61“Good evening officer,” Ruth said. “I am Mrs Steel-Walter, his legal mother,” She touched his shoulder, trying not to lose her temper.Cephas had called his sister to inform her that he got arrested but she had gone on a business trip with their father which left him the option of asking his stepmom to come and bail him.As much as he hated to invo;vce Ruth in his shut, he was too desperate to go back home because Tyla was waiting for him. She literally had no help and the police there were not allowing him to make personal calls, he would have asked Anta to go to his home to assist her. “Good evening ma’am, I am the detective in charge of your son’s case.” The police typed something into this computer then he spoke again. “He caused some damages in the town’s grocery store”He handed some pictures to Ruth, clicking his teeth. “He could be charged to jail and fined for damages, depending on the judge.” The policeman read from his computer. “I didn’t do it.” Cephas said quietly

Anta had hired some hairdresser and makeup artists to give Tyla a makeover on her boss’ request. She had spent all day running errands for her since her boss was handling a few office matters with Jose.Her job was the most exciting thing in her life aside from the man that she loved the most. to work alongside him made this even better for her. Her boss was so kind to her and even paid them for every service they offer.She could say her life and Jose’s life has never been the same since Mr Walter employed them as interns and trained them to be his son’s assistants.Mr Walter had told them that if they felt that they owed him a debt for assisting them, they should repay it by being loyal to only his son, Cephas. He didn’t need their loyalty and they were not obligated to share his son’s personal information with them under any circumstances “Mr Cephas Walter is here, ma’am. Is there anything you want me to assist you with?: Maybe retry your makeup, if you even want to change your d

Tyla’s mom refused the ride he had offered them which made him a little uncomfortable. She knew him so well in their neighborhood. Everyone called him a puppet husband who did nothing but listen to his wife and attend to her every request.Though Tyla’s mom never did that to his face, she had always been kind to him. He saw where Tyla had gotten her kind traits from. Even when his coworkers were bullying him she was the only one that ever showed him kindness.When he was very broke only Tyla and her mom were the only nice ones to him, the security was against the poor. Even fellow poor men would treat each other with disdain and suck up to wealthy people.He had learned so many things while he was poor. A black car seemed to be on Cephas’ tail.Though he was thinking about Tyla’s mom’s reaction and if she possibly didn’t want her daughter to have anything to do with him because he was a divorcee, he could not help but notice the black car behind him.He swerved so many times, switchi

67“Violet.” Cephas yelled, banging on the door of the small apartment that his ex-wife was staying in. Everyone has been telling him that he had divorced her but he didn't believe them.“Please come out, we need to talk.” he shouted again. “Everyone keeps saying we are divorced and I can’t believe it. Why would my precious wife divorce me?”The neighbors that heard his voice started coming out to see what was going on. Words easily spread there.“What is wrong with him?” a neighbor said to another.“He must be unable to get over the divorce and now he has a mental illness. I have seen this so many times in movies.” The other neighbor replied. “It is such a pity. I am not surprised by anything. He had been too obsessed with her since they got married, doing her laundry, helping with grocery shopping. It is normal that he is like this after.” The neighbor said.“This is why I never take my wife seriously, I don’t want any woman to treat me like I am some piece of waste that doesn't

“Abraham, you are back.” Cephas got up from the couch he was sitting on to go and meet his step brother. Ruth had brought him back to their estate so that she could keep an eye on him. She didn't want any stranger to know about his memory loss. His assistants were going to work, they came to see him everyday, though he didn’t recognise them.Abraham was taken aback by his brother’ gesture, they were like sworn enemies in the past, why was he acting like they were close or something.“I know you are surprised but I am desperate, that is why I am here to ask you for help.” Cephas started. “I just found out my wife divorced me and I went to her place two days ago to ask for forgiveness but she doesn’t seem to like me anymore.”“Why are you telling me this? How am I supposed to help you when I have never been married before, not to talk of getting a divorce.”“You have more experience with women. Besides the girls I had in college and high school, Violet is the first woman I was with for
