Chapter 16.

Cameron POV ¶¶

In the beginning, our first two years of marriage were good when I had not yet met these guys. 

.

.

We use to have a discussion like.

One will say, 

"My wife can't speak to me like that, if not I will give her good lessons!."

They made me believe that having a conversation where my wife is against my opinion appeared like disrespect from her. So I wasn't giving her the room to talk anymore.

Meanwhile, in the beginning, I loved to listen to my wife's different opinions and her own way of looking at things.

Another will be like;

"My wife works but I keep all the money and I give her weekly pocket allowance!. When a woman is too free and independent she started being very disrespectful."

Then I was like 

"Hey, I give to much liberty to my wife, very soon she will start disrespecting me!.

I tell myself.

Then when I get back home, I tried to show her that I am the man. I insult her.

.

.

Till the day I finally laid my hands on her, that is a few months ago.

I felt really bad like I had betrayed her. I really love my wife. 

Though that feeling of being dominant and hitting your way is good. It really makes you feel like the man and that you have all the control over her.

Yet my love for her dominated that enormous sensation and I thank God for that.

So I went to one of the guys in the crew who hardly spoke about his own wife and I told him what I did to my wife. 

He nearly beat me up.

"Men... you got a good wife. Take a look she has two kids that she takes care of. She cooks for you and all your hungry friends every. And difficult traditional meals that their own wives can't even cook.!."

He laughed at me

Not understand how foolish I am.

"Cameron, don't be foolish and stop listening to everything these dudes says here. They just pretend and lie to each other to appear strong!. I know a few of their secrets but I am a good dude, I won't say it."

He keeps advising me.

"Really?."

I ask him.

No matter how you are grown-up or big, one can't know everything. 

"Never let people decide on how you are going to behave with your wife. If you feel bad it means you still love your wife. I have been observing you and your wife is the best among all of their wife. I know those guys before and better than you. So I know what I am telling you. You have been here for a few years and if you have been maltreating your wife for all those years just to please these guys, you better go and fix your home. And thank God that she hasn't left yet!."

"Thank you!."

I tell him as he opens my mind, to what he tells me.

"I don't know why men always fall for such fake friends. Learn how to study your friends. I always say this to my friends, if you are tired of her, tell her. Don't kill someone's daughter in your house. It's just married and you can divorce. No bi blood park!. and more to this, if they beat their wives must you beat yours because of that?. Don't be an Idiot!."

He speaks for long and he is in pain.

After work, I offer him some drinks.

"I am in pain because I know you have a good wife. And I am grateful for all the times she spent cooking for us to eat. I can't stand you maltreating her. I never noticed it!."

He speaks as he sips his beer.

"Thank you so much, Eva, I which I knew you had such good advice ever since!."

I hug him.

He really made me feel ashamed of myself and actions towards my wife. 

Then that day, I went home to my wife. That is the night she asked me not to bring my friends home again.

Then I began to avoid the other guys except for Eva.

After working one day, I made a surprise visit to Oscar.

Guess what, I was about to enter when I heard his wife yelling at him. I stood by the door listening.

"And if you want to eat, you can always go out and eat!."

His wife yells at him.

She even asked him to kneel and he kneeled.

"OMG!."

It was so embarrassing.

I wanted to leave, yet I didn't leave, I want him to know that I witnessed it. I barge into his house and he was kneeling.

When he saw me, he acted like he was picking something on the ground.

"Oh, I have seen it!."

He gets up.

And his wife moves to the room.

"Wow!. I am damn hungry!."

I exclaim

"Oh, sorry she didn't cook today, she came back late from work!."

Oscar lies.

I laughed in my heart.

"Anyway, it's okay, I will eat on my way back!."

With that, I leave.

.

.

Then the next day, 

Nick's wife came to our work with their three children and left. Saying that he is a bastard and a wicked man.

 Nick was also a victim as I but he has been with them long ago before I came. And Nick has more temperament than I, so I can just imagine what that woman has been going through.

The other guys were like let her go you will find another woman. Oscar was also speaking I was shocked. 

After they all spoke and left, I went to meet him privately.

I had to go to him and give him some hinds and advise him to go get back to his wife before it gets too late.

"You guys have three kids together, don't let her go if you still love her!."

I told him.

He followed my advice and he went back begging her. She accepted.

Patricia POV ¶¶

My husband is back.

I run and hug him as soon as he steps one foot out of his car.

"Thank you!."

I kiss him carelessly all over his face.

"Hahaha, you are welcome!."

He is laughing as I kiss him.

I take him to te house. The kids are asleep.

He eats and I follow him into the bath, we take are bath to gather make-out under the shower.

From the shower to the bed!.

Now we are all naked in bed, panting and all exhausted.

He wants to fall asleep. I wake him up.

"Baby, baby why the sudden change!."

I ask him

He hesitates

"We can chart tomorrow!."

he tells me

I frown at him.

"What if you change tomorrow. I feel like I have you this night, so let's chat now!."

I frown giving him a soft look

I get up and seat on the bed.

He behind to count his story.

After the is done, now I really get mad at him.

"Do you see what you caused me to do?."

I am yelling at him

"I said, I am sorry. I didn't realize!."

He pleads.

"I also have something to tell you!."

I tell him

He all gets confused. He thought I had cheated on him.

"I wasn't really rubbered, I set every up and sold the car!."

I explain

He takes a deep breath and he is instead relieved.

"You nearly cut off my heart. It's okay!."

He exclaims

"What you aren't mad at me?."

I wander

"If the money is with you fine!. I guess I deserve it."

he caressed my head.

"I want to see Eva, he helped me to get you back!."

I announce

"No problem!. Mrs. Cameron, can I invite Eva for dinner tomorrow?."

My husband is silly now but serious

"Of course, and every other day. If it's him and only him!."

I laughed while answering his question.

I kiss him and, we slept.

Suddenly, I am not feeling void anymore.

I filled with love and hope.

I sleep praying that he shouldn't change the next day. I guess this feeling will have to go with time.
