"Welcome Adama! Long time no see"

"Where the hell is my daughter? Where is she?"  Adama glared at the man sitting in front of her with a teasing smile. A long time enemy of hers. She is not ready to talk about him for now.

"Tigress" The man chuckled, shaking his head. Adama will never change. She is shouting at him yet her daughter is with him. It seems like she has forgotten. "You haven't changed. You are still fierce, just the way I like you"

"I don't have time for this stupid conversation. Where is my daughter? I swear I will..."

"Quiet Adama!" The man bellowed, glaring at her. She is getting him angry and no one will like to see him angry.

"I won't keep quiet Sadiq! Not when my daughter is involve in this nonsense"

"Your daughter or my daughter?" Sadiq narrowed his eyes at her, waiting for her to deny it.

"She is not your daughter! She is Mukhtar's daughter! She is his flesh and blood!"

"You got pregnant after..."

"Whatever we had was in the past, Sadiq! Do not bring it up here!" Adama yelled, knowing what he is about to say. Her daughter might be close by and she doesn't want her to hear things like that.

"What we had was in the past truly, but have you forgotten what you did to me and my family? My marriage that got cancelled? Do you remember everything? How you ruined many lives because of your selfish interest? You don't deserve to be walking freely in this world. You simply don't deserve it!"

"Where is my daughter?" Adama chose to ignore everything he said because who cares? She did what she did and she doesn't regret it one bit.

Sadiq shake his head, wondering what sort of woman she is. After everything she did, she still has the guts to act like this.

"You think I will feel guilty by reminding me of the past?" Adama chucked, shaking her head. Sadiq must be a fool to think she will feel guilty. "You think I will ever feel remorseful for ruining Hassana's life? I swear I will continue to ruin her life at any given opportunity. I will not hesitate to ruin anyone who comes in between me and what I do to her just the same way you did. Yes! I was the one who destroyed your wedding and turn your back against each other. You were never involved in my plan, but I hate anyone who loves that woman. I hate anyone who interferes in my business. I will not stop dealing with her till I see her crumbling. Until I destroy everything she cherish!" Adama doesn't care if her daughter is listening to their conversation. Sadiq has pushed her to the wall.

Sadiq opened his mouth, staring at the mad woman in front of him. Is it possible to hate someone this much?

"I know you are wondering what she did to me. Her mother was the one that offended me not her"

"You are angry with someone that is dead? Are you okay?"

"Hassana is paying for her mother's sin! Her mother left this world without paying so her daughter has to pay."

"Hassana is not her only daughter so why are you hellbent on destroying her?" Sadiq asked, knowing everything is going according to how he planned it.

"Because she was the only one who was supporting that woman back then amongst her children. We tend to forget the things we do or how we treat other people's children will also affect our own children. My step mother was a very wicked woman. All she was after is her own children's welfare. She doesn't care about other people's children. She treat other people like trash and treat her own kids like egg."

"You said it just now that whatever people do affect their children, don't you know all these things you are doing will affect your own children too?"

Adama opened her mouth and closed it back. Why is she speechless now? She never thought about what Sadiq just said. So all the things she has been doing to Hassana and her kids might affect her own children too?

"All you care about is revenge. Have your ever sat down and think about your kids? You are busy destroying other people's lives. Have you ever wondered what your kids are doing in school? What they do when you are not at home? Adama do you realize your sons are slowly becoming drug addicted? Your daughter is hanging out with different guys. The revenge you are talking about is ruining your own life. Don't you think what you have done is enough?" No matter what Adama did to him, he still has a soft spot for her, but he can't go back on his words today. The plan has to flow.

"So what do you want me to do? Ask for her forgiveness? I should beg her to forgive me for what I did to her daughters? You are a joker, Sadiq. I rather die than to apologize to Hassana. I will never beg her! Never!"

Sadiq closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. "Let's forget about the past and talk about what is happening now." Sadiq continued, seeing she didn't reply "You will have to do something in order to free your daughter."

"What? I will do anything to free my daughter"

"Well...."
.............
Adama walked into the house, alongside her daughter who was still in a state of shock. She has heard and seen a lot of things today. Things a daughter should never see or hear about her mother.

"Stop there!"

Adama look up and saw almost all her family members in the living room. All the ones that are presently in Abuja. She look at everyone in the living room except her husband, knowing they must have seen everything. Adama gulped and gathered the courage to look at her husband. All she met was his angry glare. Mukhtar has never look at her like that. There was so much hatred in his eyes.

"Mukhtar"

"Do not dare call my name!"

A lone tear escaped her eye. This is exactly what she was scared of. The day her husband will look at her with so much hatred.

"I have divorced you, Adama. Pack your things and leave my house. I don't want to have anything doing with a cheat like you!" He feels so ashamed of Adama after what he watched today. So he has been living with a cheat all these while?

Adama broke down in tears. This can't be happening to her right now. Mukhtar cannot leave her like this. "Forgive me, Mukhtar. Please forgive me! Forgive me for the sake of our children, Mukhtar!"

"Did you think about them when you were sleeping around with different men? Did you?"

Adama shake her head, crying on the floor. "No Mukhtar! There is a mistake here. I have been faithful to you."

"This video is also fake right?" Mukhtar threw the phone at her to see it herself. Maybe she isn't the one in the video.

Adama closed her eyes, crying out loud. Watching that video disgusts her a lot. In order to save her daughter from Sadiq, she had to agree to his disgusting request. It was never her intention to do something like that. To make things worse, Sadiq sent the video to all her family members. Both young and old. What sort of embarrassment is that?

"Has the cat got your tongue? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Adama look at her children for help, but they all ignored her. None of them was able to look at her because they feel ashamed. They will have to suffer for the rest of their lives for what she did.

"Mukhtar please calm down. At least let's hear her explanation please" Hassana beseeched.

"Would you have asked him to calm down if he was your brother?" Hajiya Aisha narrowed her eyes at Hassana. She has been awfully quiet, staring at nothing in particular. She asked everyone to gather in the house immediately she saw the video. She is Mukhtar's mother and Omar's aunt, but he took care of him since his mother died so she is more like a mother to him.

"We might be mistaken or something"

Hajiya Aisha scoff and rolled her eyes. "Keep quiet if you have nothing important to say about this matter." Everyone was already used to how Hajiya Aisha talks so it wasn't surprising.

Hassana nodded. She doesn't want to get on the woman's bad side so it's better she keeps quiet.

Hajiya Aisha turned her attention to her other daughter in law, sorry ex daughter in law. She has heard about everything that has been happening. How her granddaughter was raped by her grandsons. What a mess!

"What exactly happened the night Ruqayya was raped?" Hajiya Aisha asked Adama taking everyone by surprise. They didn't expect her to ask that question especially Ruqayyah who wish she could run away from there with the way everyone was staring at her.

"I...."

"Do not dare lie to me!"

Adama nodded and look at Hamida. The day is finally here. She hope Ruqayya and her mother will be able to handle the truth. Not like she cares.

Hamida gulped nervously. She will be doomed if Adama tells everyone what happened.

"What happened that day was actually planned by me and Hamida"

Who saw that coming? Please don't lie😂😂

I am surprised 😂so Hamida has been pretending all along😂

What do you think of Sadiq?
