This is my life story: I am not a free woman. I’m just a wife who adores my husband and does not want to lose him. Even though I occasionally feel terrible, I did what I needed to do to save my marriage. It was difficult, but I slept with my driver to give my husband a child, but God blessed me with twins, a boy and a girl.

Philip and I were married for eight years. We didn’t have a child. Worst of all, I never got pregnant for even a day. His mother became so irritated that she began breathing down my neck, leaving me with no breathing space. She came in with us and made my life completely intolerable — in my matrimonial home.

Because she must insult me, I am unable to drink water and drop the cup. She eventually stopped eating my meals since, in her opinion, I should be feeding my children, not her, for them to grow well and strong.

Monica, if you have children, you must feed them all of these foods for them to grow healthy and strong. I’m getting old and don’t require all of this crap you call food. She was always shouting, “Take them away and give me grandchildren!”

I could still hear her insults in my head after she had left, so I decided to take a risk and seduce and sleep with our driver.

My mother-in-law had ceased talking to me before that, but now she only speaks to me when she wants to insult me and remind me of how insignificant I was as a woman. Philip and I are so in love that despite his mother’s best efforts to persuade me to leave him, he stood by me.

We saw a variety of professionals, who all gave us the green light in terms of our health. I’ve gone to churches, held vigils, and even fasted for days in the hopes of becoming pregnant so that my mother-in-law would stop humiliating me, but I’ve been unable to conceive. I eventually stopped leaving my room, since it was clear that my mother-in-law had vowed to drive me out of her son’s house.

Because I was afraid of his mother confronting me, I mostly kept in my room and cried, prayed, assumed, and then fell asleep. To make matters worse, she dismissed the housekeeper, claiming, “You don’t need any house help because you don’t have any children to look after.” Stop spending my son’s hard-earned money and take care of your house yourself.”

Even when I heard her voice from afar, I was afraid because it was just the three of us living at home. It pains me to say this, but my husband generally begs me to leave the room, which makes him very unhappy, especially when I refuse because I want to avoid facing his mother. Philip literally threw her out of the house when her problems became too much for him to bear, only to make me feel safe and secure in my own home.

Oliver, the driver, is a late-twenties young man. He is a Mechanical Engineering graduate who chose to become a driver because he could not find a well paying job. I promised to find him a nice job if he just slept with me once, but I never explained why. Oliver, on the other hand, mistook me for someone who wanted to cheat on my husband with him. Although sleeping with another man was not easy, I scheduled it during my ovulation to get pregnant. I understood I was betraying my husband, but I saw it as a necessary sacrifice.

I found out I was pregnant after a month. So, as promised, I found Oliver a work at a friend’s firm, where he began to earn a high salary. Philip was delighted when I told him I was pregnant.

“Sweetheart, our prayers have finally been answered by God. “I’m expecting a child,” I confessed.

He informed his mother when I was five months pregnant, and she returned to the house right away. She treated me like a baby and looked after me well. My mother-in-law pushed for a scan, something I never wanted to do. I found out I was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, when I finally had the scan.

My mother-in-law and husband were overjoyed, and I was overjoyed as well. “Thank you, God,” I grumbled, “for repaying me with a set of twins after eight years of barrenness.” The daughter was sick for a while after the twins were delivered. After multiple treatments, she took a long time to fully heal, which alarmed me.

I expected Philip to question me, so I wished for the ground to open up and swallow me up. To my surprise, he did not. “Sweetheart, let’s go home,” he simply said. We’ve had a difficult day, and both you and my babies need to rest.”

Three months later, he grabbed my hand and urged, “Monica, don’t be afraid.” I’m not interested in knowing who the twins’ father is. I know you tried everything you could to rescue our marriage, and I am incredibly proud of you. Likewise, I swear I’ll always adore you and my children. Not only that, but I swear to keep this between us a secret. Sweetheart, I adore you. I’m sure we’ll have our kids someday.”

As he brushed my tears away with his hands, I sobbed. I know what I did was wrong, but all that matters is that my mother-in-law is very pleased with me. Although everyone appears to be happy, I am ashamed that I manipulated an innocent man to attain my goal. But before you pass judgment on me, put yourself in my situation and consider what you would do if it were you.
