~No second chance~
Aku was dumbfounded when she breezed into the Presidential Villa and a host of security held her back from entering the elevator.
“Get the hell out of my way. Don’t you know me anymore? I want to see Mr. President so you have no right to restrict me. I promise to sack all of you as soon as I see Mr. President! Get out of my way this minute! You bitches!”
One of the security who had been standing on her way replied, “But I am sorry ma’am. You may not see Mr. President anymore. We are carrying out his orders. We know you but with the orders of Mr. President, we don’t know you anymore. We may lose our jobs, if we flout his orders.”
She interjected radically, “What fucking orders are you talking about? Do I need to remind you am his pregnant wife? Can’t you see the baby bump? Are you that daft?”
“Apologies, ma’am, but all we know is that he has divorced you and the baby in your womb is not his.”
“You bitch!” Aku cursed and dared to slap him …
But then Mr. President and a host of orderlies marched out. “You wouldn’t try that in this villa.” His husky voice beamed and she paused her hand in the air. “Why did you let her into the reception in the first place?” he asked and threw his gaze upon his security.
Their heads were bowed. They couldn’t utter a word now yet they dared to raise their gaze to see the looks on the face of Mr. President.
“Woman.” He called, pocketed his hands as he advanced to her, “I thought everything between us ended some time ago. What are you doing in my Villa?” his voice housed no consideration at all.
“You divorced me. I never asked for a divorce. I am carrying your child, Mr. President. You can’t do this to me and this unborn child.”
“You shameless bitch,” he cursed and pulled frown across his lips.
“You think you can convince me to take responsibility of a child I know nothing about. Now you read my lips. I am not responsible for that child in your womb. I have done repeated DNA test, even after our divorce, the test result shows negative…”
Aku broke down in tears, “No! Mr. President! There must be a mistake somewhere. I have been faithful to you all this while. I never fucked around. Please consider me. I still belong to your heart. Give me a second chance to fix this…”
“Can you listen to yourself? You claim to be faithful to me but the DNA result has proven you wrong. You have been fucking around, Aku. There is no second chance for you!”
“No - ”
“Yes! Yes! Keep shut, you bitch! You want me to take responsibility of another man’s child, uh! You think I am that daft! I have told you there is no us. I loved you. I adored you. I wanted us to raise a wonderful, happy family. I gave you everything but what did I get in return, infidelity. Lies…”
“I still love you, Mr. President. I still adore you. We can reverse the divorce and have a new beginning. We can still work things out. This unborn child deserves a father.” Her hands came on her baby bump, “I can’t pinpoint the man that made me pregnant. You are the only man in my life. Your dick has been servicing my pussy. If you deny this pregnancy where do I turn to?”
“You can turn to hell Aku. You can go to abyss. I don’t bloody care. Your charms are no longer potent on me. I can’t fall for your deceitful charms anymore. Go and find the man that made you pregnant. It is over between us. I don’t want to see your bloody ugly face anywhere around this villa anymore…” He turned his gaze to his security, “Now you listen, I don’t want to ever see this ingrate anywhere around the Villa. Flout my orders and get yourselves ruined…” he started walking back into the elevator, “Good bye, cheat!” he said once he got on the elevator.
“Please Mr. President!” Aku wailed and dared to chase after him but the band of security wedged her from going further, “Please I beg of you, Mr. President. You can’t do this to me…” she wailed at the tops of her lungs, watching as Mr. President ascend the skyscraper…
Aku fell upon her knees, bowed her head and wept with her entire body trembling with disdain and disappointment…
When she returned home, got himself pulled to the end of the wine bar where she poured a flute of strong wine and got drunk for a while too long until late hour., she managed to trudge her drunken self to the phone.
“Hello Ste - ve…” she stuttered and spoke on while she staggered, “Are you there, Steve?”
“Yes, boss,” Steve replied from the other end shivering a bit as he wondered if Aku had discovered he was responsible for the pregnancy, “I am all ears, boss. You don’t sound too fine.
“Where are you, Steve?” Aku asked into the phone, and gulped the beer in the flute.
“I am in my crib, boss. Is anything the matter?” he asked, a little bit tensed.
“Can you find your ass to my house this minute?” she asked, hung up and fell on the sofa…
She was too drunk to continue the phone call. She lay on the floor and kept drinking, throwing caution to the wind over her pregnancy.
Soon a car horn hooted outside. Steve was around…
