Echoes of Betrayal Anisha Namutowe

After thirteen years of marriage, Susan comes clean to her husband Melvin about an affair she had two years prior. What ensues is a rollercoaster ride that threatens to completely tear their family apart. Did she do it out of revenge? This is the one question that Melvin grapples with as he tries to come to terms with how his good-natured and once faithful wife changed. Can he forgive and forget? Can he love a woman whose heart was swayed by another, even if it was just for a short while? Is she worth fighting for? As Melvin tries to come to terms with Susan's revelations, he can't help but wonder if his past actions, or lack thereof, have something to do with the storm that his marriage is currently facing. Isaac and Hilary's six-year-old marriage comes to a screeching halt when Hilary learns about her husband's affair with the married Susan. With their marriage already marred in scars of infertility, can this couple possibly survive this new storm? Is it really true that some sins cannot be forgiven? Is there even such a thing as an 'innocent or pure affair?' What is one to do when family and religion demand that divorce isn't an option for a couple that's run out of love for each other? Bernard and Hilda are a couple that was doomed to fail from the very beginning, yet the two insist on defying logic and fate by staying together. Is love enough to make any relationship work? What role does nurture and nature play in the development of one's character? Is it the number of years spent in a relationship, or the life lived in those years that matters the most? Can there be a happy ending for a couple that's willing to defy all odds to be together? Is there such a thing as meant to be? Could this be the beginning of the end for the couples, or the end of the beginning?
