“Calm down, I’ll come get you. Just sit right, I’m on my way”, Chief Akande said to the spluttering, blubbering mess of a woman on the other end of the line.

Driving as fast as he could, he made it to her office in record time. Putting a call through, he informed her almost brusquely that he was in the parking lot. She stepped out a few seconds later, looking like a complete mess.

Yes, he wanted to be close to her, to offer her comfort her and offer her solace, but definitely not like this. This is more than he ever bargained for, even though he had dreamed of stealing her from her husband a thousand times.

She stepped into the car quietly and meekly. When they got to their destination, fear widened her eyes as she stepped out.

As they stepped over the threshold and into the big building looming above them, she grabbed his hand and held on for dear life.
