WOMB ON TRIAL
EPISODE 3:
I didn’t sleep after that. How could I? My own husband—my supposed protector—was conspiring against me. Each word from his phone call replayed in my mind like a cruel echo.
"She won’t suspect anything."
But I did. And now, I had to find out what they were planning before it was too late.
By the time Emeka drifted into a deep sleep, his phone was still beside him, unlocked. I hesitated. I had never invaded his privacy before, but this wasn’t about privacy. This was about survival.
Slowly, I reached for the phone and scrolled through his call logs. The last call had been with Mama. My fingers trembled as I clicked on their messages.
Mama: She’s taking too long. It’s time for the next step.
Emeka: I’ll talk to her, but we have to be careful. She’s already suspicious.
Mama: Then stop wasting time. The girl is ready. We can’t delay any longer.
I froze.
"The girl is ready?"
I scrolled up frantically, my breath hitching. Then, I saw it. A name I didn’t recognize—Chisom.
There were pictures. A beautiful young woman, smiling shyly, dressed in traditional attire. My stomach twisted.
"They had already chosen my replacement."
A wave of nausea hit me, and I barely made it to the bathroom before emptying my stomach. The realization crashed over me like a tidal wave—I was being erased.
Wiping my mouth, I gripped the sink, staring at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were red, my face pale. The woman looking back at me wasn’t the same Nkechi who had walked into this marriage full of hope.
"I can’t stay here."
But leaving wasn’t just about packing a bag and walking away. I knew my family would never support a divorce. And Emeka’s family? They wouldn’t let me leave quietly.
I had to be smart.
Taking one last look at my sleeping husband, I made a silent vow.
"You think I don’t suspect anything, Emeka? Watch me."
I was going to find out everything they were planning. And when I did, I would make sure I was the one who decided how this story ended.
