She was kidnapped
He got the call from the Kidnappers
"We have your wife" the voice said
Involve the police, she dies
He remained calm
He works in a sensitive industry
Kidnap is part of the territory
What do you want? He asked them
"Money'' replied the voice
Please don't harm her

He called their Head of Security
Police, DSS got in on it
Where was she kidnapped?
When was she kidnapped?
Were there witnesses?
Questions began to fly
She should be on the staff bus, on her way to work
But she was not
She was with a man, in an exotic car
Who was this man?

Why wasn't the man kidnapped?
Police arrested man
"I am but a poor driver" the man lamented
So what was she doing with you?
"Sir, we were lovers''
What! Lovers? What do you mean?
She doesn't know I am a driver
She assumed I own the big cars I drive
She wants me to marry her

His Head of Security told him
This was where the investigation stands
He: Please let us just get her out
'The voice called, bring the money to so and so place
Come alone'
He started sourcing for the fund
Her mother called
"What are you doing about my daughter's release?"
He: Hmmm

Her Mother: If my daughter dies in the kidnapper's den, you will know war!
Her Brother called
'Give us updates on how you are handling this matter'
He: I am sourcing for funds, can you assist?
Her Brother: No be your work put her in danger?
Let your office assist you
He: Hmmm

The next day, the police recovered her phone
It was in the lover's car
Text, whatsapp, phone records points to another man
They got the man
He was also her lover
He: Hmmm

He got the funds
He paid
She was released
10 days of hell in the kidnapper's den
He waited, the dust settled

HER STORY

He was the one who came to me saying he loved me
It was his decision
It was his feeling
It was his choice
I have never loved him
I wanted to marry another, but another didn't have a job
Couldn't provide for me
I had to settle
He did the loving
I did the settling

Do you know how it feels to expose your nakedness to someone you dont love
To lie there while he takes you
Your body may respond for a minute
But your heart is forever roaming, wandering through the wilderness
Seeking for still waters
Panting, searching, waiting
Crying for love..

He was a good man
I tried to love him
I tried hard
I just couldn't
He sent me to the UK
I took a lover
I went for my Masters in this country
I took another lover
It seemed my heart will take anybody but him
I don't know why
I can't explain it
Love is funny that way, cant help it

Should I have lied to myself
Pretend I love him when i don't?
He chose to remain faithful
He chose to love me
If that makes him happy
But doesn't make me happy
Why should I pretend it does?
I am a human being, I am a woman
I have the right to my own feelings
My own choices!

He: I want a divorce
She: It will cost you
He: I will like DNA tests done on our children
She: Over my dead body
The next day, she took the children and disappeared
He searched everywhere
Family got involved
Blame game
Six months later she sent DNA reports
The children are his

Then she sued
She wants full custody, financial support and monthly alimony payment
The judge compelled him to pay
He did
He counter sued
Legal bullets flew everywhere
He comes to Pastor, what do I do?
I hate her, she used me, she betrayed me, I am hurting
Pastor says FORGIVE!!!

So I should continue to support her financially when she can get a job a cater for herself?
I should continue to support her lifestyle instead of moving on?
Pastor: No, forgive her and take care of your children. Justice is reasonable, you won't lose out here

Justice was reasonable
She was given custody of the children because of the nature of his job
A certain amount was set as her stipend until she gets a job
Three years later he met another woman
This time he was really loved
They are happily married

Love sometimes isn't fair
