Contract husband

” I’m glad you came ma’am…. I see you’ve met my husband already..”

” Oh yes ma’am…. He is a wonderful man indeed.” Binta replied warmly.

” Yes he is…. I want you to meet my friends too…. This is Ashley…. And this is Judith.” Omar said.

Binta grew stiff the moment she sighted Judith.

Judith saw Binta and widened her eyes in surprise, her expression grew cold instantly.

” Do you two know each other?” Omar asked in curiosity.

” Yes ma’am…. We’ve actually met before.” Binta replied feigning a smile.

” really!!…. It’s a small world.” Omar commented.

Judith shrugged and shifted uneasily.

” Can I have a word with you bee?” she said and pulled Omar along with her till they got to a large corridor.

” What is it Judy?”

” Why is she here?” Judith asked almost immediately.

” Who?…. Do you mean Mrs Binta?”

” Yes…. Why did you invite Emeka’s wife to your birthday?”

Omar popped her eyes in surprise.

” Emeka’s wife!!…. I didn’t know she was Emeka’s wife!!… Wow!”

” She is Emeka’s wife Omar…. Infact!!…. How did you two cross paths?” Judith questioned Omar.

” We met on a business platform….. wait a minute!!…. You mean you knew Emeka’s wife all along?” Omar asked Judith.

She shrugged indifferently.

” We met once when she came to my house and warned me to stay away from her husband.” Judith replied.

” See…. I’m not comfortable with that witch in this house…. You need to send her away!!”

Omar sighed.

” I can’t send her away Judith…. She’s Ife’s guest…. You just have to manage through with her being around.” Omar said and patted her on the back.

Judith murmured some more before they returned back to the living room where the guests were.

A soft music played in the background and the party kick started. They all danced to the music and merried, until Ife presented her with a gift that made everyone marvel. It was a Venza latest model.

” Wow!!…. This is lit!!” Ashley whispered to Judith as they watched Omar kissed Ife tenderly and profess her love to him.

” Yes it is…. uhm but I’m afraid Omar is becoming too attached to this man…. I wonder if she even took our advise at all.” Judith expressed her concern.

” You are right Judy….. I hope Omar doesn’t get her heart broken by this man…. I mean, it’s going to be disastrous judging from similar cases we witnessed at the agency.” Ashley replied in agreement.

” That’s it…. But Omar wouldn’t just listen…. This men are like Hawks…. As soon as their done with their prey…. They leave them off the hook ruthlessly….. I hope she doesn’t come to me crying like a baby, because I wouldn’t listen to her at all. ” Judith said in a hushed voice, wrinkling her nose.

” Yes…. But Judith…. Don’t you think this man might also be in love with her…. Although this happens in rare cases, but we cannot rule out the possibility that it can happen.” Ashley replied in whispers as she focused her gaze on Omar and Ife.

Omar and Ife were locked in an embrace, when Zoey arrived with Stanley.

” Hey Sister….. so sorry I’m late…. The meeting lasted more than I expected.” She whispered an apology, with Stanley standing a few feet away from her.

Ashley and Judith saw Stanley and gasped.

” Stanley what are you doing here?” Ashley voiced in surprise.

” It’s ok sis…. I invited him.

” Hi Judy… how are you doing?” Zoey greeted.

” Hey Zoey…. I am good thanks.” Judith said with a smile and sighed. She turned to Stanley.

” You know this is Omar’s birthday party and it won’t look good if she sees you here.” She told Stanley.

Stanley mused.

” Omar’s birthday!!…. Oh that makes it great!!” He said immediately and walked up to Omar.

” Hi Omar dear…. Happy birthday to you dear….. in love, joy and happiness!!….. You look beautiful as always…. Just the way I like it.” He said wearing a broad smile.

Omar rolled her eyes in astonishment and gave him the ‘ what are you doing here?’ look.

Ife studied Omar’s gaze and noticed her discomfort.

” Are you alright dear?” he asked.

” Yes I am….. uhm meet Stanley, an ex client of mine.” She said hurriedly.

” It’s nice seeing you Stanley.” Ife said wearing a straight faced expression with his hands tucked in his pockets.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

” The pleasure is all mine.” Stanley replied with a smirk, stretching his hand for an handshake which Ife didn’t reciprocate.

Ashley dragged Zoey forward hurriedly.

” Omar… I need you to meet my younger sister Zoey…. She’s a qualified psychologist who is now fully based in Nigeria.” Ashley said cheerfully.

Omar quickly stretched her hands to Zoey but Zoey’s attention had drifted to an intense gaze at Ife.

” Ife!!” Zoey exclaimed.

Ife froze as if he had seen a ghost, transfixing his gaze on Zoey.

Ashley and Judith exchanged a puzzled look.

” Zoey!!…. Wow!! Zoey…. It’s quite an age!” It was Jade who spoke.

” Jade!!” Zoey exclaimed with her mouth agape.
