A month later Jake and chioma were happily married, she had moved into Jakes house though still in his parents compound. Cindy on the other hand was so happy that her brother married a woman like chioma…

“my queen, this is one of the best food I have eaten”

“(smiles) thanks my king, Cindy hope you like the food?”

“more than like, aunty you can cook!!”

“haha.. Thanks, I have told to stop calling me aunty just call me chioma” she said while Jake gave her a kind of look

“what do you mean… Cindy if she doesn’t like the aunty call her sister, isn’t she your sister inlaw”

“OK bro….” Cindy said while chioma smiled

“my queen, I don’t want you to stress yourself so suspend coming to work in the clinic just rest till my child is out. You are free to come to the clinic but no more working and I will still be paying you your regular salary and allowance”

“that’s my darling” chioma said and kissed Jake

“hmmmm someone is here ooo” Cindy said jokingly

They finished eating while the maid cleared the table. Jake was about carrying chioma upstairs when one of the maids told him that his mum was calling him.

“tell her I will meet her soon”

Jake entered his parents building to the sitting room and saw his mum sitting with a young lady and his father at the other corner..

“mum you sent for me”

“you don’t know how to greet again??”

“am sorry mum… Good afternoon, good afternoon dad”

“didn’t you see someone beside me… Anyway sit down”

“Jake the young lady sitting beside your mum is Linda, the lady we want you to marry as your real wife” Chief madu said

“exactly, Linda meet your husband Jake”

“what??? I don’t understand this, am a married man and I don’t need another wife what’s the meaning of this rubbish” Jake shouted in anger

“Hi, am Linda”

“Linda or whatever they call you get lost before I kill you!!!”

“how?? I can’t get lost, am your rightfully married wife according to tradition”

“what!! Dad, mum you went to marry another wife for me at my back??… Cmon dad this is very stupid of you”

“hey young man shun those rubbish you are talking about, Linda here is your wife and we approved and bless your marriage with her. Linda here has all the best characteristics of a wife, she is hardworking, excellent in cooking, a senator’s daughter, a certified nurse from the United States, and also she would satisfy you In bed”

“oh my God, but dad my chioma has all the characteristics you just mentioned… See am not ready for all this Linda if you know what’s good for you go back to your senator father house”

“Maxwell!! Maxwell!!” Jake father called out

“yes sir you sent for me”

“go to the Lexus outside and take all the luggage in it to the house at the back and summon all the maids in this compound to See Me immediately””

“Oh my God… Dad why are you been this cruel”

“son let me tell I don’t know who is chioma, who I know is Linda.. If you like run away I don’t care”

Few minutes later all the maids in the both building assembled in the main building…

“I want all of you to listen and listen good, The lady there is Linda my daughter inlaw, Jakes rightful wife. I want you all to give her all the respect she deserves as my sons wife. That useless personality called chioma who is claiming to be the wife of my son should be deprived of all service, she should not be allowed to use any vehicle in this house, she must not eat any food cooked in this house.. Am I understood??”

“yes sir” they all shouted in unison

“Linda you can go to your husband house and don’t let that idiot Oppress you” Mrs madu said

Jake was dumb founded, he didn’t know what to do. The most painful thing is that he had no money in him to get himself a house, all his money was used for his marriage. He held the tears forming in his eyes and walked away

“useless son” his father muttered

” good afternoon..pls how may I help you?” chioma asked Linda who just walked into the house perusing the whole sitting room

“you are chioma the impostor right??”

“Ermm am chioma but not an impostor”

“you have the guts to ask me who I am in my husband’s house” Linda said giving chioma a dirty slap when Jake entered the house

“what did I do to you, and you slapped me??”

“hey what’s happening here??” Jake shouted pushing Linda away

“(tears rolling) I didn’t do anything to her and she just slapped me” chioma said

“what?? You must be stupid” Jake shouted giving her a thunderous slap

“Ahhhh” she shouted and fell down “help me, he wants to kill me, help!!! Help!! Help!!!

“what Is that??” Cindy shouted from upstairs running down

Immediately Jake mother surfaced from nowhere into the house and immediately got angry on seeing Linda crying on the floor

“what did you do to her???”

“(crying) he slapped because of this useless thing” Linda said pointing to chioma while she cried aloud

“how dare you this witch” Mrs madu said angrily attacking chioma. She gave her two hot slap before pushing her to the ground and started hitting her hard in all corners. Jake and Cindy angrily pulled their mum away from her…

“mum!!!!! my wife is pregnant do you want her to lose my child??” Jake barked going to meet his crying wife

“mum why are you this wicked, what has the girl done to you … This is unfair I have been hearing all you have been doing to my brother and his wife but I kept quiet now I must talk mum you are heartless”

“hey bia Cindy spear me those rubbish. As for you witch this is my sons wife to you better pack and leave this house and for that cursed thing you are carry I will make sure you lose it. Linda follow me let me take you to your husband’s room”

“my queen it’s OK, everything will be fine” Jake said cuddling her

“sister chioma don’t mind my mom I will try my best to make that miserable thing leave this house”

Meanwhile in Jake’s room==

“this is your husband room park your things into the wardrobe, before I forget Linda you can’t be sharing your husband with that useless girl, what you will do for me is to make him love you and hate that then get pregnant for him if this is down you are in full position”

“trust me mum, I love Jake very much and I will do all my best to win him”

“I trust you dear”

Chioma and Jake later went to their room only to see Linda lying on the bed and all chioma’s properties were thrown out of the room..

“hey hey what’s the meaning of this??” Jake shouted

“is it a crime to lie on my matrimonial bed”

“oh God, I hate you. Why did you throw my wife belongings out?”

“your mum ask me to do so…. Am your real wife so I have to move In”

“Linda I will strangle you to death” Jake said in anger rushing towards her when chioma shouted…

“enough!!!.. She can stay here, I will pack my things to the other room” she said parking her luggage while Jake assisted her…

Weeks passed and the persecution became much for chioma, Jake worsened everything by telling her to stay at home….
**

“(crying) I can’t take this any longer, your mother and wife beat me up today without mercy despite that am pregnant. Jake
In my uncles house I have never been beaten, I can’t tolerate this again. Ok I wanted to use the washing machine today but Linda gave me series of slap saying I shouldn’t touch the machine I had to use my hands to wash your clothes and mine” chioma lamented bitterly

“why would she do such rubbish, chioma I have told you to stop washing my clothes your condition isn’t good for that. See if that Linda of a girl stops you next time from doing what you want beat her without mercy”

“beat her??? Your mum will fight me”

“(sigh) that’s ok have you eaten??”

“(sobbing) I haven’t eaten anything since morning, your mum stopped the maid from serving me food or entering the kitchen to cook anything”

“my mum did all this to you???….you mean my child hasn’t eaten since morning Oh God what sort of trouble is this.. Let’s go out to find something to eat” Jake said bitterly

“don’t border my king, I called Cindy to get me something on her way coming back”

“cmon Noo na… This is after seven and Cindy will be back by eight you can’t keep my child waiting. Let me go to the kitchen I will get something for you to eat ” Jake said and left. Some minutes later he returned with a plate of rice and fed his wife.

“my queen am tired of what is happening in this house, I wish I have enough money I will rent a house somewhere for us but am very cashless Now, all my money went for the marriage rights, and I don’t want to remove anything from the hospital account because I have taken too much from the hospital. If I try to remove anything from there now the hospital will fall and my wicked father is not ready to give me a dime”

“I have a savings of over 300 hundred thousand naira”

“(smile) that’s nice of you my queen, but that amount can’t help us but I promise you, in three weeks time we are leaving this house”

“ok thank God, I can’t wait to leave just take a look at my body”

“sorry dear everything will soon be over…..”

“Pls do me a favour, I want to be following you to work so I won’t die here one day”

“no problem my queen, we ate going to work together tomorrow”

They were still discussing when Linda walked into their room and laid down on the bed where they were discussing..

“what’s the meaning of this, can’t you see we are discussing”

“and So I have the right to come to my husband room anytime and you get out of this place I want to have quiet time with my husband”

“Linda I have taken enough from you, Jake is my husband he married me in the normal way a man should marry a wife. You are not his wife but a wife to his father so If you know what’s good for you leave this room immediately” chioma said as she stood up angrily to face Linda

“who is talking??? Let me tell you something you suppose to be ashamed of yourself. You are forcing a man to marry you whose parents don’t even want you” Linda said mockery but before she could finish her statement chioma gave her a heavy slap and the both ladies started fighting..

Jake watched the both of them fighting and dragging eachother while rolling on the floor. He didn’t separate them since chioma was taking the lead. She was on top of Linda slapping her and scratching the hell out of her…

“Hahahaha… Continue my queen teach her the lesson of her life”
