Dear GhanaWeb: I fear for my life after an affair with my married manager

Dear GhanaWeb,

I’m a 29-year-old upcoming artiste. I sing Afrobeat mainly, but I’m still underground, hoping to break through soon.

The thing is, there’s a woman who agreed to manage me. She’s well-to-do and has connections, but in return, she wanted me to have an affair with her.

She’s a married woman, and she was even getting her husband involved in this because the man, too, has links, except she wanted me to have sex with her secretly.

We already did it a few times, and I didn’t have an issue with what she was demanding because I’m young and desperate as well.

The problem right now is the woman’s husband. The man called some days ago, and he kept insisting I tell him the truth as to whether I’m having an affair with his wife or not, or if the woman has said anything of that sort to me.

I said no, I wasn’t, and that the woman hadn’t said anything of that sort either. This man kept saying that if I don’t tell him the truth and he finds out for himself, he’ll make sure I end up in a body bag.

Meanwhile, the woman has told me before that in case her husband ever asks me that question, I should stand my ground and say no, else I’ll be in serious trouble, and that the man wouldn’t dare do anything to her but to me rather.

Right now, the woman hasn’t gotten in touch for some days. She hasn’t answered or returned my calls.

Today again, the man called and asked where I stayed, saying his wife wanted him to come and pick me up from the house, because she wanted to see me.

This woman has never asked her husband to come and pick me up before.

Ever since she met me, she has never gone a week without answering or calling me, but I haven’t heard from her since the day the man called to question me.

I left the house immediately. The woman knows my place and the way things are going, I’m suspecting that the man has an agenda and has probably done something to the woman.

I’m concerned about this. Initially, I thought she got caught and prevented from seeing me, but the man is suddenly being nice and finding a way to know where I stay.

What do I do? I am scared for myself, and I don’t know what to think anymore. How should I go about it?
