James and Linda were University sweethearts in 2015. For Linda to prove commitment to John, she got pregnant. Unfortunately, James was not thrilled, he knew Cavendish University Uganda would expel him for indiscipline and therefore denied the pregnancy. Linda dropped out of university, went back to her village and gave birth to twin babies Eriana and Ethan. James was recently posted to Mbale district as the CAO. When he reported to his new office, he was shocked to find Linda as his secretary. He has since inquired and has found out that Linda is married to a very rich businessman in Mbale. Linda also gave 'his' babies to this businessman as his own. When he saw the twins, he was shocked by the resemblance to him.
