This isn't love, This is madness
A gun to his head and he'd still only be worried about how Alexa is doing
5 years ago
"You know its bad luck to see the bride
before the wedding" ola whined
"You
should know, this is like your what?" "Second wedding" he teased as he
moved in time to dodge Mark's punch
"Guy you dey craze" Mark chuckled "I
just want to go see if she's not infacy having wedding blues, I don't want her
to start rethinking her choice of marrying a man who was once married" he
explained
"I hear you" ola said thoughtfully and
nodding at him as he walked towards his car.
The
ride from the groom's hotel to the bride's was only 20 minutes, mark was about
coming out of his car when his gaze found Ibrahim's, he froze as he watched his
supposed wife to be riding another man, tears fell from his eyes unable to
explain his hurt, he tried opening the car again and this time he say a third
figure heading towards them, he watched the scene play out; of Alexa begging and
ibrahim picking up his phone and playing something that made him smile. He saw
everything but instead of being angry he was just hurt. He felt this was karma
rewarding him for everything he did to his ex-wife.

Present
time
"I hate the fact she's been avoiding me"
"like she's scared" Mark thought out loud,
"its like she's anxious and worse its always when I'm around" he
continued thoughtfully "like she's scared I'll find out something"
Turning on his MacBook, he clicked on backup
devices "I really don't want to spy on my wife but she leave me no choice"
he said as he went through her deleted text
Beep,
beep
Picking
up his phone, he tapped on it
Bro
have you refreshed your newline?
He
closed the MacBook to type a reply
Beep,
beep
his phone chimed again
Tune
in on any media update
Before
he could even pick up a remote

His
heart began to race even before he clicked on the file
News
headlines: Footage from Friday night as anonymous reveal shocking back story
He
flinged his phone as his mind made out 1 and 1 into 3; Ibrahim did record that night
and now the business media have a hold of it.
"Has Ibrahim been threatening her?" he asked
himself "is that why she broke my sim, has he tried reaching me?" he opened his
MacBook and scrolled through their deleted chats
"He is so dead" he promised as he got up
and headed out of his house

"Mark!!" Ola shouted from behind
"What?" he answered "How…" he wondered
"I
know you'd react this way. That's why I made sure I was close before I sent you
that" ola answered the question that lingered Mark's mind
"So what?" "you must be a dreamer if you think
I'd just sit and watch the recorded sex tape of my wife go viral" he said, his eyes
spitting fire "I'm so going to kill that bastard" he promised as he reached for
the keys in his pocket
"kill the bastard?" Ola asked "you knew already,
didn't you?" he said in disbelief "Wow" "Just wow" he was more amazed
than he was concerned "For how long?" he asked like a child who just found out he
was adopted
"The night it happened" Mark confirmed "Guy she's
my wife now and I love her and I won't let stupid people who can't afford an empire
to ruin the image she built this past 5 years" Mark snapped and motioned for
Ola to shift away from his car
Ola looked at him coldly, confusion and anger
running through his veins as he moved out of his way and watched him drive away
Beep,
beep
his phone chimed
"Fuck!"
he screamed "Fuck, fuck, fuck" he repeated as he tapped on the text
How
did it go? As expected?
He
clicked on the phone call icon instead
"Plan
failed, we'd need to cook something else" he said "otherwise I'm going to kill Alexa
myself"
