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

At the bakery…

Rose was trying hard to resist everything Tony was telling her. It was just too much for her. After coming to her senses, she asked Tony to stop with his words. Tony complied, and just as she was about to reach into her bag, she asked him:

— Tony, how much do you need?

— I don’t know exactly how much I’m going to ask you for, but I do need money.

— Okay.

Without wasting time, Rose reached into her bag and handed Tony five ten-thousand CFA franc bills. He couldn’t believe it.

— Fifty thousand? Thank you so much, my Rose. I don’t even know how to thank you. If only I had my usual luck, you wouldn’t regret it.

— Tony, please stop calling me “my Rose.” You know very well that I’m already married to another man. So it’s not possible for you to see me naked again.

— Really? But something tells me otherwise.

— You can leave now.

— Okay, thank you so much. When will we see each other again?

— I don’t know at the moment.

Tony stood up and left the bakery, leaving Rose dumbfounded. She even wondered where she found the strength to resist Tony, because she had already pictured herself in his arms. “Tony still has a hold on me, my God, what am I going to do? I want to be satisfied, I really want my husband to make love to me like Tony used to. But he doesn’t know anything in that area. I decided to explain things to him, but he refuses to understand. What exactly am I going to do?” Rose was sitting there, still lost in her thoughts about Tony, when her phone rang. She picked it up and realized it was Charles. She simply put the phone on silent and got up to do her shopping.

At Charles’ residence…

Charles woke up and, not finding Rose in the house, started looking for her by calling her. Unfortunately, he got no response, as Rose wasn’t answering his calls. While he was in the living room trying to reach his wife, the security guard came to see him.

— Issa, what’s going on?

— Sir, one of madam’s friends came by. I told her madam had gone out, but she said she had forgotten her phone here and came to retrieve it.

— Oh really? What’s her name?

— Her name is Auntie Anita.

— But Issa, you left Anita outside and came to tell me all this as if she were a stranger in this house?

— Sir, since madam isn’t home and Anita is her friend, that’s why…

— Stop with that and tell her to come in.

— Very well, sir.

Charles was in the living room when Anita came to see him. She had actually forgotten her phone in the sofa. Upset by what Mariam had said to her, she hadn’t paid attention to it before leaving.

Anita entered the living room and, after exchanging a few words with Charles, began searching the sofa, but couldn’t find the phone. Charles decided to help her and did indeed find the phone hidden between the cushions. He handed it to her, and instead of going home, she started looking at him seductively and asked if he could escort her back.

Charles didn’t see anything wrong with that, as he was used to escorting her unless he had some commitment in his region. He told Anita he couldn’t do it because he had no plans and was waiting for his wife.

— Alright, good evening. If my friend comes back, tell her I came by to get my phone.

— Okay, I’ll let her know.

Charles was patiently waiting for Anita to leave the living room, but he had the feeling she didn’t want to go and was just looking around. Growing confused, Charles decided to ask her what was wrong.

— Anita, is something wrong, or is there anything left? he asked firmly.

— No, I was just wondering if everything was okay between you and my friend, she replied.

— Why are you asking that? Did she tell you something? asked Charles.

— Even if she did, you know very well I can’t tell you, Anita replied.

— Oh really? Well, there’s no problem, everything is fine, Charles stated.

— I can see that you’re not telling me the truth, but fine, you’re right because I have nothing to do with your relationship. However, I think it’s important that you know something for the sake of your marriage, Anita said.

— And what is that? asked Charles.

— If you don’t know how to satisfy her, your wife will cheat on you with another man who knows how to please her the way she likes, Anita revealed.

— Did she tell you that? Charles asked.

— Did I mention a name? I don’t think so, but know that if you want to be comfortable with Rose, you need to be able to satisfy her properly. Otherwise, you’ve still got a lot to learn, Anita concluded.

— Okay, thank you very much for your advice. Now, I hope you’re done? Charles replied.

— Yes, let’s say that. But don’t forget that she’s not the only woman on earth, and there are plenty of others who could accept you just the way you are, Anita added.

Charles said nothing more as Anita left him alone in the living room and exited the house. Charles couldn’t believe that his wife had already told everything to her friends. Angered by what he had just heard from Anita, he took his phone and tried to call Rose, but she didn’t answer.

He then decided to take a shower and headed to his bedroom. While he was in the shower, Rose came home. She put away what needed to be stored in the kitchen before dealing with the rest of the groceries from the store. Back in the living room, she was about to go upstairs when her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Tony. In a rush, she headed to the kitchen to take the call, not realizing that her husband was watching her from the stairs.
