My World Collapsed Overnight: How I Discovered My House Help Was Pregnant for My Husband”
“I Treated Her Like a Sister, Until She Told Me She Was Carrying My Husband’s Child”
Last night, my husband woke me up in the middle of the night. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, “I don’t want our house help again. Tomorrow when I come back from work, l will drop her off.”
I was shocked. This was so sudden. I asked him, “What happened? Has she done something wrong? Tell me, so that I will know if it’s something I can handle.”
But he just said, “No, I don’t want her again. That’s final.”
I couldn’t understand. This girl has been living with us for two years. She has been of great help to me and my children. My kids love her like a sister. I even sent her to learn tailoring so that her future will be bright.
But my husband was so serious. He said he would even bring another girl to replace her. I kept quiet, but deep inside me, I felt something was not right.
This morning, he told her to pack her things before he comes back from work. The poor girl just nodded her head.
When he left, I called her to sit down. I asked her gently,
“What happened between you and my husband? Tell me the truth. Did you offend him in any way?”
She said, “No ma, I didn’t do anything.”
I begged her, “Please, whatever it is, just tell me. Don’t be afraid. I love you like a sister. If you leave now, how will you continue your tailoring training? Please, I promise I will keep it a secret.”
That was when she broke down in tears. Crying, she told me the truth that shattered my heart. She said, “I am pregnant for your husband. He wants to take me to a far place he rented until I give birth. We even tried to remove it, but the doctor warned that I might lOse my womb. So, we decided to keep the baby.”At that moment, my whole world fell apart. My head was hot, my body shook, and tears rolled down my cheeks. I couldn’t believe it. The girl I took as my own sister, the girl I trusted in my home… pregnant for my husband.
The pain cut so deep. I didn’t even know how to breathe.
