Korede rushed into Mr Humphrey’s house, he had gotten a call from him to meet him at home as soon as possible.
“Korede my boy, how are you doing today?” Mr Humphrey asked calmly.
“You called me sir, what is the problem?” Korede asked p@n-ting heavily.
“Oh there is no problem at all, I got a call from Mario”
“What did he say?”
“They saw Evelyn’s husband entering the h0tel minutes after her best friend”
“What? but how did he find out where she is?”
“Now that is where you come in, you will get Evelyn’s best friend and interrogate her, we nee-d to know if she is an enemy or a friend” Mr Humphrey said picking up his i-pad, “She stays at Brooklyn Estate, G. R. A, go get her” he completed handing korede his i-pad.
“Is she the one in this picture?” Korede asked.
“Yes, she is, I went throu-gh her facebook page”
“Okay sir, I will get her immediately, I hope Mario and the guys are at alert?”
“Yes, they are, am not worried about Thomas and his son taking my daughter, Mario knows what to do” he grinned sadly.
“Alright then, I will be on my way” he replied walking towards the door.
“One more thing Korede”
.
“What is it sir?”
“We will leave for Bayelsa state after you are done with Evelyn’s best friend”
“To do what Sir?”
“I nee-d to meet with Maxwell’s other family over there, his other wife will have a role to pl@yin all of these problems we are In” he concluded letting out a breath.

Evelyn looked at her phone again, contemplating on whether to place a call to him or not, she had missed her appointment with him all because of her father and Ken. She hissed and threw her phone on the be-d, but just then, it started ringing, she picked it up and “Doc Korede” stared back at her, she wi-de-ned her eyes in surprise, the person she wanted to call was calling her back.
“Hello doctor” she answered fiddling with her Sk-irt.
“Mrs Desmond, how have you been? You missed our section on Thursday, will you come around tomorrow for the second stage of the section” she heard him ask.
“Tomorrow is Tuesday? I have forgotten” she scratched her head.
“Are you sure you are okay Mrs Desmond?” Korede asked.
“Am not fine at all doctor, am pas-sing throu-gh challenges right now, and as for the section, I don’t think I can continue with it” she answered back lying on the be-d with her face up.
“But why Mrs Desmond?, I thought you wanted to have children?
“Yes doctor, I wanted to, but not anymore, I just found out that the person i was doing it for is nothing but a spy fixed in my life by my father” she said but cautioned herself for telling him that.
“What if you come over to the hospital and let’s have a talk, you can let it all out you know”
“Okay doctor, I will be there tomorrow, in as much as I don’t really know you very well, I will visit you tomorrow because I nee-d someone to talk to” she sighed.
“Alright Mrs Desmond, till tomorrow then, take care” he hung up.
Evelyn sighed again as she scrolled throu-gh her contacts meaning to call Georgia and tell her not to come to the h0tel the next day as she would be going to the hospital.

Evelyn hissed continuously as she unpacked her bag, she had gone home only to meet an empty house, she smiled as she remembered the young gynecologist, she had agreed to go home after meeting with him, coupled with the call she got from Georgia telling her to go home as well, she smiled again but was interrupted by a knock, she went downstairs to get the door, on getting there, she met a young woman standing awkwardly and looking around.
She rummaged throu-gh her br@in to know where she had met the young woman, but she was interrupted by the woman as she spoke.
“Hello, am Angela, am sure you are Evelyn?”
“Yes, I am, how may I help you?” Evelyn asked eyeing her.
“Can I come inside at least?” she asked politely.
“Sure you can, forgive my manners” Evelyn said opening the door wi-der for her.
.
“Thanks, your house is fine” Angela commented looking round the sitting room but winced as her eyes rested on the wedding pictures hanging on the wall in the sitting room.
“Thanks, what do I offer you?” Evelyn asked brushing off the visitor’s reaction on seeing her wedding pictures with Ken.
“Am okay but that is not why I c@m£, I c@m£ to see Maxwell, my husband, I learnt that he lives here” Angela said still eyeing the wedding pictures.
“Sorry, but there is no Maxwell living here, I only live with my husband Ken, I think you c@m£ to the wrong house” Evelyn said getting confused.
“you might know him as Ken or whatever, but his name is Maxwell and he is my husband, we got married six years ago and we have three children” Angela said looking at Evelyn closely.
“I don’t un-derstand, what do you mean? I alre-ady told you that there is no Maxwell here” Evelyn said almost shouting now.
“Calm down Evelyn, this man you are calling Ken, your husband is also Maxwell my husband, he left us at Bayelsa state and c@m£ to port-harcourt four years ago, since then he only visit us at interval” Angela said pointing at one of the wedding pictures.
“So what are you saying, what evidence do you have?” Evelyn asked getting angry.
“Here, feed your eyes, it is our wedding pictures, I know you won’t believe me so I c@m£ with it” she handed Her the albu-m and relaxed on the sofa.
“so what you are trying to say is that we.. ” she asked sniffing as tears gathered in her eyes.
“We are married to the same man” Angela completed it for her.
Evelyn wiped her eyes and looked up at her visitor, and that was when it flooded her memory, she was the lady that she saw in the portrait with Ken and a little boy in her father’s study.
“Wait, that means Dad knew about these all these while and he lied to me, he said you are Ken’s younger sister, are you sure that man is my father? Am going to the house right away, Dad will tell me who my biological father is because am sure he is not in any way my father” she sniffed gr-abbing her car keys as she rushed out of the house with Angela following behind.

Mr Humphrey looked at Korede and Georgia and smiled at them, after interrogating Georgia, she proved to them that she was indeed a friend and she had decided to work with them.
“Angela called, she said we can go to Thomas’ house with the police men because she has left the house with my daughter to see Thomas” Mr Humphrey said smiling.
“Thank God for that, let me get the car key” Korede said as he stood up.
