Dennis and Eugenia  have been living  together  as husband  and wife for the past seven months  without  any issue or problem, Eugenia  was eignt  months pregnant  as that time, she couldn't  work,  so she was always    at home with  the maid.

Dennis was ready for work  that early morning, Eugenia  was  trying  to help  him knot his tie .

"Nora would be coming over today"
Dennis told Eugenia .

"Really?"Eugenia asked.

"Yes,she doesn't have a choice  than to be friends  with you "Dennis  told her with a smile .

"That's  nice, I'll  try to be as friendly and nice as possible to her when she comes "Eugenia said .

"Yeah, you should "Dennis said giving her a peck on her cheek.

"Do have  a nice  day at work"Eugenia said as Dennis  walked  out of the room.

"Alright, tell Chioma to come and close the gate, I might  run  late toady, because  I would  be going to the mechanic's workshop after work"he told her as went  downstairs.

"OK dear "Eugenia  said .

"Chioma"Eugenia called her maid.

"Go and open the gate and make sure you close that gate well"Eugenia ordered .

"OK ma"

Chioma went outside  to close the gate  before  entering the house to continue her chores for the morning.

"You would  be going  to the market  today, to get some  foodstuff, my sister in law is coming today "Eugenia  told  Chioma.

"OK madam"Chioma said nodding  her head.

"So when you come back, you would  meet me in the study, I need to read  some books"Eugenia said  and continued .

"Just close the door, since you won't  be gone for long, and Nora  would soon be here" she said .

"Ok madam, so you won't  lock the gate "Chioma asked.

"I can't  come outside, I am tired  just close it when Nora comes she would  open it, I need to go to the study, I'm  bored "she said and moved towards the study.

Dennis drove  into the compound and met the gate opened, not locked, he was so angry and concerned  at the same time .

"Eugenia "he called  entering into the house but he got no  response .

"Nora"he called and continued

"Nora, are you home?"he asked, but he got no response.

"Chioma"he called but got no response .

"What's  happening "he asked himself  and walked into his  room  to check for his wife, but she wasn't there.

"Where is she? "he asked himself.

"Could she be in the study as usual?"he asked himself  again.

He decided  to go to the study  and look for her, on getting  to the study  he met his wife lying helplessly  on the ground, in a pool of blood with a  knife  in her stomach,  she had been stabbed.

"Oh my God! Eugenia "he screamed .

He was so confused, he didn't  know what  to do, he picked his phone  to call the police and  told them to come with  ambulance .
