A Corpse and a Can of Worms

By Maximus Clement

When Beauty's life is cut short, her fianc , Col Sam, is left shattered. But as he delves into the investigation, he uncovers a web of secrets and lies that threaten to destroy everything he thought he knew about the woman he loved. A shocking revelation - a pregnancy she kept hidden, and a betrayal that cuts deep - sets Col Sam on a path of discovery, forcing him to confront the darkest corners of Beauty's life. As the truth unravels, Col Sam must confront his own demons and decide whether to seek justice or forgiveness. Will the truth about Beauty's final days be enough to heal his broken heart, or will it only serve to deepen the wound?

The story is set in contemporary Nigeria where the society is fast evolving and wanton lovers trudge the streets and are spread in all corners seeking to be caught in the net of an unsuspecting prey. No one is sure about their partner, especially those kind of ladies who lay out rules on first dates. The author uses the story to narrate his own experience in fiction style within the context of the Nigeria romantic environment as it is today vis- -vis the crime essence it may be tainted with.
