Episode 11
Immediately Tony entered the house and saw Danny in such position with Miriam, he rushed at them angrily and punched Danny to the floor
He then made sure Miriam was okay before he turned to shout at Danny…
“You, what are you doing here? That is not even my business, my problem is…why were you forcing my woman to embrace you? See the way you grabbed her with force even when she wasn’t comfortable with it” Tony shouted angrily
Miriam explained everything that happened…
“Dear, he is my ex, he came begging for forgiveness and when I told him to leave, he refused. See where we are now”
Tony brought out his phone…
“I’m calling the police now, to make sure you get locked up for trespassing and härässment”
Danny, scared of going to jail, started pleading with Tony to pardon him. Tony went on to dial the police hotline and when Danny saw that he wasn’t going to budge, he decided to confess…
“Hold on! Hold on please, I’ll speak up please! It was Sandra who sent me here. She asked me to set Miriam up so that you’ll break up with her. I didn’t mean any harm please”
Miriam and Tony exchanged glances before both looking at Sandra. They were not surprised because they already knew that Sandra was an enemy to their progress
Sandra couldn’t utter a word and Tony spoke up…
“I already know that you are wiçkẹ́d and desperate for what isn’t yours but why did you go this far? Even after I blocked your numbers, you still call me with strange numbers and try to spoil my mind towards Miriam. Now we have confirmed who you are, I think you will be the one to be arrested by the police, together with this f00l here” he pointed at Danny
The police arrived and they were both arrested. Tony was willing to sue them to court so that they won’t give him and Miriam any more trouble.
Miriam then resumed her personal preparations for their wedding. The day was drawing closer and the families of the couple had agreed with each other’s terms. Miriam’s former in-laws were silent, they were no longer troubling her like before.
So Miriam peacefully rounded off her preparations and Tony got ready too. They had their wedding on a low-key and the couple went out for a short honeymoon after handing the children over to Miriam’s parents
Then they came back just in time for the court hearing on Sandra’s matter. Sandra and Danny were granted bail on the criteria that they pay Miriam a certain amount for damages caused.
Danny paid up and bailed himself while Sandra’s family were stuck after paying for damages. They didn’t have enough money to bail her out.
They met with Tony requesting that he dropped all remaining charges against her so that she can go free, but he refused. The in-laws then swore to tørmẹ́nt him till Sandra is free…
“You will hear from me I swear, and you will cry surely” Sandra’s mum declared before they left
Tony saw it as mere threats and didn’t take it seriously.
On the day Miriam and the kids moved in with Tony, he had a serious attack

Episode 12
The night Miriam moved in with Tony, he was attacked by strange people who were only visible to him. Miriam could not see them, only Tony could
He was covered with sweat, breathing heavily and saying different things while moving restlessly on the bed…
“She tried to blackmail my wife, she deserves to be in jail”
“Aaargh, I’m sorry please. If I had known, I would have left her”
“Noooo! Please don’t kíll me” Tony was shouting
Miriam tapped him severally but he didn’t wake up. She started panicking because she had never seen someone in such situation, she didn’t know what to do
Her only option was to hold him down and pray for him, and the moment she did that, he became calm. The attack stopped
She got him some water and he slept off.
The next morning, after the children had gone to school, Tony narrated what happened to Miriam…
“It was like I was in a meeting with Sandra’s people, they were asking me why I locked their daughter up. At a point, they tied me up and started torturing me before I suddenly woke up”
Miriam didn’t know what to say, she was just lost in the whole situation. They concluded that they would start praying everyday for the attacks to be stopped entirely.
Few hours later, they had a visitor. It was Frank, Sandra’s brother. Miriam refused to let him in…
“Have you come to trouble my husband again?” She asked
“No, I have no bad intentions against you guys”
“How did you even get this address? Have you been spying on us?” She asked again
“No, I don’t spy on anyone. Please there’s an urgent matter on ground, I need to see you and Tony” Frank explained
Tony came out to see what was going on and after consideration, he asked Frank to come in. Frank then brought up the topic…
“I have the solution to the problems you’ve been facing recently” he said to Tony who looked surprised. Frank continued…
“Yes, I was never in support of my family taking you guys to a native doctor. If you have experience in things like this, you’ll understand that for a certain thing to be accomplished, there must be conditions attached”
“The native doctor we met gave us a condition, he said that once you guys drop a fruit at your door before going to bed, the attack would be averted for that day”
Tony and Miriam found it hard to believe. It was that easy, but it was something no one in their situation would think of doing
Frank read their faces and spoke up again…
“There is one thing which I feel can be done to stop the attacks entirely but you have to come over to my place tomorrow. I’m having a bad feeling here right now so I’ll just be on my way” he stood up and left
Tony was still in disbelief but then he remembered something…
“This guy was in that nightmare yesterday, I can recall. He sat in one place all through and he didn’t involve himself when they were torturing me” he exclaimed
Miriam decided to take Frank’s advice and followed his instructions. That night they slept well without any trouble or attack
The next day, they both went to visit Frank but when they arrived at his house, they saw a lot of people gathered, crying
