Bethel’s Pov:
The door opened and Ryan came in immediately. I was still on the call.
“Ryan?” The lady Called in a blaring voice.
“Are you really going to give me the silent treatment? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Ryan stood by the door and looked at me in surprise. He had my uniforms with him.
“Who’s that?” He asked, but I was speechless.
He came to me and collected the phone from me.
He looked at the screen and ended the call. All the while, I just watched sheepishly.
He kept mute for a while before dropping the uniform on the bed.
“You should go ahead and dress up” he said and turned to leave.
“Who’s she?” I asked and he looked back at me.
“Who?” I possum.
“The lady on the phone. She said something about…someone being sick – Dwayne”.
He sighed and touched his forehead.
“Listen, don’t pay any attention to it, okay? She’s just a fan who’s being pestering me to help her with some money, saying her brother’s sick. I’ve helped her a lot of times, but she keeps coming back its pissing me off already.” He explained.
I lowered my gaze to the floor, not knowing what to say or think.
“Hey” he called as he lifted my face and cupped my chin.
“Don’t give a thought to it, okay? She’s no one. I promise”.
I didn’t say a word and he k!ssed me.
He k!ssed me so passionately – weakening my bones.
Then, he moved my hair backwards after unlocking from the k!ss.
“Go on and take your bath, okay?”
“Okay” I smiled and went into the bedroom.
I just didn’t want to bother him much but as I laid in the bathtub, I couldn’t help but think about the strange call.
Who was that lady? And why was she calling Ryan’s name with so much anger and familiarity? She obviously didn’t sound like a fan.
And why was her line not stored on the phone? If Ryan really claims to know her?
Geez! So many thoughts occupied my mind.
There’s no way Ryan could be Cheating on me, right? I mean, I’m already giving him what he needs. What else will he be looking for in another lady?
God! Please, I really hope he’s not the type that engages in extra marrital affairs. I just hope he’s let gone of his playboy lifestyle already.
Oh, God! Please.
??????????????
Ryan’s Pov:
I dialed her line as soon as I was far away from the room.
She picked up immediately.
“Ryan…”
“Do you really want to die, Shirley?” I cut her off, angrily.
“R…”
“Tell me, are you seriously looking for death?” I growled.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Ryan. If I can remember, you’re the one who stopped picking my calls.”
“And why the f**k are you calling me? I don’t want to have anything to do with you, Shirley”.
“Well, Dwayne is sick”.
“So,, what? You need more money! Huh?”
“I don’t need anything. I just want you to come and see him”
I chuckled and placed my head on the wall.
“I swear to God, Shirley; I’ll kill you. If you ever call my line one more time, I’ll kill you and bury you myself”.
And I dropped the call.

Bethel’s Pov:
After bathing, I dressed up and had breakfast with Ryan before leaving for school. I noticed Ryan was kinda acting different, but I decided not to rack my head over it.
*************
The three days camp was the talk of the entire school as everybody kept making plans and preparations.
Those who wouldn’t be able to come as a result of not being able to pay the huge fees, kept carrying their moody faces around. They complained of the information coming to them too late and making their parents unable to afford the fees within that short period of time.
“I wish we get paired up in the same dormitory” Nicole said on our way to the cafe to have lunch.
“Yeah – me too”I mumbled.
We were about entering into the cafe when Kyle showed up and stood in front of us.
“Hey” he called and waved at me.
“Good morning, Kyle” Nicole replied before me, but he didn’t pay attention to her.
“Hi” I said with a light smile.
“Um…just wanted to be sure you’re okay. Hope your special husband didn’t get mad at you last night?” He asked and Nicole shot me a stare.
“He didn’t – not really. Although…he wants me to stop studying after school hours” I replied, feeling a little shy.
“Oh” he mouthed and scoffed.
“Okay, then. I guess I better leave you two alone” he said with a faux smile and walked away.
I turned and looked at him and suddenly felt bad. I made him feel like I was pushing him away. All thanks to Ryan – I guess.
“What happened between you last night, Bethel?” Nicole asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.
“Nothing” I sighed and rolled my eyes.
“But…”
“Can we go to the canteen already, please?” I cut her off and started walking ahead.

School was really boring for me that day. Well…maybe it was because I kept bothering my mind with Ryan’s strange call.
As soon as I got home, I showered and ate then laid on the bed to sleep. I just felt so weak and unusual.
I slept for a long time and by the time I woke up, Ryan was home already.
I found him sitting in front of the table, operating his laptop.
I wouldn’t have wanted him to know I was awake. But, somehow, he noticed and turned to look at me.
“Hey” he called as he took his eyes back to the laptop.
“You’re awake”.
I didn’t say anything as I yawned lightly and sat up.
At least, I felt a little better after the long sleep.
“You’re home early” I told him.
“Yeah – had to hasten up things.
I looked beside me on the bed where my phone was kept, but couldn’t find it anymore. Instead, I saw a brand new one.
It was an….What the fk??
IPhone 6 pink diamond.
Geez!
I wonder how many phones Ryan wants to have. But, where’s mine, anyway?
“Um…Ryan, did you take my phone?” I asked him as I stood up from the bed.
“Oh, yes. You wouldn’t be needing it anymore. I got you a new one instead. Its there on the bed. I’ve inserted your sims and registered your finger prints already.
I mean, you were sleeping so soundly like a day old baby and I did everything quietly” he chuckled at the last part.
I stood like a statue and looked at him with my mouth agaped.
What??? Did I just hear him correctly?
Hold on; the phone on the bed was mine???
I scoffed and looked at him, then back at the phone.
“R…Ryan,” I called in dismay.
“You got me a new phone?”
“Yes. I mean, I wouldn’t want my wife to move around in camp with an outdated phone” he replied with a smirk.
I chuckled like I wanted to cry.
Oh God! The phone was breathtaking.
I picked it up from the bed and stared at it with disbelief. Of course, I couldn’t believe it.
“Oh, Ryan!” I exclaimed and ran to him, hugging him from behind.
He chuckled and stood up and we hugged properly.
I buried my face in his manly chest and tried not to weep.
“Thank you” I whimpered and he smiled and patted me on the back.
“You don’t have anything to thank me for. You’re mine now and you’re my responsibility” he said tenderly and I flushed in a smile and held him tight.

Next_morning.
I parked my hair into two and twirled around in front of the mirror, making sure I was good to go.
My portable bag was already on the bed, neatly arranged and zipped and my new phone was lying beside it.
I smiled into the mirror.
Hm. I wonder what the camp’s gonna look like.
I was about reaching for my bag when the door opened and Ryan walked in, holding a small box, looking as charming as ever.
“You’re done?” He asked as he walked to the table and faced it.
“Yeah” I replied.
He took the box and turned to face me.
“Come on; sit” he told me and signaled me to sit on the bed and I sat curiously.
He opened the box and brought out a silver anklet.
Oh my God!
He knelt on one knee and took my left leg.
“You know, we can still go to the camp together. You don’t necessarily need to go with your school” he said as he locked the anklet around my ankle.
I chuckled.
“Sorry, but Nicole wants us to be together when we arrive. I’m the only friend she has” I replied and he scoffed.
He was finally done with the anklet and he stood up immediately, giving me space to admire it.
Oh, gracious! It was sparklingly beautiful! Incredible.
It was pure silver – of course. – and kept glittering with different lights.
“Thanks” I beamed as it made me blush.
I was putting on pure silver on my leg!
He helped me stand and kissed me afterwards. Then, led me out of the room, holding my bag for me.
He accompanied me to the garage where my driver was already waiting for me in my black jeep.
“Okay. So…I guess I’ll see you when you get there” I told him as we stood in front of my ride.
“Yeah – you can tell the organizers not to bother about getting you a room.” He said and I laughed when I understood what he meant.
“That’s silly. Bye”I told him and we hugged before I entered into the car.

We drove straight to the airport and there I met the entire place rowdy as our students occupied it.
Geez!
Few of our lecturers could be seen, moving about, some talking to the airliners. I really hope we take off soon.
I opened the door and came out with my bag after waving at my driver.
My new expensive phone was still in my hands and it gave me so much joy.
I wonder where Nicole could be in this crowd.
“Bethel!” I heard someone call my name and quickly turned, hoping it was Nicole.
But of course, the voice was different.
I looked and it was Shirley.
Oh!
So, she’s actually coming to the camp? After skipping school for how long?
“Hi…Long time”, she said happily and tucked her hair behind her ear.
The car she had arrived with was still parked behind her.
“Yeah – long time indeed. I actually thought you decided to drop out of school or something” I said and she laughed.
“Of course, not. Why would I drop out? I just had something important to attend to”, she replied.
Hm. Important indeed.
I was about turning away when a little boy suddenly jumped out of the car, running to her.
Wow! He was damn cute and lovely.
“Mummy!” He called and ran into her arms and she giggled and cuddled him.
Hold on, did I just hear mummy?
“Come on, love. I thought I told you to stay in the car? Come on, now. Grandma’s waiting for you. You shouldn’t keep her waiting. Remember you both need to see the doctor”, she said to the boy with so much affection.
“Okay mommy. I just wanted to give you one last k!ss before you leave” the little boy said and planted a k!ss on her cheek.
Wow!
She laughed and k!ssed him on his hair before taking him back to the car.
All I could do was stand and watch helplessly. I was confused.
She returned to where I was, smiling.
“Wh…Who’s that?” I asked curiously.
“I heard him call you mummy”
“Oh, yeah.” She beamed.
“He’s my son”.
What?
