TITLE: HE MARRIED TWO WIVES... BUT LOST EVERYTHING
EPISODE 3 — THE SECOND WIFE
Several weeks later, David started travelling frequently.
He told Amara he had important business meetings outside Lagos.
But the truth was that he was preparing for another wedding.
Sandra had been pressuring him.
"David, I cannot continue like this. I want to be your wife openly. I want people to know that I belong to you."
David finally agreed.
He arranged a beautiful traditional wedding ceremony with Sandra.
There were expensive decorations, music, food and smiling guests.
David wore an elegant traditional outfit. Sandra looked stunning in her wedding dress.
But Amara knew nothing about the ceremony.
She believed her husband was away on a business trip.
A few days later, David returned home.
Amara welcomed him with a smile, but she noticed something strange. He looked uncomfortable.
"Welcome home, my husband. How was your trip?"
David sat down.
"Amara, there is something I need to tell you."
Her smile disappeared.
"What is it?"
David took a deep breath.
"I have married another woman."
For a moment, Amara could not understand what she had heard.
She stared at him.
"What did you just say?"
"I said I have married another woman. Her name is Sandra."
Amara slowly stood up.
"You married another woman? David, are you joking?"
"I am serious."
Her eyes filled with tears.
"Without telling me? Without discussing it with me? After everything we have been through?"
David became defensive.
"Amara, I am a man. I have the right to make my decisions."
Amara shook her head.
"Is that what marriage means to you? You promised to love me. You promised to respect me. How could you do this?"
David remained silent.
Then he said the words that broke her heart.
"Sandra will be coming to live with us."
Amara looked at him as though she no longer recognised the man standing before her.
"She will live here? In the house we built together?"
David replied, "You will both have to learn to live together."
Two days later, Sandra arrived.
She entered the house wearing an expensive dress, carrying several bags and smiling confidently.
Amara stood in the living room.
Sandra looked at her and said, "Good afternoon, Amara."
Amara forced herself to answer.
"Good afternoon."
Sandra looked around the house.
"It's a beautiful home. David has told me so much about it."
Amara could barely speak.
Later that evening, David's mother, Mama Grace, visited.
She immediately noticed that Amara was unusually quiet.
When David left the room, Mama Grace sat beside her.
"My daughter, what is happening here?"
Amara broke down in tears.
"Mummy, David has married another woman and brought her into our home."
Mama Grace sighed deeply.
"My daughter, I cannot pretend that I understand your pain. But please, do not allow another person's actions to destroy your sense of worth."
Amara cried against her shoulder.
The house that once echoed with laughter had become a place of silence, jealousy and sorrow.
And the battle for David's attention was only beginning... To be continued
