She cuddled the large pillow in her lonely bed for the fifth night in a row. Oluwaniyi was gone. He wouldn't be coming back like he threatened and if he did it would be with a divorce papers. Her life had been happy the past few months and now it was in shambles. Her husband had gone from attentive to cold and dismissive. At first, it worried her but she consoled herself with the thought that they still had dinner together and made love afterwards. But their easy conversation had gone all in a drain and he pushed himself away from her every night they made love. He grew tired of her body and he even told her she disgust him. He started sleeping in his study room. He worked long hours and refused to shared dinner with her. She had thought that was the worst until she watched him packed his bags and left for Lagos five days ago. Bonuade shoulders shook with tears, she wished she had rethought her decision. Her sister had warned her but she was blinded by her love for him. She thought Aina was helping her, but it turned out she was planning her destruction. She remembered how her woes started.
It was during her NYSC, she received a phone call from her. Aina had been nice to her on phone and had even visited her at her primary place of assignment at Benin. Bonuade had thought she was her friend. They had discussed about Adunni and Oluwaniyi. Aina encouraged her not to relent if she really loved Oluwaniyi. She had believed her. The opportunity came a week to Adunni and Oluwaniyi's wedding. Aina had visited her at Abuja with excitement.
"Trust me that wedding won't work" she said beaming
"How?" Bonuade asked
She brought out some pairings of Adunni. She was seminude and the second picture was of her with another man.
"I can't believe this. She's cheating on Niyi" Bonuade screamed
"Exactly" Aina nodded
"And she always act innocent. She doesn't club or drink and Niyi sang her praise everyday. I almost imitate her just to attract him" Bonuade hissed
"That's not all. She can't give birth. She had this abortion when she was very young and her tubes were affected" Aina added and watched Bonuade's eyes grew like saucers.
"What! That's terrible. But wait are you sure she has not told Oluwaniyi?" Bonuade asked
"No" she replied
"Let me call him then" she said dialing his number she knew by heart.
Aina took the phone away from her "Don't be stupid. If you call him, he would call her to confirm. Out of his love for her, he could forgive her" she said while Bonuade nodded.
"This is what you will do, you will send this information to him a day to his wedding. Let's hope he would be angry enough to call it off" Aina said.
Afterwards Aina had made her swore she would not revealed she was behind it. She had grabbed her small Bible to swear with when Aina brought out a scary looking bitter kola. At first she was scared until Aina bit from it and gave it to her.
"Swear, you won't reveal my name" Aina said
"Why would I? You helped me" Bonuade said but she swore.
Her tears came in torrent. Aina had visited her again when she came back from her honeymoon. They met in a car park. Aina slapped her across the face, she was too stunned to react for several seconds.
"What was that for?" She screamed, her hands tightened around her.
"You little idiot, you think you are smart. Marrying him, just like that. You met a dead Buffalo in the yard, you brought out your knife, did you think it drank itself to death?" Aina said her eyes blazing in anger
"What's all in this drama. I don't understand you" she shouted back
"I plotted against my friend because I want Oluwaniyi for myself" Aina said
"What! You were helping me. So its been about your own interest all along. Look at my finger" Bonuade said flashing her ring finger at her "he belongs to me, not any other woman"
Aina clapped her hands "How poetic you sound. How brilliant. Let me remind you of something, if Oluwaniyi could abandoned the woman he loved because he thought she deceived him, your own case would be a piece of cake. He never loved you. I will inform him of your lies, anonymously of course" Aina said flashing that devilish smile she once thought was angelic.
Bonuade folded are arms and laughed "Aren't you forgetting something? You swore to me"
"Really? Did I? You are the one who ate the kolanut and swore. Mention my name and watch yourself die" Aina said.
She had cried for several days. There was no one she could confide in with the death threat hanging over her head. Her husband had noticed her sadness, he had persuaded her to speak up. She thought over their friendship that had developed the past four months and how she believed her instinct that he loved her. She opened up to him excluding Aina's part and taking the blames for his failed wedding. He had not reacted at first, he only stood up and left for the balcony. She left him believing he needed the time to get over her confession.
The night before he left home, she had approached him in his study and knelt before him.
"Please forgive me, I did it because I love you"
"You ruined my love for Adunni's because of your own deceitful one." He said angrily towering over her
"I am sorry" she sobbed
"Get up Bonuade and go to bed" he said turning his back on her.
"Please" she held onto his pyjamas crying
His face twitched " Bonuade, you are pregnant. Get up and go to your room" he said lifting her up
"I don't want to go to bed without you" she said
"I am not in the mood for sex" he said prying her fingers off him.
For a wretchedly over sexed guy like her husband, his reply was a blow to her ragged ego. Their relationship had meant nothing but sex to him.

****************
Lawyer Oluwaniyi sat at the reception waiting for his friend to call him in. He knew Oludare was less busy, he was just punishing him by keeping him waiting. He must have thought his impatience would got the better of him and he would leave. But not today, he was totally drained of all hormones that prompted him to act without proper thought. His temper and his ability to plot a well measured revenge was useful in his profession. But not in his relationship. He shouldn't have done what he did to Adunni, where was she now?
He stared around the empty reception, there was no patient waiting to see the doctor and he had been waiting for the past two hours. It was cleared his best friend was not interested in seeing him. Should he leave? And if he did, who would listen to him like Dare? Who would argued with him or fight him because he was insensitive? He stood up and went to the doctor's office ignoring the protests of his secretary. He opened the door and saw his friend for the first time in four months watching football.
"How dare you ignore me like that" Oluwaniyi was angried
"Leave us Helen, I have been awaiting him" Oludare said dismissing his secretary.
Oludare stood to his full height, facing his friend eye to eye.
"I can throw you out" he threatened
"You should because I am here to fight you. How could you ignore my calls for four months? You even had the gut to block me on WhatsApp" he said exasperated
Oludare ignored him and went back to his seat changing the channels. He hated to admit it, he missed his best friend of twenty years but Oluwaniyi was pig headed and he went too far in his revenge the last time. He even lied to him he had called Adunni only to read it on her Twitter's page that he did not.
"Hi" Oluwaniyi amended dropping in a seat beside his friend
"Hi" he returned
"Dare, I am sorry I behaved badly" he apologized
"It's fine, I have been waiting for this day, when you will come to me" Oludare said and added
"I have missed you"
"I missed you to. I was just stuck in Abuja, the clubs was boring without my home there" Oluwaniyi replied
"How's Bonuade?" Oludare asked.

Oluwaniyi sighed and went into explanation on what he found out two weeks ago.
"What do you intend to do?" Oludare asked him
"Divorce her after she gives birth to my child" he replied
"That's not right. Two wrongs does not make a right. Have you thought about forging her?" He asked him
"I won't forgive her"
"Won't or can't?" Dare asked
"I can't. She's a liar" Oluwaniyi sighed.
If he was truthful with himself, he was in love with his wife. The four months had opened his eyes to the kind of marriage he would have had with Adunni. It would have been a quiet life without fun. Well his idea of fun was different from her, Adunni hated clubbing and alcohol and he had given up all that for her. Because he loved her. But Bonuade was excitement herself. She dragged him from one club to another. Their free days was spent watching car race, movies, making love and eating out. Adunni loved homemade foods unlike him who loved eating out. He could count the number of times his wife could for him. They sampled different meals at various joints.
"Divorce is not the solution. If you remarry, do you know what attitude the next wife will display? Don't ruin your young life like this" his friend scolded while he sighed
"Have you seen Adunni?" Oluwaniyi asked him
"No, but she's married. She got married two days after you left her" Oludare informed
"Two days after? Wow! She must have kept an assistant boyfriend afterall. There must be some truth in what my wife said" Oluwaniyi said
"That was my thought too. What would you do now?" He asked
"Nothing, I will just stay here in Lagos and think about my life" he answered
"It's good to have you back" his friend said
"It's good to be back. Let's drink" Oluwaniyi said.

like seriously you should make an eBook out of this even if you intend to give it out free. It would help increase ur readership base and give you more credibility as a writer. Mind you if you do this, be ready to write another book to quench ur fans' hunger.
This àlso goes to nairaland writers. the world deserve to hear ur voice

Lovely story line.
I like the fact that the script isn't so muvh of a straight story
The sprinkle of suspense is tantalizing
You will need to edit later on and correct some grammatical errors
Nevertheless, it's a catchy one!!!!
Just don't make it too predictable
Good job!
