Family Affair

Episode 25

Suicide

Cleaning her eyes with her handkerchief, she had made up her mind to take Marvelous’ decision as fate. “But I would never be a co-wife” she said

“If I were you, I will remove that child.

. If you leave it and marry Marvelous, I will strangle you on your sleep

. Just remember that” She finally spoke her last words as she turned to were Helen had sat.

That was when it dawned on everyone that while both ladies were crying earlier and both men had bowed their heads in shame, Helen had gone.

Concern for his baby, Marvelous dashed out of the sitting room looking for Helen. The mum also joined in the search but Helen was nowhere to be found.

Mr. Nnamdi’s head was still bowed in shame, then Constance walked towards him, tapped him and then said “Shameless man. You are more disgraceful to this family than I am and would ever be. I know I am a lesbian, I am unacceptable and I have committed incest. But what about you? Sleeping with your wife’s little sister is what? Raping someone is what? Sleeping with a child is what?”

She then held his chick and said, “I may be a disgrace, but definitely you are a bigger one

. That alone gives me joy and hope. Nonsense” She said this and walked out

After three days of searching without discovering Helen’s whereabout, Marvelous who had been in his friend’s place decided to go home and plead with his wife so they can make amendments.

On getting home she found Constance’s body dangling under the ceiling fan. She had committed suicide. However she left a note down.
