"And the winner is Wizkid!!" 2face and his wife Annie Idibia announce the winner for the artiste of the year. I stood up admist cheers and went to the stage to claim the award.

It was the night of the Headies award, the most prestigious music award in my country. I didn't want to come but they begged and paid more than well for me to be here. In honesty I don't like awards shows but had to because of the stupid deal.

"Thank you for this award, I'm dedicating to my wife Aaliyah and our baby. Thank you." I walked away from the stage to the backstage.

Kenny ran up to me, he collects the awards and gave me my phone and a red cup.

I unlock my phone and texted Aaliyah again.

Me - wifey?
Me - talk to me, I'm sorry okay?
Me - baby?
Me - Aaliyah?

I've called more a hundred time but it kept going to voicemail, I even texted her girls to ask after Aaliyah, none of them gave me any useful information. I drank the burning liquor and face Kenny.

"I'm ready to go" I told him.

"Okay I'll call Roy" he say gesturing for me to sit down.

Few people came to greet me or congratulate me, I hugged most and took pictures. The last time I attended the headies was five years ago and it was still the same.

"Wizkid!!"

I turn towards Tiwa, we used to be friends until I met Aaliyah and got married.

I smile at her. "Hey Tiwa."

Tiwa smile and hug me. "Wizkid! I never thought I'd see the day you'd come to the headies" she joked.

"Funny" only if she knew that I was bribed to attend it.

"How are you?" Tiwa pat my shoulder, "how's Aaliyah congratulations on the baby."

I gave her an half smile, "she's good and thank you. How's Jamal?" I ask referring to her son. As she went into details I stare at my phone thinking of Aaliyah. Why did she block me???

"Wizkid?" Tiwa taps my shoulder.

I blink and look at her. "Huh? What were you saying?"

Tiwa laugh. "Your mind is far away" she smile. "Thinking of Aaliyah?"she tilt her head.

I pause my lips. "You can say so" I saw Kenny mouthing that we could leave now.

I smile at Tiwa, "It was nice to see you again but I have to leave now" I didn't wait for her response before fleeing down the room. I dodge the remaining people trying to talk to me with smiles and waves. I needed to get out of here fast and quick.

Arriving at my hotel room, I did my hygiene and sat on my bed. I tried texting Aaliyah again still no response. I buried my head in my hands, She hates me now!! What was I going to do? I click on the last text she sent before blocking my number.

Wifey ❤️ - You fucking won the headies and your ass didn't tell me? You own wife? That's corny as fuck Ayo!! Don't bother coming back, cos I'm done with your lying cheating ass! You leave your pregnant wife by her self and go off to party! I hate you 🖕
