Jide knew that something was wrong, but he couldn’t figure out what exactly. Immediately they entered the car. Babe what’s wrong? Jide asked her immediately they entered the back seat. Is it not that båstãrd. He must not do anything to my son. Motunde let out a loud screamed in the car. It was as if she had been holding the scream for a Long time.
Who, who’s that? Jide asked. Motunde looked at him surprised. Like seriously? was he joking? He couldn’t even guess(She thought in her mind). But non of that was of an importance at that moment.

They soon arrived their house and went into their apartment. Let’s involve the police, Jide said again. That man is a mønster. He might húrt our baby. Motunde said. Just then her phone rang again. It is an unknown caller id. When she picked the call, It was Jake on the line.

After all this years Jake, After all this years?. Why come back now? You choosed my friend over me. Why are you disturbing my life now? Motunde said to him on the phone.
What I and your friend had was just a minor game, it was nothing serious. I wanted you to feel how it felt to be cheated on. Jake said.
