I was still going through my plight, praying, crying and thinking
when my phone rang, attracting my attention. I grabbed the phone and
sighed on seeing the name of the caller who was no other person than
Comfort.
At first i wanted to decline answering her but the priest’s words came ringing back in my head once again.
I breathed heavily, controlled my mood and answered the phone call.
“hello good day, hope i’m not calling at the wrong time?” she asked quietly, her voice devoid of the usual spirit i was used to.
“what do you want?” i asked a bit coldly.
“i think you shouldn’t be asking that sort of question to me. You already know what i want from you” she answered quietly. I bit my lips and closed my eyes.
I surely felt like smashing her head that moment but i just couldn’t, instead was about doing the opposite in order to set things right.
“where are you?” I asked curiously.
“i’m at the school front gate, heading to my lodge” she answered.
“you can come over to my office. We have some things to discuss” i said to her calmly.
“alright, i’m turning around” she replied while i hung up and sighed with resignation.
Fifteen minutes later, she walked into my office looking serious and a bit scared. I silently signalled her to sit on the empty chair before my desk, she sat down and returned my gaze.
“you broke into my life, broke into my home, ruined my marriage, ruined my happiness and my job is equally now on the line. Yet i have no choice than to accept the reality that you have come to stay in life. What a life” i poured out with regret. She simply stared at me, saying no words.
“so what exactly do you need from me. Outline the basic things and don’t try mentioning the impossible” i asked seriously. She shrugged with a shoulder, her eyes all over me with disbelief.
“emm i need money for my ante natal and personal expenses. I need a new accommodation. You already know my hostel rent expires this December and i can’t live comfortably with my parents. Moreover I’m doing my Nysc in this town, so i badly need the accommodation. Finally you need to meet my parents, it’s very Important. It’s not as if i’m asking you to marry me but meeting them is the right thing to do” she listed out while i weighed her demands in my mind.
“alright” i muttered with resignation, leaving her gasping with joy. Her eyes instantly sparkled as she drew forward with wet eyes.
“did you just say alright?” she asked excitedly. I nodded silently while deep down i felt like murdering her.
I simply accepted doing all the things she outlined in a way of correcting my wrongs even though i saw no way it was going to change my situation which undoubtedly was very bad.
“hope it’s the right step?” i wondered over and over..

Mr Lecturer Episode 26
As i headed to my office that fateful morning, I prepared my mind for the difficult task ahead.
Not only was i about having a long talk with my father in law, the old man equally was a faculty dean and a very powerful academia. Of course he could ruin my future with just a signature. There was no doubt I had to be extremely diplomatic when dealing with him.
On getting to my office, i tried calling my wife on phone but she refused answering just like i expected. I breathed deeply, muttered quick prayers and tried concentrating on a new work i was getting ready for publishing while waiting for my father in law at the same time. I really would have preferred going over to the old man’s office for the discussion but since he chose coming over to mine, I had no choice than to nervously wait for him.
He finally showed up an hour later, looking very serious and grim. I quickly stood up to greet him, respectfully offering my hand for a handshake which he declined accepting, giving me the first hint of trouble.
“i hope you know the reason i’m here?. My daughter told me she moved out of your house. She told me everything” he said seriously, searching my face with his eyes. I swallowed hard and stared back at him, visibly confused on how to explain myself to him.
“I did wrong sir. I cheated on my wife. I betrayed your daughter’s trust. I broke the sacred oath of marriage, but don’t kill me. Allow me to fix things. I beg of you” i pleaded solemnly. The old man simply scoffed and sat down on the empty seat opposite my table.
“how do you fix a house that has already collapsed?. You were unable to fix it when the structure was still shaking. How do you fix it now that it has collapsed?” he asked seriously.
“i will start from the beginning sir. I will start from the foundation to build it over again” i answered quickly as if it was a simple thing to do but the old man wasn’t moved at all.
“shut up!” he barked.
“do you think i’m a fool?” he asked,
“no not at all sir” i answered with panic.
“so don’t try acting a telenovela with me. Everyone now acts as if the world is as easy as this nonsense shown in movies. Your marriage with my daughter is barely a year, you got another woman pregnant and you are here trying to tell me you will fix things. What do you thing you are going to fix?. Our relationship is over from this minute. I will personally see to the divorce formalities. The bride price will be returned, but then better start packing up your things because your days in this school is now on countdown” he barked and stood up while i shook with fear.
“i beg of you sir, don’t add more fuel into the fire already consuming me” i begged with all my heart but unfortunately the old man looked more hurt and annoyed than his daughter when she left my house.
Not only did the world crash on my feet. It exploded and shattered the only hope i had left that very moment. I felt that the prayers i offered to God earlier in the day was rejected. I felt my sins were totally now beyond redemption even though the priest’s words kept ringing in my head as the old man left my office. I slowly dropped down and cried hard.
The reality of losing my wife and job in a hard country such as ours was so hard to bear.

Mr Lecturer Episode 25
just was confused on what to do. I couldn’t believe my wife was gone
for real. I thought about my parents. I thought about her family. It
was just a matter of minutes before they all get to hear the
heartbreaking news.
The only solution i could think of that moment was running to God. For the first time in my life i looked towards God to solve my problems.
Yea i was a Christian quite alright but never was a strong one, but the situation of things clearly needed divine intervention and it clearly wouldn’t take much from me to kneel and pray. I knew God was all merciful and forgiving. He was my only hope.
I quietly dressed up and headed to a catholic church down the street to offer prayers to God. Luckily the parish priest was holding a confession session when i got to the church. I bravely joined the queue and waited for my turn to confess my sins before the Reverend father.
“perhaps God can talk to me through him” i reasoned as i set up my mind to do something i hated doing. Of course it was bad condition that pushes most people to God, just like it was doing to me that moment.
It soon got to my turn and i boldly went and confessed everything before the listening ears of the parish priest.
“My brother you truly offended God in many ways but i’m glad to tell you that God doesn’t turn his back to anyone who runs to him for shelter. As you were making your confession, God opened my eyes for your sake. Yea i saw a very rough future before you but don’t give up. Your wife will still remain yours at the end of the day. Your family and hers will still remain one big family, but for that to happen never turn your back on the second woman nor her child. I couldn’t see them in your future but nevertheless, do the right thing and fulfill your responsibility. Remember nothing is hidden under the sun. Do all i told you and leave God to do the rest for you. Remember i never saw the second woman in your future and so shall it be if you take care of her presently” he concluded before dishing out prayer points and bible verses i should read and pray on everyday.
I left the church thirty minutes later, relieved and optimistic but as i headed to my car, I got a very surprising phone call from my wife’s father.
“hey Caleb, i’ll be at your office in forty minutes time. Hope you are there” he said with his usual commanding tone and hung up without waiting to hear my reply. I instantly froze with fear.
I never knew the old man who was more in Abuja than in the state was in town.
My greatest fear was confronting him over the mess i dragged myself into and it was all about happening

I tried once again to beg and possibly mutter some explanations to
her even though i knew my plea wasn’t going to get anywhere because what
i did was total unforgivable and heartbreaking. I bravely sat on the
bed and called her.
“baby please can you listen to me?” i begged nervously.
“I want to be left alone Caleb. Let me think about my life please” she cried.
I stared at her silently for a while and tried holding her gently but she flung away my hand furiously, turning to face me with eyes filled with anger and tears.
“what’s wrong with you?. Leave me alone bikonu , or do you want me to leave your house this night?” she threatened, while i quickly backed away.
“you can sleep in any of the empty rooms. Just get out” she barked.
I couldn’t do anything else than to obey her and so I quietly left the room for her, first heading to the dinning room to clear the dinner plates which were still lying on the table. After dropping the plates in the kitchen, i headed to one of the empty bedrooms, where i spent all night thinking about the problem i brought unto myself. I couldn’t help but think of what my wife would do the very next day.
I was however certain of one thing. Things were never going to be the same between us.
Very early the next day, precisely at 5:55am, I sneaked into the master room to check on her, but was surprised to see her fully dressed up, packing a luggage. I was totally alarmed and quickly drew close to stop her from leaving.
“my love” i breathed,
“i’m moving into a friend’s house. I will be there for sometime before bravely making up my mind to meet my parents. You can come this Christmas to collect the bride price you paid on my head” she said seriously, wounding my heart with her words. I quickly held her hand, but she instantly snatched it away.
“there is no point remaining married to you. You not only cheated on our marriage but also expecting a child from it. I no longer have a stake in your life so it’s over between us” she concluded dragged her luggage and tried leaving the room but i strongly held her down.
“i hope you won’t want me to create a scene or do you?. Just let me leave right now or our neighbours will gather for us” she threatened and forcibly walked out of our apartment, my life and marriage.
“It’s that the end?” was the question i kept asking myself that fateful morning. my life was instantly at a standstill.
I caused it all.
how do I redeem myself?

“Madam, the news i carry will be of great interest to you and i’m here mostly due to the fact that your husband refused doing the right thing” Comfort calmly said to my wife who silently sat on the center table in our sitting room and faced her with all attention while i sweated and stood with fear, clueless on what exactly to do. Of course there was nothing i could do that exact moment than to keep quiet and listen to all the silly girl had to say.
“i’m pregnant for your husband. I’m having a baby for him” she coldly threw the bomb. My wife drew back with shock.
“you can ask him, yea ask your husband. I can’t believe he’s still keeping it away from you. It’s been up to a month i broke the news to him” she revealed, before taking her time to narrate the history of our outrageous affair to my wife who listened without saying a word. She shamelessly told her everything, not even skipping the sex we had at the house months back.
“believe me i came here with a noble mind. I’m not trying to take away your husband but simply to make a report to you. He has to do the right thing by taking responsibility of my pregnancy. He has to see my parents and own up to the family way he has gotten me into. I can’t stand by myself without his support” she summarized and hopefully stared at the poor woman, expecting a reply from her, but all my wife could do was just to stand up with pain and tears which dropped from her eyes, gave me a long look and quietly walked into our bedroom without saying a word while i looked away with guilt.
_______
“you have done your worst right?” i shouted at Comfort as soon as my wife was out of sight, advanced towards the bold girl and lashed out a dirty hot slap on her left cheek. She fell backwards on my chair, gasping with shock.
It clearly was my first time of hitting a woman and i really wasn’t proud about it but nevertheless it never worried me because that moment i was like a man who had lost all his dignity and wealth. I was like a drowning man struggling with his last breathe to survive.
“get out?” i barked, dragged the girl to her feet and roughly threw her out of my apartment before rushing into the bedroom in search of my wife who was crying with her head buried Between two pillows.
“my love” i breathed, standing few steps away from her, too scared to come any nearer.
“i’m not your love. You wouldn’t have betrayed nor kept this information from me supposing you had any atom of love for me. Just go, go away, go after your baby mama. She’s your responsibility. Our marriage is over” she cried, destroying the remaining pieces of my heart with the simple but painful words that came out of her mouth.

I couldn’t decide on anything to do concerning Comfort’s pregnancy nor was i able to tell my wife about it.
Slowly two weeks passed by without Comfort showing up to disturb me, a development that made me very scared at first but when the third week equally passed without her showing up, I felt perhaps she had changed her mind towards using the pregnancy to hold me down.
The second week of December slowly arrived, making it a month i last saw Comfort. I couldn’t imagine where she was or what she was planning and i equally held myself from calling her on phone. My wife unfortunately was still yet to get pregnant and this time around was overly worried because according to her, she was scared of meeting my parents during the coming Christmas without anything to show for our marriage.
However On Tuesday morning, in the second week of December, Comfort surprisingly showed up at my office looking very serious and cold. I was shocked to see her but tried my best to maintain my composure.
“so how far sir?. What plans have you made for me?” she asked seriously as she sat before me.
“plans?” i repeated slowly.
“yes of course. I stayed away for a month in order to give you time to organise yourself and make preparations for me. Are you trying to tell me you did nothing?” she asked while i speechlessly stared at her.
“i’ll be going for my NYSC next march, and i’m planning to serve in this state due to my condition, so i really don’t understand you. Anyway i guess i will do everything my own way, since you are not ready to make it easy for us” she poured out, stood up and left without another word while I bit my lips nervously as i wondered what she had up in her mind.
There wasn’t any doubt she had something well planned out. I tried thinking of what she could do as she threatened but nothing came to my mind.
I however soon found out what her threat was all about later that evening when she surprisingly showed up at my house by 7pm in the evening when my wife and I was having dinner. I couldn’t believe my eyes as i saw her walk into my sitting room after my surprised wife answered the door bell. She slowly settled down on my couch, gave my wife a long look before leaving her eyes on me as i abandoned my meal and nervously drew close to her.
“i’m sorry for coming so late and i also apologise in advance for the shocking news i bear. Thanks for not asking too much questions before letting me in” she said with a cold smile to my wife who was absolutely shocked and confused with her boldness…

I couldn’t eat nor concentrate on anything as i got home later in the evening and at night, I simply stayed awake, thinking of the trap i got myself into. There wasn’t any doubt i needed to seek out Comfort and try every possible means to get her abort the pregnancy. Yea it really was a heavy decision, considering the fact that i was yet to have a child of my own. I just couldn’t risk destroying my peaceful home by accepting a child from a woman not married to me. However i knew convincing Comfort to get rid of her pregnancy was an impossible task i was ready to give a trial.
I equally knew the silly girl was trying to cash in on my wife’s inability to have a child to get some kind of deal for herself. I have seen such thing happen in movies and i wasn’t going to allow it happen to me. Early the next day, i rushed my breakfast and headed to my office. I called Comfort on the way and asked her to meet me at my office as soon as she can. She showed up about forty five minutes later, looking very serious and ready for a fight. “you better have something good for me sir” she said as she sat down and faced me. I smiled and stared back at her. “so what exactly do you want from me?” i asked curiously.
She smiled and breathed deeply. “of course you know what i want from you. A good home for my kid. Good health and education insurance for him. I want to be a part of your family as well” she poured out while i calmly controlled the anger boiling up in me. “so where will that leave my wife?” i asked her. “she won’t have any choice than to be accommodative. I’m not asking to move into your house but it still won’t stop you from telling her the situation on ground” she replied quickly. “you are so wicked!” i screamed at her. “after fucking me with all the styles you could think of, you expected me to move on and find a husband. Can you even count the number of times you had sex with me?. I bet we had more sex together than you had with your wife” she sparked and stood up. I scratched my head and stared at her speechlessly. Her replies and behaviour cleared told me that she was very happy about the pregnancy. It was obvious she had wanted it all along.
“how much do you want in order to get rid of it?” i asked quietly. She shook her head and drew back with fire in her eyes. “i’m having this baby my dear and don’t dare under estimate me. I know what to do and how to have my way in everything. Better start making provisions for me because i doubt if we are ever meeting again to discuss this issue. I have my school clearance to do. Bye bye” she hissed and left my office while i speechlessly watched her leave. The silly girl was somehow leaving me with no option than to stain my hands with her blood out of desperation.

She showed up about forty five minutes later, looking very serious and ready for a fight. “you better have something good for me sir” she said as she sat down and faced me. I smiled and stared back at her. “so what exactly do you want from me?” i asked curiously.
She smiled and breathed deeply. “of course you know what i want from you. A good home for my kid. Good health and education insurance for him. I want to be a part of your family as well” she poured out while i calmly controlled the anger boiling up in me. “so where will that leave my wife?” i asked her. “she won’t have any choice than to be accommodative. I’m not asking to move into your house but it still won’t stop you from telling her the situation on ground” she replied quickly. “you are so wicked!” i screamed at her. “after fucking me with all the styles you could think of, you expected me to move on and find a husband. Can you even count the number of times you had sex with me?. I bet we had more sex together than you had with your wife” she sparked and stood up. I scratched my head and stared at her speechlessly. Her replies and behaviour cleared told me that she was very happy about the pregnancy. It was obvious she had wanted it all along.
“how much do you want in order to get rid of it?” i asked quietly. She shook her head and drew back with fire in her eyes. “i’m having this baby my dear and don’t dare under estimate me. I know what to do and how to have my way in everything. Better start making provisions for me because i doubt if we are ever meeting again to discuss this issue. I have my school clearance to do. Bye bye” she hissed and left my office while i speechlessly watched her leave. The silly girl was somehow leaving me with no option than to stain my hands with her blood out of desperation.

“You are kidding right?. I can’t believe you just made that silly joke” i replied with shock. She rolled her eyes, grabbed her handbag and a fetched out a piece of paper from it. “here is the test result” she said, offering me the paper which i refused to accept. Instead, i stood up and stared at her furiously. “i don’t know the game you are trying to play here but if it’s more money that you want from me just spill it out” i barked. She stared at me and breathed deeply. “why do you always think that everything is all about money?. You got me pregnant and you have to take the responsibility” she breathed strongly. “this was never part of our agreement” i reminded her. “yea it never was but i’m now pregnant for you. I didn’t put the pregnancy in there by myself. You did” she accused. I bit my lips and backed her. I couldn’t believe my ears. I couldn’t even remember sleeping with her without protection.
“what you are doing isn’t right Comfort. You know i never slept with you without protection” i reminded her. “yea you are right, but maybe you failed to notice that one of the condoms you used on me had a leakage or something. I’m no virgin Mary. You got me pregnant and we have to make plans for the baby” she defended herself. “you said “we”?. You must be out of your mind involving me” i screamed. “you have to find a way of making plans for me and equally open up to your wife before this thing comes out public. I won’t hide the truth when people starts asking questions” she threatened seriously. I simply eyed her and stormed out of the hotel room while she ran after me, catching up with me at the hallway. She strongly grabbed my left hand, forcing me to stop. “this isn’t like the last time you walked out on me. The baby i’m carrying is ours and there isn’t anything you can do to deny it” she said quickly. “i have a wife Comfort and i can’t make you my second wife” i said to her, snatching my hand from her grasp.
“I hope you know what you are doing?. I won’t bring up this issue with you again but don’t come crying when the consequences come crashing at your door step” she threatened, eyed me and left the building. I just didn’t know what to do or which way to go. I badly needed a child but not from her. I couldn’t help but think of my wife’s reaction if she discovers what i had done. “no there must be a way out” i breathed. There wasn’t anyway i was going to allow Comfort to be the mother of my first child. “what if she ends up giving me a boy?. That would be total calamity, my family will never have peace again. Of course we are in Africa where the first male child of a man is most times the heir to everything, whether legitimately born or not” i reasoned fearfully. “oh my God no” i breathed, very uncertain of my future.

Mr Lecturer - Episode 19
That was how my affair with Comfort blossomed into a deadly inferno without any of us getting tired of each other. We virtually had sex in every corner of my apartment with no holds barred. She slowly stole my heart and my attention, drawing me away from my wife without me realising it. My wife however came home after the two weeks holiday with her mum, expecting lots of love and attention from me, but unfortunately i was unable to live up to her expectation. I couldn’t even spend an hour with her without getting bored, likewise having sex {with her} became a problem. All that was in my mind was Comfort.
I always looked forward to a hot blowing sex session with her, thereby neglecting my matrimonial duties and my wife who was still yet to get pregnant for me. My wife however never complained in the change she noticed in me, thinking that it was perhaps work stress that made me so withdrawn from her without suspecting that i was cheating on our marriage. Slowly i became a professional in the art of lying and deception. I perfectly hid my relationship with Comfort and always had a sweet lie to tell whenever she asked any suspicious question.
Comfort and I carried on with the illicit affair until she graduated four months later, but just as we all know, it’s very hard to eat your cake and have it back. The situation of things instantly changed as soon as she became a graduate. I had hoped that our relationship would end with her graduation but unfortunately it was when the main problem popped up. She told me she was pregnant the day i planned saying goodbye to her, shocking me with the revelation that tore my heart into bits. “i’m doing you a huge favour dearest. Your wife is yet to conceive but here i’m giving you the greatest news of your life” she summarized with her usual killing smile while i speechlessly stared at her with shock.

Mr Lecturer - Episode 18
Seriously my decision to move on with Comfort was very insane and totally uncalled for, but just like most christains i blamed the devil for corrupting my mind. Nevertheless there was this spirit of adventure, a strange kind of sensation that found its way into my body, blinding me from seeing the thick line of reality especially whenever comfort was before me. Just like i said in previous episodes, i never had many sexual adventures prior to my marriage, so the feeling of being wanted by a beautiful young lady who equally assured me of every secrecy i could ever ask for really got into my head. I doubt if any of you guys reading this story will be able to resist Comfort supposing you were in my position. Two days later, I did a very unusual thing by inviting her to my house. She showed up at exactly 7:45pm that Thursday evening looking very stunning in a sexy revealing gown. “i can’t believe you actually invited me here. What a good start in our relationship but how about your wife?” she asked as she walked into my apartment. “she’s out of town. I’m here all alone” i breathed quietly.
“Aren’t you bothered that someone, probably a neighbour might tell her about my visit?” she intelligently asked as she settled down in my living room. I smiled and shook my head. “it’s a possibility i can’t deny but you are here already and i can’t turn back the hands of time” i answered. “so what now?” she asked, crossing her legs provocatively. “yea i think my body needs the kind of fire in you. Our first time together was memorable but i want something hotter” i teased, knelt by her side and kissed her. “oh you are not a gentleman, Seriously. You didn’t even offer me anything huh” she hissed playfully, while her left hand unbuttoned my shirt, giving her access to my nipples which she squeezed with the same hand. “how about a bathroom sex?. I bet your wife is yet to give it to you?” she asked. “c’mon see my height?, just like my wife you aren’t the same height with me for that shit” i answered, softly kissing her again. “don’t you have a kitchen stool huh?, or even a bathtub?” she asked while i rolled my eyes and smiled. “i’m going to teach you how to be a bad boy. I pray you don’t run” she joked and bit my ear.
_______
Fifteen minutes later, we were totally naked in my bathroom. The only thing on her was a shower cap which she used in covering her hair. “let the show begin baby” she giggled playfully, turned on the shower and climbed on the kitchen stool i brought in for her. She placed her right leg on the toilet seat and bent seductively, opening her kitty for a freeway penetration. I quickly wore a condom and moved in, grabbing her super sleek ass as water poured on us. “don’t you wish your wife is hot like me. Don’t you¿ :-( ” she sang as i rammed into her from behind. Oh Comfort was just the type of devil you pray to see every night.

“no” i breathed, broke away from her hold and moved over to another corner of the room. She laughed, turned and faced me once again. “sir i’m sorry to say this but you are not behaving like a man. You are not behaving like a man that has seen a woman’s pant. Seriously your behaviour is so annoying” she poured out coldly, while i bit my lips as i returned her gaze. “i don’t know if you are being paid to mess with me but it’s not going to work. Just get out from my office” i said softly. She gently settled on her chair and shook her head. “you have already cheated on your wife with me and i know you still seriously want me. I see the desire in your eyes. You are just so indecisive and scared.
A very bad character for a man” she murmured, shrugged and continued. “you should appreciate me for. doing your dirty work for you. I’m just doing what you are supposed to be doing. Do you actually want me to walk away from your life?” she asked and kept quiet. I breathed deeply. “you talk too much for a student. You have to show a little respect” I cautioned. She stood up and grabbed her handbag. “call me when you make up your mind. I’m leaving” she said with a sad look and moved towards the door. “wait” i suddenly breathed. She scoffed, turned and faced me once again. “i know no one does anything with no gain. So please tell me. What should i expect if i move on with you?. I have a wife i hold so dearly and you know, i can’t replace her with you?” i asked with a furiously pounding heart.
She smiled, drew forward and softly grabbed my shirt. “hmmmm a nicely put question. Well let me be honest, all i hope to gain from you are simply the entitlements befitting a mistress of a lecturer. We are in tough times you know and most times we do things that are out of the ordinary just to survive. I will get you in no trouble with your family and in return you will never allow me get in trouble with my pocket” she said boldly, drawing me back with a strange kind of shock. “but can i afford you?” i asked as i nervously looked her all over. “your hair, clothes, makeup, can I ?” i asked. “how much do you think a lady’s maintenance cost these days? Seriously it won’t even affect your salary. I have to leave now but if you are serious and ready to add some spark into my life. You have to take my offer before one of the new lecturers that came into this school with you takes it” she said softly, breathed deeply and left. I speechlessly watched her leave while my head burned with worry. Comfort simply was a super witch, so charming and spirited. Even though i was scared of admitting it openly. I so fucking needed her.

Mr Lecturer - Episode 16
My wife and her mother finally left for Abuja very early on Tuesday morning, leaving me all alone in the house. I really felt empty watching them leave but there was nothing i could do than pray for God’s grace and blessings. I headed to my office later that morning to meet a group of first year students who missed my biology test waiting me. I quickly attended to them, by keeping aside my strict policy and giving them a lengthy assignment in place of the test. As they left my office fifteen minutes later, Comfort walked in with her usual deceiving smile. I instantly kept a serious face on seeing her while the events of the previous week flashed into my mind. Mrs Nnamdi’s curious stare slowly appeared in head.
The image of how she ran into us at a restaurant slowly played in my head. “what is it again?” i coldly asked Comfort who simply kept smiling with her eyes on me. A situation that made me very uncomfortable, but before i could say another word, a knock landed on my door which slowly opened as the senator’s daughter who i followed to her house the previous day, walked in with a lightly wrapped small basket. She appeared a bit surprised on seeing Comfort but still maintained her composure as she dropped the basket on my table. “good morning sir, we forgot wrapping up something for you yesterday. It’s just the anniversary gifts. My mum specially packed this for you” she explained calmly. “wow do thank your mum for me. I really can’t wait to see what she packed inside, but i guess i will have to save the pleasure till i get home” i said humorously. She shrugged, laughed and left while comfort’s face coloured deeply as she silently watched the drama. “you know seriously our closeness is getting out of hand. People easily read meaning out of nothing” i quickly scolded her as soon as we were alone once again.
She stood up, went to my office entrance door and locked it, forcing me to sprang up with surprise. “what’s wrong with you?, what do you want?” i asked with a slightly raised tone. “you know what i want. I’m not after your money nor anything. I want your person not your personality. I want you as my Caleb and not as my Lecturer” she said frankly with no holds barred. “you are just trying to mess with my head. I know you want something else from me” i breathed. “what else can i possible want from you apart from a relationship?” she pushed. “no this is strange, very strange. A girl telling me she loves me?. Oh no it isn’t possible. It never happened when i was a student and single. Surely it can’t be possible” i breathed aloud. She drew closer and wrapped her hands around my neck. “there isn’t any harm, giving it a trial to confirm my true feelings. Kiss me” she invited provocatively. I stared at her lips and swallowed hard. The temptation was just too great and irresistible but i couldn’t imagine myself getting down with her in my office. “just a kiss” she invited again.

Mr Lecturer - Episode 15
My wife’s mother showed up very late in the evening like she promised. It really was such a happy day for my wife and she really spent almost the whole night chatting with her mum while i stayed awake in my room thinking over the situation i was slowly dragging myself into. Truly i was very lucky that Nnamdi and his wife were brilliant folks. They gave me the benefit of trust by keeping sealed lips instead of damaging my wife’s fragile heart with such heart blowing information. Of course i owed them big time.

Early the next day, i headed to my school to conduct the last exam of the semester while my wife stayed back at home to prepare and set things in order, ahead of her holiday trip to Abuja.

10:30am, SCHOOL PREMISES As I headed back to my office after a very stressful exam invigilation. I ran into the Senator’s daughter at the parking lot in front of my office. She was the first to see me and quickly blocked my path politely. “good morning sir!. You didn’t attend my parents Anniversary, what happened?” she instantly queried. I shrugged and smiled. “i’m sorry about that. I can still send them my greetings, can’t I?” i answered calmly. Her eyes instantly brightened. “yea you can. Actually i told them about you, especially my mum. She was disappointed that you failed to show up after all i said about you” she said seriously, forcing me to stare at her with disbelief. “you can’t be serious?. What on earth can you actually tell them about me?” i asked. “seriously i don’t know if you can make it to my house today. My parents are leaving the country on Wednesday and i really will feel bad if you don’t meet them after all i said about you. I bet fifteen minutes of your time will be very much enough to see them” she added pleadingly while i stood indecisively for some seconds, wondering why she was so anxious to get me meet her parents. “c’mon sir, it’s just fifteen minutes of your time” she pushed on. “okay, so how do we go about it?” i asked. “it’s easy sir, I’ll drive ahead while you follow with your car” she answered. “fine, you can come to my office in thirty minutes. I will be ready by then” i accepted with a smile.

An hour later i found myself inside the senator’s plush residence. Unfortunately the old senator wasn’t at home, and so i was received by his wife who used up all the time i spent there asking about my wife, kids, plans and so on. Very weird questions i must add, however i answered her diligently and finally headed home thirty minutes later.
____
Just like on Saturday night. I had great sex with my wife as if she was heading to the moon. We rounded everything up with an early morning quickie which she called coffee. “i cooked three different pots of soup, which i evenly shared in small pots. They are all in the freezer. A pot of Stew is equally in there. Please just manage yourself for me. I will be back in no time. I’ll stay only two weeks with my mum. Promise me you will take good care of yourself” she begged with a noble heart. I held her hand and promised a hundred times over that i will be okay, but deep down i was scared of my future for no just reason. It was as if a part of me knew that the promises i was making wasn’t a strong one. But my wife believed in me. She loved me with all her heart. All she wanted was the best for me. A child to seal our marriage

MrLecturer - Episode 14
Sunday finally arrived with Nnamdi’s family coming over for lunch. My wife was overly happy and delighted with their presence while i hid my fear with a calm smile which never left my face all through that Sunday afternoon. Of course the two ladies had a lot to gossip, while Mr Nnamdi and i contributed little to their discussion. My heart was so heavy with worry and fear, freezing each moment Mrs Nnamdi opened her mouth to start a new topic. Fortunately nobody noticed my tensed up mood, nor did the woman mention anything concerning her discovery to my wife. She didn’t even tell her that she ran into me a couple of days back, and i really for very grateful for that. I seriously never knew she could be so matured as to skip such dangerous information, something i knew even men will find hard to keep from their friend. Yea supposing i was the person that ran into Mrs Nnamdi in such a compromising situation, i really would find it hard keeping it to myself. However as they got ready to leave two hours later.
Nnamdi dragged me to a quiet section of my house. The look on his face instantly grew serious as he stared at me. “my wife told me something, i found hard to believe. Is it true she saw at a restaurant having a romantic time with another woman?” he asked seriously. I swallowed hard, unable to figure out a good reply. “i understand how tough it is marrying very early in life. But that shouldn’t be the reason for you to go astray. You have a wonderful woman by your side. Her family is very rich and influential just like yours. Don’t ruin your kids future.
As a married man you now have responsibilities and commitments. Anyway the best advice is the one you can give yourself. Don’t hurt your wife” he summarized and tapped my shoulder, while i stared at him speechlessly. “my wife won’t breathe any word about it to your wife, because i told her not to. But please let her silence be worth it” he concluded seriously. “thank you bro” was all i was finally able to mutter, and it was the only word I was able to say to him for such a huge favour of stopping his wife from bringing up the topic before my wife……. I couldn’t help but imagine my wife’s reaction supposing the news got to her. Luckily it never happened and our visitors soon left carrying the heavy secret with them.

Don’t hurt your wife” he summarized and tapped my shoulder, while i stared at him speechlessly. “my wife won’t breathe any word about it to your wife, because i told her not to. But please let her silence be worth it” he concluded seriously. “thank you bro” was all i was finally able to mutter, and it was the only word I was able to say to him for such a huge favour of stopping his wife from bringing up the topic before my wife……. I couldn’t help but imagine my wife’s reaction supposing the news got to her. Luckily it never happened and our visitors soon left carrying the heavy secret with them.

Mr Lecturer - Episode 13
“my mum will also be coming over from Abuja on Sunday. She’s very concerned about my health and wants to take me along when going back on Tuesday. But i told her that i will first discuss the issue with you” she added seriously while i shrugged. “yea you can go with her. She’s your mum. Anything that will make you get me a child is acceptable” i answered with a smile, even though my mind was still on how to tackle her friend who was probably visiting on Sunday to snitch on me. “why are you talking like this?. It’s not as if i’m carelessly losing my pregnancy” i instantly heard her sob painfully, gaining my full attention with the appalling words that came out from her mouth. “my love what did i say wrongly?” i asked with concern, holding her softly. “no it doesn’t matter. Don’t mind me” she replied and quickly cleaned her wet eyes like a spoilt child.
I breathed deeply and swallowed hard. “dearest i’m so sorry, maybe you misinterpreted my words or something. I’m not blaming you for losing anything. Your mum wants the best for you so does everyone. Moreover She’s very experienced in child bearing issues and i have to agree that going with her will go a long way to help us. Fine if you want, I’ll also pack my things and go with you” i added a bit seriously. She smiled and hugged me. “i always get very emotional and upset when such topic is brought up. I’m so sorry” she apologized softly while i gently caressed her back. Of course she was very right. I couldn’t help but notice how fragile and emotional she had suddenly become. She easily read negative meaning in harmless words, which invariably had me thinking twice before making a single sentence in her presence. Seriously being married and staying married are two distance relatives… “i have to go to my room now. I can’t afford having burnt meal” i joked, kissed her forehead and headed to my room to think more on my situation with Mrs Nnamdi and Comfort.

I finally had no choice than to cancel the senator’s wedding Anniversary i was invited to, because it was holding on the same Sunday my wife’s friend was coming over with her family. Yea after much thinking, i decided not to confront the woman nor try to put any more silly ideas into her head by trying to talk to her. I easily could come up with a harmless lie if she as much as breathed her discovery to my wife. Nevertheless i knew a very nervous Sunday awaited me….
______
Saturday slowly approached without much eventful moments. We simply had a quiet day preparing for our guests ahead of Sunday, and later in the night had one of the best sex ever. We took time to devour each other as if we were having a second honeymoon. I pounded my lovely wife with all my strength, sucked her bosoms until my mouth dried up and kissed her all over like a darling queen she was. We really were aiming to score another goal that night and i really enjoyed every moment of it especially when she gave me a special treat of serving me with a reverse cowboy position. I was taken to high heavens as she rode me to hell while i grabbed her sumptuous ass and nodded like Lizard as she jumped up and down on me. “oh my love i badly need a child” she breathed.

Mr Lecturer - Episode 12
“ah Mrs Nnamdi, what a surprise, where have you been all these while?” i replied nervously, wondering what could be going through the woman’s mind as she stood before Comfort and I. “seriously i have been very busy with work my dear but i will make out time to visit you guys very soon. I know your wife must be very mad at me for staying away for so long. Anyway i have to run along. See you soon” she smiled and left the restaurant, saying no single word to comfort. I bit my lips as i watched her disappear, of course there wasn’t any doubt she was going to tell my wife about all she saw. “you know you have ruined my marriage?” i said to comfort who shrugged and shook her head. “how did i ruin your marriage?” she asked softly. I scoffed, shook my head and breathed deeply. “how come i didn’t notice Nnamdi’s wife when i walked into this place?” i reasoned fearfully. “my marriage is ruined.
How do i explain to my wife what i was doing in a restaurant with a young lady when i was supposed to be at work?” i asked myself, sweat slowly drenching my body. “what are you thinking sir?” i heard Comfort ask curiously. “stop pretending as if you don’t know what is going on with me. The woman that just left is my wife’s friend for goodness sake. Don’t you understand?” I cried angrily. “finish your meal let’s get out of this place” i said to her coldly. The fire in my eyes was enough to silence Comfort who did nothing than rush up her meal without saying another word.
______
Thirty minutes later, i found myself at home, looking very guilty and scared. My wife was at the kitchen when i got into the house. She was yet to resume her hospital work due to the little health crises she had two days ago. “my love” i breathed, drew close and kissed her neck from behind. She turned and stared at me with surprise. “hmmm i never heard you walk in?” she said with a welcoming smile. “the front door was open, so i simply walked in. Why did you leave the door open?. Did any of your friend visit?” i asked curiously. “no dear, i rushed out minutes earlier to buy fresh pepper. I forgot locking the door when i got back. I’m sorry” she apologized without knowing the real reason i asked the question. “but can you believe Mrs Nnamdi called me today?. After such a long time of avoiding us. Guess what?. She’s coming on Sunday with her husband and Kid. We are having lunch with them on Sunday” she giggled with excitement while my face fell with fear. I was so scared. I knew the silly woman was coming over to gossip with her.
She was definitely coming to share her discovery with my young innocent wife. I just was so confused as a thousand and one ideas ran into my head that very moment. A part of me wanted to confront Mrs Nnamdi and beg her not to say a word about what she saw to my wife, but doing such thing could also be an admission of guilt. Yes she had nothing strong to prove her point but i just couldn’t allow such information to get to my wife nor allow her harbour such speculation in her heart. However another part of me, urged me to cook up a good lie and present to my wife before her friend shows up on Sunday. I just didn’t know which idea to follow. “dearest, are you alright?” my wife suddenly asked with concern. “I’m alright my love” i answered, forcing out a smile to hide my feelings. But the question still remained therein. “should i talk to Mrs Nnamdi in a bid to stop her from opening up to my wife or should i find something to tell my wife concerning Comfort?” what should i do??

Mr Lecturer - Episode 11
“i’m sorry for barging into your office this early but seriously i do have a heavy load in my chest i need to offload” she said with a very light tone. I stared at her curiously, a bit eager to know what she wanted to offload. “the way you treated me the last time we met was so totally uncalled for. You slept with me, used my body to satisfy yourself and spit at me afterwards. I have been unable to sleep after that incident. I felt so insulted and hurt. I do like you for who you are but i just don’t know anymore. I now feel like an abused girl” she poured out solemnly. “you know we shouldn’t be having such discussion here at my office. I have lots of things to do” i said carefully, trying my best to act cool.
She stood up and breathed deeply. “so that’s all you are going to tell me right?” she asked with a drawn face, forcing me to look up at her with worry. “fine we can head to a quiet place far away from the school vicinity to talk about your problem. Come back to my office by 12pm” i said to her. She shrugged, forced out a smile and left. I breathed deeply and fell back on my chair. “God what do i do with this girl. How do i settle with her. Thank God she’s a final year student. In a couple of months she will be out of this school and out of my conscience for good” i reasoned.
____
12 noon came faster than i expected. Comfort showed up at my office at exactly 12:05pm. I quickly closed my office for the day and took her to a small fast food joint at the other end of the town, which was far away from the school. “seriously i really do regret and apologize the way i treated you two days ago, but you should have expected such behaviour from me. I’m a married man and you can’t understand how badly my conscience hurt after that dastardly act. I really should have helped you and your friend without asking for sexual gratification” i tried explaining to her.
“i do understand but since it has happened, you shouldn’t kill yourself over it, moreover i think i’m in Love with you. I have to tell you the true situation of my heart even though it’s very unusual for an African woman to express her feelings to a man” she poured out seriously. I instantly recoiled with shock. I couldn’t believe my ears, but as her words buried in me. I slowly smiled. “of course the easiest way for a woman to get into a man’s head is by professing her love to him. No she doesn’t love me. Perhaps she’s after my money or something else. How can she genuinely fall in love with a married man like me” i reasoned softly. “you know we shouldn’t be having this discussion. You are trying to get into my head. Hahahaha i know women” i laughed nervously.
She calmly placed her hand on mine. “yea i know what i said sounded quite silly and unrealistic. But seriously after the fun we had some days back. You left with a part of me” she murmured softly. “ah Mr Ezubuike! Long time, no see. What are you doing here?. It’s been a while you know?” I heard a familiar voice greet me from behind. I instantly looked up to see my wife’s friend smiling at us. I was shocked and speechless. I really was so engrossed in the discussion i was having with comfort that i failed to notice the woman approach. Of course only a fool won’t notice the suspicious air between Comfort and I. Comfort however quickly took her hand off me, but it made no sense at all because she did it very late….

Mr Lecturer - Episode 10
After relaxing in my office for a while, i invited the girls inside and curiously stared at them. “good morning sir” they all greeted. “yea what can i do for you?” i asked with a serious smile. “we came to introduce ourselves because we believe you don’t know us” one of them replied while i nodded in approval. “actually we are students of this great department but we graduated last year. Unfortunately the old man you just replaced failed us in his course, forcing us to spend an extra year over it” she summarized with a pleading look. “OK i now understand because your faces really look very unfamiliar” i said with a soft smile which lit up their faces. They all stared at me hopefully. “please don’t let us spend another extra year over the course. We wrote the exam and tried our best in it, but we unfortunately missed writing the text because we never got any information about it” she murmured in form of an appeal. I breathed deeply and nodded. “write down your names on a paper, I’ll see what i can do” i offered like a good man. They all breathed deeply with excitement. “thank you sir” they chorused while i smiled over the way they kept calling me sir. Of course two of the girls really looked a bit older than I.
They wrote down their names on the paper, dropped it on my table and left happily, but as i made to take a look at the paper, one of the girls showed up again. “i really forgot to invite to my parents marriage anniversary which is coming up on Sunday” she said, presenting a small invitation card to me. I collected it and read curiously. The names on the card slowly hit my face like a hot slap. “don’t tell me your father is a former senator?” i asked with disbelief. “yea i’m his last child” she replied, while a million questions hit my head. “what the hell is she doing, studying in Nigeria.
The old man i just replaced really had some balls to fail this girl. Damn” i breathed as i weighed the girl before me. “i hope you are coming?, some senior lecturers including the vice chancellor will be there. Take advantage of this invitation. You are a nice man sir” she smiled and left. My face instantly coloured with excitement. Just like every young man, I was very ambitious, but i equally realised that the more ambitious i got, the more corrupt i became. The invitation really was irresistible but somehow i was very scared over my intentions and the direction i was slowly heading. I was still battling with my mind when Comfort walked into my office with a warm smile on her face. I instantly recoiled with guilt. “what do you want?” i asked coldly. “relax sir” she replied, drew close and sat on an empty chair across my table….. The damn girl was now like a silly noisy mosquitoe i couldn’t kill..
