Marriage should not feel like a competition between two people who are supposed to be on the same team. 💍

Instead of constantly counting who did more, learn to appreciate each other's efforts and discuss what feels unfair.

Both partners deserve to feel valued.

Question: In marriage, should everything be divided equally, or should couples contribute according to their circumstances?

Episode 27: The Truth Comes to Light

Written by AJ’s World ✍️📌

Jimmy Akorede sat in the interrogation room, crying uncontrollably after confessing to Temi’s murder.

Detective Adewale ordered that his confession be documented and that the three men who participated in the killing be charged alongside him.

The fourth young man, who had insisted from the beginning that he had only come to visit his friends, was questioned again. Jimmy and the three men confirmed that he had no part in the murder. After the police verified their statements, he was released.

Meanwhile, the investigation finally established that Sewa had nothing to do with Temi’s death.

The following morning, Detective Adewale called Sewa and her mother to the station.

“Miss Adebayo,” he said, looking directly at her, “we have uncovered the truth about Temi’s murder. You are no longer a suspect. You are free to go.”

Sewa stared at him, struggling to understand his words.

“Sir, are you saying I didn't kill Temi?”

“Yes. We have evidence identifying the people responsible. Your name has been cleared.”

Her knees weakened as tears filled her eyes. For months, she had carried the pain of being accused of murdering someone who had once been her closest friend.

Her mother immediately pulled her into an embrace.

“My daughter, I told you the truth would come out,” she whispered, crying alongside her.

“Mummy, everybody looked at me like I was a murderer. Even when I tried to explain myself, nobody wanted to listen.”

“I know, my child. But you are going home today. Let us thank God that the truth has finally come out.”

Sewa held her mother tightly and wept.

Outside the station, Damilare was waiting for them. The moment he saw Sewa, he walked towards her.

“I'm so sorry you had to go through all this,” he said.

Sewa wiped her tears. “I just wanted someone to believe me.”

“I believed you,” he replied quietly. “And now everyone will know the truth.”

But the news did not end there.

Detective Adewale ensured that the evidence against Jimmy and the three assassins was forwarded for prosecution. The messages, payment records, and their statements had exposed the lecturer who had arranged Temi’s death simply because she threatened to reveal his secret.

When the news reached Temi’s family, Bisola broke down.

“So my sister was killed because she discovered something she wasn't supposed to see?” she cried.

Their mother held Temi’s photograph against her chest.

“My daughter will never come back,” she said through tears. “But at least the person who took her away will answer for it.”

Kemi also learned that Sewa had been cleared. Overwhelmed with guilt, she went to see her.

“Sewa, I'm sorry,” she said, her eyes lowered. “I accused you because I was angry and confused. I thought you might have done it, but I never actually saw you kill Temi.”

Sewa looked at her for a long moment.

“You know how much I loved Temi, Kemi. Losing her was already painful enough. Being accused of killing her made everything worse.”

“I know. I was wrong, and I regret it.”

Sewa sighed.

“I can't pretend those words didn't hurt me, but I hope we can all learn from what happened.”

Kemi nodded, tears running down her cheeks.

As the days passed, the truth spread across the university. The same people who had whispered Sewa’s name in accusation now learned that she had been innocent all along.

However, another troubling discovery was waiting to be addressed.

During the investigation, the police came across concerning information on Tomiwa’s phone suggesting that she had wanted both Sewa and Temi out of the picture.

Although there was no evidence linking her to Temi’s murder, Detective Adewale knew those messages could not simply be ignored.

He ordered further investigation into Tomiwa’s own actions.

Tomiwa had no idea that her secrets were about to catch up with her.

And while Sewa was finally beginning to breathe again, the final chapter of the case was approaching.

TO BE CONTINUED…

# # # THE ROOMMATE — ACCUSED OF MURDER

Episode 26: The Confession

Written by AJ’s World ✍️📌

Mr. Jimmy Akorede sat opposite Detective Adewale, trying to maintain the confidence he had displayed since his arrival at the station.

“You heard what these men have said,” Detective Adewale began. “They said you paid them to murder Temi Ogunleye. What do you have to say?”

“I have told you everything I don't know those men,” he insisted. “They are criminals trying to drag my name into their mess.”

Detective Adewale placed a phone on the table.

“Then perhaps you can explain these messages.”

Jimmy glanced at the screen. His expression changed immediately.

One message read:

Make sure she comes out. Use Damilare’s name. She must not suspect anything.

Another read:

Once the job is done, you will receive the remaining payment. Nobody must know I was involved.

Jimmy swallowed hard.

“Where did you get that phone?” he asked.

“That is not the question, Mr. Akorede. The question is why messages connected to Temi’s murder are on it.”

For several weeks, the detective confronted him with the evidence and the statements given by the three men who had carried out the killing. His denials grew weaker as the evidence against him mounted.

Eventually, Jimmy lowered his head.

“Fine,” he whispered. “I paid them.”

Detective Adewale leaned forward. “Why? Why would you arrange the murder of an innocent young woman?”

Jimmy closed his eyes briefly before speaking.

“Temi discovered something about me that I couldn't allow anyone to know. She caught me sleeping with a 200-level male student in my office when she came to submit a project work I had given her class. She was shocked by what she saw, and she threatened to expose me.”

He paused, his voice shaking.

“I was afraid of losing my job, my career, and everything I had worked for. I couldn't bear the thought of the university finding out. So, I decided to silence her forever which i regret."

I'm sorry please, i don't want to go to jail.

He cried.

Detective Adewale stared at him in disbelief.

“So, because Temi caught you doing something wrong and threatened to expose you, you decided to take her life? You planned her murder just to protect your job?”

Jimmy remained silent.

“You took an innocent young woman's life to protect your reputation,” the detective said coldly. “Now, you will face the consequences of your actions.

Jimmy had nothing left to say.

He was just crying.

His confession was documented, and the evidence was prepared for the next stage of the investigation. The three men who had participated in Temi’s murder would also face serious charges.

Meanwhile, Sewa was still waiting for the truth to emerge. She had endured humiliation, suspicion, and the pain of being accused of killing someone who had once been her closest friend.

She had no idea that the man responsible for Temi’s death had finally confessed.

Soon, the truth would reach her—and her name would finally be cleared.

TO BE CONTINUED…

THE ROOMMATE — ACCUSED OF MURDER

Episode 25

Written by AJ’s World ✍️📌

Detective Adewale stared at the young man sitting before him.

“I'm asking you again for the last time.Who paid you to kill Temi?”

The young man trembled, his eyes moving nervously between the detective and the officer standing beside the door.

“Sir, it was Mr. Jimmy Akorede (Not real name) He was the one who paid us to kill Temi.”

Detective Adewale froze.

For a moment, he stared at the young man, wondering if he had heard correctly.

“Mr. Jimmy Akorede?” he repeated.

“Yes, sir. The lecturer.”

Shock ran through the detective's entire body. He had never imagined that a lecturer at the university would be connected to such a brutal crime.

But he didn't waste another second.

He stood up, grabbed his file, and called the officers into the room.

“Get ready. We're going to bring Mr. Jimmy Akorede in.”

Within minutes, Detective Adewale and his team were on their way to the university.

When they arrived, they found the lecturer in his office, seated behind his desk and going through some documents.

“Good afternoon, Mr. Akorede,” Detective Adewale greeted.

The lecturer looked up. “Good afternoon, officers. Is there a problem?”

“Yes, sir. We need you to accompany us to the station concerning the murder of Temi Ogunleye.”

The lecturer's expression changed slightly.

“Temi? What does her death have to do with me?”

“You will have the opportunity to explain that at the station. Please come with us.”

Mr. Akorede stared at the detective for a moment before slowly standing up. He tried to maintain his composure, but a flicker of unease crossed his face.

At the station, Detective Adewale led him into the interrogation room.

The moment Mr. Akorede stepped inside and saw the four young men seated there, he stopped walking.

For a brief second, his composure slipped.

His eyes moved from one young man to another. One of them immediately looked away.

Detective Adewale noticed everything.

“Do you know these men, Mr. Akorede?” he asked.

The lecturer quickly recovered.

“No, Detective. I've never seen them before.”

One of the young men let out a bitter laugh.

“Sir, you don't know us?”

Mr. Akorede turned sharply towards him.

“Watch your mouth! I don't know what you're talking about.”

“You came to us. You gave us Temi's information. You paid us to kill her, and now you're standing here pretending you don't know us?”

“That's a lie!” the lecturer snapped.

Detective Adewale slammed the file onto the table.

“Enough! Mr. Akorede, these men have identified you as the person who paid them to murder Temi. They have also described how they used Damilare's name to lure her out.”

The lecturer's face tightened.

“You cannot accuse me of such a terrible crime based on the words of criminals!”

“Then you will have the opportunity to respond to the allegations,” the detective replied firmly.

Mr. Akorede straightened his shirt and looked around the room, trying to regain control of the situation.

But Detective Adewale had noticed the moment he walked in and saw the men. His surprise had been brief, but it was unmistakable.

And the young men were no longer looking at him with the confidence they had shown earlier.

One of them leaned forward.

“Sir, you told us nobody would ever connect you to this. You said everything would be settled once the girl was gone.”

“Shut up!” Mr. Akorede shouted.

The room fell silent.

Detective Adewale slowly turned towards the lecturer.

“Interesting. You said you didn't know these men. Yet you seem very concerned about what they have to say.”

For the first time, Mr. Akorede had no immediate answer.

Detective Adewale signalled to the officers.

“Keep him here. Nobody leaves this room until we've established the truth.”

The lecturer sat down, his face hardening as he realised that the situation was no longer under his control.

Temi's murder had finally led the police to the man accused of ordering it.

But would Mr. Jimmy Akorede continue denying everything, or would one of the men reveal something that could destroy his defence?

TO BE CONTINUED…

Question for readers: Did Mr. Akorede make a mistake by pretending not to know the men, or does he still have something up his sleeve? 👀

THE ROOMMATE — ACCUSED OF MURDER

Episode 24: The Interrogation

Written by AJ’s World ✍️📌

“Sir, the truth is, I am innocent. I only came to visit my friends. I know nothing about the murder case.”

Detective Adewale stared at the young man, his jaw tightening.

“Then explain why the phone number we traced to your house contacted Temi shortly before her death.”

“I don't know, sir.”

“Who owns the phone?”

One of the other men answered, “It's ours, sir, but we didn't use it to contact anyone sir.

Detective Adewale turned to him.

“You share a phone, yet none of you knows who used it to contact a young woman who was later found murdered?”

The room fell silent.

The detective placed Temi's photograph on the table.

“Look at her carefully. Do you know this girl?”

None of them answered.

“Someone used that phone to call her. Someone sent her a message asking her to meet a person named Dami. She left, and shortly afterwards, she was found dead. Now tell me who used this phone.”

“We don't know anything about her, sir,” one of them replied.

Detective Adewale slammed his hand on the table.

“Enough! You are not helping yourselves by lying!”

He ordered the men to be separated and questioned individually. Hours passed, but their stories remained inconsistent. One claimed he had barely used the phone. Another insisted he had been away when the message was sent. The third refused to answer questions directly.

The fourth man, the one who had claimed he was innocent and had only come to visit his friends, maintained his position.

“Sir, I have told you everything I know. I don't know anything about the murder case sir.

Detective Adewale was unconvinced, but he made a note of the man's statement. He wasn't ready to accept any of their explanations without evidence.

The questioning continued late into the day. The officers had to torture and use physical force against the men, hoping to make them reveal the truth. One of the suspects eventually broke down, but even then, he still do not want to confess to the murder.

When Detective Adewale entered the room, the young man sat with his head bowed.

“Have you decided to stop wasting my time?” the detective asked.

“Sir, please, I don't want to go to jail.

“Then tell me what happened. Who contacted Temi? Who sent that message? And who arranged the meeting?”

The young man rubbed his face nervously.

“I didn't send the message myself, sir.”

Detective Adewale pulled his chair closer.

“Who did?”

The young man looked towards the door before answering.

“Someone paid us to do the job.”

The detective's expression hardened.

“ Which job?”

The young man swallowed.

“We were given information about a girl named Temi. We were told how to contact her and what name to use so she would agree to meet us.”

“Who gave you that information?”

I can't tell sir.”

Detective Adewale stood up abruptly.

“A young woman is dead! You don't get to decide which parts of the truth you want to tell me. Who paid you?”

The young man trembled, but his lips remained sealed.

The detective ordered the officers to continue the investigation and verify every detail. He knew he was getting closer, but he needed more than a partial admission.

Before the interrogation ended, the young man finally spoke again.

“Sir, the person who paid us wasn't the one who called Temi. We did. We were told to use Damilare's name because she would be more likely to come if she believed he wanted to see her.”

Detective Adewale froze.

“So you deliberately used another man's name to lure her out?”

The young man lowered his head.

“Yes, sir.”

“Who instructed you to do that?”

The suspect remained silent.

Detective Adewale stared at him, knowing that the most important question had yet to be answered.

Who had paid these men to lure Temi into a deadly trap—and why?

TO BE CONTINUED…

Question for readers: Who do you think was behind the plan to lure Temi out using Damilare's name? 👀
