The hotel was an impressive three-star affair that stood at the outskirts of the city. James approached the middle aged mayguard who regarded him with a suspicious stare. He looked hungry and was clearly not in the mood for pleasantaries. James studied him for a while and brought out a roll of money from his pocket and the eyes of the mayguard brightened up immediately.

James took his time to explained what brought him to the hotel and presented his wife picture to him. The mayguard confirmed that the receipt belonged to the hotel but he didn't quite recognise the face of the women on the photo. James proceeded in handing him the roll of cash, the photo, and his phone number too. He asked the mayguard to give him a call anytime the woman in the photo visited the hotel. He promised him more money when he supplies valuable information about his wife activities at the hotel.

On his way back home, James kept wondering if his wife had the tendency to cheat. He silently prayed let it be that he was wasting his time and money.

James wife returned home later in the afternoon. She was in high spirit and she began to fervently tell her husband how her day went. James was pleasantly surprised at this sudden change in her behavior. They had been enjoying the moment together when they were suddenly interrupted by a call from her phone. She picked it up immediately and as soon as she saw the caller, she apologized to her husband that she had to go out again for an urgent meeting. Before James could say another word, she had already dashed out of the room.

James woke up later in the evening and found out that he had missed several calls from the mayguard of the hotel. He called back immediately.

"Your wife just stepped in with another man two hours ago", the mayguard said, breathlessly. He told James to check his WhatsApp where he had sent several images of his wife and her lover.

James felt his blood boiling in his veins and his body vibrated with violent rage from his head to his toes. Minutes later, the mayguard sent more damning photos of his wife and the other men in loving embrace and requested for the remaining part of the money to be transferred.

James couldn't confront his wife when she arrived home. Days pass and she continue to act as if he was the love of her life. James had now began to suffer from awful headaches and chest pains as a result of the accumulated rage in his body, especially when his mind remembered flashes of the pictures the mayguard had sent.

Sometimes, when his wife was out, he'd feel like following her to the hotel and inflicting harm on her and her lover. But he quickly dismissed such thoughts even if he knew he had the guts to carry it out. He wasn't also afraid of going to prison, but he had to consider his five year old kid too. James had more questions than answers but he was still unable to comfront his wife over her infidelity.

For a while now, there had been this beautiful lady in the hood who had been giving James all the signs that she's up for grabs but James never took the opportunity because he held his wife at such a high esteem. Soon, James began to contemplate on having an affair with this younger lady. After all, if his wife could cheat, he thought as a man, he had a higher appanage to cheat. Two can play the game and he knew he could even play the game so well that his wife would never be aware. But he quickly dismissed that thought too.

"You don't eat dust because your friend is eating dust too, you would only harm yourself and your soul". Two wrongs can't make a right, it only makes things worse. By the way, he isn't that kind of man.

James monthly income had increased considerably from the online jobs he was engaged in. Maybe this was the time to exit this sham of a marriage and go live somewhere else. He couldn't stop himself from thinking that the reason for his wife brazen infidelity was because she was the breadwinner of the home, hence she might believe she could behave any way she wanted.

He came to a decision to confront his wife about her cheating and whatever the reactions, explanations or apologies, he wouldn't care. He'd pick up his son from school the following day and that would be the last day his wife would ever see him and their son again.

The End
