THE BRIDE’S TEST
EPISODE 1
In the bustling city of Warri, a father and son, Mr. David and Bryan, lived together in a beautiful house. Mr. David, a 60-year-old successful businessman, had built his empire from scratch with his late wife. They had worked hard to create a prosperous life for their family. Mr. David wanted his son, Bryan, 27 years, to marry a woman who shared the same values and qualities as his mother – hardworking, selfless, and a good planner. He believed that such a woman would be a great partner for his son and a wonderful addition to their family.
Mr. David told Bryan that any woman he wants to marry must pass some tests to prove she is worthy of their family. Bryan understood his father’s concerns and agreed to the tests. At that time, Bryan was dating Noora, a beautiful and charming girl who seemed humble and kind. However, unknown to Bryan, Noora had an ulterior motive – she was only after his wealth and wanted to use him to get rich quickly.
One day, Bryan introduced Noora to his father, and she impressed him with her respectful behavior and sweet talk. Mr. David asked Bryan to go to the mall to get some groceries, leaving Noora alone with him. While Bryan was away, Mr. David offered Noora a bundle of cash and asked her to date him instead of Bryan, promising her more money and a luxurious life. Noora, tempted by the offer, agreed, not knowing it was a trap set by Mr. David to test her true intentions.
Mr. David then told Noora to meet him at a hotel that evening, promising to give her even more money and gifts if she made him happy. Noora agreed, excited by the prospect of getting richer.
When Bryan returned from the mall, Noora acted nicely towards him, and he took her home, unaware of the plan she had made with his father. After dropping her off, Bryan returned back to his father’s house, where Mr. David told him about the encounter with Noora and her agreement to meet him at the hotel. Bryan trusted his father’s judgment but hoped Noora would prove him wrong.
That evening, Noora went to the hotel, where Mr. David was waiting for her, as planned. Bryan was hiding in the restroom, waiting to catch her in the act. When Noora arrived, Mr. David asked her to join him in bed, and she willingly agreed.
Bryan came out of the restroom and confronted her, asking if it was all about money. Noora tried to explain herself, but Bryan was angry and heartbroken. He realized that she had been using him all along and didn’t truly care for him. He left the hotel room, and Noora chased after him, trying to explain, but Bryan wouldn’t listen to her excuses.
Mr. David’s test revealed Noora’s true intentions, and Bryan was grateful to his father for protecting him from a gold digger. He realized that true love requires mutual respect, trust, and genuine interest, not just material wealth. Mr. David’s wisdom and experience had helped him avoid a potential disaster.
