The evidence was ready. David and I had everything neatly compiled — screenshots, voice notes, even a copy of Tunde’s marriage certificate from Abuja.The plan was simple: send it anonymously to his company’s HR department. Once his double life was exposed, his reputation would crumble.But just as I was about to hit send, my phone rang.It was an unknown number.

—The Call

“Hello?” I answered cautiously.A deep female voice replied. “Is this Amara?”“Yes… who’s speaking?”“My name is Kemi. I’m Tunde’s wife.”My blood ran cold.

—Tunde’s Wife

Kemi didn’t waste time with pleasantries. Her tone was calm but heavy with pain.“I know about you, Amara. And I know about Chioma. You’re not the first… and you won’t be the last if I don’t stop him.”I swallowed hard. “How did you get my number?”She sighed. “I found his second phone. The one he hides from me. I went through everything. You should know… he’s ruined women before. Some even lost more than their dignity.”My chest tightened. “What do you mean?”Kemi’s voice broke. “He took money from them. Lied to them. Used them. My marriage… it’s been a lie from the start.”I sat in silence, my heart pounding. So it wasn’t just love Tunde was playing with — it was lives.

—Breaking the News

I rushed to Chioma’s place that evening. She was curled up on the couch, holding her belly, her eyes tired but alert.“Chioma,” I began gently, “I just spoke to Tunde’s wife.”Her eyes widened. “Wife? You actually talked to her?”I nodded. “She confirmed everything. He’s been doing this for years — using women, taking their money, destroying their lives. We’re not the first, Chioma. And if we don’t stop him, we won’t be the last.”She broke into tears, covering her face. “I hate him, Amara. I hate him for what he’s done to me… to us.”For the first time, we weren’t enemies anymore. We were allies in the same battle.

Two days later, it happened. Someone — maybe Kemi, maybe one of the other women — leaked the truth.Social media exploded. Posts about Tunde’s affairs, his scams, his lies, all went viral. His company couldn’t ignore the scandal. Within 24 hours, he was suspended.I thought I’d feel relief, maybe even joy. But instead, I felt… empty.Yes, he was finally paying for his sins. But the scars he left on us remained.

—The Unexpected Twist

Just when I thought it was over, my phone buzzed again late at night. It was Chioma. Her voice was shaky, panicked.“Amara… I’m in the hospital.”My stomach dropped. “What happened? Is it the baby?”She sobbed. “Yes. The stress… the doctors say I might lose it.”I grabbed my keys and rushed out of the house, my heart pounding.When I arrived, Chioma was on a hospital bed, pale and weak. I held her hand tightly. “You’re not alone, Chioma. You’ll never be alone in this.”Tears streamed down her cheeks. “After everything I did to you, you’re still here. Why?”I whispered, “Because we both lost too much already. I won’t let you lose everything.”
