Someone Somewhere

Office Clerk

I have realised even before now that love is not enough in whatever relationship you find yourself. A lot of things come with love, but yeah, you need a lot more other things to get through some crossroads.

I love my husband and I love my job; these are the most important thing in my life.

Felix, my boss, is one man everyone loves to be around as he makes work easier for his workers. He’d be last person to leave the office building, he’d be the one to carry a lot of burden. When a worker approaches and beg for a leave, he quickly grants it because he understands how hard working his employees are, and taking a day or a week off won’t crumble the company. He once told us that the most important things in life are not in the office.

All of his workers speak good of him, even me. My husband likes him, my husband sister who’s living with us while she searches for a job likes him as well. As a matter of fact, when it was his birthday, each worker brought a family member to help celebrate Mr Felix.

One Tuesday night of December 5th 2009, Felix who stayed at the office alone made advances at me whom he asked to stay back.

Let me use this opportunity to tell you one thing you must understand: men think with the head (mind), they try to be descent at heart and in whatever they do, but you see that sexual emotion, it is a different thing in them that possibly takes control of any man. Most men try to be descent enough, but it is so difficult, and I repeat, it is so difficult for a man to fall in love with a woman, be sexually aroused and still keep from committing the adultery.

He had his way with me ones and it never ended till this very minute. He is married I am married, but Felix cheats on his wife with only one woman, me.

I have tried to end this but after he’d threatened to sack me, he also made me huge monetary promises that I’d benefit if I we continued our secrete affair.

I can assure you I really wanted this to end, but since I started seeing him, and only him, my financial life has not been the same.

This is a descent man everyone knows and I, myself, have been a faithful wife for a very long time, but I couldn’t but keep up this till now.

It is a huge sin against God and my husband, but we live with this everyday, and the reason it lasted this long was because Felix’s well established personality has blinded everyone from seeing what skeleton might be in his cupboard.
