“If indeed they divorced you, daughter, then this is the best news of my life,” Mother opened her arms for an embrace.

When I glared at her I could see the cloud of fulfilled excitement that possessed her brow; her eyes were inflamed with joy so unspeakable that I wondered if she knew the conditions surrounding the divorce.

I withheld myself and fondled with my smallish finger, “But we have a problem. Mother,” I sounded and raised my gaze at her to see the smiles on her face glower into a frown. Her jaw sagged and I wondered if it was safe to let her know the huge debt on us right now and if letting her know of it could lead to high blood pressure, considering her age.

She winked nervously and peered at me as though I wasn’t too sure of my words,“What other problem could be greater than marrying that insane man?” she smiled cheek to cheek and intoned yet further, “You don’t know what God just did for you, do you? We don’t need them anymore. We have earned their money. I am hale and he

    Mother could stay home now since I was back to our trade. Taking care of the garden had been her priority. She had the talent of chasing away heavily mustached rams that feasted on our green garden and trapping stubborn birds that deposited their beaks upon the leafy vegetables, leaving us with little or nothing to sell.Times on end I often recalled the picture of Brian in my wallet, and I wondered what was stopping me from discarding that picture; since I had nothing to do with Brian anymore it was literally normal for me to discard anything that belonged to him; about the other night I was abandoned to smiling at his photo until I relived the little time I spent with him; his maddening shouting and his song I sang just to quell his violence; how he unburden himself on my shoulders.I could remember snapping out of such memory. “Good bye Brian! Good bye!” I had whispered coldly and sucked a deep breath to seal up my stand.With the huge tray of vegetables on my head, I was out to my

    Hours dragged by and I was still in heated argument with my mother; the embarrassment was too much now that I barely could come out for fresh air without being hounded with questions bordering on my failed marriage with Brian.“Mother! I am never going to return to that market again. I am done trading there. You just have to see reasons with me please.” I nagged and caught those tears in my palms.Mother nursed me with her accommodating blue eyes and came to my side to rub me on the shoulders.“My daughter,” she called, caught my face to stare into it, “You seem to be at war with someone. Did anybody rattle your cage at the market? Speak this minute and I promise to go against such a fellow! Otherwise I see no reason you shouldn’t go to the market since you know our means of livelihood lies there.” “Everybody, mother! Everybody!” I wailed and gazed upon my hands which I fondled with, “I have become a laughing stock in my own land. Everyone sees me as a gold digger. I am being hated a

    Angry, Fanny ordered the security to bundle up Brian and put him in the Lamborghini, because he was about to be put in the custody of the home for the insane. This was a deliberate attempt to put Brian in the rightful care and to avert impending loss and damage to life and property.Quickly Eva went down on her knees and molded her hand in a remorseful plea. She sniffed repeatedly before feeling the tears that line up in her eyes. Her nose wrinkled at such a development and this was going to leave her more devastated than anyone else because she and Brian had grown up together and did virtually everything together while Opula and Kate stayed away from home; with their grandmother, precisely. Her voice shrilled with peril and hurt, “Please, father! Do not take such a harsh decision on your only son; Brian will only grow worse if you should devote him to home for the insane. Over there I learnt that things are not done aright. Insane inmates are subjected to perpetual slavery and hunge

    Eva had narrowly earned herself a slot in Fanny’s limo, and together they drove Brian, who was in Lamborghini to home for the insane.

They had bound him hands and feet and one of the security whose job was to whip him whenever he ranted did it with sheer anger that his whole body decked with blisters.Eva had been all tears, quiet and skeptical to a sort. Although she had the company of Fanny, yet she was swallowed in solitude all through the time they stayed in the limo. She fondled into her bag and caught hold of his sizable picture; it was the one they had when they were kids, and it was in the occasion of getting to school for the first time. She was chuckling next to Brian who gave a toothless smile.When Fanny glared at Eva, he knew she had something in her possession which she had been staring all this while. But he didn’t know what it was until he heard her sob and fondled with the piece. It was a sizable picture

    Suddenly the limo and the Lamborghini screeched into the villa and the host of the girls and their husbands scuttled to the window to see the people alighting from the cars.“What the hell is happening here?” Kate asked Opula whose widened gaze was at Brian. “Why are they back with him? Sister can you see that?” she asked in the most amiable manner as though Opula wasn’t seeing properly.Opula who writhed in pain, narrowed her gaze at Brian as the security dragged him with reserved stubbornness. “Perhaps they forgot something. Let it not be what I am thinking,” Opula whispered and clenched her jaw as she shot her gloomy eyes at Eva.“Really? Are sure you this Eva of a girl hasn’t convinced father against our wish?” she queried and rolled her eyes at Eva who was staring at Brian being dragged into the mansion.Once they advanced into the ball room, Kate asked swiftly, “Father!” Kate called upon beholding Fanny, Eva and Brian almost entering their respective chambers. “You weren’t suppo

    All eyes fell on me once I cheered up and sniffed heavily. Already the police men had entered the hospital and advanced towards us with an investigative countenance and scowled faces which struck us with silence and suspicion.“Why is police in my hospital?” doctor bill queried anxiously and settled his suspicious gaze on me, “I can’t recall inviting the police to my hospital. Who could have invited the police?”There was a hush of silence when the police detective surged closer and queried everyone with his scarcely familiar look which had so much gloom.“Good evening, doctor,” the detective greeted warmly and shot his dark eyes at us, “We got an urgent phone call from this hospital. The voice couldn’t speak out but we traced the phone call to this hospital. The police detective said to Doctor Bill with so much expectation for an explanation, “Perhaps you may know who did.”“I did, detective,” my voice sounded with an iota of confidence and conviction, “I made the phone call to you b

My heart thudded with danger and I had no doubt something was wrong with Brian. The color had drained from my face and I wasn’t thinking about the baby in my womb than my husband.Mom rolled her eyes at me and about to step away when Doctor Bill stepped out with a fallen countenance ; I swallowed hard when I saw those red eyes of his and dark face ; he seemed as one that escaped hell.Mom had paused to know what news doctor had to share with me.

    The doctor spoke so loudly, obviously making a noise to attract attention and Opula gestured at him to bring down the tone of his voice.“You know someone could be listening to us,” Opula whispered, “Please, take things calmly. You must not make a noise about it. But I have told you the forty percent is not going to be possible. Why would you demand I pay you forty percent of a contract you know nothing about…”Doctor Bernard burst into a mocking laughter and grinned afterward, “Oh do you think I know nothing about it? Is that what you think? I am going to tell you what I know about it. The Bensons want Melissa as an arranged wife but your greed wouldn’t rest, you forced yourself on your ex-boyfriend, Rod thinking he will get you pregnant but unfortunately this pregnancy belongs to Ken,”Kate was still eavesdropping at the door at the time, Doctor Bernard made that statement.

    At the time ambulance came to pick up Opula who was still coughing out blood, Salsa was peeping from the kitchen where she prepared lunch. She smiled evilly and gritted her teeth as she shook her head in vengeance. She hoped the abortion would happen this time around; she couldn’t wait to hear news of Opula losing the pregnancy; only then would her joy be full.From the kitchen, she peeped out to the ambulance personnel attending to Opula, and she could recall how she did it;Opula had requested for a fresh orange juice a while ago and Salsa prepared it for her with mixture of her poisonous herbs that would abort the pregnancy. Salsa was responsible for the bloody cough Opula was experiencing and if Opula should cough out blood for a longer time she could lose the pregnancy.“Until the teeth of my vengeance bite you, I shall know no rest. Opula, you are going to suffer in my hands until you lose that pregnancy. I will not remain alive and watch you get pregnant for a man I love so muc

    When Kate barged in on Opula, she met her sobbing and weeping in her palms. She was red on the face and the color drained from her face; it was obvious Opula had been weeping all night.“Oh my goose!” Kate exclaimed and paced to the side of Opula and clutched her teary chin, “What happened to you again? Why are you all tears? The day is too early for this, Opula,” Kate petted her and caught sight of the picture on the bed and when she picked it up, it was rod’s picture, “Is it because of Rod Benson? What did he say to you again?”Opula swallowed hard, sobbed even greatly and managed to say, “He has refused to pick my phone calls ever since he rejected the pregnancy. The most annoying thing is that Rod wants me to abort the pregnancy. Can you imagine? Does he hate you that much?”“What!” Kate snapped and snorted, “Is he sick in the brain? How could he suggest such a thing? Oh my God!” Kate raised her gaze in frustration and asked yet further, “Did you show him the paternity test result

    “MELISSA!” she called, her body shivering, the fierceness of her face threatening as she molded her fist, “What are you doing here? Are you supposed to be here at this time?” she asked, her hands trembling.I hummed and quoted, “Because the bird has learnt to fly without perching, the hunters have learnt to shoot without missing. I knew you were up to ruin. A leopard cannot lose its spot. So this is it mom. You demanded to know the ON and OFF knob so that you could sneak in and turn off the oxygen machine and suffocate Brian? Your evil has caught up with you.”Mom’s jaw sagged as she fumed, “You rotten maggot. I am only doing you a favor. I really want to have you back as my daughter but you must be set free from this evil marriage. He has to die.”I advanced forward and replied her, “You got to be bluffing, huh. My husband?

    Promptly I flinched from sleep; it was a dream.“Oh my God,” I whispered and wiped my face of the nervous sweat that trickled down. “Brian cannot die. What sort of dream is this? Something must be happening to my husband,” I said to myself, gasped, stroked my hair confusedly and picked up my phone to call the doctor…***Seated in front of the police detective were Fanny, Opula and Kate. While they spoke, the police scribbled down vital information on a paper, with keenness in his eyes.“The total sum of money is one million dollars,” Fanny said in a baritone voice, “I believe the money is somewhere in my villa, obviously in one or two chambers. I really want you and your boys to fish out and punish anyone found guilty of stealing the money.”The police detective winked after scribbling down some more information from Fanny, “Um, Mr. Fanny, this one million dollars in question was it stolen from your company, the Fanny Group or from the villa? Because you made mention of the money was

    Feeling enthusiastic and not knowing what mom was up to, the doctor pointed at a knob, “Yes, this is the knob that controls the machine. It has an ON and OFF but it is always turned ON. Once it is turned OFF for more than thirty minutes, the patient will finally die. It is very dangerous to turn it off. And what would even make anyone to turn it off anyways?” the doctor asked suspiciously.Mom smiled and shook her head, before turning her gaze to smile deeply at me.“Why all these questions, mom?” I asked, anxiously, with my suspicious gaze locking with hers, “Are you interested in medicine now? Is this the reason you want to see Brian? You should be talking about Brian and not the machine.”Mom burst into a choking laughter, “My daughter never mind. You see, I was arguing with a staff of mine the other day that an oxygen machine has an ON and OFF knob and she kept arguing with me .” she brought out her phone and took photos of the machine, “Right now I have the picture of the machine
