My Life

Chapter sixteen

Ire’s POV

Living as a single mum was really hard but I have to be strong for my kids, few years ago if anyone had told me I’ll be living as a single mum I would have cursed the person for wishing me such ill luck but that was exactly where I found myself, I had told my husband over and over again that if ever he cheats on me I will disappear and he wouldn’t be able to find me and he had always laugh about this and said I can’t go anywhere that I am stuck with him because he will never cheat on me and I know that he probably didn’t set out to cheat on me but he did and I can’t bring myself to forgive him, his kind heart was bound to put him in trouble, he couldn't resist helping out where ever he can, women and men alike but most times the women tends to develop an affectionate attachment to him which I have warned him about severally but I guess it eventually happened.

That day, I called Dotun to find out when he’ll be home because I wanted him to buy somethings for me along the way but a lady picked up his phone and told me, he was taking his shower right now, Shower!! I asked shocked and she said yes, I cut the call before she could give me the gory details of their s****l escapades, I knew that voice belonged to his ex, so I couldn't picture why else he would be doing there and taking his shower. I didn’t say a word to Dotun when he got back home, I just kept studying him and I noticed sometimes he tells me he was in a place he wasn’t, so where was he really, I started planning my escape from him without letting him suspect anything, after three months of observing and arranging for my accommodation, I moved out of his house over the weekend when he went out to deliver some materials to one of his customers, I left a note, telling him to enjoy himself to the full without hiding it now that am gone, I know he’ll be looking for me, I moved to the city closest to him where he would not think to look, hiding in plain sight.

My kids are my world now, I live for them and nothing else, Emmy”s birthday is coming up soon and as usual I’ll take her to a studio for a photo shoot but no party, it will be just the three of us, I have thought of calling mum severally but I know if I do, I’ll end up telling her where I am and she will tell Dotun, I miss them all but I am not ready to face Dotun yet, I want my heart to heal completely, one day we will meet again but that day just wasn't today.
