Chapter 54: The Truth

Theme: The Truth

Arike’s POV

“Dayo, how did you incur all these injuries?” I asked.

“That day I told Shalewa that I was going to reveal the truth to our parents if she doesn’t accept the divorce. We argued until she hit me with a wine bottle out of anger and she even tried to stab herself after she saw that I was bleeding and badly hurt. I managed to get the object from her and tried to leave to get to the hospital but she outsmarted me.” Adedayo narrated with a deep frown on his face.

“what do you mean?” I asked.

“Shalewa figured my injury would get her into trouble, so she tried to fall off the stairs. Believe me..Arike, I held her hand to save her but when she knew I couldn’t hold on for too long because I became so dizzy, so she intentionally threw herself down the stairs.” He rubbed his palms over his face.

“I didn’t even know she was pregnant if not I would have avoided a fight with her.” He added.

“You called the hospital?” I asked.
