Unknown to everyone, Nihal had hooked up with a big Alhaji after her divorce with Kaybee and he was so into her to the extent that she manipulated him into bequeathing all his estate to her upon his death . She left him taking away huge amount of monies with her and his will, buying off his lawyer and blocking all ways that he might change his will. The shock of what she did took his life .

His grieving family who never had his time and cannot even enjoy the property he left behind because he bequeathed every single penny to his mistress were so aggrieved and driven to poverty . Ever since that incident his wife has been looking for ways to deal with Nihal to the extent of going back to school for a second degree in law just to make sure that Nihal never get the chance to escape and God so kind, she stumbled upon her late husband's diary in which every single thing that happened was written by him and his feelings on how she broke his heart, how much he loathe her for making him make a bequest of everything to her had been written down .

The woman whose name is Hafsat has been looking for Nihal across the globe and luckily for her ,she was told by the people she hired that Nihal is back in Nigeria and staying between Abuja and Kano. She then put her long term plan into action hoping that all her hard work will not be in vain. She came from a rich family likewise Nihal. What baffled her is the kind of greed that will make a daughter of a multimillionaire do what Nihal did and she will not let her children down, they were not fortunate to have their father's love and time ,the least they can have is his estate to sponsor their education and daily needs even though she can provide that for them.

" Assalamu alaikum " Kaybee made his presence known a few minutes after 8pm .

" Wa'alaikassalam " came the chorused answer of Ummie, Baba, mommy and daddy who were all gathered in the living room waiting for him.

All the people that came for the wedding have dispersed including those who came with ummie living the house devoid of the bustle it was in earlier during the day .

" Good evening " Kaybee respectfully greeted his parents and In laws before sitting down on the carpet opposite D whose head is ducked low .

After a little bit of banter, the elders turned serious and advised the new couple, praying for barakah to dwell in their home and urging them to be good to each other and let go of their past in other to fully enjoy the bright future waiting for them.

" I trust you with Deejan Kabeer please take care of my princess " Baba said with a voice thick with emotions .

" In shaa Allah Baba , I promise never to let you down ." Kaybee vowed and Mommy was about to say something when D's phone beeped .

Taking out her phone ,Khadijah saw from the notification pop up screen that it was a message and from an unknown number. She slide open her phone and read the message which made her shrieked in fright and fainted .

" Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun " everyone said going to her , aiming to hold her limp figure .

Mommy was able to control herself and took the phone .The message reads :

I am coming for you CaT. You will never be happy with him, your happiness lies with me and no one else and by Allah I won't let any man touch you as far as I am alive .lest I forget, every man is a rapist and he will do worst things that I've ever done to you !! Till I come to take what's rightfully mine .
