************************

I screamed, lamented with no body to help. I tried John’s number but was switched off. I pinged him no reply. I later alerted security agency about the incident. About 2hrs later
they came with ambulance. Every workers in our house was arrested that night except me. Very early the following day I went down to John house to give him both good
and bad news. When I got to his door, I heard him arguing on top of his voice with some boys that he hasn’t give them order to kill him. I was frightened for that word. Did
john killed my father? No! What could be my father offence?? A thought came to my heart that I should just dash in to show them that their secret has been exposed. But another thought said I should run for my dear life. I quickly took my leave before they detect me since I parked my car few meters to his gate. Before I reached home police have came to carry out investigation on the crime scene. I went to police station to know how far. They’ve brutally tortured our gate man and gurd to the fullest. They asked me if chief had a quarrel with anybody which I said no. Other qusetions was asked which I answered skipping all John’s aspect.

When I came back from police station, I was tormented with my conscience that maybe I should inform police to arrest John as prime suspect.

But I later gave it a second thought that if John is eventually find guilty, that means I would loss him as well.

NO! I can’t destroy the house I have been building over 6yrs. After several consolation from friends and associates I resumed back to office. A week later John came to meet me at work pleading that he was rubbed after leaving our house that very day. I shook my head with total disbelieves.

He was shocked when I explained how I came to his house to him. He prostrated crying that his friend took decision out of his conscent. How do you got to know those rascals in the first place? I asked. I was rescued by them from a robbery incident then in school before I was initiated into their group. Are you a cultist? No! Then who are those boys? Please let’s forget about that. Hmmm!

You use your parochial interest to kill my father. You are wicked John! I walked him out of my office that day.

After several days of pleas, I forgave him.

Not only that, I made him the manager of one of my dad companies. Three months later we did an elaborate wedding. After fourteen months of marriage, I was unable to conceive. My husband started keeping late night. If I asked why?

He complained about traffics. Men with their lies!

I forgot a file at home one day. I took bike to make it snappy.

On getting inside I caught my husband and my best friend on our matrimonial bed. Had I know, I would have divorce him then. He pleaded that he won’t do it again.

Not quite long that my husband
brought the same lady to me that she’s carrying his baby. I received the lady with joy.
At middle of night I was terrified with thought of
being cheated which made me stabbed him to death.

Hmmm! Without knowing that I was equally had a 7weeks pregnancy.

I was charged to court which led
me to life imprisonment.
