"Maami!!! Aaaaaah!! There's fire on the mountain o" this as I said after greeting her

"stop talking in parables and tell me what is happening" my mom anxiously told me.

I explained to her what the doctor told me and how the enemy of my life was out there moving freely around, "I don't even know the person"

"first pregnancy lost, second pregnancy lost in the same mysterious way then someone is behind it" my mother mumbled

"my dear, when last did you eat outside your home?" mother asked

The question was a little funny but I managed to answer "ever since I got married mom, I haven't eaten anything outside my home. I cook what I eat myself"

"mama I think I should get a private investigator, I'm confused about a lot of things.

I was hooked down with many sleepless nights. Chuks became a strange man to me, like I never knew him before marriage. He couldn't account for the money that gone out of my company account. Getting a detective was indeed the best option.

I got a detective, I had wanted to tell chuks about it but I changed my mind and kept it secret from him, I gave no room for suspicion about me having followed. My mom was aware of my intentions and she supported all I did.

I gave Jolayemi a call and asked her about how authentic what she told me about Chuks was and that I needed the contact of the lady from Benue.

The dream I had while on the hospital bed, the dream my mom told me about started having similar meaning to me, I've been fooled. I got a call from the detective asking me of the name of the hospital I was taken to when I had my first miscarriage, I could remember the name of the hospital vividly so I gave him the name and the address.

I was able to get in touch with the Benue lady, I needed to meet her, so I did and got the most interesting and heartbreaking story ever.
