Episode 3: The Ex Files
Kunle's heart skipped a beat. Ex? His urgent wife had an ex? Already, his life was a full-blown action movie, and he was the unwilling hero.
Amara's phone kept ringing, buzzing like a warning siren. She ignored it—until her father, impatient and suspicious, snatched it from her hand.
"Who is this young man calling you?" he demanded.
Amara gulped. "Daddy… he's… he's my ex-boyfriend. And he's… complicated."
Kunle's jaw nearly hit the floor. "Complicated? You mean… the kind that comes to fight me?"
Before Amara could answer, a shiny car screeched into the compound. Everyone turned as a man in a leather jacket stepped out. Handsome, tall, and looking like trouble in human form—this was Taye, the ex.
He strode up with a confident smirk. "Amara… I see you've moved on," he said, eyes scanning Kunle.
Kunle stepped forward, voice trembling, "Excuse me… moved on? Who are you?"
Taye's grin widened. "I should ask you the same thing, Mr. Husband-for-a-Day."
Amara's mother gasped. "Husband… for a day?"
Kunle's mother muttered, "This is exactly why I don't approve of rushing marriages!"
Taye turned to Amara. "So… why did you call me back after all these years?"
Amara swallowed. "I didn't. I wanted… a fake husband to keep you away."
Kunle's eyes widened. "Fake husband? Wait—I'm fake?"
Taye laughed. "Yes… apparently, you've been promoted to bodyguard-husband. Lucky you."
The air was tense. Kunle realized he had to make a choice—fight for Amara's chaotic heart, or run and hide forever.
And then Amara, bold as ever, grabbed Kunle's hand. "Kunle… you might be urgent, but today… I need you to be brave."
Kunle looked at her, then at Taye, then at the crowd of parents glaring like they were ready to fight a war.
He straightened his shoulders. "Fine… let's do this. Together."
And so began the ultimate showdown: Kunle vs. The Ex, in a battle full of drama, secrets, and very urgent love.
