He had broken up with Alisha for the money from that other woman, thinking that once he made enough, he would secretly reunite with Alisha. He did still love her, it was just that he couldn't offer her a marriage certificate. Other than that, he could treat Alisha with all the care due a wife.
But Alisha didn't agree and they had a big fight. She even caused a scene at the wedding with another woman, and because of that woman's relatives and friends pushing and hitting Alisha, she ended up having an abortion.
In the past two years, he had always felt guilty about Alisha, especially after divorcing the latter woman. He had been searching for Alisha, wanting to reconcile and compensate her.
