Cape Town, South Africa.

THREE DAYS LATER

?Haira Pov?

Ambrose left the house, he doesn't even know where he was going, he kept beating around the bush anytime I demanded to know his destination. According to him he just met a new business partner and he's busy trying to get some things done.

Since I got married to him, I know of every file, every transaction and every business partner of his. When and how he suddenly met a business partner on a tour trip is what i am still baffled about.

Ambrose would leave the house every morning and return late at night. This have been going on for the last three days now. I don't know if he has a plan though but i really think he do. How would he be comfortable leaving me with his friend? We haven't seen anywhere in Cape Town and he's not even buying the idea of using an hotel. First he suggested that we port to an hotel and suddenly, he's no longer interested.

I have tried to maintain peace with Donatus even in the absence of Ambrose.

I heard a slight knock on the door and I already knew who it was.

"You should be resting, what do you even want from me?" I yelled at him once the door flung open.

"I don't know, there's something that attracts me to you" he said yawning, it was time for bed already but I wouldn't sleep until my husband returns from his suspicious outing.

"What happen to the South African babes? They aren't cute?" I asked standing hands akimbo and blocking him from entering the room.

"Haira, I miss us" He touched my face and I yanked his hand off.

"I would curse you with my nudity if you don't let me go. I am married to your friend" I yell holding my head in confusion.

"Ain't you still convinced that I love you? After the beating and that hot water splash that I and you know was not an accident, I still cant do without having a thirst for you. I wouldn't have you forever, it's just for the few days you would spend here, please" He pushed me in and slammed the door behind. I panicked, I look around for an object to defend myself.

"Don't try anything stupid, let's enjoy every moment" He grinned limping towards me while I took few steps backward.

"You would stop when your back hits the wall" He grinned again taking a brief stop and throwing his two hands behind him. I jumped on the bed and was about rolling on the other side of the room when he grabbed my legs and parted it.

"Over my dead body would you have me again you beast!" I cried kicking him as hard as I can.

Thank God for jeans trouser, he had that to struggle with.
I was beneath him and fighting as hard as I can, I got a chance of turning him over and I dash out of the room.

"You? Haira you?" He limped down the stairs as I ran ahead of him.

"If you truly love me, why didn't you marry me? You left me for years, over eight years and now you want to have my husband's right?" We were in the sitting room already, I ran and he followed. he locked the main door and I had no where to run to aside my room.

The limping idiot caught up with me before I could bolt the door. He bolted the door, locked it with it key and pocketed the key.

"We are back here, let's do this fast" He pushed me into bed and i slapped him hard across the face.

My husband had drank a bottle of wine the night before, the empty bottle sat at the corner of the room and i quickly rushed for it.
By the time he was done holding his face, I already stood close to the door ready to scatter his head if he came closer.

"The key?" I asked as I threatened to pull out his brain if he did anything funny.

"No sex, no key" He grinned not feeling moved by my threat.

"You took me twice in one night and you aren't even sorry, you slept with me without protection under my husband's nose. You are mad Donatus! " I cried trying to wipe off the cloud of tears that tried blunting my views.

"Yes I am madly in love with you, you think you are strong? I only gave you the opportunity to feel like some kind of super woman. I would have beaten you to death the other day if I wanted to" He stood up from the bed and walked towards me. I held the bottle firmly and got ready to smash his head. I would elope with my husband if he dies, who cares?

"You took your friend's right, thief! I can't allow you steal from Ambrose, i haven't even had the courage to tell him what you did few days back and you are here trying to take me to bed again? Come, move closer and I would send you crashing" I said beckoning on him to move closer, I am killing him tonight.
He took bold step towards me and I was about hitting the bottle on the wall when his phone beeped.

"I would be there" he said into the phone before ending it.

"That husband of yours is a wizard, he's waiting at the door and you know what? I just have to spare you tonight" He grinned inserting the key into it hole and turning it to the left. He unbolt the door taking few looks behind him to see the scorn I wore.

"Be a good girl, shut your mouth up or else, i would personally get him a new wife when he divorces you" he grinned before dashing out of the room.

I quickly put my self together and returned the room to it normal settings.

?Ambrose POV?

Whatever it's between them, I should be lucky enough to lay my hands on them today. I left Haira home and gave her some canard. i know no one here but I had to leave them both to do their thing, it was just a matter of few hours to get the truth out. I am so tired of "Ask Donatus" and Donatus telling me to ask Haira.

I had my own plans, I studied my wife and found out that it could be hard getting her to talk if she doesn't want to. I started leaving the house every morning and I saw places alone. The last three days on the street of Cape Town without my wife had been really boring and upsetting. I just needed to find out, what exactly are those two hiding.

Getting to the house, I found the main door locked. it was unusual, I smelt a rat. my heart raced knowing fully well Haira would go no where without me especially in a strange land. I quickly called Donatus and he confirmed to me he was inside the house.

Inside a locked house with a married woman? I fear what i detest.

I waited patiently for the door to swing open and I went straight to our room. she was listening to music and laid quietly on the bed. Was this really where she has been all day? why was the door even locked?

"Come here" She opened her arm still laying on the bed. I ran into it pressing her back to the soft bed.

"I miss you" I sincerely told her shutting my eyes and inhaling her scent.

"Me too, I miss you so much" She turned my back to the bed and kissed me deeply.

"Let me get dinner set, you came back so late, Donatus ate though but you know I wouldn't do anything without you" She hot out of bed and my eyes followed her shaky butt.

?Haira Pov ?

I don't know if he's cursed, immediately I opened the door, I saw him standing close to the wall, he was eavesdropping on our discussion.

"Are you cursed?" I yelled forgetting that Ambrose was inside the room.

"Baby you said something?" Ambrose called from inside the room and i replied with a No with the coolest voice ever.

I pushed Donatus off and went to serve dinner. When the table was set, i returned to the room to get him and I saw him with a camera, he seems to give all his attention to whatever he was seeing on the camera as he didn't say a word to everything I was saying.

"Treasure now, give me attention, what's so important that you are viewing sef" I asked feeling jealous. how can an ordinary camera take so much of his attention.

"You don't mind watching?" He asked with a calm voice, he gave me a quick glance and I climb up the bed. Throwing my head on his shoulder, I peeped at the camera he held in place for us to watch from.

Behold, everything that happened in the room while he was away was recorded there. I am dead.

************ **********
Lagos Nigeria.

?Hanna Pov ?

@Bella asoebi

"I don't like this color jare, Bella now, I thought you had something different "I pushed the ash "ofi" away from me.

I have roamed the city of Lagos looking for the best of the best asoebi and ofi for my upcoming introduction ceremony. My dad had written a cheque of five million naira for Kay two days back and he's so sure he wants to marry me.

Yesterday, August 13th was concluded and sealed to be my introduction Saturday. I have contacted cakes by moyin for my introduction cake, I also promise to order my wedding cake from her if she did a wonderful job this time.

"Haha, madam don't worry, Bella never disappoints, wait now" Bella, a fair slender lady said as she went into her store and returned with four different samples.

"We would even sew this one here for you free oo that's if you order for this" She said smiling as she stretched the clothes for me to take a better look. one was a navy blue while the order is an orange. She showed me pictures of their dresses being rocked by models and actresses.

I love what I was seeing but I wasn't pleased with any of the designs available.

"Come back next week then, you would love what your eyes would behold" She promised and I left.

I have vowed to have an elaborate wedding, I intended inviting Sunny Ade for my engagement then one of the numerous hip pop singers for the real wedding. I know Haira would invite her celebrity friends and my father's politician friends would be present too. I couldn't stop smiling when I remember I was getting married for real. I trust my mom, she's bombing the place with her hot Lagos mamas.

Now, I need sexy bridal trains and i have to start attending church frequently before this pastors would refuse to bless our union.

In the last few hours, I have been to Ankara palace, Wedding palava and sweet Iro just to get something special for this introduction. All of them had nothing close to my taste so i landed at Bella's place.

I was so famished and I decided to stop by at a restaurant, I was about opening the tinted restaurant door when someone did from inside. I collided with Kay, he was holding the hand of a fair flashy lady. The bright smile he wore quickly shrink immediately he sighted me.

"Is this what you do with money?" I barked dragging him out of the way.

"I can explain, it's not what you think" He pleaded trying to get my hand off his shirt.

The lady hissed and walked out on us leaving I and Kay to sort ourselves out. I went weird, I created a scene and started screaming loud.

"Hanna listen to me first before concluding" He pleaded but I wouldn't listen.
