MARRIED TO HIS MOTHER
CHAPTER TEN
Since Clara gained power over Olamilekan, she began to use it to her advantage. Iya Labake could not withstand the fight she was facing from both sides; she had to go and prepare herself and be fortified.
“Olamilekan, I want you to sign these documents” Clara presented some papers to Olamilekan whose mind had become attached to her.
“Where do you want me to sign on the papers” Olamilekan asked her staring at her face.
Clara had sold some of his properties which he owned before he became married to Kemisola, she did that to get some money to hasten her travelling abroad.
“It is one of your houses at Lekki, since you are not living there, so, I decided to sell it and use the sales for something.” Clara said to him
“No problem, all that I have is now yours, you are the woman of the house now” Olamilekan said to her smiling.
Clara knew it was not the wish of Olamilekan to do that but he was under the influence of her charm which she had used on him.
“Thanks a lot, likewise, some of the cars in the compound would be sold off very soon and the money will be sent to my account” She added.
“Anything for you, even if you want me to start walking with my legs and don’t make use of cars or even will all my properties to you, it is something I can do without any problem” Olamilekan replied her smiling with his hands rubbing each other.
“ You don’t mean it, although, we are still getting to that level but for now these documents you are about to sign is all I need for now, but other things would follow when am done with the transaction” Clara said as she released the papers into Olamilekan’s hand to sign which he did without any delay.
“By the time, I am done with you, you will beg for tears you will not see” Clara said to herself and smiling as she walked away.
The report of the sales got to Olamilekan’s lawyer and he immediately contacted him but the reply Olamilekan gave him was not satisfactory, so he had to reach out to Kemisola and know if she was aware about the dealings.
“You don’t mean it, Olamilekan sold what” Kemisola shouted on the phone.
“Not your husband alone ma, another woman’s signature was there and she claimed she was the wife to your husband” The lawyer replied.
“So, what did you do to stop them” She asked the lawyer on the phone with her eyes looking furious.
“I tried my best but your husband insisted that I follow his instruction and ma, there is limit to what I can do on that, am just his lawyer and not the owner of the properties. But what gave me concerns was that he sold three houses of recent and the money was paid into a woman’s account” The lawyer narrated.
“What!, Olamilekan sold three houses and the money into a woman’s account, that should be Clara, this lady wants to ruin my family, what is my offence, God” Kemisola screamed on the phone to the surprise of the lawyer.
“So are you saying you were not aware of the dealings and by the way who is other woman” The lawyer asked looking surprised.
“She is a husband snatcher who claim to be my friend” Kemisola said to him
“You have to legal action against her immediately” The lawyer advised her
Kemisola broke down in tears, she could not imagine what would happen if she eventually losses all to Clara.
“I think I have to also help myself on this issue, mother, am going to that house to challenge Clara and give her the fight of her life” Kemisola said to her mother.
“Says who?” Asabi asked her shaking her head.
“I am going mother” She replied.
“You are yet to learn and I hope you don’t regret your actions again because it seems that you don’t have wisdom at all and we that are trying to help you out, you are proving to be disobedient” She said to her.
“Mother, Clara is taking advantage of things in that house, our lawyer told me today that she sold about three houses and Olamilekan approved it” Kemisola said to her mother with her hand folding around her waist and shaking her legs like someone who was ready to fight.
“And so” Her mother asked again.
“You don’t seem to understand me, mother, those properties are…” Her mother cuts her short.
“Those properties are what?. wait let me ask you, is it your own or what is your business with it, since you said Olamilekan approved it, what is your own problem” Her mother said to her looking at her straight in the eye.
“She is using charm to manipulate him mother, Olamilekan is no longer in his right senses” Kemisola said to her mother.
“So you know that she is using Charm and now you want to go and challenge her physically. You don’t fight over a man even though he is your husband, go on your kneel and pray, he is not himself anymore like you have said but if you pray that God should release him from the cage where he is being tied down, I trust God will hear your prayers”
“But you going there and fighting with the woman is just a public disgrace of yourself. Even if she was a side chick to your husband, you don’t need to harass and disgrace yourself shouting and fighting another lady in public” Her mother advised her.
“Hmm, hmmm, I can’t take that o” Kemisola protested.
“You see, when you do that, you will be at fault, you were the one that made another lady snatch your husband from you at the first place, you lacked the wisdom to keep your family and now that the deeds has been done you want to fight, Okay o, Mike Tyson, go ahead and fight” Her mother said to her feeling unhappy.
“But I need to show Clara that am not weak” She replied.
“Yes, and that should be done through your prayers, you see when you pray that God should intervene like we have started now, all the evil veils covering your husband eyes will clear and he will be in the right senses. Do you think most men leaving their wives and following after young ladies are in their right senses, NO, some are under influence from charms” Asabi advised her.
“A real woman and someone that is ready to take back her position would fight it through prayers and now that Olamilekan is under influence, only prayers can make him free except you want to go diabolic and let me tell you, you can’t fight devil with devil, that is you can’t fight diabolic powers with diabolic powers because they are the same, you need a more greater power to help you win the battle” Asabi advised her daughter but she was not going to take that.
“Mama, I know what Clara could do and I will not accept that nor give her a chance” Kemisola vowed.
“Really, since you are not listening to me, do as you please but don’t come here weeping because I will not answer you” Asabi said to her daughter.
Kemisola made a plan to team up with some group of boys to go and assault Clara physically. She did that without the consent of her mother.
“Yes, here is the house, try and chase that woman out the house and if she refuses beat her up” She said to the young men.
The men who were already promise a fat sum of money moved into the compound to harass Clara but on getting there, they met their match, Clara had fortified the environment that when the men came inside they lost their memory of what they were there to do and kept waiting inside. Kemisola who was expecting a chaos in the compound could was not comfortable where she was so she had to move closer to the place and have a view of what was going on there. She was surprised when she noticed that the guys were speaking to Clara and smiling.
“Is this what I sent you to do, I said you should chase someone out of the house” Kemisola shouted at the men who did not even mind her.
She then moved to Clara and started talking harshly to her while Clara was lookinh at her, she charged at Clara and that cause the spark. Clara got hold of Kemisola and flogged her to the ground. As they were fighting, Olamilekan came out to know the cause of the problem but immediately she saw Clara and Kemisola fighting, instead of siding Kemisola as she had expected, Olamilekan joined hands with Clara and started beating her seriously.
“Jesus!!! Ehh!! Save me o, they will kill me today o, save me oo” Kemisola shouted while the men she hired were laughing and some were recording the incidents.
*****************
She was wounded and all her body was bruised. She got home weeping while her mother was helping her to clean and balm her wound.
“I told you not to go there and cause trouble, didn’t I warned you” Asabi said to her.
“Ahh, Jesus. Why me, why?” Kemisola shouted.
“Why you, mtcheeew, was he the one that sent you to go there. I told you not to go but you did not listen, don’t fight over a man and if you will do, go on your kneel and pray but you would not listen” Asabi said to her as she was cleaning Kemisola’s body.
“Hmmm, ehh, why” Kemisola laments.
To be continued.
