I Found Out Our Housemaid’s Son Is Actually My Husband’s First Child — He Got Her Pregnant Before We Married

I trusted him. I trusted her. And now, I can’t even look at my husband the same way.

Our housemaid, Blessing, had been with us for over a year. Quiet, obedient, and great with our two kids. She had a little boy of her own — about six years old — whom she kept in the village with her mother.

One day, I saw an old photo on her phone while she was playing music. It was her, pregnant, standing beside a much younger version of… my husband.

At first, I thought it was just a coincidence. But when I confronted her, she froze. Tears filled her eyes.

She confessed:

“Madam, please forgive me. Oga is the father of my son. He got me pregnant when I was 19. I didn’t want to cause problems, so I stayed away.”

I was shaking.

My husband couldn’t deny it. He said it happened before he met me, that it was a mistake, and she had refused to tell him about the child. But how do I process the fact that the boy my housemaid calls “her son” is actually my husband’s first child?

Worse, he’s been helping pay her school fees quietly behind my back.

Now I don’t know who to be angry at — the maid who entered my home with secrets… or the husband who allowed me to live under the same roof with his past.
