Seducing My Heartless Husband

Looking at her daughter’s expecting face, Martina’s mom continued.

” So when his parents came to threaten me for the second time, I had already made up my mind so I agreed. I knew that whatever decision I was making was unjust to him but I could never put the life of my child at risk. His parents then arranged a man and took pictures of me and him being intimate, ofcourse they were still human enough to not make me actually sleep with him. With the pictures as evidence, they demanded that I disappear from the city and if possible from the country. They had made it crystal clear that the moment they got caught of my presence in that city, that will be the end of my life. I used the little money I had and moved out of that city but did not leave the country. I did not have enough to escape to another country nor could I go empty handed and pregnant at top of that to another country. I rented a small house and started job hunting and finally I got a job as a Nanny to a single mother. I worked for her until I was due then resigned almost a week to my due date. By that time I had already known that I had twins and not a single child.” She paused yet again to take a sip of her water. The whole narration was taking a toll on her and one could see that she was tired and emotionally disturbed but Martina knew if she didn’t hear the whole story now, maybe her mother will never open up.

Choosing to be selfish, Martina beckoned her mother to continue.

” As I sat in my small room with the little money I had saved up, many options came across my mind. I even thought of giving the two of you for adoption but my Love for my unborn children couldn’t let me make that decision.

I knew and was certain that there’s no way I could support the two of you. Deep down I knew that my love only cannot feed, clothe and educate you two so I did the only thing I thought could save me at that time.

Your father’s wife knew about me ofcourse because before she married your father, he came clean. She had investigated about me and even came to meet me. That time I wasn’t heavily pregnant but one could see the baby bump. She had apologized to me and said that it wasn’t her intention to separate the two of us and that though she was forced into the marriage after she was left no chance to object, she had come to love your father. I could see it in her eyes. i accepted her apology since it wasn’t her fault, I did not blame her. Even if she wasn’t there, your father’s parents would have never agreed to our marriage. She had Left behind her number saying that if I ever needed her help I should call her. She was helpful to me financially during that time because bearing twins was very demanding. I had to undergo regular check ups and take supplements which were very costly .”

” I called her that day when I went to labour. She didn’t take time to arrive and send me to the hospital. She stayed with me until I gave birth to my two daughters. I could see the twinkle in her eyes when she held both of you. At that time, she had already known that conceiving was close to impossible and had started getting differential treatment from her in-laws. Your father said it was no big deal if they didn’t have children and that he would never pressurize her. It was at that moment I decided to give away one of my daughters. Although it seemed I was giving her my daughter, I had in mind the wellbeing of my daughter. She would be raised by her father though unknowingly and will not lack anything in life. I decided to be selfish just for my children. I kept you with me as a source of my will and strength to continue. After we were discharged, she helped us rent a bigger house and helped us settle down before going back to her city with your sister. I knew that her in-laws will definitely investigate where the child came from and that would risk us getting exposed. By then I had saved quite alot to enable me to move out of the country so I burnt the house down and made it seem like an accident and that the two of us died in that fire then fled away. I had in mind starting a new chapter of life with my daughter free from any danger so that’s how we ended up here.” Martina’s Mom finished the story.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

To Martina the truth was more cruel than she had imagined. She had thought that her mother was abandoned by their irresponsible father after he snatched away one of the children from her and that’s why her mother moved here to heal her wounds. Who would have thought her grandparents were this cruel even to their own son.

To them their family reputation was bigger than the love of their son. They would rather use dubious means to separate their son from the woman he loved than agree a commoner to be married to their family. Her poor father!

He had been living a life full of lies. If anyone was the main victim here, then that was supposed to be their father.

Her mother too sacrificed alot for the two if them. Imagine being forcefully separated from the man you Loved and that too when you are pregnant with his child.

Her mother has really endured alot of suffering in this life. She vowed to treat her even better from today.

” My daughter, I hope you don’t blame your mother from keeping you away from your father.” Her mother said her voice full of hope.
