A man in love is as stupid as a goat
I don't know how else to explain betrayal just take a look at what Mark has done
4 years ago
"Guy are you on something?" "Are you jonzed?" Ola asked, worry plastered on his face, "This is the third share you're putting Alexa as the beneficiary" he continued "something you never even think of doing in your first marriage"
Mark deliberately dived into the pool, floating above the water with a smile, having no care whatsoever of the world
"Mark!" Ola shouted, anger laced his tone
"You keep forgetting she's my wife" He fired back
"So me being your best friend your best friend doesn't count?" Ola asked, flames filling his words
"Bro....." Mark begun to say as he swam, "you na blood na" he explained "Anything wet be my own, oboi it also belongs to you" he switched his accent and motioned his hands from his chest to that of ola's
"Chill its just paperwork" he added, shaking ola's shoulder as a gesture to loosen up and then swam on
Ola's Pov:
Except its not, its not nothing, we built our career on my knowledge, we're here because I've been the brain box, why does he see it fit to put his assets and inheritance on a woman's palm, is it because its his money? Or has he really been jonzed
"Mark tech...." I don't even know when the words left my mouth but since I've started I might as well continue "Mark Oil and Gas, Mark automobile, Even Mark Science...."
"Ola!!" He snapped and even though I knew we were both tensed i needed him to see what he's doing is stupid, If anything i have to be the one to take the money, its either me or no one else does.
"You willed everything over to her in just 1 year of marriage" I still couldn't bring myself to understand the term love and his entire fortune going together
"What if she ask for a divorce?" I pressed on as I watched him swim out of the pool "or even cheats on you?" I noticed how he bit hard on his teeth, even with his mouth closed I could still his jaw moving
"Mark!!" I called out over and over again but he had walked out.
If he thinks running away would make all of this disappear then he doesn't know how long the ride's for

"What the helly?" I said as I paced my room, my stupid friend just put Alexa in charge of all Mark Science Projects "what has she done to him?" I scrolled through the news update for the uptempo time wondering if I keep refreshing it maybe it'd show its a prank.
He's barely in the country so how in heaven's name do they have time enough to bond and fall in love and make their marriage work. How?

Friday Night
Ola's Pov:
I watched the whole scene play out; the dousing, the slap, the drama and I smiled, a plan has finally been kicked in place,I have someone to hate on Alexa with. I brought out my phone, ready to type when my phone chimed
Beep, beep it chimed and I clicked on the text immediately
So did the plan work?
I smiled something better, I mouthed as I typed
Leaving the party I wondering how everything fell into place even after my plan of persuading Mark to take back his child failed to break them up, now he gets to see his wife and her homeboy in action
Argghhhhh I'm so smart.

Present time
"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Ola repeated as he kicked the air "This man is way out of his head" he said thoughtfully
"He knew?" "He knew and yet he did not change the will?" His voice wrapped with disbelief, shock and confusion
