The Trinity-Episode 19








Sit down Jason, don’t go anywhere I have a lot to tell you.” Said Amah.

Jason sat down at the edge of his seat. He had a feeling that something akin to a moving train was about to hit him. He braced himself and waited for the hammer about to fall.

“You know, you have always thought that Ismael was born prematurely but he wasn’t. Helena was two months pregnant before you two got married.“ Amah revealed
The first hammer blow had fallen.
 Jason gripped the table tight. He didn’t want to believe her but this woman in front of him looked like she knew what she was saying. She was insinuating that his wife had cheated on him. He didn’t want to believe this. He needed to know more.

“Are you saying Ishmael is not my son, Amah? Jason asked, his tone weak.

Meanwhile, Michael was thinking of his next move. He wanted money from Helena. He had a grip on Helena going way back and through a combination of blackmail and emotions, he had held her.

Their relationship all started when Jason stood Helena up at a pub due to his having a flat tire. Michael was the one who had caused the tire puncture. Just as he had done with his brother’s other relationship, he had been monitoring this one and was waiting for the perfect time to strike.

The relationship had encountered some difficulties due to Jason’s workload. They had agreed to this date to patch things up. Somehow Michael got to know and planned that the meeting wouldn’t hold. He wanted Helena to be vulnerable.

That night, he showed up at the pub like a good, caring guy and engaged Helena in a conversation. He persuaded her to move to another pub and kept her company. Helena with the idea that she was with her fiancée’s brother let her guard down and freely poured out her heart to him. He eventually got her very drunk.

Michael taking advantage of the moment, took her back to his house and slept with her. That was the night she broke the chastity promise she had made with her best friend Sophie. That same night her virginity was broken, Ismael was conceived.

One thing led to another and through a combination of emotional blackmail, sex and his charm, Helena continued in a relationship with Michael even though she was in love with Jason.
 Losing her virginity to Michael made her vulnerable to him.

She found herself under Michael’s spell to the point that whenever Michael asked her for anything including money she always granted his wishes. She didn’t know he had gotten a job. He made it look as though without the money he was getting from her, life would be difficult.

Conscious of the fact that she was cheating on him, she also feared having her husband find out the truth and thus losing him. The thought of losing Jason made her very jealous and insecure. She nagged him all the time and became very possessive.

Jason was totally clueless as to what was going on. He couldn’t understand what was driving his wife to behave as badly towards him as she was.

He and Helena had agreed that she should not work for a while until their son had grown to a particular age. To compensate for her not working, he had ensured that she lacked nothing and was well taken care of. Jason felt that it was most probably the frustration of staying at home that was eating her up.

Matters came to a head when he saw some inappropriate text messages on her phone and confronted her. He didn’t know then that the text messages had come from Michael. After the issues with the text messages, Helena started accusing him of cheating on her and made his life even more miserable.

Michael picked up his phone now to call Helena to ask her for more money.

Back at Sophie’s house, Helena was in the middle of her confessions.

“I couldn’t keep my part of the promise as we planned. I broke it with this guy who is also the father of my son. My husband doesn’t know that he is not my son’s father. The worse thing is, I’m still addicted to this guy in as much as I know that he is just using me.” Helena was recounting her ordeal.

She started weeping bitterly as she spoke with Sophie. All the emotions and pain of the last couple of years seemed to come to a head. She felt shame, pain and relief as she poured her heart out. It didn’t feel like they had been apart for such a long time. Sophie could feel her pain and agony. She had known Helena well and could tell she was regretful.

“Calm down my dear, we would work this out; I will talk to your husband we would pray about it and I know that God will take charge of this.” Sophie assured her.

“Sophie, I can’t live my life like this anymore, I want to end this and be the happy woman I used to be. Please call him now, let him come here and end this once and for all.” Helena said.

“Are you sure about this, Helena, do you really want to do this now?” Sophie asked her.

“Sophie, I really can’t wait any longer,” Helena confirmed.

Back at the restaurant, Amah was battling it out with Jason. As convincing as Amah sounded, Jason was refusing to believe the fact that he was not the father of Helena’s child.

Before Amah could reveal who the father of the child was, Sophie’s phone call interrupted their conversation.

Jason was quite relieved to see Sophie’s call. He had heard enough and wanted to get out of this meeting. The call gave him the perfect opportunity.

Sophie requested that Jason should come to her place immediately. Jason didn’t hesitate.

“Amah, can we continue this some other time, it’s too much for me to take in all at once. I have to go somewhere.” Jason said and immediately walked out on Amah.

In no time, Jason got to Sophie’s house. He walked into the sitting room and was shocked to see his wife seated on the couch, her face buried in her hands weeping.

“What is going on here?” Jason asked.

Before Sophie could answer him, the doorbell rang. Sophie wanted to ignore the bell but the person ringing was very insistent. Sophie excused herself so she could go check on who was at the door.

She opened the door and looked into Michael’s face.

“Good morning, you must be Helena’s husband, Jason” She said “I’m Amah, her friend, she has spoken so much about you” She continued.

Helena stood there speechless wondering what to say. Amah’s presence had caught her completely off guard. She fumbled and tried not to show her surprise. But she was indeed quite shaken.

“This is quite a surprise, you didn’t tell me your friend would be visiting today Michael said.

Helena knew she was vulnerable; She had no option than to play along with Amah. Amah had truly proven to be unpredictable and could do anything at this point. She had to have her wits around her lest amah spilled the beans.

“Oh I’m really sorry, she told me her visit will be a quick one, she won’t be here for long? Helena said.

“Oh Helena, have you forgotten our discussion? You asked me to speak with your husband. You asked that I discuss that my business proposal with him. Amah said jokingly with a light laugh.

“Oh my manners, why don’t you come in “Jason said and invited her in. Helena was on the verge of losing her mind. She had no idea what Amah was planning. Her presence made her very nervous.
Ismael was running late for school, their driver hadn’t yet showed up.

“Honey, why don’t you see Ismael off to school? Seems like the driver is running late.” Jason said to Helena.

Helena was now in a fix. She didn’t like the idea of leaving Amah alone with her husband. This definitely was turning into a nightmare.

“I wish I could help, but it’s rather unfortunate that my car broke down a few days ago, but don’t worry Helena, I will be here waiting for you. It would give me the opportunity to discuss the details of my business with your husband” Amah said looking very harmless.

Helena was really put on the spot. She had no option than to take Ismael to school. She couldn’t wait to come back home. She went off wondering if she would have a home to come back to.

Sophie spent the time in deep worry about Michael. She knew that Joe would have threatened him and she was quite concerned about how Joe handled seeing them kiss. It was apparent that something had transpired, as Michael hadn’t come back to her apartment after that scene.

Sophie decided to go surprise Michael at his apartment. Her thought was to spend the day there and then surprise him when he got back from work. She thought she would take the time to clean up the apartment and make him a lovely dinner.

She knew Michael very well and where he kept his keys when he wasn’t at home. She got there knowing that Michael was already at work. She looked beneath the doormat where he kept his keys and took them, opened the door and made herself comfortable.
After cleaning the house, Sophie felt a bit tired and thirsty so she went to the fridge and took a bottle of soda. She then went to his room to lie down a bit. As she was lying on the bed, her eyes came across a brown bottle with strange markings that seemed quite out of place in the bedroom.
Hmmmmmm she thought to herself “when did Michael start taking traditional medicine” she got curious and reached for the bottle. On reading the words on the bottle she realized that this was herbal medicine used for the termination of pregnancies.

She looked again and remembered that this particular brand had been involved in several controversies. It had come out that a number of ladies had died from using it and the drug was currently under a ban by the health authorities.

Sophie noticed that the bottle had been opened and only a quarter of the contents was left. Sophie got alarmed. “What was the bottle doing in Michael’s room, what was he doing with it? It obviously wasn’t him that had used it. Which girl had Michal impregnated?

Amah was enjoying Helena been away. She and Jason all to herself and she could do what she wanted. She was really cherishing the moment. She and Jason chatted about several things as Amah freely flirted with him. Amah was quite a charming and attractive girl and she knew how to turn on the charm when she wanted.

Finally Jason went “Amah tell me about this business idea of yours, let me see if it will be profitable “
“Oh yeah I almost forgot, I learnt you have a brother by name Michael, If I am correct? Amah asked.

“Yeah, He is my younger brother, any problem? Jason asked

“Well He was the one who talked me into bringing you on board” She said

“You mean Michael actually told you that? I see, what connection does he have in this business?” Jason asked his eyes now narrowed and his senses on the alert.

“Well he is the major shareholder of the business. Jason, I must be frank with you, you are sleeping with your legs outside your room” Amah began.

“I don’t understand you” Jason said looking very confused.

“Your brother has a son whom I think you should be more concerned about. I believe also that you know who the mother of his son is?” Amah said.

“Since when did Michael have a son that I don’t know about and who is the mother? Michael asked.

“She is right under nose, It’s your …………….” Amah said

The Trinity-Episode 14






Jason couldn’t believe himself. He didn’t realize how deeply he had come to like Sophie. How could it be that he would utter her name at such a crucial time

This was all so complicated. Just when he and his wife were getting back together he thought to himself. How would he get his wife to believe that there was nothing between him and Sophie or any other woman for that matter? It would just seem to confirm her suspicions that he had been cheating on her. Waooo, this was all so complicate now!
Helena jumped off immediately completely turned off from the passion. She wore her nighty and turned to him

“Jason, answer me please? Who is Sophie? She asked him again.

“Sorry dear, I am really sorry, it shouldn’t have come out like that. Trust me I am not cheating on you if that’s what you’re thinking” Jason tried explaining.

To Jason’s surprise, Helena was acting rather calm over this issue. That was quite unusual of her. By now she would have been screaming, shouting and yelling at him. She would even have either thrown him out of the house or dramatically moved out of the house herself.

There was something different about tonight. He couldn’t put his finger on it but Helena was behaving like a changed woman. She appeared quite concerned about the abrupt utterance. Jason felt she was really hurt and kept apologizing.

“I am not accusing you of cheating Jason, I know I have been distant lately. This “Sophie” must have become very special to you for you to mention her name” Helena said
Her statement softened Jason. He felt a need to come clean and honest over the whole Sophie matter.

“Let me be honest with you, Sophie is a special person like you rightly said but there is nothing going on between the two of us. I met her not long ago at the height of when we were having our issues. She listened to me and encouraged me to make it up with you. She is the key reason I came back home. I didn’t know she could have entered that deep in my subconscious to the point that I would mention her name at such a time as that. I am really sorry. I know how this feels, but I’m truly sorry,” Jason pleaded.

Helena took Jason by his hand. She then kissed his hand and looked into his eyes.

“I understand. it’s entirely my fault. I pushed you away and I am really sorry about that too.” said Helena.

“Come on, let’s get over this. Come to bed” She continued.

Was this a miracle or what? What was happening? Jason found it difficult to take it all in, considering that they were virtually at each other’s throats just a few days back. He jumped back into bed and decided to ride out his luck. There truly must be a God out there who listens to prayers.

Michael didn’t go to Sophie’s house that night. He wanted to keep his distance after his early morning confrontation and discussion with Joe. He valued his job much more than Sophie. Besides, he had Amah’s threats on his mind.

He went straight to his apartment and locked the door behind him. He already had gone through two encounters of unlocked doors and didn’t want to have a third.

Michael was battling it out in his mind whether Amah was going to be discreet about what happened at the hotel after all the money he had given to her. He knew he needed to do something to keep her mouth shut.

Sophie was still awake waiting for Michael to show up so she could go to sleep. After waiting for long she picked up the phone and gave him a call.

Sophie: “Michael where are you, it is getting late?

Michael: “Sorry I didn’t tell you, I can’t make it tonight, there is something you need to know. I will tell you in the morning”

Sophie: “It’s about Joe right?
He mumbled something and quickly ended the call.

A text message from an unknown number had come through while he was still on the phone with Sophie. As soon as he finished the call, opened and read the text message which went:

“I KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO NICKY. I WON’T LET IT HAPPEN TO SOPHIE”

Michael got so frightened and shaken up that he almost threw the phone on the floor.

Early the next morning, Jason’s house was awesomely peaceful and tranquil. Helena had gotten Breakfast ready for the family and they all sat together at the dining table to eat their breakfast as a family.

For a moment, everything was normal. Jason had smiles on his face throughout that morning as he spent time enjoying time with his family.

Suddenly the bell rang.

Jason looked at his time. Usually the only person to ring the bell at this time would be their driver who would usually appear to take his son Ismael to school. This was however a bit too early for the driver.

Jason put Ishmael’s backpack on him, and together with Helena, walked their son to the gate to meet the driver.

On getting to the gate, Jason was surprised to see a pleasant looking fine lady at his door. The driver was nowhere in sight. Helena’s breath however caught in her throat as she saw Amah standing at her gate looking as innocent as someone who wouldn’t hurt a fly.

The Trinity-Episode 4




Luckily, the driver had seen her on time and applied his brakes. By the time the car hit her, it was a very soft touch. She fell down more from shock than from the impact of the accident. She had no bruises on her neither did she feel any pains. The driver knowing very well he was at fault came down and helped her.

He was a gentleman and very courteous. He helped Sophie and insisted on taking her to the hospital for check up. Sophie initially refused because she felt she was fine. After they exchanged names, Jason, the driver was able to convince her and eventually took her to the hospital.

Jason was apparently well connected; Sophie breezed through the hospital formalities with ease even though the place was busy at that time. A number of the doctors and hospital staff knew him.

Jason pushed for Sophie to undergo an x-ray and proper check up. After all the checks, nothing serious was detected.

Jason insisted on taking Sophie wherever she was headed. On their way, Sophie drifted away, thinking of Michael and totally oblivious of the man driving by her side. Jason soon noticed this and tried to get her attention.
“Are you ok? Jason asked but Sophie didn’t hear him.

“Hello Madam” Jason called, tapping her shoulder.

Sophie came to herself, realizing that Jason had been trying to get her attention.

“Sorry, come again” Sophie said.

” You seem distracted, just wanted to know if you’re ok,” Jason asked.

“Yeah I am, I just have a couple of things on my mind, but I am ok” Sophie said.

“Ok then. I am really sorry for what happened earlier today, it’s entirely my fault. I had this family issue that I just couldn’t get off my mind. ” Jason said.

“Funny world, isn’t it? We all have seem to have personal problems eating us up,” Sophie said.

Jason offered to take her on a ride around town so that they could take the time to know each other. Sophie agreed to the ride and suggested they found somewhere they could sit and talk.

“Sounds perfect to me. At least, we can have a reason to smile at our worries.” Jason said.

They immediately struck a cord and talking was easy from them then on. They talked about life in general, made fun of things and laughed all through their conversation.

They totally forgot about all that was happening in their lives and just enjoyed the moment.

Meanwhile, Nicky was pissed off by the fact that Michael seemed to have completely ignored her. He refused to pick her calls or even return them.

Rumor had already gone out that Michael was in a relationship with one of his colleagues at work. Nicky had heard of it and honestly was not impressed.

Even though she had promised herself not to get intimately involved with Michael anymore she was not pleased with what she was hearing.

Out of anger, she stormed Michael’s office just about closing time to confront him. She apparently missed her sister by just a few minutes. She caught him alone and it became a heated argument as Michael denied responsibility for her pregnancy.

Unlike her quiet sister Sophie, Nicky could be quite vocal. She wasn’t one to take things lying low. The more they argued, the more the rage in her heart grew.

“Look Michael, you can mess around with Sophie but you can’t deny responsibility for your child. ” Nicky said.

Michael tried to drive her away from his office and it turned into a bit of a physical fight. As they struggled, Nicky suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She looked down and saw some blood running down her dress. Almost immediately, she felt a choking sensation and found herself gasping for air.
Michael soon noticed that she was no longer struggling with him and that she was fainting. He immediately borrowed the company car and rushed her to the hospital.
At the hospital, Nicky insisted that Michael should call her sister, Sophie. She wanted her by her side.
Michael called Sophie but she refused to answer his call. Sophie thought Michael had now come to his senses and was probably calling to apologize. After calling several times, he finally sent her a text that got her attention.
“Oh no! Jason, my sister was just rushed to the hospital.” Sophie told Jason. She called Michael to ask him what had happened
“I am really not sure,” said Michael. “When you get here, I am sure I can explain better”
He gave her the name of the hospital and promised to wait at the reception.
Sophie and Jason quickly rushed to the hospital together.

Michael was waiting at the reception. He was running up to her when he paused in shock as he saw a man beside her. He was not surprised that Sophie was with a different guy but this guy in question was his estranged elder brother.
