Farouq, another player in the Lagos game, emerged just as Amaka thought she could finally move forward. He was a politician's son, living off daddy's money, and always involved in one scandal or another. Farouq and Dotun had crossed paths in the same circle of "businessmen" who were always on the hunt for the next big scam. When Dotun's life started crumbling, Farouq was there to pick up the pieces—or rather, to manipulate him further into his own schemes.

Farouq was dangerous in a different way from Dotun and Tosin. He had power, connections, and no conscience. He didn't need to scam women for money; he could buy anyone, and his interests were bigger than the petty games others played. But that didn't make him less of a threat. In fact, it made him worse. He could take people down in one move, destroy lives with the flick of a finger, and he enjoyed it. Lagos was his playground, and everyone else were pawns in his hands.

Amaka's life became a tangled web of lies, sex, and betrayal. Dotun begged her for forgiveness, claiming Elizabeth was just a way to secure his future, but Amaka had already been sucked too deep into the vortex of Lagos madness. Tosin continued to play the best friend, sneaking behind Dotun's back while keeping up appearances, all while using her money for his own gain.

Amaka soon realized that in Lagos, love came with a price. The men were wolves in designer clothing, ready to pounce on any woman who let her guard down. Whether it was Dotun, Tosin, or even Damola—there was always a game being played. Every promise came with conditions. Every smile hid an agenda.

She couldn't escape.

But maybe she didn't have to.

Perhaps it was time for Amaka to become the hunter.
