EPISODE TWO

ADETOLA'S POV

"Babe are you going to work now, I thought you were going to spend the night with me."

"Babe I promise I'll be back I promise and when am back, your night will be filled with ecstacy that I won't even let you sleep"

"You promise you'll return early right"

"Yes, I promise he said and kissed me"

"I love you,"

"I love you too and I promise to be back early."

Who knew that was my last good bye to him,
Who knew that was the last kiss I'll give him,
who knew that was the last conversation we'll have,
Who knew that will be the last time we will see.

It is currently five am in the morning and have been pacing around trying to call my husband but he is not picking up my call.

I sighed and sat back down on the couch in exhaustion

"I really hope you are okay Samuel. Please Lord guide him" I said and place my hand on my chest.

I got up to arrange our room to wile away time to stop thinking about him.

I looked at our wedding picture and started praying and hoping that something bad didn't happen to him.

As I turned around, the frame fell on the ground and broke.

But what surprised me was that it was only Samuel's side that broke and my heart started beating fast but I brushed it off and took broom to clean up the mess when a storm started and Samuel's suit shirt fell out of the wardrobe.

This time I knew something was definitely wrong but I couldn't place my hand on it until my phone ringing brought me out of my thought.

I looked at the screen of my phone and found my husband calling and I breath out a sigh of relief and picked up the call.

"Am I speaking to the wife of the owner of this phone"

"Yes it's me, and why are you with my husband's phone"

"Am sorry to say this but I am calling to tell you to come over to recognize your husband's body"

"No that's not true my husband is okay am coming over to see the body because I know it is not my husband's body."

"Okay mam just come over to Glory mortuary"

"Mortuary, you mean the person is dead."

"Yes mam the person is dead and I found this phone on the dead man's body."

"Ok am coming "I said and rushed out of the door with tears in my eyes.

Nothing should happen to my husband please Lord.

Oh Lord please keep him safe was my prayer throughout my journey to the mortuary.

When I got to the hospital, I met Maria there with no tears in her eyes and relief washed over me, maybe she have seen the body and found out that it's not her son's body and a smile broke on my face.

But that smile was short lived when I got into the hospital and found out that a body was there burned without recognition.

I went over and check every part of the place and I found what broke me. Because that part of his body was still intackt except a few scratches here and there.

It was my husband's tattoo. He drew a tattoo when we were on our honeymoon where he wrote our name and drew love with our name in between.

When I saw this I broke into tears I couldn't take it, am officially a widow and my children are fatherless.

At the thought of this, I broke into another round of tears thinking of how I'll cope with the kids on my own, how am I gonna tell them that their father is dead, what will be of them.

▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️

It's been one month of my husband death and three weeks that we buried him, two weeks of Lucas death and one week we've buried lucas. Yes Lucas is dead. Immediately he heard of his son's death, he had heart attack and fell ill but he died after two days of being hospitalized.

This broke we beyond damage, the only father figure in my life.

And supprisenly, Maria didn't attend any of their funeral. Both her son and husband non of their funeral.

The door bell sound dragged me out of my thought and I went over to open the door because I know the kids won't since their father's death they hardly smile or eat, they just luck themselves up in their room most especially Juliana who is Daddy's pet I feel really bad for them but when I myself is a walking dead, what am I gonna tell them. But I know with time things will change.

I walked to the door and opened it and found an unfamiliar face.

Excuse me, who are you,

Good morning mam I am Anthony Manchester, and I am Mrs Maria Knight's lawyer.

And how may I help you please

I just wanna tell you that Mrs Maria asked to give you this. Thank you mam, I'll take my leave now.

Oh thank you goodbye.

This is terrible, how can she do this to me and her grandchildren how can she take our properties from us, how can she be so inconsiderate but I didn't believe she is this bad.

But the good part of this is that we are going to court and am sure we'll win because the properties are divided 50 /50 among us and now that he hïs dead it's all for me until the kids want to take over.

In the paper,not only does she want her son's, she wants my company too and this is killing me. I got my phone to call my lawyer and explain my predicament to him.

▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️

Am currently in the court room with my kids and lawyer sitting at my side, and my mother in-law and candy at the other side of the room laughing and pointing at me it don't understand why, but am very sure I'll win.

I looked at Jason who rubbed my hand in comfort and I kissed his head too.

▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️

This is bad, terrible and any bad name you can call it.

I lost everything my house, my company, my property, my everything. I couldn't take it anymore, I broke down in tears.

When I look around, I found my children crying and my mother in-law and her minion laughing.

So this is episode two and episode three will be out soon
