“It’s your husband and his secretary again, come now “. The voice said aloud and hangs up. Her eyes went white like a shark ready to attack. She stood up furiously, and swiftly got to a white and mighty 4 wheel automobile and headed for his husbands work. She wondered who , owns this number , the number has always call her often times to report her husband but she usually turn deaf hear. The voice never sounded like a girl nor a guys, it stravvels in between.

Leaving him all alone at home. “Babe , I would be late , because I would be going to Rosemary place then we would go to the market together”. She said as her soft hands is all over his cheeks. “Okay babe , but pls be fast “. He said as he managed to let out the smile. Her husband saw her off to the gate, as their Neighbors waved them. She  entered a mini bike and they  zoomed off, the bike sounded like a chainsaw rather than a motorcycle. Shortly , she realized she wasn’t with her phone and quickly boarded another bike home. On getting home, she saw saw nobody outside, it was strange , she just left house at about 20 minutes and it’s very silent, then she rushed in, The hoofers was deafening.
