I then called my friend Gloria to come and pick me up. She asked why? but I repeated the same thing come and pick me up. she came with a taxi in front of my gate i opened the gate softly and went outside then close the gate back not to make any sound. I went and entered the taxi then off we drove out. While on the way going to Gloria’s house I started narrating my wh0le story to her because she asked me why I left my house. even the driver was dump founded. girl you are patient oo if na me you know me na, me way no day take nosense from anybody me and am for dig am out.

I come to know how happy India was when they got there independent from the British. I slept like a baby. the next day I woke up on my own without a slap on my legs or water poured on me. my friend prepared hot tea for me that early morning but I couldn’t eat. with much persuasion from her I managed to take two slice of bread and sip the tea small. she even went and bought me drugs for me to consume that’s I was being served like a queen. my headache vanish it was like a magic. this was a friend I constantly insult back then in school even when we became friends I thought she only came because I am a wealthy person but now I see she is a friend indeed. she worked as a receptionist In one of the biggest hotel in Port Harcourt which name is presidential hotel located at GRA. before leaving for work I told her to be updating me on the things that are going on with my husband and his brother.

CHAPTER 13
*
Immediately Kingsley left my father arrived. the first question he ask when he arrived was were is my daughter?. I don’t know were she is sir Davidson replied. what, you don’t know what? my father ask. I woke up this morning to discover that……. before Davidson could complete his statement my father gave Davidson a heavy slap. go and provide my daughter or you will see the worst part of me my fathers said looking angry. I even regret giving my daughter to this beast called a husband, I thought you are a nice man I don’t know you are this wicked as wicked as a beast corny like the fox you crawl into her life like a serpent and destroy it, no I know most men a very cruel said my mom. you have killed my daughter and you want to lie abi my dad added. I did not do anything I am innocent Davidson tried to explain himself but no one wants to hear him. oh my poor daughter what has she done to you my mom said crying. my elder sister arrived shortly after my mom and dad arrived even my friend Linda. you will pay for what you have done my dad said pointing to Davidson in anger. is it true what I heard about my sister? my elder sister asked. yes it is true this cruel man has killed her for us my father replied. they were all still standing at the entrance of the house when my neighbor whose name was Emeka, who was passing saw them threatening Davidson. what are you people talking about? Emeka asked. my wife is missing Davidson replied. you killed her or she is Missing? you devil Gloria altered looking at Davidson pale eyes. I saw your wife last night. my mom cut in, where did you see her? what happened to her? is she alright?.

But immediately Gloria heard it she was short of words, what if this man saw me and her together they will spoil my plan, Jesus please let my plan to give my friend justice work . though Anita is not aware of what am doing I hope she will understand if I explain to her this thought run through Gloria’s mind. I saw her leaving the compound I thought she was chased out of the house because shortly after she left your brother went and lock the gate Emeka said looking at every body curious eyes. noo she wasn’t chased out of the house Davidson altered. but he then had a calm mind that he did not kill his wife. He has been vindicated of that but more bigger trouble, what if she was killed by an unknown person or kidnapped those thought run in Davidson lonely mind.
See, your wickedness has make your wife to run away from her home. your mother make the house a living hell for your wife even your younger brother. I was here when your wife was sick yet your mother told her to watch the clothes. I saw her sleep outside several times. she fainted on the way while feshing water but when she tried to explain you didn’t give her a listening ear. I will vomite all you people has done to this poor girl. she wanted to be a good house wife. she could have put you in prison since even ruined your life but she never depend on her status rather she brought herself down to please you. but no matter how you try to make yourself look good in front of a serpent, you are just digging your grave because it sees you as an enemy. your own part is unimaginable. almost everyday you are beating your legally married wife as if she is your punching bag. your wife always cover you up. your wife sees you as her husband and her first priority. she has indeed done her part as your wife and as a good wife. did you know that time she broke your teacup by mistake you use her head to hit on those broken pieces she was shivering that time. till now she did not know how she survived thank God those pieces did not piece into her head because of her long hairs emaka said. when my dad heard of that he couldn’t control himself again.

so my daughter was going through hell but she did not inform me my dad lament. she never wanted external relaton to get into her marriage the vows she took bound her hands to be with her husband for better and for worst in good time and in bad time till death do them apart li der added to Emeka words. wait how did you know about all of this? Davidson asked emaka.your wife Anita told my wife about it. when I got back from my work my daughter who heard it narrated it to me and even swore not to get married if marriage was like that. Davidson you are a wicked husband Emeka replied. my father’s hand was vibrating the evil one is coming. so this is what my daughter has been passing through in this so-called marriage. oh I have warned her but she wouldn’t listen now she is reaping the harvest of adamant ears. daughter’s always listen to your elders for what an old man see while seating down a young man can’t see it even if he climb an iroko tree. but you Davidson will reap the harvest of death if you don’t provide my daughter to me through out this week I promise you. Davidson he that beat the drums of osurugege should be ready to dance to the beat of it and the dance of osurugege is the dance of the spirit. he that escape the shot of a gun will leave to tell the testimony of his experience but he that the bullet enter cannot leave to tell of it’s colour. when a man thinks he is stronge he should always put in mind that someone stronger than he is here. I was once a rugged man so get ready for war my dad said and walked out, my mom didn’t say anything rather she followed her husband but the eyes she looks at Davidson with, showed Davidson that her own will be the worst because he has dealt with the heart of a mother. Davidson was left speechless the words of my father hit like an arrow to his chest. if you don’t provide my sister you will taste the bitter side of me my sister said and followed my parents. provide my friend today if not the one I did to you in the cell will be worst linder altered and walked out. welcome to hell young man I will make this world your own lake of fire. I promise you on my life I will be your worst nightmare believe me. what you did to my friend I will give it to you double.

Gloria said and walked out. Davidson could not bear it he ran out on the streets searching for me. under the rain and the sun. he search every nock and Conny, but I was no were to be found. he asked all my friends except for Linda and Gloria but I was no were to be seen. one day he used style and went to Linda house because he suspect that Linda is hiding me in her house. but to his greatest disappointment I wasn’t there.he never thought of Gloria or imagine I was there because he has not seen me with Gloria before. he was frustrated even my neighbors had pity on him and join him in the search for me.

Davidson was in,side his house oneday after being tired of the day search for me when togs badge into his house and beat him up. I was sure it was my father that will do that. they beat Davidson and left him half death. no body knew they were togs not until they went out. one of my neighbor was having strange feeling and was move to go into Davidson house. when he entered Davidson house he saw him bleeding profusely. what happened to you? my neighbor asked. but Davidson could not reply. my neighbor called out for other neighbors. he ( Davidson) was taken to the hospital for proper treatment after being administered a first aid first by Emeka. while in the hospital someone walked into Davidson ward, were Davidson was layed down. when Davidson opened his eyes he was shocked to see who it was. it was my mother. madam what are you doing here? Davidson ask. Davidson I see you survived the first strike get ready for the second one said my mother.so you sent them to kill me? Davidson ask. yes that was for my daughter. This is the result of injuring the heart of a mother. she left the ward but promise to kill Davidson. a woman that loves you unconditionally can also hate you unbelievably. this woman showed me endless kindness now she is showing me endless hatred am finish what is she up to right now what is her next plan. those thoughts runied through Davidson mind.
