Bayo moved one side to make the call.

Jacklyn: my love I don't like the way you are behaving, it's not like you at all.

Soms: Please I don't have anything to say right now, I want to think.

Jacklyn: I wanted to surprise you with the pregnancy.

Soms: How are you even pregnant?

Soms: I mean who is responsible for the child.

Bayo: What do you mean (bayo suddenly showed up) you told me about your first time.

Soms: What,Of course I remember.

bayo: Something is really wrong with you.

Jacklyn: Look I know I should have told you, for that I am sorry.

Soms:Yes you should have but you didn't and that sucks.

Jacklyn: I just said I was sorry.

Soms: I don't need your sorry.

Jacklyn: I honestly don't know what is wrong with you.

Soms: Don't act like you don't know it's your fault.

Jacklyn: What the heck jay,why are you acting all crazy.

Soms slapped her and she fell, bayo rushed to her and helped her up.

Bayo: What is up with you soms,why are you hitting her you know she's pregnant guy.

Soms:Oh please don't tell me anything about marriage, like yours is prefect,am not the one who's wife is fucking another.

Bayo looked at him with bitter in his eyes.

Bayo: You are not the friend I used to know, I don't even know you anymore.

Soon bayo's driver came, bayo and jacklyn entered the car🚗

Bayo: Are you coming (he said to soms)

Soms entered the car 🚗 without saying a word, bayo and his driver dropped soms and his wife at their house🏠

THE NEXT DAY.

The next day soms opened his eyes 👀 slowly and saw Jacklyn lying on the floor covered in blood breathing slowly, he immediately jumb out from the bed 🛏️ and then noticed he was holding a knife 🔪, he threw the knife 🔪, panicking he checked if she was still breathing, which she is not.

Soms:Oh my God I killed her (he said to himself)

At that moment soms was really confused,he knew the only person he would call was bayo but they fought yesterday, but he tried anyway and lucky bayo answered.

Bayo: What is it, you can not run mouth for me and then call to apologise,my brother I will not forgive you.

Soms: She's dead (was the only thing soms said before cutting the call)

Bayo panicked and call soms back again but he didn't answer,then he decided to drive to soms house, when he got here, he tried to knock but the gate was open so he went into, immediately he got in he saw soms dragging a bloody sheet with what looked like a human in it, he locked the gate and ran to soms and stopped him from dragging the body,soms looked at bayo and started laughing

Soms: Finally she's gone, I didn't even have to lift a finger (he heavily laughed but then bayo slapped him and he started crying)

Bayo: What happened?

Soms: I don't know I just woke and saw me holding a knife 🔪 and she was lying on the ground dead (He cried but suddenly started laughing and again started crying).

Bayo immediately took out his phone and called soms family.

ON CALL

Adura: Look if you are calling on behalf of my brother then you are wasting your time.

Bayo: It's happening again?

Adura: What do you mean

Bayo: The sickness

Adura: What (she yells and caught the attention of her family members) we will be right there.

Adaego: What is it?

Adura:Somtochuwu has the sickness.

Adaego: What!!

Few hours later,soms family came to soms house, the knocked and bayo who was washing the blood off the ground, he then rushed and opened the gate and they are came in and he returned to washing off the blood, they saw soms sitting on the ground and looking at the blood on his hands.

Adaego: Somtochuwu (his mother called out to him but he just sat here looking at the blood and smiling).

Muna: What are we going to do,we can't let brother go to prison.

Adaego:No one is going anywhere, bayo

Bayo:Yes ma (he came to her)

Adaego: Where is the body

Bayo: It's in my car ma.

Adaego: I need you to do something for me (she drew him closer and whispered to him)
