Chapter 91 The Commissioner's Life Is A Mess

• He smiled and said, "I spoke to his mother and told her that her son has adviced me to sign for a marriage that is out of community of property. I asked her if she knows something about it. She told me that, I grew up with him and I spent more time with him than her. If he makes such a statement, it might mean that there is something he is protecting me from. She then stood up and told me to forgive her, she has tonnes of work to do. Now that I speak to you, I actually have an idea. I think I should go to her, she might give me the reasons why he said this. I remember that before he died, he hugged me and said to me, 'I did not think that you will have so much patience with her up until now. You are stronger than I thought.' Unfortunately, I was not able to ask him what he meant by that because he died after that. I could tell that he wanted to tell me more this time but he spoke too late. He spoke when his time to leave this earth had come. He did not manage to finish his sentence, he left me hanging. He left me with so many questions. The child's illness came at a time when I was thinking about all of this. A time when I was thinking about all the words he has spoken to me about this marriage. Even the day before the wedding, he still spoke in riddles. He asked if I was really sure about this girl. If I was sure that I will be able to withstand someone who will be sleeping with me every night and still lie to me."
• Elic laughed and said, "and yet you call yourself a police officer. This person kept on giving you clues over and over and you did not pick them up. People would hint to me how unfaithful Lisa was to me. I will not say that I ignored them. They always say that there is no smoke without fire. I know that people wouldn't call her a b***h if she wasn't. I have prolonged our wedding till now for this reason. I did not want to commit myself with someone that had such a reputation. Yes, I know that some people lie about you just because they don't love you. But I knew that it would be too impossible for everyone to say the same thing about her, if it was not true, even the ladies she spends time with. She used to complain and ask when will we tie the knot but I knew that a girl that pushes you into marriage is probably preventing you from finding out about some bad things about her before marriage. I knew that she was trying her best, for me to find out about this when I had already tied the knot with her. But I was way smarter than her. She may think that she was playing her cards well but I knew that something was not right which was why I delayed it all along. I stayed with her because I felt guilty for breaking her virginity. I felt guilty for making her pregnant. I did not know that I was not the one that made her pregnant. I divorced my wife because I wanted to take responsibility for what I had done to her. I started regretting about my decision the day my wife left. The day before she left, I asked her to sign divorce papers. We slept together and I discovered after she had left that she was a virgin."
• The commissioner was very shocked to hear this, he asked, "you mean all these years of being married to her. You never not even once touched her?"
