Hushed Echoes

Carolyn was very confident that her next move would yeild a positive result. This confidence is a booster against the fact that she had been beaten once, and therefore had become twice shy. To prevent her from becoming thrice shy, she tried to ensure that when next she made a move, he would stick together for as long as he remained in that house.

She thought in her mind that if she tried the gimmicks and marco still remained obstinate, then she would do it and damn the consequences.

Nobody could fill her and she was not ready to be a fool for anybody. The feeling she had for him was for both of them to enjoy.

She was even the one at the receiving end and as such, any further attempt to resist her would be highly regretted by him. She felt she had never cheated on her husband and that was the first time she was going to try it.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

And it would definitely be the last time too, because after marco, there would be no other person to engage her fancy, so it was a matter of now or never.

Marco coughed the second time, she tiptoed her way from the blind, and waited to see if he was going to stand up or continue sleeping, she waited patiently for two more minutes and when she did not hear any movement , she concluded that he had fallen asleep again.

Again, she became confident to open the blind to look at him for the last time before she retire to bed.

When she peeped she discovered that he had removed his shirt , there by making it possible for her to see his hairy muscular chest, Carolyn stood there for a long time admiring him with wild fantasies in her head, she could have stayed longer than that were it not for her legs that were beginning to sag. She decided to call it a day as she tiptoed back to the bed lay there for some time before she fell asleep.

His joy knew no bound when he got the letter, little wonder then that he kept opening the letter and reading it over and over again every two minutes interval, as if trying to cram the content word for word.

Each time he read it, he became overwhelmed with joy and when he had closed it, his face would shine, with a delightful smile playing on his lips.

Carolyn’s intrusion into his life had not only caused him severe heart rending agony, it had shattered his self confidence as a man.

Ever since she started this shameless antics he had been behaving like an imbecile, at times he would be sitting down and his mouth would begin to quiver.

Beside he could be alone and all of a sudden he would be answering “Yes! Yes!” without anybody calling his name. All these were due to some psychological trauma he was going through because of Carolyn for two weeks now, It was one of such effect he had when he saw the postmaster.

He noticed the postmaster approaching him, so by the time he became aware the postmaster was already standing in front of him, he became frightened and took to his heels, the postmaster was greatly amazed and had to call him back.

“I came here to drop a letter, Iam not an armed robber, this is not a gun but a letter, ” said the postmaster.
