As I share my story, my heart is heavy and my head is spinning. For five years, I have done nothing but pour all my love into Henry. I used to point to him and proudly call him my man. Now he has embarrassed me. Even though we live in different regions, we have been working hard to keep the relationship going. In fact, we are currently preparing for our marriage, which is due next June.

But all my plans have changed. The only thing on my mind now is how to hurt him for breaking my heart. That’s right, I found out that he got another woman pregnant. He tried to deny it but I have been talking to the lady.

It all began about two months ago when I travelled to visit him. During my stay, he placed his SIM card in my phone because he was having some issues with his own device. In the middle of the day, a call came through. He told me to answer it, so I picked up. The moment I said hello, a lady’s voice responded, “Babe…”

I thought she dialled the wrong number so I asked her, “Who are you trying to talk to?” She confidently said, “I am looking for Henry.” I was surprised another woman was calling my man babe but I didn’t make a fuss. I quietly handed the phone over to him. She asked him who I was, and instead of telling her the truth, he told her they should talk later.

After the call, I also asked him who the lady was. He shrugged and said, “She is just my business partner.” I didn’t want to jump to conclusions. I decided I would give him the benefit of the doubt. Even though I felt unsettled, I finished my visit and returned home.

Despite my understanding nature, I felt uneasy about that encounter. So I called the lady. I just wanted to talk to her and clear my suspicions once and for all. I was dumbfounded and shaking by the time our conversation ended.

According to her, she and Henry have been together for four years. This means their relationship began a year after ours. “I live in a town close to him so I see him more often than you do.” Just as I thought I had heard enough she added, “I am currently pregnant with his child. We are two months along.”

I felt my heart physically drop. I couldn’t understand how a man I have supported, trusted, and planned a future with could be living a whole parallel life. How can someone look you in the eye and lie so flawlessly? This same man can barely stand on his own financially.

I have practically been carrying half of his financial burdens, thinking we were building a foundation for marriage. I have taken loans to support his business. He always had excuses and stories whenever it was time to pay me back. But because I believed in his dreams and in our future, I never pressured him too much.

Little did I know I was investing in a man who was busy investing his emotions somewhere else.

The lady and I actually ended up having a calm conversation. Surprisingly, she also thought she was the only one in his life. She told me they have discussed getting married too. That means this man was preparing to marry both of us in his head.

The lady and I have agreed to surprise him because both of us deserve answers. But for me, beyond the emotional betrayal, my biggest headache now is my money. I need my money back. I worked hard for every pesewa I gave him. I took loans because I thought I was investing in our shared future.

I considered reporting him to the police, but the process will be long and stressful, and honestly, I don’t have the emotional strength right now for a legal battle that may drag on for months. I want something immediate—something that will shake him small. Something that will let him know he messed with the wrong woman.

I need ideas. I need revenge techniques. I don’t know how a human being can be this wicked—planning a future with two women, deceiving both of us, and taking money from me on top of all that.
