Must Read: Deceit (A Short Story) By Amponsem Akosua - Season 1 - Episode 12

My husband was giving me attitude. Ever since he came back from where ever he had gone to with the bruises he had on his face, he has chosen not to speak to me. So I decided to go ask him whatever he sees wrong that warrants his change in attitude towards me.

"honey you've been hostile towards me lately, if I've done anything to upset why can't you just tell me and I will apologize, we are one for goodness sake" I said holding unto his arms as I knelt before him.

He didn't even look at my side as he was whistling. I proceeded to telling him about my ordeal, how I lost my second pregnancy and was admitted to the hospital for 3weeks, how my mom and I called him without response that was when he showed a remorseful face and talked about how he got the bruises that got his arm and head bandaged, I felt sorry for him.

I noticed expenditures were higher than income in my company, I called on the manager to give me account of how things went in my absence but to my utmost surprise my husband was the one behind it according to my manager but I decided to let sleeping dogs lie.


I needed to know why Dr. Komolafe said I had an abortion, so I went to see him at his office. After so many pleasantries I decided to make him know the reason behind my visit to his office.

"I've been trying to process what you told me while I was on the hospital bed, but its been difficult for me to accept that I committed such a crime"

"actually Adeola, I knew it wasn't you, someone is behind all these and finding out who the person is the most important thing to do now"

I sighed "that means there is an enemy somewhere which I need to conquer" I bade him goodbye and went to my father's house, "I need to inform my mother" I thought.
