"Dad, Dave is cheating on me!" Nina dropped the bombshell, halting the conversation her dad was having on the phone. But she could really careless. She needed to get this off her chest and she needed to do it now.
Nina have been married to Dave for a little less than a year.
She met him at a conference she attended at Abuja with her boss.
What an eye candy he was with his dark skin tone, his full beard and his very red lips... Everything about him reeked of being one of the famous Yoruba demons but she really could not have been bothered at that point. All she could think about in that crowded conference room was her taking him to her hotel room and him having his wicked 'demonic' way with her.
At the end of the three days conference, Dave had finally spoken with her and contacts were exchanged...
Eight months later, they got married and everything was perfect... Yes! This was the life she had always envisioned for herself.. A beautiful career and a handsome man by her side. Life couldn't be any better...
Little did she know that life was about to spiral downwards....
Dave had stopped sleeping with her.. He had began spending late nights outside. He rarely picked her calls. He was less affectionate... She had a list of complaints and she could go on stating it for a whole day without exhausting the list....
She had spoken to her very good friend Lesly who had come to the conclusion that Dave was cheating...
"Cheating? You caught him cheating?" Her dad asked removing his glasses, as if that would allow him hear better, and sitting down on his favorite chair dark blue settee. Growing up, nobody was allowed to sit on that chair.. It was sacred. I haven't exactly caught him cheating. But I have a feeling that he is. I just know it. He's acting funny. He has been ....." Nina stared talking only to be cut short by her father.
"Nina dear. Go home and take a rest. You have always been paranoid. If you haven't caught him cheating, don't worry yourself yet"
And this was the reason, Nina sometimes hated talking to her father. He always thought she took things seriously and was too suspicious of everyone. It was times like this she missed her mum.
She left her family house and decided to visit her brother, Luke instead.
This was Dave's car parked in Luke's house. What could he possibly be looking for here. She thought seeing the beautiful shiny Rav 4 parked.
She greeted Musa on her way up. Being so close to her brother, she visited him often times and was really acquainted with his staffs so getting in was not an issue....
"GBAM"
That was the sound the dropping of her handbag made as it came in contact with the hard ground of her brother's room.
She stared directly to the scene she never thought she would walk into in a million years.
Luke was caught up in the heat of passion with no other person than her "beloved" husband.
The sound seemed to have brought them back to reality as they quickly untangled themselves with a speed that could rival that of lighting.
"It's not what you think!"
The words fell from their mouths simultaneously
And with that, she turned away, not looking back.
