The first thing I did when I got hold of his phone was to open it. And to my surprise, he had a picture of a woman that wasn't me as his screensaver.
I almost lost my mind at that point because I never expected to see such as a shock. I knew that I had to look for more in his phone.
I didn't even need to do much when a notification lit up his device. It was from a contact saved as 'My heartbeat'. My curiosity took the better of me and I instantly clicked on the message to read the content.
'I miss you so much. When are you coming back to my place?'
That was the content of the message and it signalled just how serious the relationship between my husband and whoever the woman was.
It was going to be the same woman he sent the gift to. Chloe, or whatever her name was.
My curiosity led me to scroll all the way up so I could find the other messages between the two of them and the things I could see immediately gave me an idea of what was indeed going on between them.
The woman was pregnant for him. And from the messages, my husband was more than ready to father the child.
I heard footsteps getting close to the room and it was my signal to know that my time was up. I swiftly closed the messages and shut the device close, carefully placing it back on the cabinet before I sat back down on the bed.
I was right on time because as soon as I did that, Ezekiel got inside the room. That was a close call.
When he noticed that I was still up, the first thing he asked me was: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I'm not feeling sleepy actually..." That was what I told him in return. My heart was beating fast because I was scared that he was going to find out that I went through his phone. My tone didn't even hide how uneasy I was.
He shrugged and went to the closet to get a change of wear.
"You should be sleeping early. You know the stage you're in."
As he said that, my mind wasn't even with him. I was busy looking at his phone. I just knew I needed to get that woman's number one way or another.
