Must Read: Deceit (A Short Story) By Amponsem Akosua - Season 1 - Episode 14

According to what my friend told me, John Adewale said he is a nigerian that lives abroad. They both met at the bank and their friendship started, no dating before he proposed to her. She was head over heels in love with him although the guy was good looking. Sooner than expected they were ready to get married, it was against her parents wish but she didn't care, even me I never supported the union but I couldn't just break her heart"

"this is getting more interesting" I said to her as I gesture at her to continue.

"my friend had several miscarriages that only God knew the cause. She entrusted her wealth into his hands but unfortunately he showed his true colour. One day we heard he had an accident and nothing was remained of him. She had no idea the damages he had caused not until after his death. She later realized her pregnancies wasn't really miscarried they were aborted by an unknown human being"


I saw some similarities in what I was facing and what that person had faced.

"what prompted you to discuss it with my friend?" I curiously asked her


"I saw bought roasted corn on my way from work one afternoon, I suddenly became interested in the paper that was used in wrapping the corn then I saw your wedding picture and the caption on it, your chief bridesmaid was in the picture too. I recognized John so well. My curiosity led me to showing the newspaper page to a colleague of mine at work, Luckily for me Mrs Jolayemi was his Coursemate back in the university and I got her number from the man"

"so you felt I needed to know? That's thoughtful of you, how do I meet that of friend of yours please?" I said with a smile.

"she isn't aware of this new development, I chose not to tell her because it could worsen her condition because ever since the worst happened she hasn't remain the same"

I thanked her and request to lodge her in an hotel that is if she wouldn't mind, there was more to this issue
