Chapter 2 The secret

Sophie and Jack's relationship was the envy of all their friends. However, Sophie had a secret. She had been seeing someone else behind Jack's back. It had started as a harmless flirtation, but it had quickly turned into something more. She knew it was wrong, but she couldn't help herself.

Sophie had met Michael at a work conference in Abuja. Michael was charming, funny, and handsome. He had a way of making Sophie feel alive in a way that Jack never had. They had hit it off immediately, and before she knew it, they were exchanging phone numbers.

At first, Sophie tried to resist Michael's advances. She loved Jack, and she didn't want to hurt him. But Michael was persistent, and he knew just what to say to make her feel special. He told her things that Jack had never said, and he made her feel like she was the only woman in the world.

Sophie knew what she was doing was wrong, but she couldn't help herself. She started meeting Michael in secret, lying to Jack about where she was going. She felt guilty, but she couldn't stop.

As time went on, Sophie's relationship with Michael became more and more intense. They would spend hours on the phone, talking about everything and nothing. They would meet in secret, stealing kisses and holding hands. Sophie was falling for Michael, and she knew it was only a matter of time before she got caught.

Sophie tried to end things with Michael, but he wouldn't let her go. He told her that he loved her, and that he couldn't live without her. Sophie was torn. She loved Jack, but she also loved Michael. She didn't know what to do.

Sophie's secret was eating away at her. She knew that she had to tell Jack the truth, but she didn't know how he would react. She was afraid that he would never forgive her, and that she would lose him forever. But she also knew that she couldn't keep living a lie. She had to come clean.
