Some men have scary audacity Some women are scary and crazy
What happens when these types tie the knot? What happens when love brings out the dangerous side of those who claim to love each other because they use love as a fuel or an excuse for their inherent selfishness?
There’s a thin line between love and lunacy. Adesuwa jumped over that line after Mide’s betrayal in their marriage. When they say hell hath no fury than a woman scorned, they did not exaggerate. You’re marrying the version of your lover that both of you have not met yet. And it comes with consequences.
Adesuwa & Mide found love in an unexpected place. The corridor leading to the Central Research Laboratory that housed the ‘APIN’ Lab, where Adesuwa worked in the College of Medicine, University of Lagos/Lagos University Teaching Hospital. Their love started soft, was therapeutic, enviable. Adesuwa and Mide would give up anything for each other. They would do whatever it took to keep what they shared. Even when the challenges that followed marriage came, they were a team.
However, we do not know what we are capable of when we are put to the test. Some words that cannot be taken back are spoken. Silence lingers in place of communication. Mistakes are made. Wrong decisions are taken. And Adesuwa chose vengeance. But they are stuck forever, as long as Adesuwa can keep the secret of her vengeance protected.
Between Love and Lunacy is a short story that questions everything you ever thought love and obsession was about.
