OBSESSED WITH MY EX-BOYFRIEND (THE SHADOWS OF INFIDELITY)

Charles sat up fully and sat on the bed next to Rose without saying a word. He had lost all desire after hearing his wife’s words. Rose also sat up and looked at Charles with a dark expression. These two lovers, who thought they had found a solution to their problem, seemed to have been mistaken. Charles wanted to get up to grab his shorts, but Rose didn’t allow him to. Driven by anger, she began to speak to her husband in an accusatory tone.

— “Charles, you want to get dressed without making love to me? Is it just because of my request that you want to leave? Are you serious? Do you really think that all men do what you refuse to do for your wife? Or do you think that the women who hang around you outside are more respectable than me, your own wife?” asked Rose.

— “Rose, I never said such things and I’ve never thought of being with another woman since we got married. So I don’t know how I could compare your hygiene to that of other women. You are my wife and I know very well that you are clean, but that doesn’t mean I must necessarily do such a thing to satisfy you. Rose, I can’t do that, and if that’s what I have to do to please you, then it’s really troubling, my princess.”

— “Really troubling, you say? Is that how you love me?”

— “You know very well that I love you with all my heart and that you are the only woman I have, the only one with whom I see my life in color, the only one who gives meaning to my life. You know very well that what you’re asking me is not a sign of love. Otherwise, if that’s what should prove I love you, where is the one who showed you that or made you discover it? Know that I don’t want to offend you, but the good Lord who created us gave a role to every part of our body, and it’s written nowhere that the mouth we use to eat, talk, or pray is made to suck a man’s genitals or lick a woman’s. My father never did such a thing to my mother, and my mother neither. So it won’t be me who starts. I will never do that, Rose.”

— “Really, are you serious?”

— “Of course I’m serious. I even wonder what’s wrong with you. I give you all the love you need, you lack absolutely nothing. I don’t even consider hurting you. So you wouldn’t have bad ideas about me, I gave you a position in my company, all because of your jealousy. But despite all that, you’re ready to ruin everything because of these things you people have copied from the Whites. Know that not everyone indulges in everything, and not everyone engages in those practices that are dragging the world, especially Africa, into a curse. I am not impotent, I know that very well, and you know it too. I’ll do my best to satisfy you, and that’s not enough for you. But I will never lick you, and I will also never ask you to give me a blowjob. The male sex is made for the female sex, and vice versa, that’s all.”

— “We’ll see about that in this house.”

After those words, Rose got up, and after grabbing the wrapper to cover her body, she entered the shower. Charles was overwhelmed by the situation; he no longer understood anything at all. He got dressed and went downstairs to get something to eat in the kitchen.

At Daniel’s residence…

Here is the English translation of your latest excerpt, without modifying anything:

Daniel and his wife kissed, and slowly, Daniel began to slip his hand into Phanie’s panties. She stopped him, saying, “Baby, please don’t start again.” Daniel stopped and looked at Phanie with a strange expression.

— “What am I not supposed to start again?” he asked.

— “You know very well what I’m talking about. We made love all night and even this morning. But now we’re just kissing, and you already want to caress me again. You know that’s my weakness. I’m tired, and I don’t want you to reduce me to a sex machine. I’m starting to wonder if you didn’t already do something at work.”

— “What kind of story is this? Or do you not know who you’re talking to—your husband?”

— “So what if you’re my husband? Anyway, I don’t want to argue over this. So please rest; I still have work waiting for me.”

Phanie got up and was about to leave when Daniel spoke:

— “You just refused to satisfy me now, huh? Do you realize the state of my manhood? So you really want to do this to me?”

— “My dear, it’s all in the mind, so you can very well control yourself. What’s wrong with your penis that it’s always erect?”

— “Well, I’m not going to waste another second in this room. Since you can’t satisfy me, I’ll go find satisfaction elsewhere.”

— “Please protect yourself before doing what you intend to do. Otherwise, you’ll have serious problems when something happens to me, and I’ll have to call your family to inform them. I don’t want to be held responsible later.”

Without adding another word, Phanie left the room, leaving Daniel behind.

— “That woman has some nerve, huh.”

A few hours later…

Rose had spent hours thinking, and since she needed to do some shopping and errands for the house, she decided to take the opportunity to meet Tony. She picked up her phone and made a call. After exchanging a few words with Tony, they finally arranged to meet at the supermarket.

Charles was in the living room, asleep, when Rose left without saying a word to him.

At Anita’s residence…

Anita had finished telling everything to Yasmine, and the latter began to speak to her.

— “Anita, do you know that Mariam is right? You know very well that Rose is no longer the girl you used to spend time with. She’s already married, and you shouldn’t encourage those ideas she has or those desires haunting her. Friends help each other—they don’t do the opposite.”

— “Really? I knew you’d say that too. Am I the one who doesn’t have a husband, maybe? We’ll see. I don’t know what Rose has that I don’t.”

— “Hmm! Don’t tell me you’re jealous of your best friend, huh?”

Without answering Yasmine’s question, Anita got up and went into their bedroom.

At the supermarket…

Tony was already at the supermarket, waiting for Rose…
