Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 7
The Strength of a Woman Episode Seven.
It's now one month since Juliana took Chief Willie to the bonesetter's house. And she is happy she took the decision because her husband is recovering. Many people in the village were thinking Chief Willie is Juliana's father. This was because she looks so young that the Chief can give birth to her. But it was when they saw the pregnancy that they started asking her where her husband was. She would usually point at Chief Willie, letting them know the man is her husband and not her father. She doesn't care what people think about her.
"What I know is that I'm taking good care of my husband. I don't care about those saying I married a big man who is old because of his money. I know that a lot of young girls in this village will even accept to marry my husband if he says he wants to marry them. I will hold on tightly to my man. I'm proud to be Chief Willie's wife. I'm proud to be carrying his baby. In fact, this is even his first legitimate child. The other ones are not his own. They belong to other men. The sad thing is that Angel, his second wife is now using the illegitimate children to squander first time I'm dealing with this kind of case. Your husband is very lucky to be alive and he will make a full recovery. Just be patient and continue to take good care of him." The bonesetter said.
"I will continue to do my best for him. He is a good man. I just want him to recover fully and correct some of the things that are going wrong in his family. If he cannot talk, he cannot protect his wealth from being plundered by his first wife who is a very greedy woman. Please, help me and do more for him. Whatever medication you need to apply, please go and bring it. Whichever amount it costs, I will pay you." Juliana said. She was crying.
"You have nothing to worry about. All you need is to be patient." The bonesetter said.
Meanwhile, Juliana's baby bump was growing fast. Everyone in the village can now see that she is pregnant. A lot of them liked her so much because of how she was dedicated to taking care of her husband. She used to cook in the bone setter's house. She had gone to the village market where she bought cooking utensils. She makes good meals for her husband using fresh food items she buys from the village market.
Juliana likes life in the village because living there was simple. The place used to be quiet and all she hears is the "Cho Cho chơ chirping of birds. She has access to all manner of fresh food and bush meat.
"This village is so nice. It's so enjoyable. I'm beginning to think it's better than the city. Just that I'm used to living in the city. Life here is so simple and lovely." Juliana said.
She started posting her photos and videos on Facebook. She would snap photos and make videos of herself cooking in the village and she would post them on Facebook. Her followers loved all the videos.
Three months after, her husband's recovery improved greatly. One day, he said his first words since after he had the accident. Juliana was shocked when she heard him talking.
"Thank you so much my darling wife for taking good care of me. I don't know what I would have done without you. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I would have died without you by my side. I promise to reward you greatly for your dedication." These were the first words that came out from Chief Willie's mouth that afternoon when he started talking.
Juliana was so happy and excited. Out of excitement and joy, she recorded a video showing her husband talking and appreciating her.
"Hello everyone, my husband had an accident some months ago. His enemies thought he would die, but today, he started talking again. To God be the glory." Juliana said in the video. She posted it on Facebook. The video went viral and Angel saw it.
Angel immediately called her children and showed them the video.
"The doctor lied to us. Chief Willie is still alive. He didn't die. His wife is in the village taking care of him. We have to find them and eliminate them. If we don't eliminate them, Chief Willie will recover and come back to pursue us from this house. If we allow him to stay alive, we will lose everything we have gained in the past one month." She said.
There and then, they planned and hired a gang. They paid them N10 million. The gang was Instructed to find Chief Willie and eliminate both him and Juliana.
"You must not fail. Don't allow any of them to live. Finish them." Angel tells the gang leader.
"Consider it done!" The gang leader said as they drove off, heading to the village.
