This is a story of a young man whose love for the wife is great, he has been married for seven years without a child. He suddenly stumbled on a beautiful lady, little did he know she was her wife's best friend. He finally fell in love and with the encouragement from his friends Philip and Brains, he started a secret affair, little did he know that his wife and the young lady had their own plans up their sleeves. They were the ones leading him, while he was thinking he was really outsmarting his wife.
One thing led to another and Brains finally got to know that the same lady he encouraged his friend to secretly go after is his would be wife he proposed to while on a leave at Paris. 
Brains, Olivia, Pat, Mike and Philip are caught in a web that would destroy their relationship. 

My wife's best friend

At 9pm that night Brains was worried, his only thought out solution is to head to Paris that weekend to find Olivia and possibly finalize arrangements on the marriage. He can't wait any longer. What if Olivia has changed her mind, it can't be possible, she had told him there was no one in her life that night.

He picked up his phone and called Mike.

Hello Mike please I have tried reaching Philip but his phone is on voicemail

Sorry he left town for an urgent meeting, thought he dropped you a message replied Mike.

Oh! Ok, just a quick one, I will be heading to Paris this weekend Brains said.

Just then, Pat who was with Olivia entered her husbands room.

Ok,hope for good or is there any business?

I will call you from there and give you details. Replied Brains. He thought of giving them a surprise on his marriage plan.

Pat was still trying to get the reason for the husband  shouting Paris, when Mike told her Brains is going to Paris.

Has he been there before she queried?

Yes once I think so Mike responded.

Now her suspision is beginning to make sense. Could it be that Brains is going to Paris to look for Olivia? Is it possible that Olivia is hiding something from her? Is there also possibility that the Brains Olivia is talking about is different from this Brains? It is just a matter of time everything will come out clear. She must put her eyes on the ground to monitor Olivia's moves.

After all she has her own agenda for Olivia.

Brains arrived office in the morning, he managed to clear up the pending jobs on his table, he handed over the remaining correspondences to his secretary and left for Air de France office to purchase his flight ticket to Paris. Already, he had packed the few things he will be needing for the few days he will stay. His heartbeat has increased in speed since the night at the thought of something bad happening to Olivia.

Brains arrived the ticketing office at Trish boulevard, a GRA for the bourgeoisie in Africa. The houses here range from hundreds of millions and only the high and mighty in the society can afford them. He recalled how he would have bought one from a client who was desperately in need of money. He would have become a house owner in this high profile area.

Meanwhile while Brains was thinking of this and contemplating on where to park, Chase was a few meters away from him with a zoom lens automatic camera covering him. He has been following and tailing on Brains since night, but Brains was too preoccupied to notice. Being an expert and one of the best in secret service, he has stayed unoticed for the time being. Brains got a parking space,  stepped down from his car and walked straight into the ticket office.

Wait a minute Chase thought to himself, this must be Brains, what is actually happening, is he the one he was asked to follow up? Brains and Chase became close at an event where Brains saved his life from a gun shot that would have shattered his chest. He would have been a dead man by now, since that incident , he has been on assignment that took him off town always and he hadn't the opportunity to appreciate Brains. What should he do, he thought of exposing the whole thing to Brains but on a second thought, he felt it's unprofessional. He will get to the root of this then he will decide what to do.
