In an adult contemporary romance novel set in Accra, the capital city of Ghana. A car hire driver, Don, and Abena, a beautician and hair stylist, unintentionally met, fell in love, and went on a whirlwind romantic journey until they started falling apart due to a perceived affair between Abena and a "Big Man" under the guise of assisting her to travel abroad. What happens next is quite shocking to Don. Can he really carry on the relationship with Abena?
"But good old Mike's adrenaline seems much more pumped up than mine. I am supposed to be hyped up and pissed off, and not Mike, my friend, but in a strange kind of way, I was not. There was a sense of relief within me; that is, I had finally caught Abena. So, I could relax and confront her next time that we meet together, hopefully soon.
Before we realised they had done another detour to some off-road, towards Osu Ako-Adjei school park, our situation was that we had just a small saloon car, Mr. Joe had a big SUV 4x4 vehicle, and obviously we were no match for them, but my mad co-pilot won't accept that reality. He just kept edging me on; he told me to cut a corner and drive through the park like a short cut to meet them at the other end of the road because he knew their next move. I did not pass through the park; Mike was giving instructions on how to drive his small 1.8-litre engine car to keep up with a 4.6-litre gigantic Toyota Land Cruiser.
Inside my head, I was thinking what was going on was not right; maybe I should just stop the car and let them get away. It all seems surreal, as if we were on some kind of movie shoot. I asked myself why I was actually doing this. Am I under the influence of my buddy Mike? Yes, my trusted buddy was pushing me into the abyss. So, we kept the pace up a bit but suddenly slowed down as if they were about to stop. We were just around Abena's residential area, and there was a gap of about 50 metres between us when they suddenly stopped in front of a house."
