SHE WAS CARRYING A DISEASE THAT SHE WAS SO GRATEFUL FOR!

once upon a time there lived a couple who had been married for over 4 years without a child odinaka was a man who desperately wanted to have children for these four years he had made his wife's life a living hell his wife e wakes up every morning reminded of her inability to conceive a child her husband ridiculed her at every given opportunity and this began to take a toll on her health one more morning odinaka walked in on a k who was busy having breakfast his heart filled with anger as he watched her eat look

at how you are devouring The Offspring of another your mates are having babies and you are here eating eggs that you cannot even lay he said to a k who broke down in tears as she pushed her plate aside she had lost her appetite her husband's words cut deep but this was not the first time that he had spoken cly to her her mind drifted said back to a few weeks ago to the day they returned from the hospital she had undergone a series of fertility tests hoping to find out if IVF was a possible

option for her but the doctors informed her that she had fibroid e could not believe her ears she asked to know her fate and the doctors informed her that she had to First undergo an operation to remove the fibroid they advised that she had to do this before she even thinks of undergoing an IVF procedure aen was so heartbroken knowing how unsupportive her husband had been for all these years do you think I am a money-making machine he said to a who pleaded for some money for the fibroid operation your mates are carrying babies in

their womb whilst you are here carrying diseases he said to aen angrily as he walked out on her stating that she would work for her own money EES to De Frozen his s what echoing in her ears her heart AE but she was not surprised odinaka had never shown her any form of kindness in her struggle and now when she needed him the most she was not shocked to see his reaction determined not to give up e wiped her tears and set out to find a way she took on more Minal jobs working tirelessly from

morning till night she washed clothes cleaned houses and even worked as a nanny to a 2-year-old baby whose mother died during childb birth leaving the baby's father to cater for the baby alone the baby's father whose name was uchenna was a busy man who had no time to care for his baby himself he put a in charge of his baby trusting her to nurture and care for the child as if he were her own at first it was difficult for a can holding and feeding another woman's child when she longed to have her own but

over time the baby's innocent giggles and tiny fingers wrapping around hers softened the pain in her hearta noticed How Deeply she cared for the child he often returned home to find a can singing Softly As she rocked the baby to sleep you have the heart of a mother he told her one evening as he watched her wipe his baby's face with her tender hands echin smiled sadly as she said something that caught her boss's attention a mother with no child of her own she whispered as her boss ucha watched her with a look of sympathy

he had seen the pain in her eyes the quiet suffering she carried every day you are a mother he said gently a child is not just born from the womb but from love and care and I see that in you his words warmed her heart but she knew that they wouldn't erase the hurt that she had now endured that evening as she walked back home she felt lighter than she had ever felt in a very long time for once she had been appreciated someone had finally seen her what something her husband Oraka never did but

the moment she stepped through the door she knew trouble awaited her her husband odinaka sat in the living room his face dark with anger where are you coming from he asked angrily from work a replied quietly settling down her bag on the table odinaka scoffed and stood up towering over her work you mean from your Lover's house aines brows fro in confusion what are you talking about don't play dumb with me e he yelled I have heard the gossips you think I don't know you spent all day in another man's house taking care of his

child laughing with him and you expect me to believe that nothing is going on between you AES chest tightened she was too exhausted to argue but she couldn't let him accuse her of something that she didn't do whoa is my boss I take care of his baby and that is all odinaka laughed bitterly so now you are defending him you have the time to care for another man's child or you cannot give me my own child maybe if you spent less time playing mother to another man's son you would finally be able to have children

of your own he said to aen who stood there broken to hear such words from him his words felt like a dger piercing through her heart I am doing this for us Saka she said her voice trembling I work hard every day to raise money for my surgery for the IVF that cost so much money shut up odinaka said angrily I am your husband and I will not have my wife running around another man's house like a Shameless woman you will quit that job immediately and my decision is final e stared at him in disbelief

quit and do what sit here and wait for you to insult me every day like you used to oda's eyes darkened if you don't leave that job then get ready to leave my house silence fell between them as a swallowed hard her mind racing she had sacrificed so much endured so much and yet nothing was ever enough for him she thought of 's kind words she thought of the baby's innocent smile and how much she had fought to survive however e struggled with the thought of being homeless she could not risk odinaka pushing her out

of the house at this time she thought of what to do and decided to quit her job it was a hard decision for her but e believed that she would find a better job she paid a visit to her boss uchenna who pleaded with her to stay my son is already fond of you he said to Ain whose heart was so heavy he even went further to propose a 100% increase in her salary which e could not ignore with the salary increase e would be able to save up enough money for her surgery in a

short time she could not pass on such an opportunity although she knew the consequences of accepting it e requested for some time to think she arrived home a few minutes later to meet a strange woman who claimed to to be pregnant for her husband oaka her protruding stomach was undeniable his pregnant mistress sat comfortably on a Kess couch rubbing her stomach with satisfaction as she stared at her odinaka stood next to her his arms crossed this is AA he said coldly revealing that she was carrying his child a Kess breath caught in her troat the

room seemed to spin for a moment your child she whispered barely able to process what she was hearing yes odinaka said his voice LA with arrogance since you have failed me as a wife I found someone else who was willing to give me a child a complete woman whose womb is not disease streaking A's hands trembled she had endured years of his insult and years of his cruelty but this this was a betrayal that she never saw coming she turned to amaka who was now smiling at her suspicion iously as if she had won some

sort of a twisted competition how long e asked her voice barely above a whisper am Mara chuckled and placed a hand on her belly 5 months so while she was walking tirelessly struggling to raise money for the surgery to give him a child odinaka had already moved on Ain turned to her husband to see if he felt any atom of regret but what she saw was Pride so this is why you wanted me to quit my job she asked bitterly as tears ped down her eyes in that moment Ain knew that she had to secure

her job she called up her boss in front of odinaka who fled up in Anger to see that she decided to choose her job over him odinaka threw her out of his house as his pregnant mistress sat there and watched e had nowhere else to go she arrived her boss's house with her suitcase and explained the entire situation to him and her boss offered her a room in his house assuring her that she was safe in his home for the first time in years e felt a sense of relief she had spent so long living

in fear and humilation bending over backwards to please a man who never valued her but now standing in 's home she realized that she deserved morea could see how broken she was and desp being her boss he felt her pain he encouraged her to go ahead with the fibroid surgery promising to be by her side all through the way he even offered to lend her the money if she so needed Bo K refused she had walked to her to let someone else carry her burden with her increased salary she knew that she would be able

to afford her surgery in a few months so she walked diligently caring for the child who she had grown to love and cherish one afternoon As She Was preparing lunch in the kitchen she received the call that her husband oaka had gone to her family home to request for the bride prize that he had paid to her father a can stood Frozen her hand gripping the phone tightly she had imagined this moment countless times the day odinaka would finally discard her completely the day he would officially see the last tie that had bound them but

she never thought it would come this soon or this manner her mother's voice on the other end of the phone was filled with suppressed anger he came here with that woman she spot that Shameless thing standing by his side with her swollen belly acting like she's done something great he toss your bright prize on the table and acted like you were some commodity that he was trying to return not anymore she had already given odinaka too many of her tears I understand mama she said her voice steady let him go her mother hesitated e you

have a right to fight this you are his wife I was his wife mama she corrected he made his choice and I've made mine after ending the call ainel leaned against the counter exhaling deeply she was free truly free no more insults no more humiliation no more living under a roof where she was nothing but a punching bag months passed and the day of the operation finally came whicha accompanied Ain to the hospital he held her hand as the doctors wielded her into surgery everything was going smoothly in the theater until the doctors realized that

she was 9 months pregnant the whole place erupted in shock the doctors exchang glances disbelief written all over their faces the ultrasound scan had shown fibroids but what they did not realize was that hidden within the growth was a fully developed baby aen barely conscious could hear the doctor's Ming their voices filled with urgency she's in labor one of them said shockingly what the lead Sergeant looked at the screen again this isn't just fibroid she's been carrying a child all along the realization hit Ain like a wave but before she could fully process it a

sharp pain shot through her abdomen then everywhere went dark when she woke up a few hours later the first thing she heard was the soft cries of a baby she turned her head slightly and saw ucha sitting beside her cradling a tiny baby in his arms e he called out to her revealing that she was now a mother tears peeled down her cheeks a daughter her voice cracked whicha nodded his eyes filled with excitement yes you carried her all this time and didn't even realize it the fibroid hid your pregnancy the doctor said it's rare

but it happened a could not hold back her tears after years of being called baren of being insulted ridiculed thrown away like she was nothing she never knew that she had been carrying a child all along a miracle baby who came to wipe the shame off her facea gently placed the baby in her arms and the moment e looked down at her daughter everything else faded away the pain The Suffering The Rejection all of it her baby girl with tiny fingers curling around hers was proofed that God had never forsaken her whicha reached out and

brushed a tear from her cheek you are stronger than you know aen you always wear he said to her as she held her baby clothes e in that moment realized that she had found something far greater than what she had lost she had found love peace and most importantly herself as she laid there happy and excited her husband odinaka was in another part of the hospital weeping the weight of the world seemed to crash down on him as he sat in the hospital Corridor his hands trembling as he covered his face his cries were raw

but no one came to console him amaka the woman he had paraded as a complete woman had lost their child the very son he had mocked aen for not giving him was gone before he could even take his first breath the nurses and doctors passed by him without the Second Glance no one pied him for they had seen how badly he treated his wife aen the same woman he had ridiculed and abandoned was now holding her miracle baby in another part of the hospital the news spread like wildfire the same people who had once whispered

about a can supposed baress now spoke of her miracle baby odinaka could hear The Whispers he could not believe that his wife eeken had given birth to a baby on the same day that he lost his son he thought back to every insult that he had ever thrown at her the shame was now his to Bear summoning the last shred of his pride odaka forced himself to stand he needed to see his wife he needed to beg for forgiveness to plead for his second chance but when he reached her Hospital world he stopped on seeing

aen crowling her baby odinaka could see how happy she looked and could not forgive himself for all the pain that he had caed her he went down on his knees and pleaded for her forgiveness E I know I don't deserve your forgiveness but please I was blind I was a fool I let my pride and Desperation drive me to do unspeakable things If I Could Turn Back Time I would treat you like the queen that you are AEL looked down down at odinaka a man who had once crushed her spirit a man who had abandoned

her when she needed him the most you want my forgiveness or dinaka she said her voice steady and Powerful I forgive you the day you threw me out like trash that day I decided that you would no longer have control over my happiness but forgiveness doesn't mean a second chance Ora's eyes widened with pain you went to my family to request for my bride prize you embarrass me in front of everyone that I hold de she said her voice shaking in pain the moment you did that odinaka our marriage ended odinaka shoulders slumped his face

Twisted in agony as ain's word sank in he could see clearly that aen had moved on there was nothing more to say nothing left to fight for he had destroyed his own home with his bare hands and now he had to leave with the consequences slowly he got on his feet he cast one last look at the baby as he walked away e watched as he disappeared down the hospital Corridor his shoulders slumped in De feat but she felt nothing for him not anger not Satisfaction Just peace she looked up at her boss ucha who

smiled gently at her and asked if she was okay aen nodded in agreement and for the first time in years she truly meant it that was how Ain continued to work for ucha looking after her daughter and his son as time went onena developed feelings for A and B his mind to her a too had fallen deeply in love with him and accepted to be with him for the first time in her life she was loved the way she had always dreamed ofena was patient kind and gentle with her he didn't rush her didn't demand

anything from her and was always there supporting her encouraging her making her feel valued at first e hesitated she had just come out of a painful and toxic marriage the scars of oda's Cruelty were still fresh but uchenna was different he never raised his voice at her never made her feel less than a woman never made her question her what over time she allowed herself to love again their bond grew stronger with each passing day and their children Chisum and obina became Inseparable it was as though Faith had written their love story long before they

even realized it that was how e found love again as she finally got married to uchenna and lived happily ever after the lesson to be learned from this story is that life has a way of rewarding us for our actions we should learn to be kind and patient for what we give to others will always find its way back to us always remember that your what is not defined by what others think we are all worthy of love and respect regardless of our struggles life may throw challenges our way but perseverance will always bring us

to our breakthrough often times life may not go as planned but when the time is right everything falls into place so we should learn to trust the process as today's struggles can turn out to be tomorrow's victories I hope you enjoy this history
