Member-only story
Olu James stood by the window of the high rise apartment he bought for Rosa. He was a forty five year old man who had accomplished huge success early in life. He owned multiple businesses ranging from retail to technology.
He looked out of the window with a blank expression on his face. The week was stressful, apart from work, his love life and his marriage seemed to be falling apart. It was hard to live a double life. He had been leading a double life for some time. He seemed to hold his cards right, but lately he found himself slipping. He didn’t want to lose both ways, so one had to go.
At home, Olu was a great husband to Abisola. a beautiful and charming woman. She was truly the bone of his bones and the flesh of his flesh. They had both built their dynasty together. She made marriage seem easy, and also made people envy the success of their marriage. It was a blessed partnership, and everything they did together succeeded. They were regarded as couple goals among their friends. They had a set of twins, Dara and David, who were born eight minutes apart with totally different personalities. They were eleven years old. David was the extrovert and adventurous, while Dara was the introvert. She was very intelligent and beautiful.
Olu was harboring a painful secret. One that could destroy his image and his family if not well handled. The secret was Rosa.
