I thanked Mama Grace for telling me and ended the call.
That evening, I sat on my balcony and watched the sun disappear behind the buildings.
I thought about the little boy who had just entered the world.
I hoped he would grow up surrounded by love, honesty, and people who understood that a child should never be used to prove one person’s superiority over another.
I also hoped Nonye would learn to build her life on something stronger than the promises of a man who had already lied to two women.
Most of all, I hoped Kelly would finally understand what he had destroyed.
Not simply a marriage.
He had destroyed the trust of a woman who had stood beside him when life was difficult, who had prayed for him when his business struggled, and who had loved him even when she believed her inability to conceive might eventually cost her everything.
