THE PACT
-CHAPTER 19-
TWO MONTHS LATER,
LEE
‘’By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may k!ssyour bride!’’ The Minister says.
Heart racing, I lift the veil and stare into her eyes, lowering my head slowly I k!ssher gently and softly. The congregation begins to applaud. ‘’I now pres£nt Mr. and Mrs. Mumbi!’’ is announced by the minister as ourl-ips p@rt and we turn to face our guests.
Sli-pping my arm into hers and to the swell of the organ music, Kristy and I march out of the church.
For the next couple of minutes we line up in front of the church and pose for some ph0tos.
After that we head out for more ph0tos and lunch before we start getting re-ady for the reception.
Kristy and her mother went big for this wedding, for a moment there, I thought this was real, our performance too has been on point, no one would ever guess that this is actually fake.
KRISTY
11 P.M, we walk into the h0tel and Lee surprisingly carries me across the threshold and places me on the be-d. My wedding was beautiful, I went all out for this day- I have no regrets about it, Lee and me trending on various social media platforms, we will definitely be the talk of social media for the next few weeks- that’s the type of attention I enjoy.
‘’We did it,’’ I excitedly say, now more than ever Mr. Sondashi and his family believe my story. I managed to fool everyone including my mother, she is very happy and actually believes that Lee and I are de-eply in love.
‘’Yes, we did,’’ he pours us some wine and hands me a glas-s.
‘’Thank you.’’
‘’Cheers Mrs. Mumbi,’’ he says while raising his glas-s.
I smile, l don’t know why but I love being called ‘’Mrs. Mumbi’’ even if it’s temporary, the thought of having a whole husband of my own amazes me, I had no idea I would be this happy to be married to Lee even if this is fake.
‘’Cheers Mr. Mumbi,’’ we clink our glas-ses together and then take a sip.
‘’Six months! Six months is all we’ve got until we call it quits,’’ he says.
‘’How about we make the next six months worthwhile, no strings attached but let’s make the six months count.’’
‘’Now you want to be friends?’’
‘’I want us to revisit some of the terms that we put up when we first started.’’
‘’Which of the terms do you want us to revisit?’’
‘’I won’t be with anyone else for the next six months ap@rt from you and–.’’
‘’And what?’’ he looks at me in a way that makes my heart race.
The past few months have sort of been tense between Lee and I, we have k!$$£d and made out a couple of times but he always walks away when things get heated leaving me with an intense de-sire for love ma-king. The thing is that I am S-xually frustrated and I nee-d to get it out of my system, I want us to revisit the terms and add S-x to it with no strings attached though.
‘’S-x with no strings attached,’’ I say keeping my voice light.
‘’You want us to have S-x?’’
‘’Yes,’’ I nod.
I never thought I would find myself begging Lee to have S-x with me, well I still hate him but since we are alre-ady married there is no harm in going all the way. He stares at me before he does something strange- he bur-sts into loud pearls of laughter.
I shoot him a questioning look, ‘’I don’t find this a laughing matter.’’
‘’I am sorry, I just find it funny that you are asking me to have S-x with you.’’
I shrug, ‘’Just forget it, I think I will go and freshen up.’’
I walk into the bathroom and change from my wedding dress to a bathrobe, after I re-move my makeup and brush my hair, I walk back into the room and pack my wedding dress. We are going for a week’s honeymoon in the Maldives. I intend on doing daily Vlog posts about my experience that side, we are traveling with one person from my media team.
‘’I will take the be-d and you will take the couch,’’ I say. Mum booked us this room and there is only one be-d in it.
‘’But I want to sleep next to my wife.’’
‘’fv¢k you!’’’
‘’It takes two to fv¢k, one can’t do that alone, I am more than re-ady to do the nee-dful.’’
‘’I am not interested.’’
He laughs, ‘’weren’t you just begging me a few minutes ago?’’
‘’I wasn’t begging you, I was giving you an offer and apparently you declined it and I un-derstand, can you shut up alre-ady?’’
‘’So you don’t want to have S-x with me anymore?’’
‘’I am not interested!’’ I snap.
‘’You are sure?’’
‘’St©p pla-ying mind games with me you fool, I am still your boss and I hate you with every—.’’

Lee
She is busy yelling and telling me how much she hates me when I gr-ab her arms and crash my mouth to hers effectively silencing her, a tingling feeling of awakening sweeps throu-gh my whole b©dy as I yank her ti-ght to my b©dy and k!ssher ha-rd .
‘’I think it’s about time we consummated our marriage,’’ pu-lling the towel down, I toss her on the be-d, then I yank my shi-t over my head and push down my p@n-ts. Getting on t©p of our, we both gr0@nwhen our skin meet. Using my ton-gue and hands I explore everywhere- feasting at her brea-sts, she squirms and whimpers.
‘’Are you sure?’’ I ask, crawling up her b©dy.
‘’More than sure!’’ she g@sps.
Without asking anymore questions I sink into her and k!ssher ha-rd as I make her mine. Holding me ti-ght, she screams my name and digs her f!ngersinto my back. thrû-sting powerfully into her, I drive in over and over again. In her re-lease, she cries out as her b©dy tenses.

AISHIA
‘’Hey guys! Welcome to my live stream, it’s your favorite girl Kristian aka Mrs. Mumbi and my husband Lee. As you know, my husband and I just got back from the Maldives where we went for our honeymoon, expect more videos and ph0tos from me in the next few days- so today my husband and I will be doing a tour of our new house, come with us—-.’’
I am sitting cross legged on the be-d staring at my phone watching Kristy’s live Video.
I have followed her page and personal account and I watch everything she posts. She had her wedding streamed online and last week she and Lee went to the Maldives for their honeymoon, their pictures were displa-yed all over social media sites. She has quite a number of followers and they seem to like her drama, I don’t even un-derstand why they like her, she is not even funny, I find her annoying – she is boastful and loves to show off. She is actually not as beautiful as she thinks she is.
It’s just the makeup and the expensive clothes she wears that make her look this elegant. Imagine what she would look like if she were poor? I should applaud her though for the tremendous job she has done on Lee, he looks so handsome and smart, this doesn’t look like the man that I fell in love with, it’s true what they say, money makes people look cleaner and better.
‘’So you are still watching her videos?’’ George asks, emerging from the bathroom and wiping her b©dy with a towel.
‘’This girl thinks she runs the world, she is so dramatic.’’
‘’I don’t un-derstand you at all.’’
‘’St©p trying to st©p un-derstanding me,’’ I snap before su-cking down half my bottle of bear and burp, taking another sip, I place the bottle back on the be-dside table.
‘’It’s too early to be drinking Aisha, you nee-d to get yourself another job before you waste away.’’
I roll my eyes, ‘’what is that even supposed to mean? Are you tired of seeing me?’’
‘’That’s not what I said, I just want you to find yourself something to do, you have can’t be sitting at home drinking all day.’’
I choose not to respond because he is slowly getting me upset and I am trying so ha-rd to be in a good mood.
I met George when I was still with Lee, he actually convinced me to leave Lee for him- we have been together for a couple of months now, things were amazing in the beginning but not anymore. And to make matters worse I lost my job and I have to depend on him now, I swear I regret leaving Lee, he looks so much better and from what I have found out he has a better job now and he is ma-king a lot of money.
‘’I am going for work now,’’ he says when he is done getting dressed.
I just stare at him and continue staring at my phone, I don’t want to talk to him.
‘’Find something productive to do, clean the house, cook a meal or maybe just re-ad something.’’
He walks out after saying that and I roll out of be-d, I nee-d to find a way to get my man and child back.

KRISTY
Lee and I have just finished doing a live stream of our house tour, mum got us a new furnished house as a wedding pres£nt and I wanted to show it to the world. We got back from our honeymoon yesterday, both of us resume work next week. The honeymoon was beautiful, Lee treated me like a queen for a moment there our marriage felt real.
We are sitting in the living room, he is re-ading something while I am texting Jada on my phone. I want to invite her and her family over for lunch during the weekend just to thank them for the support rendered during the wedding.
‘’I think Sunday after church is okay, I will check in with dad and mum,’’ Jada says.
I am about to reply to her message when a knock sounds on the door.
Lee stands up, ‘’I will get it.’’ I have s£nt the maid out on an errand.
‘’Okay,’’ I say without looking up from the phone.
I respond to Jada’s message with, ‘’okay sis, I can’t wait to have you over here, you nee-d to see my new house.’’
‘’I just finished watching your live video- the house tour.’’
‘’What do you think?’’
‘’I love the house, the furniture and decorations too are amazing.’’
‘’Thank you, you should see it in person.’’
‘’Can’t wait.’’
‘’Kristy!’’ a familiar voice says and I look up from my phone to find Mr. Msizi and his daughter standing in front of me, what are they doing in my house? Who even told them where I moved to? I haven’t seen both of them since I quit my job. Mr. Msizi has been trying to get in t©uçh with me but I don’t respond to his calls and messages. I really want to have anything to do with him and his family.
‘’What are you guys doing in my house? Who invited you?’’
‘’If the mountain will not come to Muhammad then Muhammad must go to the mountain,’’ he says before he sits down.
‘’That’s not a way to welcome your family into your new house dearest sister.’’
‘’I am not your sister Kenzie, the sooner you realize that the better for everyone.’’
‘’You guys are welcome to our house, can I get you something to drink?’’ Lee says and I shoot him a serious look.
‘’No, we are fine we don’t want anything to drink.’’
‘’Sure.’’
‘’What do you want?’’ I ask again.
‘’So you got married and didn’t invite me? I had to watch my own daughter’s wedding on Facebook?’’
I didn’t invite Mr. Msizi to the wedding, Robert is the one who gave me away.
‘’I watched another man give you away while I am still alive, child that’s the worst thing anyone has ever done to me. I am more disappointed in your mother for allowing such nons-en-se—-,’’
‘’St©p right there!’’ I cut him off short, ‘’I am a grown up and I make my own decisions, don’t you dare include my mother in your nons-en-se. Yes I got married without your approval, do whatever you want to do.’’
‘’I am your father Kristian, no matter what I did in the past I am still your father and it is my right to marry you off.’’
I roll my eyes, ‘’you lost that right the minute you walked away, plea-se leave my house.’’
‘’Kristy!’’
‘’Leave my house,’’ I say fiercely pointing to the door as I speak. ‘’You get out the both of you.’’
‘’Í told you coming here was a bad idea,’’ Kenzie says rising to her feet.
‘’Í will keep coming back until you forgive me,’’ he says before he stands up and they head out.’’
‘’You shouldn’t have treated them like that,’’ Lee says when they walk out.
‘’And you are telling me what to do? My husband? This marriage is fake Lee, you have no right to control me.’’
‘’Okay boss,’’ he raises his hand in surrender.
He gr-abs his book and continues re-ading while I get my phone and decide to text my mother. We sit in silence for a while until his phone rings, he picks it up stares at the screen before he answers, ‘’Madam Veronica!’’
‘’What?’’ his face drained of all colour and the phone sli-ps from his hand and drops to the floor.
