Work of the devil - Season 1 - Episode 3

Days turned to weeks and then few months. Three months. Then four months. Mr. Dan had called and tried all to get his wife and baby back home but failed.

Her parents would not let it. She talked them into believing her but her siblings knew better. They understood their in- law. They understood what had happened. They knew she was at fault. They knew the kind of man that he was and the kind of sister that they had.

She stayed at her parent’s home, lazying around. Doing nothing. Staying at home. Watching movies. And ‘slaying’.

But things soon changed faster and suddenly, far from what she had anticipated. Her parent’s suddenly got tired of her and asked her to humble herself and plead with her husband since the man had stopped calling and asking about her.

It seemed as if he had forgotten that she existed. His persistent calls and pleas were feeding her ego. She rode on them and felt good not knowing that they would stop coming. And when they did, she began to complain to her parents of how heartless her husband was. And of how they gave her to such a hardened man to have her as his wife.

They got annoyed and gave her the bitter pill of truth and she felt so bad. They wanted her to go fix her marriage and focus on her home instead of abandoning her husband and home.

She would not take it. She felt bad and betrayed. She was stubborn. Begging was not her thing. Pleading wasn’t. Apologizing wasn’t. It never was and would no start to be. She thought of leaving her parent’s home but not returning to her husband’s house.

She decided to keep her plans to herself and then chose to call me. She said she needed a job. She didn’t tell me all that had happened but I had got to know. She made up her story. She had told me what she wanted me to hear.
I felt it was an opportunity and I asked her to come down to Portharcout. There was a job, I had told her, a new company was recruiting. She obliged to come to Portharcourt.
