Adwoa Mensah thought she’d outsmart fate, luring her lover Yaw Dabo to her matrimonial bed in Kumasi’s Adum while her husband, Kwame Asante, was supposedly in Accra. Their passion flared—until Kwame, a taxi driver, returned early, catching them naked. Furious, he dragged them to the living room and summoned family. His brother Kwadwo, Adwoa’s sister Akosua, and Uncle Osei arrived, shocked. “My wife betrayed me!” Kwame roared. Adwoa’s “It was a mistake!” didn’t sway them. As family debated mercy or exile, Adum buzzed with gossip. Trust shattered, Kwame held off deciding, leaving Adwoa and Yaw to face their costly thrill.
