Part III. Henri Returns to Los Angeles
Harry
I didn't like the idea of Henri going to Nigeria with the Adeoyes, but I was overwhelmed by the opinions of the higher-ups in both businesses. As it seemed beneficial to have Henri go, I didn't object too strongly. However, as extension of her stay was followed by another extension, I began to really get angry and at the same time worried about what was happening in far-off Nigeria. Her phone calls became fewer and fewer although she was tending to spend more time on each one. I got the impression she was missing me, just not as much as I missed her. Once she was back, I planned on nixing any other significant travel plans for quite a while.
She did send me photos and narrative information about several houses. There were four the first week, including the Adeoye's. She sent another four the following week, again with excellent photos and notes. I became very busy working on a preliminary design based on not knowing what the land would be like. I was glad to get a significant amount of independence in creating the design.
The basic idea was three plus one levels. The three levels would include: the top level would be private, mostly bedrooms; the middle level would be the formal social areas, including the kitchen, and formal living and dining areas; the bottom level would be the game room. The fourth level would be an additional floor with garage and security support. Based on the lie of the land, the idea would be that this fourth level to be inserted into four possible places, top, bottom, or between any two of the other floors. The living areas, excluding the garage level, would total around five thousand square feet.
When after almost three weeks the three of them returned from Nigeria, my first order of business was to greet Henri and reclaim our marital relationship which I did the first night. The second agenda item was to over the preliminary design document with the Adeoyes. Both seemed very pleased with my analysis and with my preliminary design. Of course, the analysis was partly Henri's and was excellent, particularly considering that her expertise was not in architecture. The Adeoyes said that this would not only serve as a huge assist when looking for a property to build on but would also clarify their objectives on their current search for a temporary home.
After the second day, it seemed that Henri was spending most of her time with the Adeoyes. I believed that she spent most of each day showing them properties. The next few hours I feared she was probably in their hotel suite debriefing them on what they had seen but also enjoying sex with them. She tended to come home around seven or eight each night with a glow that I believed was post-sexual. She came home excited but not as energetic as I hoped. Saturday night she went to work in the late morning and didn't return until after nine pm. My hope had been that she had largely gotten that out of her system while she was in Africa. Apparently, there was still an attraction there, which translated into less intimate time with me.
Sunday afternoon we both decided that we needed to talk about our relationship going forward. She told me that she understood my concerns. She told me that she was going to be absolutely truthful with me and hoped that I would still want to stay with her when she had finished telling me some of the things that had happened while she was In Africa.
Her narrative began with her admitting that she had had numerous FMF threesomes with Bola and Bebi and enjoyed them very much. She told me about skinny dipping in the pool at the first house they visited, other than that of the Adeoyes. This had developed into a foursome with the homeowner, the Adeoyes and Henri. The same thing happened on the next day except that it was at two homes with two different homeowners.
The next day was Saturday, and she and Bebi participated in a faux slave action. The women actually became sex slaves for twenty-four hours. At that point, Bola had told her that he was charging money for the sexual encounters with the homeowners. For the four sexcapades, her share was over one hundred thousand dollars. The Adeoyes explained this business to her and in the next two weeks she made over eight hundred thousand dollars plus she participated in the auction an additional time.
She now had a bank account at the First Bank of Nigeria with the dollar equivalent value of over one million dollars. She was only reporting seventy-five thousand dollars of this to her employer but would have to pay Federal income tax on all of it, else she could never bring it home.
She wanted to know if I was going to divorce her. She would be willing to give me half of the million if that was what I wanted. She claimed she loved me. What she wanted to do is go back to Nigeria for three weeks. She figured she could make another million dollars in three weeks. Then she would have enough after-tax money for us to buy a larger house and start our family.
This was wild. I didn't really like the idea of her prostituting herself, but she seemed sincere about wanting to do it to make another million for us, and about wanting nothing more than to share it with me and make a good down payment on a permanent home in which we could raise our children. That sounded good but I had to accept all the fucking that she had done and was planning to do. I didn't like it because although I believed there was an extremely low chance of her getting caught, if was a real possibility. I think she should have a lot more informative about what was going on in Nigeria while it was going on. This was a hard decision. After she spent a total of six weeks as a whore, would I really want to be married to her?
I just couldn't conceive of having a whore be the mother of my children. It didn't look any better to have the mother of my children act like a whore. Was that a different way of looking at things? She was being a whore so that we could have the house that we wanted to raise our children in. Did that make it worthwhile? Did that justify it?
