BOSS ABRAHAM CHRONICLES PRESENTS WHEN LOVE BECOMES A BATTLE EPISODE 2: THE OTHER WOMAN It happened on a quiet Saturday afternoon. Daniel had gone to take a shower when his phone began ringing on the dining table. Chinasa intended to call him, but before she could touch the phone, a message appeared on the screen. “My love, I miss you already. When will you leave your wife so we can finally be together?” Chinasa froze. She read the message again, hoping she had misunderstood it. But the words remained unchanged. Her hands trembled as she placed the phone back where she had found it. She could hear the shower running, yet it felt as though the entire world had suddenly gone silent. When Daniel returned, he found her sitting on the sofa with tears running down her cheeks. “What happened?” he asked. Chinasa raised her eyes. “Who is the woman in your life?” Daniel froze. “What woman?” “Please, don't insult my intelligence. I saw the message.” His expression changed from surprise to anger. “Why were you checking my phone?” Chinasa could hardly believe what she was hearing. Instead of explaining himself, he was blaming her for discovering the truth. “Daniel, we have a daughter. We have built a home together. How could you do this to us?” He remained silent before finally admitting that he had been seeing another woman. He claimed it was a mistake and promised to end the relationship immediately. Chinasa wanted to believe him, but something inside her had broken. That evening, she locked herself in the bedroom and cried until her eyes became swollen. She remembered their wedding day, the promises he had made, and the sacrifices she had endured to build their home. Little Amara knocked gently on the door. “Mummy, why are you crying?” Chinasa quickly wiped her face. “Nothing, my baby. Mummy is just tired.” She pulled her daughter into a tight embrace, wishing she could protect her from the pain unfolding inside their family. For several days, Daniel showered Chinasa with apologies, gifts, and promises. He came home early and behaved like the loving husband she remembered. Slowly, she began to hope again. Then, one night, another message arrived on his phone from the same woman. This time, it contained a photograph of Daniel and the woman together at a restaurant, smiling as though nothing was wrong. Chinasa stared at the photograph, her heart pounding. The affair had not ended. Daniel had simply become better at hiding it. When she confronted him, he begged her not to leave, insisting that he loved his family. But Chinasa wondered how a man could claim to love his wife while repeatedly choosing to hurt her. For the first time, she began asking herself whether love alone was enough to save a marriage. TO BE CONTINUED... WRITTEN BY BOSS ABRAHAM
