• Now, let’s step into this powerful story of love, regret, and redemption. The sun was hot that afternoon and the streets of Lagos were as noisy as ever. Cars honked non-stop. Danfo buses screamed for passengers and hawkers weaved between traffic shouting, “Pure water, gala, cold minerals.” Victor stepped out of his black Range Rover, shielding his eyes with designer sunglasses.
• He looked sharp in his clean white shirt and navy blue trousers. His wristwatch alone worth more than what most people made in a year. People noticed him. Whispers followed. He didn’t come with his usual escort or tinted security SUVs. Today felt different. He wanted to be alone with his thoughts, to revisit the streets that raised him, the ones that reminded him of who he used to be before wealth came knocking. He had told his driver to stop by a roadside food joint.
• He wanted roasted plantain and groundnut, something he hadn’t tasted in years. Boly and groundnut, he said with a nostalgic smile. It reminded him of when he used to count every naira. As he waited for his food to be wrapped, something unusual pulled at him. Just across the road, next to a wall with peeling posters, sat a woman on the bare ground. Her wrapper was faded and torn at the edge. Her feet were dusty.
• She looked tired, not just the kind of tired that comes from walking, but the kind that comes from carrying the weight of life. Beside her sat two boys, twins, thin, dusty, barefoot. Their clothes were oversized and mismatched.
• They were sharing a half loaf of bread and staring at the world like it owed them an explanation. Victor looked at them, then at her. There was something familiar about her face. He took off his sunglasses slowly. She raised her head just for a moment. Their eyes met and his heart skipped. No, it couldn’t be. He stepped closer. The world around him faded. The traffic, the noise, the food sellers shouting. All he could hear was his heartbeat.
• “Anita,” he whispered, his voice cracking slightly. She looked away immediately, then began packing her things in a panic. She tied a black nylon bag, grabbed the boy’s hands, and stood up. Victor walked faster. “Anita, it’s me, Victor.” She froze. Then slowly, painfully, she turned her head. Her eyes were tired. Her lips dry. But he saw it. The scar near her left cheek.
• The one she got in secondary school from a broken mirror. Her skin was darker now from the sun. Her figure smaller, thinner. But it was her. Anita, the woman he once loved, the woman who disappeared without a word. Victor stared at her speechless. His mind was spinning. He hadn’t seen her in over 7 years. She vanished when things were hard. He thought she left because of poverty.
• Because he couldn’t give her the life she deserved. He searched everywhere for her, went to her family. But they said they hadn’t seen her. He called every number he had. Nothing, no note, no explanation. But now here she was, a beggar on the street with two twin boys. Victor took another step forward, eyes still locked on her.

EPISODE: 2

• Why? Why did you leave?” he asked, voice low, “what happened to you.” Her lips trembled. She pushed the boys gently behind her and whispered. “Please go. Don’t come near us.” Victor blinked. “I just want to talk. I said leave,” she snapped. Her voice was sharp, shaky. “Go back to your big car, your rich life. We don’t belong in your world.” People started looking. A few hawkers slowed down. Victor stepped back, confused.
• Anita, are those my children? She didn’t answer. He looked at the boys again. Their eyes, they looked like his. Same nose, same skin tone, same tired seriousness he carried when he was a child. He was shaking now. She grabbed the boy’s hands and hurried off. Victor stood frozen for a moment, then quickly paid for the plantain, jumped into his car, and told the driver, “Follow that woman slowly. Don’t let her see us. They followed from a distance.
• Anita didn’t take the main road. She cut through narrow alleys, crossed a small, dirty stream on a wooden plank, and walked into a forgotten part of town. Victor’s heart broke as he watched her stop in front of an abandoned building. The walls were cracked, the windows broken, the gate hung loosely like it had given up on standing.
• She entered with her sons. Victor sat in his car and stared. “This is where she’s been living.” He rested his head against the seat. His chest felt tight. That night, back in his mansion, surrounded by marble floors, chandeliers, and silence, he couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep. He sat in his home office, staring at a photo on his desk. A picture of him during his university days.
• Anita was in that photo, standing beside him, her hand on his shoulder. They were smiling, poor, but in love. He remembered the way she used to encourage him. How she would wait outside his small cyber cafe job every evening. How she would tell him, “Even if you don’t have a dime, I believe in your dreams.
• ” But she left, or so he thought. Now he wasn’t so sure. Why did she run? Why didn’t she tell him? And most importantly, were those really his sons? Victor stood from the chair, walked to the window, and looked out into the quiet night sky. One thing was certain, he wasn’t going to rest until he found out the truth. 8 years ago, life was completely different for Victor. He wasn’t a billionaire.
• He wasn’t even comfortable. He was just a struggling young man with a big dream and a small laptop. Victor lived in a one- room apartment in Ajagunlay. The walls were cracked, the ceiling leaked during rainy season, and the fan made more noise than wind. But he didn’t care because he had Anita.
• and Anita made that small room feel like heaven. She was his peace in the middle of chaos. Victor had started a small tech hustle, building websites, managing social media pages for shops and small businesses. Most times, clients refused to pay. Some would owe him for months. Still, Anita always believed in him.

EPISODE: 3

• She would bring him food from her mother’s house, rice, stew, sometimes beans, and dairy. She never complained. She would even stay up late, sitting beside him with a hand fan, chasing mosquitoes while he typed away on his laptop. Victor loved her with his whole heart. One night, as they sat outside under the moonlight, Anita held his hand and said, “I know you’ll make it. I don’t know how.
• I don’t know when, but I believe in you, Victor.” Those words stayed with him even during the darkest days. When people mocked him, when clients insulted him. when he had to borrow money just to survive. He would remember her words and they kept him going. Victor had promised her, “One day I’ll take you away from all this. You’ll never suffer again.
• ” They talked about the future often, about building a home together, having kids, starting a business. Anita once said she wanted twin boys. They both laughed and joked about what their names would be. Then suddenly, one day, she was gone. Victor woke up to find her number switched off. He thought it was a network issue. But the next day, still nothing.
• He rushed to her mother’s house. They said she had left town. No explanation, no forwarding address. He went to the police. They told him to wait 48 hours. He waited, then waited more. He printed flyers, called old friends, searched Facebook, even traveled to her hometown once, but nothing. It was like she disappeared into thin air.
• He thought maybe she got tired. Maybe poverty was too much for her. Maybe she found someone richer. Victor was heartbroken. He stopped smiling. He stopped believing in love. The same woman who once called him her future had walked away without looking back. Or so he thought. He buried himself in work. Day and night he worked like a madman.
• Slept less, ate less, but coded more, hustled harder, chased every business opportunity. And slowly things began to change. His breakthrough came when he built a payment app that went viral among online vendors. Investors came. Contracts followed. He started hiring staff. Then came the big company deals. By 31, Victor was already on the cover of business magazines. He moved into a mansion, started driving luxury cars.
• He was celebrated across Nigeria. But inside, he still felt empty. No matter how many awards he won, no matter how many women tried to date him, none of it filled the space Anita left, he never loved anyone again. Not the same way. Sometimes when things got quiet, he would sit by the window of his mansion and wonder where did she go? Why did she leave without saying goodbye? He wished he could ask her even once.

EPISODE: 4

• And now, after all these years, he had seen her again. But this time, she wasn’t the happy, confident girl he knew. She was a shadow of herself, begging on the street with two children who looked just like him. Victor didn’t know whether to be angry, sad, or confused. Was she in trouble back then? Did something force her to leave? Were the twins his? Why didn’t she ever try to find him? That night, he couldn’t eat. He paced his room like a lion.
• He thought of all the people who came and went in his life, fake friends, opportunists, women who only wanted his money. But Anita, she was different. She loved him when he had nothing. And now she had nothing. Victor walked to his desk, picked up a framed photo of his younger self. It was taken at a birthday party Anita organized for him when he turned 25.
• The cake was small, but the smile on their faces was pure. “I have to see her again,” he whispered to himself. “I need to know the full truth.” His mind was made up. The next morning, before the sun even rose, Victor dressed in plain clothes, grabbed a cap, and asked his driver to take him back to that abandoned building. He didn’t know what he would say yet. But one thing was clear.
• He was not going to lose her again. Victor stood quietly beside the gate of the old broken building. It was early morning. The street was still quiet. Roosters crowed in the distance. He wore a face cap, low and simple clothes just to avoid attention. He took a deep breath and walked in. The place looked worse than it did from the outside.
• The floor was dusty, the walls full of cracks. There was no light, just faint morning sun squeezing through holes in the wall. He followed the sound of quiet voices and soon saw them, Anita and the boys in a corner of the large empty hall. She was folding a blanket. The boys were brushing their teeth with chewing sticks. They didn’t notice him yet. Victor stood there silently watching them. His heart felt heavy.
• Anita looked different now, worn out, thinner, but still graceful. She tied her wrapper tighter around her chest and turned and saw him. She froze. Victor stepped forward slowly. “Please, I’m not here to fight. I just want to talk.” Anita looked down. “You shouldn’t be here. I had to come,” Victor said gently. “I couldn’t sleep.
• Not after seeing you like this. She sat down slowly on a broken stool and sighed. What do you want from me, Victor? He looked around at the cracked walls, the broken windows, the two boys brushing beside a rusted drum. You don’t belong here, he said. This is not your life. What happened to you? Anita was quiet for a long time. Then she finally spoke.
• I didn’t leave you because I wanted to, she said. I left because I was forced to. Victor leaned forward. By who? She looked at him. Her eyes were wet. You won’t believe it. Try me. She took a deep breath. Back then when things were tough for you. Someone close to you came to me. I was already one month pregnant. I hadn’t told you yet.

EPISODE: 5

• I wanted to wait for the right time. Victor’s eyes widened. You were pregnant. Anita nodded. Yes, I was happy. I thought we would build a family together, but then your mother called me to her house. Victor blinked in shock. My mother? Anita looked him in the eye. She said I was bad luck.
• That since I came into your life, things only got worse for you. She said I was the reason you were still struggling and that if I didn’t disappear, she would have me arrested. She threatened me, Victor. Victor’s body stiffened, his jaw clenched. I was scared, she continued. I didn’t have anyone. My family had already abandoned me when they found out I was pregnant.
• Your mother looked serious. She even showed me a fake police file and said, “I’ll lock you up and nobody will find you.” I believed her. Tears ran down her face now. So, I left. I ran. I didn’t even collect my things. I just disappeared. I thought it was the only way to protect myself and the baby. Victor sat in silence. His hands were shaking.
• The boys now sat beside their mother. They looked confused but stayed quiet. Victor finally looked at the twins. “They’re mine, aren’t they?” Anita nodded slowly. “Yes, your sons.” He swallowed hard. “The truth hit him like thunder. All these years, he thought she abandoned him. Meanwhile, she was hiding, suffering, raising his children alone. “I named them Michael and Matthew,” she said softly.
• I told them their father was brave, kind, and that one day they would meet him. Victor covered his face with his hands. He didn’t know whether to cry or scream. “I wanted to find you,” Anita added. “But I had no money, no phone, nothing. I lived in people’s sheds, then here. I begged to feed them. Sometimes I sold pure water at traffic.
• Other times, I cleaned shops, but I survived for them.” Victor stood up and walked to the window, breathing heavily. He looked outside at the dirty, forgotten street, and then back at the woman who once gave him everything. “I’m sorry,” he said quietly. “I’m so sorry, Anita. I didn’t know.” She shook her head. “It’s not your fault.” “No,” he said firmly.
• “It is. I should have looked harder. I should have known something wasn’t right.” There was a long silence. The boys played with stones in the corner. Victor turned to her. I want to be part of their lives. I want to help you. Please let me. Anita looked down. I don’t want pity. It’s not pity. It’s responsibility, Victor said. And love. She looked up surprised. Yes, he said.
• I still love you, Anita. And I will not walk away this time. Her lips trembled. She held back her tears. Victor knelt down beside the boys. Hi, I’m Victor. One of them smiled. We know. Mommy told us stories about you. Victor smiled, his first real smile in years. I’d like to tell you some stories, too, if that’s okay.
• Anita watched him for the first time in a long while. She felt safe. It was a hot Wednesday afternoon 8 years ago. Anita had just returned from the market. Her face was sweaty and she carried a nylon bag with tomatoes and dry pepper. She was in Victor’s small apartment preparing food. She was smiling to herself, thinking of how to tell him the big news that evening, that she was pregnant.
• She imagined his reaction. He would be shocked at first, then happy, then start planning immediately like he always did. But before she could finish chopping onions, there was a knock on the door. Not just a knock, a loud, impatient bang. She wiped her hands, walked to the door, and opened it.
