Amaka’s full name popped up as ‘Amaka Ekezi.’ Luckily for him, the True Caller also showed that Amaka works as a cleaner at Atraka Hotels. He drove to the hotel and asked the receptionist on duty if she knows anyone called Amaka Ekezi.

    “Yes! She is our cleaner but she is on leave. She is pregnant, so she is on leave until she delivers her baby.” The receptionist responded. She was typing and her eyes were on the computer screen as she talked to Eleks. The information she gave out confirmed to Eleks that he is investigating the right person and that he is at the right place.

    “I’m also wondering if you know Chief Egbe. He gave me a parcel to deliver to Amaka. Do you know him?” Eleks asked stylishly.

    “Why all these questions? What do you want? Are you a police officer?” The receptionist asked. She had become suspicious.

    “No! On the contrary, I’m a delivery man. I just told you I have a parcel from Chief Egbe and I’m supposed to deliver it to Amaka.” Eleks lied. He knew he was lying but considered it necessary for the job.

    “Yes, Chief Egbe is one of our biggest customers who visits this hotel every weekend. Would you like me to take the package on Amaka’s behalf?” The receptionist asked and then went back to what she was doing.

    “Unfortunately, I was instructed to hand it over to her in person. But thanks for giving me attention.” Eleks said with a smile. He drove off to a safe location and then packed his car. He brought out his phone and called Princess.

    “I have a little breakthrough to announce. I can establish now that Amaka is a hotel cleaner and that your husband visits this hotel every week. I will have more information for you tomorrow.” Eleks said.

    “That’s good. I always knew he was telling lies. Now, I’m going to expose him.” Princess said as she dropped the call.

    🔸 Picked From The Dustbin:

    “Why have you refused to come into my room since I moved into this house? I’m also your wife and I deserve to be serviced like my co-wife. Instead of doing your bedroom duties, you have refused to come close to my room and I have been sleeping alone for many days.” Amaka told Chief Egbe. He was going to his office early in the morning when Amaka came downstairs and blocked his way. She refused to allow him move an inch and he was running late.

    “I’m not your husband. I did not marry you and I did not get you pregnant. I do not owe you any bedroom service. The earlier you get that into your skull, the better for you. You should be happy that I have allowed you to stay in my house pending when you will give birth and then you will leave. It is out of my good heart that I have done this. If you want to be serviced in the night by a man, look for the person who got you pregnant to service you. But if you insist on making me uncomfortable in my own house, I will chase you away without delay.” Chief Egbe warned. He slightly pushed Amaka and moved her away from the door so he could pass and go to work.

    But immediately he touched her, Amaka intentionally fell on the floor and started weeping bitterly. She held per big belly and shouted loudly. She was behaving like a pregnant woman in labour and this got Chief Egbe scared. Although he had opened the door of the room to leave, he returned when Amaka continued shouting as if the baby wants to come out. She clutched her waist and opened her mouth wide and shouted as if Chief Egbe had injured her badly.

    “I’m in pains! You have killed me. What did I do to deserve this beating early this morning? Is it a bad thing to carry your baby? Why did you slap me? Look at how you kicked me as if I said anything wrong. I was just demanding for my rights as your wife and then you decided to beat me. If I knew you were a wife beater, I would not have agreed to marry you.” Amaka said. A lot of tears were rushing from her eyes and her nose was running. She was also intentionally spitting saliva as if she had no more strength to live. Amaka did all these to scare Chief Egbe.

    “But I did not beat you. Why are you calling me a wife beater? I only shoved you out of my way so I could go to work. Stop the lies, I did not beat you. Don’t you dare tarnish my hard-earned image.” Chief Egbe said and quickly rushed to where she was lying and lifted her up with his two arms. He was scared so he made up his mind to take her to the hospital in case he had injured her without knowing. But immediately he lifted her up, Amaka stopped crying. Also, Princess, appeared in the scene because she had heard the cries let out by Amaka.

    “What is happening here? Why are you carrying her like an egg? You said you didn’t get her pregnant. So since when did you start pampering her if you did not impregnate her? Now I can see clearly that you have a lot to hide. Why are you carrying her like a baby?” Princess asked her husband with anger on her face. Chief immediate froze and didn’t know what to tell Princess. He behaved like a man who had been caught red-handed doing something wrong.

    “He beat me. He kicked my belly. He slapped me and now he has injured me. Ask him why he is beating a pregnant woman like me. My co-wife please help me and ask him. I’m in pains.” Amaka cried bitterly to Princess. Princess became alarmed. Even with the anger in her heart, she still felt it was wrong to beat a woman, not to talk of a pregnant woman. But unknown to her, Amaka was telling lies and trying very hard to create another chaos in the house.

    “Why did you beat her? Are you out of your mind? Chief, why would you slap a pregnant woman? You got her pregnant and denied flatly even when the evidence is everywhere. Now, you want to kill her? If you kill her, you alone will go to jail because I won’t follow you. I told you to send her away and you refused, now you have started beating her.” Princess tells her husband. She was shouting on top of her voice and Chief Egbe was thoroughly embarrassed as he did not know how to defend himself against the two women holding him by the jugular.

    “I did not beat her. I did nothing wrong.” Chief Egbe said but his defense fell on deaf ears. When it was clear that he was not going to win the argument, he moved and stepped out of the building, still with Amaka in his arms. He angrily shoved her into the front seat of his car and then started driving to the hospital.

    “Are you not happy now that you are driving me around town? It is just the both of us in this car. It feels very nice. Love is a beautiful thing. Are you not happy?” Amaka asked Chief who was angry and trying to maintain a strong face. Because of Amaka’s behavior, he would be unable to go to work that day.

    “Don’t pretend as if you don’t like me. Look at me and enjoy my beauty. You are not romantic at all. Your face is always strong. Is this how you treat my co-wife too?” Amaka said with a sarcastic laughter on her face. Chief refused to talk or to look at her. He focused his attention on the tarred road and continued to steer the car with speed as he raced to the hospital.

    “Smile now. Oya sorry. Don’t be angry.” Amaka said, while trying to touch Chief Egbe’s hand which he was using to change gear.

    “Stop before you make me to have accident. We are on the road and you are not supposed to play with me because I’m driving.” Chief Egbe said.

    “Why are you always shouting? Can’t you talk with a romantic voice for once? Me, I don’t like this kind of husband that I married.” Amaka said, frowning her face.

    “I’m not your husband.” Chief Egbe responded bitterly. They had arrived at the hospital and Amaka had stopped laughing and started crying immediately the nurses came to bring her down from the car.

    “Good morning Chief. What happened to her?” One of the nurses asked as Amaka was being wheeled into the ward.

    “He beat me up this morning. He beat me up and injured me. I don’t even know if the baby is still alive. He kicked my belly. I’m in severe pains right now. Please help, I don’t want to die.” Amaka said with tears in her eyes.

    “But Chief why would you beat a pregnant woman? You are a respected personality and this kind of a thing is not expected from people like you.” The nurse said, looking at Chief Egbe directly like a police officer investigating a crime.

    “For God’s sake I didn’t not beat this lady. She just wants to tarnish my image. Why are you doing this to me Amaka? What did I do to you?” Chief asked. He was almost crying because he was greatly embarrassed by Amaka’s allegation and the nurses believed her words because anything pregnant women say sounds like absolute truth.

    The nurses examined Amaka and no injuries were found in her body. The baby was also fine, but Amaka insisted on sleeping in the hospital even when she was discharged. She claimed she was still in pains. She insisted that Chief Egbe must stay with her in the hospital.

    “If you don’t stay with me tonight, I will go out of this place and I will go to the radio station and tell journalists that I’m your wife and you beat me and threw me out.” Amaka said to Chief Egbe. The chief did not know how to handle the situation, so he stayed. He already faced enough embarrassment and didn’t want his name broadcasted on radio as a wife beater.

    Chief likes women a lot. He was able to control himself at home, but he could not control himself when he and Amaka were alone in the hospital ward. He made love to her. That was how Amaka lured Chief to herself away from Princess.

    Crazy days ahead.
