''Honey''

Mercy whispered to her Husband .

''yes, sweet heart''

Barrister Felix replied Barely five minutes later.

''you have been staring at the ceiling for quite few hours now. Why can't you sleep?'' Mercy inquired as she played with her hand on her Husband's chest. ''nothing dear''

''oh come on, you can't just tell me nothing''

she protested . ''each time I wake up, I see you sitting up and thinking. Please my husband, what is wrong?''

Her hand traveled from his chest to his chin. felix looked at her with consternation written apparently on it but his reply remained unequivocal. ''sweet heart'' she called.

''yes, honey''

he replied ''my love'' ''yes, honey'' ''my happiness''

''yes, honey'' 

"my all and all''

''yes, honey''

''did you really love me?''

''of course I do''

he gave a spontaneous reply.

"are you sure?''

''yes of course' 'do you trust me?''

''yes nah. Where is all these coming from?''

he inquired being startled at her mode of question

. ''your attitude shows you don't trust me.'' she pinpointted.

''come on. I trust you.''

''if you said you love and trust me, why not spill it out. What is it that is bothering you. I know just like you may think. I can't be of help but the both of us are one. Permit me to share in my Husband's sorrow. I can't go about being happy while my husband is sad.''

she pleaded wholeheartedly. Just like she observed lately. Her husband has been putting on sad expression and each time she approach him of the matter. He says its nothing. She was really determined to get out the truth from him that very night.

''you are my other half and My help mate mercy. So therefore You are as important as I am . I can never predict you are unuseful no matter what the case may be. I don't know where you are getting this from''

Felix reprimanded being slightly offended.

''Can you blame me for feeling that way ? You are hiding your problems from me and that shows either that you don't trust me or you don't consider me useful.''

she elaborated. He drew her to his chest and Hugged her. '' you got me at this point. Please don't feel that way. I love and trust you. I cherish you with all my life.'' He reassured. ''then tell me what is bothering you''

she squeezed herself out of the Hug and positioned herself in such a way that their face were inches away from each other.

''There is a big snake on the thatch roof which you need not to know about.'' felix said.

''come on. ?''

Mercy impelled being highly inquisitive. ''frank is Back'' felix dropped and her demeanor changed instantly.

''i know this will break you down that's why I don't want you to have a knowledge of it.''

he said after taking note of her countenance. ''come on I won't break. Or have i?''

she said trying to sound as steady as possible.

''so what's the deal if he is Back?.'' she pressed further.

''my sister is bethroted to him but she doesn't love him.''

''we have the devil right at the front of our house''

mercy expounded.

''i am really feeling for my sister. Just today, she called me and was crying bitterly although the call. She told me how my Dad in collaboration with Frank Morgan embarrassed Harry and his Family members who came to seek for her hand in marriage. The one that Baffled me most is that they went as far as assaulting thing by giving their vehicle a flat tyre and pouring on they sarchet upon sarchet of water''

''this is pure wickedness!. It is just to let you feel an iota of what I went through in his hands.''

Mercy explicated.

''So what are we to do now?''

she asked. ''i don't know for now. And I certainly don't want you getting involved''

Felix asserted on a serious note. For several minutes, none said a word to the other. They were certainly lost in thought until she came up with an idea.

''what if we encourage your sister and his man to go for court marriage? You and I will stand as a witness for them . In that case , she won't have to be subjected to another marriage.''

''wow, you have a nice idea but I told you I don't want you being involved. That man might set his eyes on you and you knows what that means.?''

''come on, its not as if they are going to blow trumpet about the court marriage . It should be in clandestine so he won't get to see me.'' With the derisive way felix looked at his wife, it showed that he bought the idea so well. He thanked her and then made a mental note to call his sister when it is morning.

*********

Harry remained as sad as ever. His family are so mad at him. They even gave him their own part of restriction. He was blatantly warned by every one to stay clear from Mirabell. They made it point clear for him that they are never going to accept any one from such a rude and aggressive family. They will certainly kick at it with all their might if ever he should proceed stubbornly to be with her. And that they won't intervene in what so ever her parents should decide against him. This broke him down totally that he has to go to work with a swollen red eyes. Kalista saw it as an opportunity to strike and so utilized the opportunity to the last for her selfish benefit. She dialed Owen's Number and told him what to do. They are at the verge of accomplishing their goals. Owen smiled sheepishly at himself following his conviction that Mirabell will be his and his alone soon. with that, he picked up his phone to dial Her number.

*********

Mirabell drank from her cup of water as she dialed Harry's number for the hundredth time but it wasn't going through. Her brother has called her and presented to her the idea of court Marriage of which she found so impressing. She has been making effort to reach Harry so as to tell him about the plan and to know his stand in it. Another wave of worry and plaintivity blew on her. ''what could be wrong? Why is he not picking his calls? Is he angry with me ?'' she asked her curious mind with out laying hands on a suitable answer. Shortly, a call came in from Owen. She quickly busied the line. her aims now is to cut off all threats to her relationship with Harry and owen will perpetually remain one. His call came in the third time and she still busied it. Then finally , he sent a message that increased her paranoia.

MAKE SURE TO PAY YOUR SO CALLED BOY FRIEND A SURPRISE VISIT TO NIGHT.

She read that out to her utmost fear.

''what is happening? What could be wrong? ''

another series of questions began to emerge from her curious mind one after the other and the only way to clear her head and mind was to see Harry. She needs to Visit To know how he is faring and to discuss face to face the issue on ground with him. After all, she is missing him terribly. Nothing helped to steady her and made her comfortable more than being engaged with him in a hug. With all the passion boggling inside her , she did not wait for work hours to end before leaving the office. she went home and changed her outfit and then headed straight to Harry's apartment unknown that Owen followed behind. the main entrance was open so she didn't have have to Knoke. On entering, she saw a stiletto dropped carelessly on the floor. She shook her head as she proceeded further into the room. Her eyes caught a female dress dropped on the sofa. With this,she became anxious and her heart began to beat faster . She listened attentively to hear a feminine voice saying something she didn't really comprehend.

''God don't allow this to be what I am thinking. Please father, Don't allow this to be what I am thinking.''

she muttered to herself and then encouraged herself to know what is happening behind that closed door. She berged into the room to see a lady standing naked at an angle of the room...

Read " The Future Husband " by the same author ( Tony Presh )

. She observed it was the same lady Harry was Kissing in the picture Owen showed her some time ago in his phone. Then lying on the bed was harry who was putting on only a boxer. Her eyes grew wide in disappointment as her heart burst and scattered into pieces. Fresh and hot Tears found their way from her eyes down her cheeks and her whole body felt so heavy as if she was paralysed.
