....The news of my wife's infidelity spread like wide fire,the neighborhood were we lived had all heard the news,they always gave me a starr each time I passed by,I and my wife had become the topic of discussion,it was shameful.
One even walked up to me one day,Mr Cyril,sorry ohh,I heard what happened to your wife,I saw it in the papers,but you wife didn't do well at all,anyways what has happened has happened,how are you coping na,I know you must have filed for a divorce,how is the processing,hope it's going fast,I looked at her but didn't know the exact words to use,have you heard of the words "For better ,For worse?",I asked her,of course I have heard she replied,but not in a case like this,even the bible permits one to divorce on the ground of adultery,so why don't youuuuuu,with all due respect madam, let's this be the very last time you would stop me on the road,for this discussion,say me well to your family,excuse me,I said and walked out on her....
The case was not walking in my wife's favour,we lacked evidence,and all hands and eyes were pointing at me wife,I was really tired of the whole thing,the case was frustrating,my wife was looking so pale and unkempt,she was looking like a different person.something was not right about her,but I couldn't place my hands on it.
Soon it was the day of the last hearing,the day my wife's fate would be decided,the day my wife would either be free, sentenced or given a death penalty,I was having cold feet about going to the court,call it fear,yes I was scared,In as much as I was mad at my wife,I didn't want her going to jail,or been killed, Beauty isn't one of the best wives on earth,but I don't think she had a hand in chief's death,it was only unfortunate we couldn't find anything to vendicate her.
Come on man, I know how you feel,I know you are scared for your wife,but it's only a miracle that can save Beauty,we have prayed,let's believe God for intervention,please be strong for yourself,and your wife.Ben said.
I looked at him,he had been a friend indeed since all these chaos started.Ben,I don't know how to thank you for been a true friend to me since this saga,some would have laughed at me,and even said I warned you,I told you and leave me to my fate,but you man,you stayed,stood and has been my encouragement,I can't thank you enough,I said.oh Cy,now you are been a drama king,come on, let's go,we are running late....
We arrived the Court room,we met Beauty's parents,her mother was already looking pitable,I greeted them,and sat besides them.
The court was full on that particular day,it seems all of a sudden the news had become everyone's interest, they all wanted to know the end of the epic film.
My wife was soon brought in,I could barely recognize her,she had become someone else.
Soon the Judge came,there was tension in the air, everyone was looking straight at the judge,it was a day of judgement for my wife,I could see the fear in her eyes,after all the court procedures,the juged asked the counsel to the defendant,my barrister,if he had anything to add,what could he possibly want to add,my barrister was a good one,but this case was beyond him,he had no evidence to support his defense.
Yes my Lord,my barrister said,I ~know Mrs Cyril may have been the last person seen with the late Mr Williams,and the only one the camera may have caught going into the room before the ~unfortunate incid~ ent,I put it to this honorable court that the camera of the hotel was tempered with,hence the real cooperate is moving about f~ reely while an innocent soul is facing trail for a crime comited after she had left the hotel..
Defense counsel,do you have any tangible evidence to support ~your claim,or is it a mare assumption,the Judge asked.My Lord ,yes I do,I wouldn't speak of a claim,if I ~have nothing to back it up my lord.i was confus~ ed,I didn't know what the barrister was talking about either,what new evidence,what did he find out,oh God,I pray it works for Be~ auty's good,I whispered to myself...
My Lord,and this honorable court, permit me to present my very withness ~,who will TESTIFY to all my client has been saying as true and nothing but the truth.Please you may come in he shouted,~ just then SOMEONE WALKED IN....
