Trophy Husband

The excruciating pain of heartbreak and betrayal, coupled with the shame of being mocked and scorned by society lead a girl to make an irrational marriage decision. She seeks revenge against her cheating fiancé, Dafe and her backstabbing friend. She seeks ‘escape’ from the mocking eyes of a society that shames and stigmatizes the victim while silently hailing the perpetrator. Vengeance! It turns out to be a war against self. Isio, the protagonist accepts an arranged marriage to Okẹmẹ, the charming and purportedly rich heir apparent to the Irikefe ‘dynasty’. He lives in London. Marrying him should hurt Dafe, and shield her from the humiliation of jesters. And the icing on the cake, she will join the league of revered ladies who have ‘been to the abroad’, inọko, in local parlance. Living in inọko is a huge part of many girls’ dream fulfilment…but whatever awaits her in London? Isio is a metaphor for many girls and their struggles to get the dating game and marriage right. A good number get emotionally wounded, but with unshakeable faith in God, they triumph.
