For three years, I have been nothing but an adoring and faithful husband to my wife but I’m afraid she hasn’t been the same. When we met, she was the sweetest girl I had ever seen. She was a shy and soft-spoken girl who had just finished her campus education. It was rare to meet such a girl and I thought I had hit the jackpot. I went out of my way to impress her so she would be my girlfriend.
Slowly but surely, I won her over and she became my girlfriend. She would visit me regularly and spend weeks at my place. I saw a potential wife in her. She especially won me over with her cooking. As the saying goes, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. She fed me well and cooked food that I had never eaten in my life. Her coastal roots came in handy.
“Who taught you how to cook like this?” I asked teasingly.
“My mother and aunties.” She replied.
“Have you ever thought of opening a restaurant?”
I wanted the whole world to experience her delicious food and I knew she had the skills to run a successful business. She may have been sweet and soft-spoken but she was a great salesperson.
Since she was thinking of quitting her current job, it was the perfect opportunity to start the business. With my support and encouragement, she quit her job to start the business.
The following day after quitting her job, she came over to my house with a bag full of groceries ready to start cooking.
“We can try it out with your office.” She suggested.
I had no idea that she was planning to start selling food at my office but I supported her, nonetheless. I didn’t doubt her capabilities either.
“They will love it. I always talk about your food.” I said.
Sure enough, her food was a hit. She continued to supply food to my office and other offices within the area for a whole year without fail.
***********************************************
We had been dating for two years at that point and I wanted to propose to her. However, rumours had started swirling about Joy’s faithfulness. Several men in the office had claimed that they had taken her out on a date. I didn’t pay much attention to them since I knew her and it was so unlike her character. Additionally, I was determined to make her my wife and was blinded by love.
In December, I took her to a luxurious hotel in Diani where I proposed to her. She agreed to be my wife but I could sense hesitation. To ensure that she didn’t run off, I suggested that we should visit her family since we were in her home county.
“That’s okay.” She said but she wasn’t as enthusiastic as I hoped.
We went to visit her parents and I was surprised to find out that she hadn’t even told them that she was dating me for two years. It was the first time that they were hearing about me. Despite helping her start her business and asking her to be my wife, she didn’t think that she should let her mother know about me.
As the love-struck man that I was, I swallowed that bitter pill In fact, I didn’t bring it up with her since the day really well and her mother liked me. That’s all that mattered.
We got married a few months after the proposal in an intimate but beautiful ceremony. My wife had asked for a small wedding since she wasn’t a fan of big crowds. That meant that I had to leave out a lot of my friends and relatives which caused an issue between us. Many of them didn’t even know that I was married until they saw my wedding pictures on social media.
Settling into marriage life was a bit of a challenge. Joy was obsessed with her business and I wanted to start building a family right away.
“I need to establish the business and hire someone first.” She said.
I gave her some time and she seemed like she was making progress. She even hired a few employees including a guy to help her with deliveries. She also moved the business from our apartment to a commercial space around the neighbourhood.
I never met her new employees but I trusted her judgment.
“The driver is a friend of mine from college.” She explained.
She seemed excited about the growth of her business which made me happy. For a moment, I stepped back and let her do her thing.
************************************************
“Hey gorgeous, slept well?” A deep manly voice said which startled my wife.
She hung up the phone and then called back a few minutes later sounding very different from before. Her voice was high-pitched as if she was feigning excitement.
“Hi, babe.” She answered.
“Where are you?”
“I told you I attended a business workshop.”
“Who was talking to you?”
“Oh, he wasn’t talking to me. I’m having breakfast with other attendees. I’ll be back tonight.” She answered and then hang up.
It had been a few months since she moved her business and hired new employees. We hardly had time for each other and she spent most of the day at her business. Since she didn’t do the deliveries herself anymore, I didn’t see her during the day.
However, my colleagues started spreading rumours about my wife again. This time, they claimed that she was sleeping with her employee, the delivery guy.
I knew that they were jealous about my marriage because I not only married a beautiful, soft-spoken woman but also they weren’t invited to the wedding. Though I felt bad that I had to leave out many of my friends, I’m happy that I did if they could spread rumours about my wife.
When the phone call ended, I could hear my workmates whispering and chuckling as they looked at me.
“What are you laughing at?” I asked, trying to control my anger.
“Nothing. How is your wife?”
“She’s fine,” I answered even though I knew they weren’t asking about her well-being.
That day, her delivery guy didn’t show up to do the deliveries. Instead, another guy came by. This began to raise my suspicion.
*******************************
My wife came home from her trip as a completely different person. I didn’t know what went on but she had changed drastically. The sweet girl I met and fell in love with was gone. She was moody and rude. Anything I said seemed to irritate her and she didn’t want to be intimate with me anymore.
Since we had a significant age difference, it was hard to reason with her. She was quite mature for her age but at times, she could be a little hard-headed. Nonetheless, I loved her unconditionally and put up with her tantrums.
However, things got to a boiling point after a few months and her attitude was testing my patience and my marriage. I still stayed with my wife hoping that it was just a phase but I had to find out why she suddenly changed after that trip.
“Just divorce her. There is more fish in the sea.” One of my workmates advised me.
They were waiting eagerly to hear that my marriage had fallen apart but for two years, I proved them wrong. Yes, our marriage wasn’t perfect but that was the reality of love. I simply refused to give up on my wife.
Even though I trusted her, the rumours were beginning to get to me and her odd behaviour only fueled the fire. I had to get to the bottom of things and put the rumours to rest.
I had interacted with the delivery guy on multiple occasions when he delivered food in the office and I didn’t see how my wife could even hire the guy, let alone sleep with him. So, I brushed and decided to focus on the initial rumours that she was sleeping with one of my workmates.
The guy was my manager which made it difficult to confront him but after some preparation, I was ready to find out the truth.
He used to treat me to lunch regularly since I was one of the best employees and we became somehow close. During one of our lunches, I dropped the bomb.
“I’ve heard the rumour that you’re sleeping with my wife.”
It took him by surprise because it had been over a year since the rumour started going around. He must have thought that I forgot about it.
“What? Where did that come from?” He asked.
“Are you?”
“Of course not.” He replied then took a bite of his food. “I asked her out several times and she turned me down. Your wife is very loyal to you. I mean, she turned me down even though I’m richer and more handsome than you.” He finished with a joke which broke the tension.
“I know but I’ve been hearing rumours ever since I got married. It’s starting to get to me.”
“Don’t listen to these guys. They just wish that they had what you have. In fact, I would advise you to give her a baby as soon as possible.”
After that lunch, I was more at ease. If my wife could turn down a successful man like my boss, I didn’t see how she could cheat on me with anyone else.
******************************************************
I decided to surprise her with flowers and a romantic dinner since we hadn’t gone out in a while. It was also a way to apologize to her and show her that I appreciated her. The night went well. In fact, it went so well that we ended up spending the night in a hotel room to rekindle our romance. It was the first time that we had been intimate since she came back from her trip.
For the following, we were intimate on a regular basis. Sometimes, multiple times a day.
“Are you trying to give me a baby?” She asked jokingly.
“What if I am?”
“That’s fine with me.”
“By the way, what happened to the delivery guy? I haven’t seen him at the office in over a month.”
She was quiet and seemed offended by the question.
“He quit.” She answered.
“I didn’t mean to offend you.”
“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
I was now very sure that I had nothing to worry about. My boss had assured me that nothing happened between him and my wife and that the driver was out of her life. I could now breathe easy knowing that my marriage was safe.
*****************************************************
My wife found out that she was pregnant and my dream of having a family was becoming a reality. However, the happy moment was short-lived after someone sent me a text warning that the pregnancy was not mine.
I tried to call the number but no one responded. Doubt started creeping in again but I convinced myself that it was my jealous workmates who were trying to mess with me.
One day at work, my wife’s former employee showed up and made his way to my desk.
“That baby is not yours!” He yelled.
He was visibly intoxicated and sweating profusely from climbing up 10 flights of stairs. The commotion alerted my workmates who turned to look at me. Some came nearer to hear what was going on. However, my boss intervened and pulled both me and the driver out of the office.
“Deal with your issues outside the workplace.” He told me and then went back in.
“Joy is lying to you. She found out she was pregnant two months ago and it’s my baby. She swore that she hadn’t been intimate with you for months.” He explained more calmly.
“I have dealt with a lot of issues in my marriage but I will not stand here and listen to you lie about my wife’s pregnancy.”
“If you think I’m lying then let’s go and confront her. She’s at the restaurant. Let’s go.”
I agreed to go with him since his claims were too serious to ignore. As soon as my wife saw the driver and I walk in, she ran to the storage room and locked herself in.
“Come out and tell your husband the truth.”
After a brief back and forth, she came out with a look of embarrassment.
“Tell me everything and if you lie to me I’ll give you one hot slap.” I threatened her. She had never seen this side of me so she cooperated.
“I have been sleeping with him.” She admitted.
“And the baby?”
“It’s his.”
I almost lost my balance but supported myself with the wall. It took a minute to process what I had heard. My wife was cheating on me and had a baby with another man. My workmates were actually telling me the truth.
She begged me not to divorce her and that we could raise the child together and have others. Blinded by love, I agreed to stay with her despite knowing that the baby wasn’t mine and that my wife had been unfaithful to me for so long. I also couldn’t bear the shame of my colleagues being right about my marriage. I had praised Joy too much and it would be devastating if they found out I was wrong all along.
The driver asked me to pay him for his silence and I sent him half a million shillings.
Ever since that incident, we have lived happily and peacefully together. I raised the baby like my own and after two years, Joy got pregnant again with my son. Our family couldn’t be happier. Though we made mistakes in the past, I think I made the right choice in staying with my wife.
