Confessions Of An Escort – Episode 26

_26_

 

I take a deep sigh as I look at Mark.

 

‘Thank you for having Sean and Chisenga under your roof, we will be leaving now.’ I say looking at him, he doesn’t even look at me. Despite his problems with Urah I am just grateful that he took my people under his wing.

 

‘Get your things and meet me in the car.’ I say looking at Chisenga

 

‘Let me drop you home.’ Francis says and I just nod my head

 

When everyone is in the car, Francis drives us to my place. Sean is in the front with him whilst we all sit at the back, Urah has her head on my shoulder. When we get home it is quiet, no one is saying anything to the other.

 

I allow them to go inside the house whilst I remain outside with Francis.

 

‘I will go and talk to Mark, I hear what he has to say.’

 

‘Sure.’ I say wanting to walk away so that I go and talk to Urah as well

 

‘Babe.’

 

I turn to look at him

 

‘Mark is fragile, he loves Urah so much but I have never seen him getting back with anyone after being hurt.’

 

‘I understand.’ I say with a smile that doesn’t reach my eyes

 

‘You wont ask why?’ I ask my curiosity getting the best of me

 

‘By virtue of you being my woman, you are answerable to me. Urah is not, she answers only to Mark and no one else. She owes no one an explanation, not even our family.’ He says

 

I move to where he is and stand on my toes, reaching for his lips. He tilts his head a little and hungrily kisses me as his hand wraps around my waist.

 

‘Go and calm her down, she needs you.’ He says

 

‘Take care of yourself.’

 

‘I will, for you. You do too.’ He says and I smile watching him drive off

 

I go straight to my room where Urah is pacing about, tears falling.

 

‘What happened?’

 

‘Joan texted Mark, sent him pictures and literally dished out everything about me.’

 

‘She isn’t targeting you.’ I say my intuition not failing me

 

‘What do you mean?’

 

‘Earlier when I used your car, it’s Mer’vis and Jo that I went to meet. They asked me to stay away from their men or they would publisize my life.’

 

‘What does that have to do with me?’

 

‘When they hurt you, they hurt me.’ I say

 

‘If this is the case then Sean is not safe.’

 

‘I know.’ I respond trying to think

 

‘What will you do?’

 

 

‘Hit them when they least expect it.’

 

‘What do you mean?’

 

‘I won’t use anyone that is close to me, Jo has always hated me and she thinks she is better than me. But how about showing the world that her marriage is not as perfect as it seems?’

 

‘Babe two wrongs don’t make a right.’

 

‘George has always wanted out.’

 

‘What?’

 

I chuckle

 

‘Honey not all that glitters is gold, sometimes it is aluminum foil.’

 

‘Am not following.’ She says

 

‘Jo is not carrying George’s child.’

 

‘You don’t say.’ She says looking shocked

 

‘A prenatal paternity test was done.’

 

‘Huh?’

 

I sigh realizing I must have spoken French

 

‘George was suspecting for some time that Jo was cheating on him, and it kept bugging him. Plus he can’t conceive.’

 

‘No.’ she says holding her mouth

 

‘But did she cheat?’

 

 

‘Not by sleeping with someone.’

 

‘What?’

 

‘When she broke the news about being pregnant he called me.’

 

‘Why you though?’

 

‘Apparently he thinks I am the woman for him.’ I say rolling my eyes

 

‘Did you know about his infertility though?’

 

‘I did yes, his low sperm count not infertility as such.’

 

‘Same thing.’ She says

 

‘Babe focus.’

 

‘Okay.’

 

‘So he came to me and explained the situation, but he needed evidence. So he arranged with a doctor friend of mine whilst she had gone for antenatal to have samples taken.’

 

‘Wait, how is all that done?’

 

‘For the baby’s DNA to be analysed, we had to get fluid from the womb containing cells from the baby. This was collected by inserting a needle through the abdomen.’

 

‘Ouch.’

 

‘For the two, we got blood samples.

 

‘Wasn’t that illegal though?’

 

I sigh

 

‘If a paternity test is required for legal reasons, the samples must be taken under strict conditions, as required by the court. But the woman must consent to the samples being taken and tested.’

 

‘I doubt she did.’

 

‘She signed some papers.’

 

‘Did she know?’

 

‘Nop.’

 

‘Wow.’

 

‘George wants out, there is nothing he is living for and knowing Jo she wont have it. She doesn’t love him but she knows he is the only one who can tolerate her nonsense and that is why she will do anything to keep him.’

 

‘Even if her happiness is on the line?’

 

‘We are a special gender.’ I say picking my phone

 

‘George.’ I say when he picks up

 

‘Yes beautiful.’

 

‘I need a favor.’

 

‘Anything for you.’

 

‘How would you like to play hurt husband.’

 

‘I have waited for you to ask this for the longest of time.’

 

I smile

 

 

‘What can I do for you.’

 

‘Who is responsible for Jo’s pregnancy?’

 

He laughs

 

‘You really want to know?’

 

‘It will do me a lot of good.’

 

‘It cost her a lot of money.’

 

‘Her baby and yours are siblings.’ He adds ‘Bloody bitch.’ I spit feeling the bile rise

 

‘She had the sperm imported all the way from Germany.’ ‘But how did she get Ezra to do it?’

 

‘She hired someone those ends, he convinced him plus he was in desperate need of money.’

 

‘All that for what? So that she can have the life I have? Or what exactly?’ I ask feeling drained

 

‘Your sister is a psychopath.’

 

‘Do you have evidence?”

 

‘And she is also careless.’

 

‘Email me everything, I need to give her a taste of her own medicine.’ I say dropping the line

 

‘What?’

 

 

‘We are small small escorts, then there are psychopaths.’

 

‘What?’

 

‘Jo is pregnant for Ezra.’

 

‘No, but how?’

 

‘I will explain later, after I ruin her.’

 

‘Do you have to?’

 

‘She has done so much damage already, its high time she gets a dose of her own medicine. Am okay with her messing up my life, but not yours. No body messes with my sister.’ I say

 

‘I love you.’

 

‘I love you.’ I respond
