EPISODE 8: The Offer
Aisha walked into Omotola’s office like she owned the room.
She was calm, composed, almost too calm. The kind of calm that makes a storm feel closer.
Omotola looked up from her desk, instantly tense.
“I’ve come with an offer,” Aisha said, her voice smooth and controlled.
Omotola folded her arms slightly. “I’m listening.”
Aisha placed a neat envelope on the table and pushed it forward.
“One condition,” she said, her eyes steady on Omotola’s.
“Walk away from him.”
For a moment, the words just hung there in the air.
Aisha continued speaking as if it were a simple business discussion. She described Tade as unstable. Vindictive. A man who destroys things when he feels cornered.
“You don’t really know him,” she added calmly. “Not the way I do.”
Omotola felt something shift inside her. A small seed of doubt tried to push its way in, but she straightened her shoulders.
This wasn’t just about feelings anymore.
Aisha opened the envelope. Inside were contract papers, neatly arranged.
Partnership. Distribution. Protection for her brand. Access to networks that could take her business far beyond where it was now.
Security.
A future without chaos.
But the condition was clear.
Tade had to disappear from her life.
Omotola held the papers in her hand, the envelope trembling slightly.
Her mind raced.
Love… or business security?
A risky love that came with enemies and uncertainty…
Or a safe empire built on walking away from him.
