The interview

The reporter was so happy, she swallowed hard before opening her mouth she looked around and she was the only one around, she brought her recorder out and started.

" Mrs Dave, why did you come tonight?

" Because I was invited and please I am no longer Mrs Dave, you can call me Amanda, from what we have both witnessed today, Dave who use to be my husband is married and I have come to give him my support"

"You were never divorced ma, you were married to him legally but separated illegally, that is why I called you by your official name but if you want it changed don't you think you should also do it the right way?

Amanda was taken aback, she had thought that this reporter was an amateur but she had proven to be a professional, but why was she acting up earlier?

" Well I will take that under advisement, thank you"

"We're you given any form of compensation?

Amanda hadn't even thought of it, but she didn't think she wanted anything from Dave.

"I am not interested, I can take care of myself"

"Are you truely happy that your husband married his ex?

"If that would make him happy, then I. Happy"

"Is it true that the reason for your breakup initially was because you were unfaithful?

Amanda didn't know how to answer this question, she hadn't prepared for this part, she didn't even know that her quiet life was already public and people had made up stories about her, she didn't want to loose her stand and she decided that after this question she was going to leave and she wouldn't want to be followed, she didn't just think of her decision, she said it out loud and the reporter nodded.

"Well I have never been unfaithful to my husband, maybe I had been unfair to him and hadn't treated him well, I also failed in my role as his wife but I never cheated.

This right here?

She said pointing at her stomach.

"This is a mystery that I will solve, very soon and will bring those responsible to book"

Sonia who had been quiet all along was no longer comfortable, she didn't want to meet Amanda's eyes, she was scared she would expose herself just by looking, she felt naked, she didn't know what Amanda was planning but she wanted to get away from her as fast as possible.

True to the reporter's promise, she didn't ask any further questions, she thanked Amanda for giving her an opportunity to earn her promotion at work, she was happy she had gotten more than she needed, she immediately joined the vehicle that brought her before she would loose her report to thieves under the guise of reporters.

She had experienced many times when she had gone out with her senior reporter, she had seen people who got exclusive interviews and their reports were highjacked even before they could get to the studio to have it edited or filtered, she didn't want to take such chances, she told her driver to move, she had covered the wedding, she didn't need more, even if she did, she never can tell what might happen at the reception but she needed to get the recorder far away first, so they zoomed off.

Amanda, Joy and Sonia got to the house, Sonia opened the door, though Amanda had a spare she still allowed her lead the way, she was no longer the madam of the house, she was there as a visitor, she was a stranger in what used to be her home.

"I will only be a minute"

She said as she went up stairs to the room she shared with Dave on reaching there, she saw that it was different, she could hardly recognize the room, the room looked so odd with the colors, it looked childish, she didn't seem interested anyways so she immediately planted what Goodluck had given to her, the device was magnetic, it just clicked to the wall without stress, Goodluck had said with the device inside their room he could hear everything and sooner than later their secret would come out, he also said he had a plan to make it come out faster, bit he didn't share that one with her.

Sonia's room was beside theirs, while the visitor's room was down stairs so she immediately went into Sonia's room and did the same then she walked down the stairs slowly as it was more difficult for a pregnant woman to descend the stairs than ascend.

She saw Sonia with Joy both not looking nor talking with each other, she had one more room to enter but she didn't know what excuse to give. But right there the perfect excuse came into mind.

"I couldn't find what I was looking for, let me check in the visitor's room"

She said and made her way there immediately, without waiting for her reply. Sonia wasn't interested in what Amanda was looking for she was dead with guilt, she didn't even want to talk to her, her eyes were fixated on her phone, though Tracy had told her in all seriousness to make sure she follows Amanda to ensure she wasn't spreading charms, she didn't think Amanda was capable of anything diabolic, plus she wasn't bold enough to face her after the interview she had granted so she just stayed down and waited, she was avoiding having any form of conversation with her, but it was as though she couldn't avoid her for too long.

Amanda came out with a small box which was hers and she claimed that was what she had come for, when Tracy had thrown her things out of the house, she had forgotten to take her undies box which contained her unused undies,she wouldn't have bothered to get it if not that Goodluck needed her to get into the house again, she wasn't feeling sad like she had thought she would, she took a last look at the house as she walked towards the exit, Sonia stood up immediately to go out too but she was stopped by Amanda's question.

"Do you also think I cheated on your brother?
