Episode 2.

"So this is what you've been doing in church! As if
the adultery isn't enough you brought it to my
house!" He walked into his room smiling
mischievously to himself.
Angela knew he's apt to do things without thinking
twice she she begged the pastor to leave but he
refused, insisting on talking some sense into John's
head.
John rushed out of the room holding a cutlass and he
gave the pastor a hot chase. The pastor ran for his
dear life, wishing he had listened to Angela the first
time. John chased for a few seconds before coming
back to the house. He met Angela kneeling down and
in tears.
"Please, if i have sinned let me know so i can make
atonement, why are you treating me like this?" She
said amidst tears.
John proceeded to put the cutlass aside and continue
with his wicked plans. He stared hard at his wife, no,
his ex-wife, because as far as he's concerned, the
marriage was over a month after their wedding. He
walked close to her picked her up and gave her this
reassuring look that all is well.
"Stop crying love, I'm sorry for my past"
Angela was shocked! She knew someone or
something is lying. Could it be her mind or John? Or
maybe it was her ears. As the question runs through
her mind, she found herself following John to their
bedroom.
"John" she called softly but there was no answer as
John was drunk in his own thoughts and was
unaware his wife was calling out to him. He took her
into the bedroom.

Mr Samuel was down casted by the time he got home
yet like former times, it was well hidden under that
ever smiling face. He even joked with his gatekeeper
and the house cook before retiring to the small bar
inside the living room. He collected a glass and went
to the fridge to get cold water instead. As he gulped
the glass of water he tried his best not to smile but
he couldn't. The only reason he hasn't disowned the
boy is because he made a promise to his mother
before she died. He recalled the unfortunate
incident……..

On That fateful day, Mrs Samuel was returning from
the shopping she went for her one and only son when
she had an accident. Prior to that day, Samuel had
complained of her over pampering the boy citing that
the boy would end up being spoilt. She died at the
hospital where she was rushed to. Her car was
brushed by a raging tanker whose brakes stopped
working thereby killing the 5 people including the
driver and his assistant.
_________________________________________________________
4pm, same day……
Angela decided to go home against pleas from her
father in-law to at least spend the night. Earlier on,
Mr Samuel had called his son to give him a verbal
discipline but none of his calls were returned. With
Angela insisting on going home, he had no option
than to drive her home himself.
When they got there, John was at home, getting
drunk. He showed no sign of remorse or joy or any
kind of feeling. He just felt indifferent.
Mr Samuel called Angela aside and whispered into
her ears "you can see he's drunk. Its unsafe to stay
here, please let's go home. Tomorrow you can come
back"
She had no choice than to agree. Once drunk, John
becomes a tiger, tearing, biting and kicking.
Previously, on one such occasion, he had almost
drowned her in the bath tub had he not slipped
thereby giving her a chance to run away. Today could
be worse, considering what happened yesterday.
John needed peace. Peace, peace, peace, is all i need.
Is that too much to ask? He asked himself. He has
been drinking since dawn thinking his wife is gone
for good only to see her reappear with his dad. He
wanted the man dead but he wasn't sure of his will.
So far the man has made him live on a monthly pay,
that's why he is yet to buy a new car.
He has to act fast. He slept on the sofa.
Later that night………
Angela was sitting on the sofa in the biggest parlor
reading one of the numerous magazines packed in a
section of the Mr Samuel's abode. She was wearing a
gown which she had bought on her way home. Her
father in law is the best anyone could wish for and
she feels lucky to have him. 9pm and he's already
sleeping, too disciplined she thought to herself. She
suddenly felt the need to use the toilet. She got up
and walked to the room designated to her. Its not her
first time using this room but somehow it seemed
new. She felt she wasn't alone. She looked around
yet saw no one but she could still feel eyes on her.
She walked into the toilet. She sat raised her gown
and sat on the water closet. She urinated, got up,
washed her hand and was about leaving when she
heard water flowing in the bathroom which was just
next door.
"Hello" she said as she tiptoed towards it "dad is that
you?"
She opened the bathroom door and saw the shower
slightly on. She made a move to switch it off but
something else caught her attention. The tissue is
slightly displaced from where she kept it before she
went for dinner. Someone came here! She switched
off the shower, place the tissue paper in it's rightful
place, and shut the bathroom door. Then she walked
back to the sitting room.
Mr Samuel sat on the couch in his master bedroom.
He tried to read his bible but the words had become
too complicated for him to comprehend. He dropped
it, rapped a quick prayer and retired to his bed. Still
he couldn't find the need to sleep. He rolled from side
to side continuously for about an hour before he
managed to sleep only to jerk back up. Apparently he
had had a bad dream and he instantly knew that
something is not right. He got put, wore his flip-flops
and wanted to go to the sitting room but he
restrained himself. He got back on his bed, and slept
off, still carrying that worried look that had been
absent from his face for a long time.
John got up, picked up his car keys and got out of the
house. He want explanations and he must get it.
Why wouldn't Dad leave me alone? It's my life for
crying out loud! The old fool doesn't seem to get it,
his life is in My hands. A call and he's gone, just a
call. With so many thoughts running in his head and
still drunk, John set off for his dad's place. Only if he
knew what awaits him………

Watch Out For The Next Episode.
