Theme: Who should be blamed?

      Arike's POV

"My father signed the billion naira deal with Adedayo after we got married. I got to know that they used me to get what they wanted from my father. Adedayo stopped paying attention to me, he barely cames home to sleep and when he was around, he never looked at me. Several times I had to get us drunk so we could make love as couples but for how long did I keep doing that? A long time and each time he wakes up ext day, he feels irritated by my presence. Dayo made me feel worthless, so I changed up too. I slept with few men just to hurt him. I felt abandoned and useless so tell me one reason why I shouldn't make him suffer?!" She grimaced, anger clear in her expression.

"So you also didn't accept the divorce because you wanted him to suffer?" I asked.

"Yes..he can't back out..never. We vowed forever at the altar..so I am not going to accept to divorce him." Her eyes flooded with tears and this time around I could see the pains in them.

Both parties are both claiming victims, now who should be blamed?

"So you framed him just to make him suffer too?" I asked hoping to get what I wanted from her.

The corners of her mouth turned up. "Yes..he has to be the one to suffer while I be the victim!"

I closed my eyes...this was it...she just confessed it! Shalewa had let her guard down because she was angry. I should still push through with my plan to get more from her. Though I felt pity for Shalewa too for everything she went through in this marriage.

"You don't have to do this..." I said my voice coming out in a tight whisper.

She shot me a glare. "I will do everything in my power to make sure that Dayo ends up in Jail!"

"Shalewa there is still chance for you to come out clear and confess the truth. We can settle this out of court if you want.." I tried to persuade her.

Her jaw clenched and expressed hardened even more. "Settle? Settle what? This case? No..Get out! Get out you imbecile! Get out!" She snarled.

I felt insulted by her words! I don't really care if Dayo was also to be blamed for what was happening! Shalewa went to far! She should have devised another way to get back at Dayo for hurting her. And isn't lying about who the father of her child was enough to make him suffer? Dayo found out the boy he assumes to be his son wasn't really his child - that was a huge blow for him.

"Get out!" She pointed towards the door.

My mouth twitched. "Justice will prevail!"

"Get out!" She reached out and pressed the alarm on the door.

"I will see you in court." I said before storming out of the room.

I could hear footsteps approaching probably the guards meant to watch the door or the nurses on duty, and then I ran the opposite way to avoid them. I hope this doesn't stir up trouble for doctor Nelson. I rushed into doctor Nelson's office.

Bamidele and Doctor Nelson were still waiting for me.

"How was it?" Bamidele asked.

"It wasn't easy..she found out I was there for Dayo. But I am afraid that she might tell the nurses about me because she pressed the alarm before I left. Won't it get you into trouble because you told the nurse that you want to give Shalewa her drugs?" I blabbed in fear for Doctor Nelson.
