He can't walk away, especially after finding out that she has lost all memory of who she is. Adedayo does something that many Nigerians might consider foolish - he brings her home with him. Despite several attempts to uncover her true identity, he was unable to find any information about her. As time passed, he found himself becoming more and more entwined with her life. When friends, co-workers, and members of their church began to question their relationship, Adedayo decided to make her his wife in order to provide a label for their cohabitation. Although he told himself that this was the only reason, he knew deep down that his feelings for her went beyond convenience. If only loving her was enough to make her his for eternity, but it wasn't. Now, Adedayo is about to learn the hard truth as their marital bliss is disrupted. *** If you enjoyed my story 'When The Sun Sets In The East', click 'read' and save it to your library.
