Chapter Twenty
20
Maraian 's Pov
I didn't go home that night I didn't want to see his face for him to lie to me right in the face again. I just wanted space, space to think and space for him to regret or reflect upon what he had been doing. It was two in the morning but I still hadn't received a call from him. It felt so sad that someone I called my one and only, reject me right after his ex arrives. I went on my knees to pray to God, I told him to help me save my marriage and let me be able to give birth some day. I sang some worship songs and fell asleep. Kwami woke me up from my sleep banging on my door that we were late. I checked my phone and it was seven thirty I rushed to the bathroom in Danielle 's house,I freshen up brush my teeth and put on some light make up since I wasn't a fan of those things.I went the her kitchen to see all my neggers.
"Good morning Mrs Wendy and my fellas" I said "good morning " they happily answered" how was your sleep dear? "fine and yours?"Great I took my seat and dug in the food,not necessarily ate disgusting"- I'm done let's go"I sat in my car and we were dancing whilst listening to a rap song my Nicki Minag and Ice spice, We reached our destination and I hasten to get out of the car, we were really late.

Today was the d day and I was so nervous, Maxwell was no where to be found.I told Mrs Wendy to give me a signal if she saw Maxwell any where. It was my turn and still couldn't find him where the heck he was, Whilst I was taking my award as Valedictorian of the year I was looking for him. I saw Mrs Wendy signalling me to calm down,but it wasn't working I'm gonna kill him.
My speech .
Hi guys. I'm Maraian Isabella Packard. I'm standing here as the Valedictorian of the year. I want to emphasise on the fact that our loved ones should encourage their wards or friends in things like this.I myself is an example of this, I'm an orphan and was been maltreated by my aunt but I didn't let that disencourage me at all. I found someone who helped me a lot in overcoming my fear of losing people, again and again and still he didn't make it. It really breaks our heart when you don't show up,loved ones And to the upcoming students, university isn't something simple, you have to learn very very hard to achieve this goal and not let the absenteeism of your loved ones discourage you to move forward.
Thank you .
I had a massive applause for that and I still didn't feel good. And after the program ended that was when I saw Maxwell." Babe I'm very sorry, I got caught up in traffic " So?" I'm sorry I missed your graduation. Can we go home and talk about this please"there is no going home"i said barely in tears
" I advise you to calm down and sort things out with your husband in private"
Mrs Wendy encouraged
Danielle punched Maxwell on the arm and left I sat in his car and Derrick drove us to the house. That same house that had memories, lots of memories " Maraian I'm sorry" Can we get inside first"I went straight to the bathroom ignoring his calls and locked the door from inside.I rinsed myself from the lather and walked out of the bathroom. I grabbed some shorts and crop top with an oversized cardigan. I went downstairs and sat on the sofa. I called Danielle and told her I was fine, we talked for quite some time until I saw Maxwell coming from the kitchen.
"I ordered some pizza not knowing what to cook for you"it's fine"
He brought the pizza and we ate in silence. I was very angry at him. "I'm very sorry that I missed something so much important in your life"he started" you really hurt me badly. Where were you?"I said" I was in a meeting at a hotel and I totally forgot"he replied "then forget about me loving you again"
"don't say that baby" Maxwell said gently I stood up to leave but he hugged me from behind and I cried bitterly. I missed you soo much, all that lonely nights were so scary without you holding me in your arms.
The way he kissed me made me forget how angry I was with him. It was so wonderful, he gently lifted me up and rubbed his big palm at my back. With out wasting time he removed my cardigan and crop top and I did the same to him and we spent the night like that having fun and forgetting our surroundings. The next time I stretched to see if Maxwell was there and yes he was.I'm right here baby, I ain't going no where.I hugged him and we made love again.
~~~~~~~\~~
After the graduation I decided to meet my friends." What is wrong with you gul. Having problems with your man" Yeah he's not been coming home and I feel disturbed"i replied " he might be busy" No Danielle he's with a woman and all I no is that her name is Nathania"wait Nathania, she's back "she said swiftly" why do you know her"Yo kwami, Do you remember Nathania, Maraian once mentioned her name here" Yeah, something about she being the jerk's ex"ohh no she's back, how did I not notice this I once had that thought but oh noi panicked
I took a taxi forgetting I had a car.I reached his company and this time I pushed Gina his secretary away I badged into the room only to find Maxwell sleeping with Nathania in his office They didn't see me until Gina shouted, Sir.He turned and I was in great shock I left not wanting to see what they were doing anymore."baby wait we are not done"Nathania said
" leave me alone you"
By the time I sat in the taxi Maxwell had already gotten down and was chasing the car. I went home and just packed my things but Maxwell had ordered the guards not to let me out. I went to one of the guest rooms and locked the door. I cried for a very long time and slept.I woke up to find the room very dark, I switched on the light and heard a banging sound.Maraian please hear me out please she seduced me first.I didn't say anything and went to wash up.I opened the door and walked past him he look stupid to me.
"don't even start with that as an excuse Maxwell It's pissing me off" Baby pls"he pleaded "How could you do that to me, I, someone who loved you cared for you, stood beside you all the time""What was it that I didn't do for you, love, what?""Please tell me so I can go on my knees and ask for your forgiveness I remember all the time I would skip class just so I would help you with work when Robert was sick"
" I'm Sorry" No I want you to hear me what hurts me the most is that you slept with you ex, it definitely means that you don't love me, you never did
and all of this was just a lie a very big one, five years of marriage and you kick it,..YOU POURED IT AWAY AND I MIGHT NEVER LOVE You THE SAME AGAIN. "pls these aren't my words I don't take credit" I left not wanting him to start with with all that shit.
