Remi

A scream issued from her lips. She'd barely dodged the flying luggage.

Clothes flew, shoes flung at her feet. The entirety of her wardrobe covered the mud painted interlocking of what was her driveway.

She screamed, she begged, she charged at the wench assisting mama and was blocked at every attempt. It was no use. Mama had come prepared. Mama had brought her entourage, fully intending to move her out of her matrimonial home with brute force.

She shook violently with the intensity of her emotions. How had her life come to this?

Remi was a barren woman. The bane of the Nigerian society.

But she comforted herself in the fact that her husband, prince among men, stood by her side fighting every opposition. It was them against the world.

But when her mother-in-law came into the picture, her entire world was turned upside down. She questioned whether she knew this man at all. Had her husband truly buckled beneath societal pressures and done the unspeakable.
