The mansion stood proudly at the edge of the city, its golden gates shining beneath the afternoon sun. From the outside, Richard and Vanessa’s life looked perfect. Luxury cars lined the driveway, servants polished every surface until it gleamed, and visitors spoke of the couple as if they were blessed beyond measure. But behind those gates, peace had long since disappeared.
Richard was a powerful politician, feared by many. Money flowed into his hands like a river, not through honesty, but through corruption. He took bribes, diverted public funds, and pocketed money meant for the poor. In public, allies praised him. In private, they called him ruthless.
That afternoon, Richard left the governor’s office carrying a thick brown envelope under his arm. It contained millions meant for community projects, schools, and boreholes. But he had no intention of letting a single coin reach the people. As he settled into the back seat of his car, he smiled, already imagining how he would spend it.
Instead of going home, he drove to a hotel across the city.
A glass of whiskey was waiting for him, and so was Anita, one of his many mistresses, dressed in a silk gown that clung to her body. She welcomed him with a kiss, her perfume heavy in the air.
“To your success,” she said, lifting her glass.
Richard chuckled and clinked his drink against hers. “Success indeed. Abuja is waiting for me tomorrow. Three days of comfort. No stress. No nagging wife.”
They both laughed as the night dissolved into pleasure.
Richard’s phone buzzed again and again. He glanced at the screen.
Vanessa.
He ignored the calls, tossed the phone aside, and reached for Anita again.
Back at the mansion, Vanessa lay awake in the vast empty bed. The silk sheets felt cold. She stared up at the chandelier casting long shadows across the ceiling and picked up her phone once more. She called Richard again. And again. And again.
No answer.
She was no fool. She knew where he was. Richard had always been unfaithful. She had smelled unfamiliar perfume on his shirts, seen strange numbers on his phone, and heard whispers among the staff. Still, every disappearance cut her deeply.
