The sight of Ace creeping and tiptoeing into Junior’s room that night was enough to bring tears to the eyes of any faithful wife. It might look or feel like nothing to some people and might feel like the height of betrayal to others. Not everyone is unfaithful and there’s nothing as devastating as being perceived as something you are far from. Poor Belinda!
Days slowly passed by as Ace waited for his doctor’s appointment. Those few days were the most traumatising days of his life and it gave him goose-bumps and intense tension. He couldn’t just wait to get everything over with and know the truth once and for all. After waiting for few days, the D-day finally came for the DNA Test to be conducted.
Puzzles are quite difficult to crack and that was the present situation of Ace’s life. Finally, the DNA Test results were out and had been communicated to the desperate man that hadn’t slept well in a couple of days as he anticipated the results. However, the only awkward thing about the whole report was the confusion in what the doctor communicated.“Sir I’m sorry, I didn’t get you well. You said the test results were Negative so how come your last sentence?” Ace nervously inquired. It was then that it dawned on the doctor that there was a slip of tongue so he immediately corrected himself. “Oh, slip of tongue please; I meant to say that the result came out Positive so congratulations, the child is truly yours, no reason to panic” the doctor said.
That day, Ace arrived home very late due to traffic. Immediately his car drove in, his son ran towards him. “Daddy daddy, come and see what mummy bought for me” Junior said. The excited little boy held his dad’s hand and gently dragged him inside the house. Due to that unexpected distraction, Ace wasn’t able to carry on with his initial plan of disposing the test result, so it was still in his pocket.Junior was super hyped that evening and kept showing his dad one thing or the other. After over 30 minutes of being distracted by the little boy, Ace finally regained his freedom but Belinda was now in his space. “Baby your food will soon get cold, sit and eat” she calmly said as she dished out the food into their plates in the dinning table. Without having any option, he tiredly sat
There’s nothing hidden that won’t be revealed and nothing concealed that won’t be disclosed; the only factor needed is ‘Time’. No matter how fast a person runs, they can never run away from the harvest of what they sowed; whether good or bad. Ace felt his little secret was safe with him forever. Never in a thousand years did he ever imagine that his wife ‘Belinda’ would find the hidden skeletons in his cupboard. It’s apparent that Ace forgot that those who live in glass houses don’t throw stones. When you point one finger at someone, don’t forget that the other four fingers are pointing right back at You in the face. There was serious fire on the mountain, but Ace hadn’t figured yet that his marriage was headed towards a mighty fall that would damage things almost beyond repair. At this point, all we can do is
On seeing that there was nothing to be done to change his wife’s mind, Ace accepted to conduct the test too for her; if that’s what it would take for peace to reign. On seeing that Belinda was still raged and furious with the whole situation, he tried his best to calm her down and manage the issue before things escalates further. If only he knew that the battle had only just began. All through that day, the whole atmosphere was tensed and filled with negative vibes. Belinda kept malice with her husband and didn’t utter a single word to him all through that day. Deep down in her heart, it killed her deeply whenever she remembered the fact that Ace doubted her love and loyalty for him. It was truly heart breaking for her to digest the bitter reality that was right in front of her.
Most times, the first person to get to the police station isn’t always the one that wins the case. An innocent mind fears no accusation, but a guilty person is usually up on it’s toes in fear. The unbelievable revelation by the doctor, as regards Belinda not being the true mother of her son of 6 years was alot to digest. Like how on earth is that even possible? How can Ace DNA Test result come out Positive while Belinda’s own came out Negative? How can the dots be connected and figured out? Well, it’s apparent that the truth was no longer far fetched, as every hidden secret was about to be uncovered. Deep down in the doctor’s mind, he had already figured what could have went wrong but he didn’t want to attack the confused couple with questions or intense probing. The atmosphere was tensed already so the doctor figured
Since that day, Belinda still haven’t gotten herself due to what happened back at the hospital. She barely spoke to anyone asides her son and always isolated herself from Ace. She hated him for putting her through everything she was presently going through. The fact that he was the one that instigated everything concerning the ‘DNA Test’ made her hold him accountable for the misery she was feeling.Countless times, the scared married man tried to make peace with his wife and rekindle their love but all to no avail. Belinda kept pushing Ace away and never wanted to hear anything from him because she was dealing with a lot of emotional trauma as she anticipated the final DNA Test results. They both kept their fingers crossed till the results finally came out.
One minute of pleasure can lead to a lifetime of problems. If only Ace knew that his ‘One Night Stand’ with Rita would result to an unwanted pregnancy that will in-turn cause a lifetime damage to his union with Belinda, then I guess he would have zipped up his trouser and commanded the Devil to Flee. Majority would say the ‘Baby Switch’ was fate, but do you think such an incident would have happened in the first place if Rita didn’t give birth at that same moment Belinda did? A little twist could have prevented that switch but it’s quite unfortunate that everything turned out the way it did.It’s so funny how people with the worst secrets and skeletons in their cupboard are usually the first to suspect or point accusing fingers on an innocent person. Out of the abundance of the conte
When they arrived home, Belinda was about to open the car door but Ace locked it from the control lock that was at his own door end. “Babe please let’s talk before we go in. There’s so much happening now and I guarantee it is out to destroy our marriage” Ace soberly said and before he could talk further, Belinda hushed him. “Don’t ever pretend like we are OK because we are not; I repeat, we are not OK! How can you do this to me? What did I do to deserve such back-to-back betrayal from you? My own child is somewhere out there and all the comfort I can get from you is the news that you cheated on me? What kind of husband are you? See, till I find my child and get to the root of this matter, just leave me the hell alone” she said and banged the door behind her.On thing was clear that evening and it was the fact tha
