If you haven’t read the first part of this story, here’s the link. Kindly read it before starting this one.

When you see a story that is yours, you just know it. It doesn’t matter if the details have been altered to protect the identity of the person who sent it. Or if the sequence of events was changed so people who know you wouldn’t know it’s you. There are certain parts of the story that have to remain intact for the message to still hold. Those are the fragments I pieced together in the story Ofori sent. The core elements of the story gave it away. 

First of all, I want to state that I have read the comments. Some people said I slept with Caleb. I assure you that nothing of that nature happened. As I write this, I can beat my chest and say that for the past two years, since I have been with Ofori, no man has touched me sexually, let alone seen me naked. I am not that kind of girl. 

When I love a man, he becomes my world. I don’t look at any other man. It is for this reason that I don’t jump into relationships anyhow. I like to take my time to be sure that the person I am giving my all to, checks my boxes. 

Just as everyone has a list of priorities they look out for in a potential partner, I also have a list. And money is not on it. That brings me to my next point. Some of the comments said Caleb probably has more money than Ofori. Yes, that’s true. But I rejected him all those years because he didn’t have what I was looking for in a life partner. It’s never about money for me. 

When I met Ofori it was different. Apart from the incredible chemistry that sizzled between us, he ticked my boxes. I was sure in my heart that he was the one for me. If I was not convinced that I was utterly in love with him, I wouldn’t have been in the relationship for two years. 

Now, let me talk about the night I attended the dinner with Caleb. In Ofori’s story, it was stated that I had yet to attend the event. Well, I already attended the event before he brought the story here to be published. And I would like to clarify how things unfolded. 

Ofori and I have an open line of communication in our relationship. We tell each other everything. That’s how he knew about Caleb in the first place. Although Caleb and I kept in touch throughout his marriage and even after his divorce, the night of the dinner was the first time I saw him in six years. 

Before I attended the event I told Caleb about it. “What time will they start?” He asked. I told him 6:00 PM. He asked again, “And what time will they close?” I answered, “We should end by 10:00 PM. That should give me enough time to get home before it gets too late.” He said he didn’t have a problem with it. 

Instead of 6, the dinner started after 9:00 PM. Because of Caleb’s status, we were seated at a table that had a lot of eyes on us. It would have been some way for us to get up just when the event began. So we sat there till the event ended. This was somewhere after 1:00 AM. 

I wasn’t the only one who attended the event with Caleb. His best friend and his wife also came along. Unfortunately, they didn’t come with a car. So if we were all supposed to go home that night, Caleb would have gone to drop me off and then dropped off his couple-friends. His neighbourhood is quite unsafe so it wasn’t ideal for him to do that. 

We all agreed that the best thing to do was to sleep at Caleb’s house. I, Caleb’s best friend, and his best friend’s wife; all three of us including Caleb spent the night at his place. 

The next morning when Ofori called me, I was yet to leave. I could have pretended I was at home if I was guilty of something. However, my conscience was so clean that I didn’t stop to think how it would look. I was the one who told him, “The party closed later than expected so I spent the night at Caleb’s place.” He thought it was a joke at first. I let him understand I was speaking the truth.

When he expressed his displeasure, I didn’t argue with him or call him names. Rather, I assured him that we were in a group. Still, he said he wasn’t happy with what happened. Calmly, I told him; “You are right to be upset. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t be happy to know my partner spent a night in the house of someone who expressed interest in them. I am sorry that circumstances led me here. I promise it won’t happen again.”

I don’t know what else I am supposed to do. I know for the life of me that nothing physical happened between me and Caleb that night. A part of me held on to the hope that Ofori believed me. That part died when I saw that he brought the story here for people who don’t even know me or the details of that night to judge me harshly and insult me.

I am so sad that this issue which could have been resolved between us is now out here for everyone to see. He hasn’t spoken to me since I returned from the party. I have called and texted him but I have received no response.  

So I am here wondering if he is already looking for the opportunity to leave me, and he is using the opinions of strangers on the internet to do it. Whatever it is, I am here to share my side of the story. He may not believe it. The readers may not believe me. That’s fine with me. In the end, I have said my truth.
