The Agony Of Beauty - Episode 11
By now, Badmus could not say anything, he kept staring at the rug on the floor of the living room. There was a little moment of silence which had the soft cries of Aunty Tope at the background.
Pastor's wife was the first to speak. 'Bro Badmus, you are a disgrace to manhood and to the church. As devoted as you are to God's service, how can one know that you are this evil?

'Okay sir, you are welcome and Tope please take it easy on yourself because of your condition,' the doctor advised and took her leave.
Pastor looked at Badmus and shook his head. 'I am ashamed of you, 'Wolf in human skin,' that is what you are. I do not have much to say to you. Sister Tope, how I wish you prayed very well and sought God's face earnestly before you accepted to marry this man, God would have shown you his true personality. You would not have become a victim in his net. Well, the past is gone, please take it easy because of your condition like the Doctor rightly said.
Your baby needs you to be healthy at this point in time.' Please take heart, may the Lord console you. As for you Beauty, from now henceforth, you will stay with us till you get through with your University education.
