“If you dare sit down there I swear you will regret it!!” I yelled at her “This is not your house this is my house this my home now listen before I count to three you better pack all those rags that you call bag and get out of my house!!” I said with anger.
“You can’t do anything my wife sit down jare in fact if she dare you beat her let her know you are the boss here ” my mother-in-law said and went to the kitchen.
“Madam you better calm down I respect so much because you are my senior wife if not I know what I would have done to you” she said and hissed.
“Which senior wife are you talking about this lady I am warning you!! If you don’t trouble you better take your leave now!!” I yelled at her again

“See me see Wahala I can see you very crazy” I said
“Aaaaaaah me crazy!!!” She shouted and suddenly remove her wig from her head “You see that crazy I will show you today” she said and remove a pen knife from her pocket and started chasing around the living room.

“Aaaaaah Ajoke what are you doing!!?” She said is surprised
“Don’t be annoyed jare mama I need to teach this lady a lesson!!” She said
“Aaaaah Ajoke please don’t do that please just give that knife please I beg you in the name of God you know I wanted to help your life please don’t do this just give the knife” she said and collected the knife from her.
“God save you today next time if you try what you did today you will see what will happen” she said and went back to sit on the couch.
My husband was standing at the staircase he witnessed everything that happened I stood with tears and ran into the room after some minute he came into the room and sat on the bed.
“Olawale is this how you are going to treat me after all what I told you I have been through in life. So you are going to marry another woman I am sure you witnessed what just happened.” I said with tears but he didn’t say anything.
“I am probably trying all my best to get pregnant but I am not God that produces child”
“You are not trying enough!!” He said and went out.
