Chapter 4 - The honeymoon

Akua and Kwame arrived at the romantic resort on Lake Malawi, surrounded by lush green hills and crystal-clear waters. The perfect setting for a dreamy honeymoon, but Akua's mind was elsewhere.

As they settled into their luxurious villa, Akua couldn't shake off the feeling that Kwame was hiding something. She had noticed strange phone calls and whispered conversations during the wedding reception.

One evening, as they sat on the beach watching the sunset, Akua confronted Kwame. "What's going on? You're distant, preoccupied. Is everything okay?"

Kwame sighed, running his hands through his hair. "It's just work stuff, Akua. Don't worry about it."

But Akua's instincts screamed otherwise. She knew Kwame too well; he was hiding something.

Later that night, as Kwame slept, Akua snuck out of the villa and made her way to the resort's business center. She needed answers.

As she scrolled through Kwame's phone records, her heart raced. A number kept popping up, a number she recognized.

It was the number of Kwame's ex-girlfriend, the one he had cheated on Akua with all those years ago.

Akua's mind reeled. What was going on? Was Kwame still in contact with her?

With a newfound determination, Akua vowed to uncover the truth, no matter what secrets she might uncover.
