. The Letter That Shattered My Marriage

The Letter That Shattered My Marriage


When my husband ran off with my colleague in the office to another city they think that life would be fair to them but guess what? They got what they truly deserve, truth be told, I married my husband but I never knew that he was a gold digger, meanwhile I thought I've found love After school i got an amazing job opportunity to work in an oil company in the city, I was earning a living, good money so I asked Raymond to join me, Raymond was my boyfriend then , he agreed to join me, because he was looking for jobs and I was helping him to get started. 

Luckily for him, he got a job at one advertising agency, the pay wasn’t that good, but I told him to manage it for now, instead of just waiting and wasting time for another job, if he gets another job, he can quit that one. 
He agreed, that was how we moved until he asked me to marry him, I accepted his proposal. 

One day one of my colleagues, by name Amanda invited us to her birthday party, I was happy to be attending her birthday party, because I know the party would be gallant, and lit. Amanda sure knows how to throw a show , a party, she doesn’t play with her parties, for three years I have worked with her, I have been to four of her parties and it was the bomb! “Let’s go there Amanda”! I told her that I am not going to miss the party. 

So party day I went to Amanda’s party with my husband, the party was lit as usual, I had a great time, I had. At the party I introduced my husband to Amanda, and both shook hands. The only thing I noticed was how my husband was looking at Amanda, his attention was much, he couldn’t even hide it, but I just overlooked it. 

After the party we got home , I slept off immediately because I was very tired and i had enough to drink, the next day as I was cooking our Sunday meal, lunch, my husband started asking me about Amanda, I knew nothing much about her, the only thing I knew was that Amanda came from a very wealthy background, she is the only daughter of her parents, and they adore her. Her father gave her a very massive landed property plots of land for her birthday as a gift. She loves farming and she wants to be a farmer one day. 

My husband was so curious to know things about Amanda, so I asked him why he was interested? He said nothing, that he was so curious to know how the girl got money to lavish on that kind of party.
 
 
 
Well I said there is money and they are well connected according to what i heard oo. 

Few months later, I became pregnant but I noticed that my husband doesn’t come home on time as usual, so I asked him what’s keeping him longer, he would give excuses of work, he even started traveling more often especially over the weekend, saying he needs to work in another city, but something was off to me. 

So one day in his normal travels routine, he told me that he would be gone for three days for an official duty and would be back soon.. I said ok. On the second day of his trip, my phone rang , and I picked up the phone, the person asked after my husband, i told him that he was not around, he said that he is his boss in the office that he has been trying to get him on phone but his lines were switched off, that he needs him to start coming to work now, that there’s an emergency work waiting that needs to be sorted out immediately. 

I told him that my husband was already at work for a 3 days travel trip, the man said how? That he was at work yesterday, he never sent him anywhere, that he even got my number from one of his colleagues, to see if he can reach him through me. I said he’s not here.

After that call , I can’t believe what I heard, I tried my husband’s phone number, it wasn’t going through, as well… so I continued my work. I didn’t know what to think again, after his three days, he came back home on a Sunday evening. I welcomed him. 

During Dinner I told him that his boss called  me, he stopped eating, he asked for what reasons, I told him, he kept quiet, I asked him where he’s been leaving me in my condition to go to, he said work, that he is working. We argue about it that day, he went to bed without talking to me, for three days my husband didn’t speak to me he was doing as he pleased. I left him. 

So one day, he left his phone in the living room , and I decided to go through his phone call records, I noticed a particular number he normally calls, he didn’t even saved the number, but that number was consistent on his caller records, i checked on his text messages, there were no texts from the same number, I checked on wasap, no wasp messages too. 

In fact since we got married , we don’t lock our phones, we don’t hide anything from each other, but that consistent number? I became worried about that number, I had to dial the number on my phone to see if anything  would happen, I said to myself, let me try… my luck, as I dialed the number, lo and behold! It was Amanda’s phone number, what is Amanda’s phone number doing in my husband’s phone? I don’t want to ask my husband, but I must find things by myself. 

I kept everything to my self… so one day my husband told me again that he would be going to work and would return the next day? I said ok? So I thought to myself, why not follow Amanda to her house after work and see if you would find out something? Because I don’t even know her house, I know her previous house, but I heard she moved to another house. 
So I told my regular Uber driver to come and pick me up that day that we have some errands to run, l had left my car at the office car park, i also told him to be there before my closing time that I would pay, what so ever amount that he would charge me that day. Money  is not my problem.

After work my Uber driver came on time, I hopped in and told him to follow my instructions and directions, when Amanda drove out of the office premises, i told my Uber driver to follow her… he followed her till we got to her house, she drove inside, but I told the driver to wait a bit, let’s see if anything else would happen, we drove pass the house to see if my husband would appear, or see his car or anything else, but nothing was seen, i told the driver to take me back to the office, but something happened, as we were trying to get back to my office, my husband’s car just passed us, he stopped in front of Amanda’s gate , Amanda came outside and they zoomed off, I told the driver to follow them, he did, and they walked into a restaurant together, I was mad, I felt like jumping down from the car and create a scbut I held myself, it doesn’t worth it, all I needed was to take care of myself and my unborn baby. 

I told the Uber driver to take me to my office quickly, but he said he was taking me home, that he would not allow me to go home driving in that state. I agreed with him. The next day, I ene, went and picked my car from the office. 

On Sunday afternoon my husband came home, I smiled and ask him how his trip went, he said good. I didn’t asked him anything, I was waiting for the right time to ask him, but something happened which made me not to ask him again, two months before I put to bed. 

Amanda was transferred to another City to start working in Lagos, I was very excited I thought that i would have my husband back. Now that Amanda has been transferred because I noticed that he was always at home like his usual way, how we used to live before.


I never knew that my husband was planning the shock of my life. So after I gave birth to my first baby, it was a beautiful baby girl, we celebrated her… so one morning while I woke up, I saw a written note by lamp stand.. the letter was written by my husband. 

In that letter, he wrote: 

My dear wife, it’s with deep sadness that I am writing this letter to you, i have no intention of hurting you, you are a wonderful person, but I wanted more, but with you i can’t achieve what i want to achieve, so I have to make a move. 

Don’t bother to look for me, please because i would be fine, please take care of our daughter. I left the car because you brought it with your money please find it in your heart to forgive me. And thank you for everything. 

I cried, I cried, tears, I called my friend, my family they consoled me, will this pain go away? I found my feet easily after that incident, I don’t know how it happened… but God is good. 

After five months, l learned that my husband had married Amanda in a private ceremony in Lagos. A colleague told me this, I never cared… because I have moved on 

Until ….  something happened , the news was flying around that Amanda had an accident, while they were coming back from a club, and the accident affected her spinal cord, my ex husband suffered little injuries according to them, but she would never walk again in her life, at the time of the accident, she was also pregnant, but suffered severe loss of the baby, which she might not have the chance of being a mother again, but she will be in a wheelchair for life, they had taken her to so many different places, money spent, yet she can’t walk , 
according to the story, it was there that my ex husband learned that Amanda’s parents were not even rich, they are regular people, it was her uncle, her father’s relation that was rich, and all the lavish lifestyle, parties were sponsored by her sugar daddies, even the plots of land, that she claimed was givenher ber br father on her birthday was fake, audio gift, wow i didn’t even know all of this , it was the gist I heard in the office. 

I even heard that she was sourcing for funds from the office, the office had helped her pay some of her bills, but traveling to India, you take care of yourself.  to She was broke, as her treatments was very expensive. I did eyes right. 

After all the stories flying, one day, I received a call from the receptionist that I have a visitor, as I went down stairs to see the visitor it was my husband, he said he wants to see our daughter. 

I told her, that our daughter was dead, he could not believe it , he cried and left the office, i told him so, because I don’t want him to start hanging around me, looking for an excuse to see me, my daughter is very much alive, precious to me, she doesn’t deserve that kind of father, and I will protect her from this man with everything I have.
