Yande scribbled down some things on his piece of paper, the recorder had been turned off. This wasn't good enough but he was just glad that Ellie had began to open up to him.
'You were happy weren't you?' He finally asked
'Of course I was.' She responded with a huge smile
'Why?'
She smiled standing up and putting her hands deep in her pockets
'Yande I married my best friend, I didn't have to think twice about saying yes the minute he proposed to me.'
'And yet here we are.' He said sighing
She smiled at him.
'I am in a good mood today, let me tell you more of my perfect marriage.' She told him sarcastically
He put his recorder back on and watched as she stared out of the window.

Work was boring that day, maybe because I knew that Mwewa was home. I just wanted to go back to him, I wanted to talk to him about something. I felt I was ready for us to start having children, I knew he was dying for us to conceive but with the rate at which people were divorcing I wasn't sure I wanted to bring a child into a broken home. But what more proof did I need that heavens were on our side, what else did I need to know that we were meant to be? And so I had decided to get off the pill but because he was my bestfriend and husband I had to tell him incase he wasn't ready.
By sixteen I was out of the office, I regretted not driving myself to work because now I had to rely on a cab and I hated another person driving me if it wasn't my husband.
I was home after an hour and thirty minutes, I needed to take a bath. I was feeling exhausted and I knew I could use a relaxing thirty minutes in the bathtub.
'Somebody looks tired.' Mwewa said opening the door wide
I smiled and just buried myself on his chest
'Oh you poor thing.' He said kissing my hair and getting my bag
'Carry me.' I said in a low voice
I was just playing but he did taking me to the bedroom.
He placed me on the bed and helped me out of my clothes pausing each minute to admire my body
'Babe I am your wife.' I said as my own desire burned me
'You are still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.' He said kissing me on the lips
I was tired but I couldn't resist him, how could I when i was already getting turned on.
He kissed me passionately, like it was our first. I didn't want to make out, I just wanted him in me but not before telling him that I was off the pill.
'Babe.' I said looking him in the eyes
I could see the desire burning
'I am off the pill.' I told him and for the first time in a long time I saw him look at me with a love so pure, he didn't have to tell me that he was happy; the way he made love to me that evening was enough to show it. And with each time thrust I wanted more, and when he poured into me the fourth time I knew I had conceived.' I said

'You didn't have to give me the details.' Yande said almost causing me to laugh
He was so innocent another day another time I would have loved to get him out of the shell.
'Tell me a little about your daughter Ellen.'
I smiled.
'Ellen is the most beautiful child I know, and not because she is mine but because it's the truth. The most intelligent too, got it from her father. I wasn't always brainy you know, Mwewa always made up in that area for the both of us.'
'Dont you miss her, I mean you had a choice.'
'A choice?' I chuckled
'Yes, you could have been home right now sitting with her in the living room. Drinking coffee and possibly roasting some mashmellows.'
I sighed
'My daughter is female and as such, everything she learns on how to be a lady she learns from me and I would hate myself knowing I taught my daughter how to be weak and take the nonsense that is thrown at her.'
'Ellen hates you.'
'For now.' I responded trying not to think of my daughter
'Can you tell me about when all this started, I mean you dont want to tell me how in love you two were. That's not what brought you here.' He said
I smiled.
Yande was inpatient, I wondered how it was with girlfriend. I for one knew that I could never put up with such.
'You can switch on your recorder.' I said facing him, back against the wall

Ellen had turned two and now more than ever I and Mwewa had grown more in love because with the little girl around what else did we need? She was daddy's little princess and I knew it deep within me that if need be I would use her as bait to keep him.
I had decided to go back to school for my masters and so each day I had to go to ZCAS where I was attending classes, it was hard juggling marriage, motherhood, school and work but I had no choice hence I was making it work.
I had just knocked off from school on a Thursady evening and when I got home, I didn't find Mwewa there. It was the first time I was getting home earlier than him in years. I checked on the maid then Ellen who was fast asleep when I went into her room.
I went over to her bed, kissed her forehead then nicely put the beddings which she was now throwing down.
'I love you baby.' I whispered
I stood up to leave but almost stumbled back to my feet when I saw Mwewa standing there. He had this look in his eyes that I couldn't put a finger to.
'Hai babe.' I said kissing him on the lips lightly
'Hey.' He said
'How was your day?' I asked walking to the bedroom with my shoes in one hand and bag in another
'It was okay, was with the guys after work at Granddaddy's.'
'Oh okay.' I responded
I got to the bedroom and stripped before heading to the bathroom, usually we would bath together but he stayed behind and only bathed after I was done. By the time he was coming to bed I was already fast asleep but the messages on his phone I heard even in my sleep.

Yande switched off the recorder and looked at me searchingly but there was no emotion on my face.
'Do you think this is when it started?'
'Coming to think of it now I had run into the guys as I left school that day. They told me they were going to Roan and Sable for a few drinks and he told me they were at Granddaddy's.' I said my eyes fixed on the recorder
'Do you think this is when this started?'
'Yes.' I said
'We will continue tomorrow.' He said looking at his watch
I watched as he packed up his things and the police officer came to take me away to my cell.
'Ellie.'
'Yes.'
'I will be going to see your husband tomorrow, is there anything you would want me to tell him?'
'I hope he lives long enough to see more misery.' I said with a huge smile
I laughed as I was taken away seeing the horror on his face.
