CHAPTER 34 –

He noticed I wasn’t moving. He walked back to the door, pulled me in, and closed the door behind him, I
heard the clicking sound.
“Why did you lock the door?”
“I didn’t, it’s automatic, when it’s time to go, I will tell it “Judith, open the door to the master’s bedroom,” He said and I heard the unlocking sound of the door.
That kind of gave me a short-lived relief.
“Speaking about locking doors, is there something going on in your mind?” he teased
“Nothing… Daniel can we do what I came here to do, please!” I asked feeling tensed
“Ok, only after you kiss me”
“What?”
“Nwala, give me the fulfillment of your lips against my lips just for the last time, pay me back for dumping
me”
“Daniel, I am married”
“I know and that’s why I am not asking for sex, just a kiss”
“I would still be cheating on my husband”
“Your husband won’t know”
“God will know”
“Ok, then you can leave, let God give you the child without me reversing the curse”
I burst into tears….
“Daniel… Dee, why are you doing this to me? For the sake of the love we shared, please help me reverse the
curse”
Daniel went soft too
“Babe… help me, let me have the satisfaction of having you in my embrace just this last time and I promise to move on… Nwala, I didn’t make love for 3 years of active dating. I had my fantasies about our first night
together… It was never fulfilled…” As he said those words softly and caressed my face, my heart was beginning to melt… I felt his pain, I really did.
“Just one kiss,” I said
“Yes a long satisfying one,” he said “I promise”
I thought about it and I concluded one kiss wouldn’t hurt. I was going to control myself not to get out of
hand…I nodded in the affirmative, and like a hungry starved lion, he grabbed my face and kissed me hard, he
pushed me to his bed. I tried to push him off to tell him hitting the bed was not part of the agreement, but Daniel
was heavier than he used to be, thanks to a lot of time in the gym obviously…
“Ple…” I tried to mumble into his mouth but Daniel had gone deaf. His left hand had gathered my two hands up arresting the hands.
“Oh my God!” I said
I fell… emotions got the best of me… I found myself relieving the fantasies we both had spoken about of how our first night would be. Daniel still had the
details in his head…
I forgot about God, Reuben, and every other thing that mattered at that point. I was enjoying myself deeply.
Daniel was being aggressive and at first, I was enjoying it…
We went two rounds and I was exhausted already, but he wasn’t…
“We have done two out of the styles, we have five left”
“No… I am tried…” I said
“You can’t be, every round is for each year, you have only made up for two years”
“No Daniel, I am tired…” I said forcefully pushing him off…
“Where are you going?”
“Home”
“Judith shut all doors Daniel said…
“Daniel, what are you doing?”
“You are not leaving until I have my five rounds,” he said affirmatively.
“You want me to die”
“You can’t die… I have something you can drink that will boost you”
“Daniel please I beg you… let me go”
“No…”
“Please”
“Ok, let’s make it half”
“Half of what?” I asked
“Half of 7 years of your marriage”
“Let’s go one and a half rounds more”
Looking at him, I could tell if he didn’t get his pound of flesh, he wouldn’t let go…
“Fine…” I said
I laid there like a log of wood, letting him fulfill his fantasies. Initially, I enjoyed whatever it was we did, but now it was painful, as he kept turning me and twisting me in different directions like a sex worker. At that point, I appreciated Reuben’s lovemaking… Exactly
the right words… Lovemaking, he was always gentle, constantly checking my face for my own emotions…
He knows women were slower in getting satisfied, so he would ask…
“Are we on the same pace…, should I slow down?” Reuben would say
But here was Daniel acting like a wild animal subduing his prey…
Finally, it ended… the torture ended, the revenge ended.
“Judith, open all doors,” he said
“Can you reverse the curse now?” I asked weakly
“Please shut the door after you leave my house…” He said
“Daniel… I need you to reverse the curse…
“Nwala, I need you to get out of my house, if you don’t want me releasing our sex tape to your husband and
his church”
I became speechless and I believe I stopped breathing.
How stupid of me, I had just been scammed. Also, I forgot about all the CCTVs in the house…
“Daniel please don’t do this to me” I cried…
“Nwala, you did this to me 8 to 9 years ago. Have a feel of it. You cut off my expectations, and you promised to
marry me but you failed, same game I am playing. I promised to reverse the curse, but I am failing to do so”
Daniel said, standing up. He picked up his shirt and trousers.
“I advise you to dress up, I am leaving the country in two hours, you are the business I came to conclude in Nigeria, and this house is a self-service apartment, once my time is up, the computer will erase the memory of my voice, that way I will be locked in… I
am leaving right away if you keep staying there, you will be locked in, and guess how dirty it will look for
the cleaners to open and find Pastor Mrs Nwala here…”
I literally shut down.
To be continued…
