The evening breeze at their favourite pleasure park was soft and comforting, carrying with it the laughter of children chasing kites and the sweet smell of roasted corn from a nearby stand. Lisa leaned back on the grass, sipping from her can of malt while watching the orange streaks of the setting sun. Beside her, Faith stretched out lazily, nibbling on a piece of suya they had bought earlier.

It had been a while since the two friends had escaped to this spot, and as always, it felt refreshing. This was their place…where they come to breathe, gist, laugh and sometimes cry. Today was supposed to be all fun, but Lisa noticed the way Faith kept sighing in between bites, her eyes clouded with worry.

“ What with the long face?” Lisa asked, nudging her with a playful smile. “ Don't tell me the suya is too peppery for you?”

Faith chuckled a little but quickly grew serious again. She lowered her drink and stared straight at Lisa. “ Lisa l think Kunle is cheating on me”

The words hit Lisa, like

  • Unexpectedly His   Chapter Eighty six: When worry feels like care

    Chapter Eighty six: When Worry Feels Like CareLater that night, the house was quiet except for the low sound of the television. Ken sat alone in the living room, half watching a movie and half lost in his thoughts. The lights were dim, and his phone rested on the arm of the couch beside him. Every few seconds, his eyes drifted toward the door.When the door finally opened, Lisa walked in slowly, her heels in her hands, her steps uneven from exhaustion. She looked completely drained. Her shoulders sagged, and she did not even bother to switch on the light. She was too tired to notice that Ken was still awake.“Really,” Ken said, his voice breaking the silence. “Look at the time you are coming back.”Lisa froze, startled. “Ah Ken, you are still awake” she said, placing her bag on a chair. “I thought you would be asleep by now.”Ken muted the television and stood up. “I called you over and over again. You did not pick any of my calls.”Lisa frowned and immediately started searching thro

    Chapter Eighty five: Boundaries and QuestionsKunle sat at the bar with a glass in his hand, staring into the amber liquid as if it held answers he could not find. The music was low, the atmosphere relaxed, and the bartender already knew his usual. He had just taken another sip when Ken walked in.Ken scanned the room and smiled when he saw Kunle. He walked over immediately.“Hey bro,” Ken said, stretching out his hand.“Guy,” Kunle replied, standing up halfway and gripping his hand firmly. “What is up with you”Ken sat on the stool beside him and sighed. “I have been busy. Work has been crazy. My dad travelled, so everything is on my shoulders now.”Kunle nodded knowingly. “Yeah, Faith told me. You are officially carrying the company on your head now.”Ken chuckled lightly. “It is not funny at all.”Kunle studied him briefly, then smirked. “This one you are lying low these days, what happened Are you tired of girls”Ken laughed, shaking his head. “You have not changed at all.”“Well,

    Chapter Eighty Four: Lunch That Changed the MoodLisa sat alone at a corner table in the restaurant, her phone resting beside her plate as her eyes flicked between the screen and the elegant wall clock. She shifted in her seat and sighed softly. She had arrived early, as usual, and now she had been waiting longer than she liked. The restaurant was quiet but classy, with soft music playing in the background and waiters moving about gracefully.A man seated a few tables away had been stealing glances at her. After watching her for a while, he waved down a waiter and whispered something to him. Moments later, the waiter approached Lisa with a polite smile.“Good afternoon ma. A gentleman would like to offer you a drink,” he said, gesturing discreetly in the man’s direction.Lisa glanced briefly at the stranger, then shook her head gently. “No thank you,” she replied. “I am waiting for someone.”The waiter nodded and walked away. Lisa returned her attention to her phone, checking the time

    Chapter Eighty Three: A Dangerous SuggestionThe soft clinking of cutlery and low murmurs of conversation filled the restaurant as Lisa stirred the food on her plate, her appetite clearly gone. Ken sat beside her, glancing between Lisa and Faith, already sensing the tension in the air. Faith leaned back in her chair, her brows drawn together, clearly unable to hold her thoughts any longer.Faith sighed sharply and dropped her spoon. “Wait,” she said, looking directly at Lisa. “Why didn’t you slap her when she said all that rubbish to you? You just stood there like it was nothing.”Lisa lifted her head slowly and met Faith’s gaze, her expression calm but firm. “Because I do not have her time,” she replied. “And I am not about to stoop to her level. She feeds on reactions. I refuse to give her that satisfaction.”Ken nodded slightly, though his jaw tightened. “Are you sure you heard everything Lisa said? Because the things that came out of her mouth were disgusting.”Lisa gave a small l

    Chapter Eighty Two: Acting the PartLisa sat on the edge of the bed, her hands fidgeting nervously in her lap. She looked at Ken with wide, anxious eyes. “Are you sure this acting is going to work?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly.Ken smiled reassuringly and reached out to hold her hand. “Definitely,” he said confidently. “I am sure he is still awake, and we just need to convince him.”Lisa exhaled slowly. “Alright, let’s start. I am just so nervous,” she admitted.“Don’t be,” Ken said, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Just calm down, close your eyes, and take a deep breath.”Lisa followed his instructions, inhaling deeply and exhaling loudly. “Okay,” she said.Ken took a deep breath himself and said, “We can lie down and project this in a way that makes it realistic.”He gently guided her to lie down on the bed, his hands warm and reassuring. “You can do this,” he whispered.Lisa’s stomach twisted in anxiety. “Ken, I am so nervous,” she admitted softly.“Come on, yo

    Chapter Eighty one: When Love Begins to Question ItselfFaith’s cries filled the sitting room, loud and uncontrolled, breaking the silence of the house like shattered glass.She paced the room endlessly, her tears flowing without restraint as her hands shook. Her chest felt tight, like the air itself had turned heavy. Kunle stood a few steps away, helpless, watching the woman he loved unravel before him.“Are you still cheating on me, Kunle?” Faith screamed, her voice cracking. “Answer me. Are you still cheating on me”She wiped her tears angrily and pointed at him. “I hope what Bella said was something that happened in the past. I truly hope so. But I cannot ignore this feeling eating me up inside.”She stopped walking suddenly and faced him fully. “It feels like you are still cheating on me. Tell me what I did to you, Kunle. What exactly did I do wrong”Kunle’s voice trembled as he stepped closer. “Baby, please take it easy. This shouting is not good for you or the baby. Please calm
