???????? The Other Woman Episode Twenty SIX:
Ben showed Amarachi how to get feeds from the cameras he was about to install in Mandy’s house, and what she needed to do, if she felt he was in danger at any point
He drove her to a safe place and took a cab to Mandy’s house, to enable Amarachi stay in the car and watch out for him.
They argued about how risky it was if Mandy found out what he was doing, with Amarachi being so afraid that something bãd could happen to him, but Ben assured her it wasn’t young to be so easy to attàck him in her house.

“She is most probably hōrny again, and thinks she could have me once more. And I’m guessing the substance she just put in her pocket us another form of àphrodisiac.
“”So you just have to watch out, let me know where she puts this substance, and when she makes the mive.
“All you have to do is talk into this object here. It is connected to my earbuds, so I’ll hear you loud and clear. I’ll have to act along with her for a while, until I’m able to get the things I need everywhere” he told her before he set out to visit Mandy.
Back in the house, Jackie had come to visit Nkem and Mama, and they were talking about the recent happenings and how God had saved them all from Mandy’s hands.
Then Nkem told them about her worries and how she feared that Joe may not be able to keep things in, and for so long.
“Nkem, this is why I suggested that we used that boy. It’s a good thing that we didn’t have to get him to confess to his crímes before Joe found out the truth
“But we can make him take Farida away from Joe’s house.
“The initial plan like you told me was that the girl gets pregnant and birth a child for you and your husband, you settle her handsomely, enough to help both of them start their life elsewhere.
“And you didn’t know that she was already pregnant for Max. My guess is, the pōor guy may not have been told before he agreed to that plan.
“Or he was made some promises that aren’t forthcoming, because from all indications, he loved Farida too much to have planned to have Farida stay permanently with Joe, or have her give his child to Joe.
“So, I think we can come in from that angle. Let him know that he has been used, and see if he’d fïght to get his woman back
“And if that happens, if he begins to pressure her into returning to him, you and I know that Farida will be torn between pleasing her mother, and pleasing herself.
“My guess is, she’ll grab the much money she can, and run away with her lover, and that will solve half of our troubles.
“And even if she chooses to try to stay with Joe, she won’t be having the pleasant stay she’s having that is giving them both, the time to plot and plan” Jackie suggested.
“You are right my dear. I know that boy will soon be a bone in their neck because on that day that they descended on me, like I told you Nkem, he was talking about not wanting his first child growing under another man’s name.
“And that shãmeless Mandy was screàming at him for daring to mention the child as his, when she had already made concrete arrangements with him.
“Something tells me the boy isn’t pleased with the way Mandy is treating him, and he’s sooner or later going to revôlt” mama said.
“Then, we need to make our move now. It’s time we made him see the reasons to revölt.
“Nkem, you were with them when all the plans were made, and you all agreed on the terms of this arrangement.
“You are in a very good position to let this young man see how far he had been made to derail from the original plans, and how he is losing everything in the end” Jackie suggested.
“It’s a good idea Jackie, but I think it’s best to allow them do their own things.
“I feel that inciting Max against them, is playing in their own terms, and tilting towards their own kind of lifestyle.
“It’s a good thing that Joe and I are now back together. I may have to endure, having to stay low whenever he speaks with Farida, hide behind the shadows like the other woman in their marriage, but it will be only for a while.
“I’ll just have to ensure that Joe understands what’s at stake, and is ready to work with me, waiting for them to fall in their own pit, unaided” Nkem said.
Mama was almost crying as she listened to her daughter in-law. She kept recalling how terribly she had treated Nkem because of her childlessness, something that she hadn’t chosen for herself!
And when she looked at Nkem’s way of handling matters, she couldn’t help but regret acting the way she did with her back then.
“Nkem, you know, every time I listen to you talk, every time I see you act in your natural state, I can’t keep myself from regretting treating you the way I did, for something that wasn’t your doing, or choice!”
“I can’t forget that even after I made my husband’s kinsmen officially marry Martha, and brought her to your house you still called me Mama, and treated me like your own Mother.
“Even after I made life hêll for you, mocking you every minute of the day, and ensuring that Martha didn’t let you have a minute rest in your matrimonial home, you never stopped being the Nkem that my son brought home that day.
“You never really fought back, or made me feel the effects of my wrong doings, neither did you make Martha get rewarded for her actions.
“You are one of a kind Nkem, and I’m sure your pure heart made God bless you at this crucial point with the fruit of the womb.
“Yes Nkem, I also believe that your desire to still have me around, to have me understand things that I hitherto didn’t know, is why God made you appear when you did, and why He chose to spare my life.
“I know that if I keep apologizing everyday of my life, it won’t still be enough to atone for my sins, but I hope that somehow, you’d forgive me for the sake of the indescribable love you have for my son” mama said, getting quite emotional.
“Ah mama, I’ve told you before! There’s no grudge in this heart of mine against you.
“I know you did things in the extreme, but you wanted what all mothers would want; a grandchild from their only son! Jackie made sure I saw things in the right person time!
“And mama, I believe God allows certain things to happen for some reasons. Yes, He is the all wise God.
“If these things hadn’t happened, how would I have known for real, who Mandy is to me?
“And if I didn’t face all that I faced, I wouldn’t have seen how valuable and how extra loving Jackie is to me.
“Mama, no matter how much I have been through in the hands of Mandy and her daughter now, it can’t be compared to what they could have been capable of doing to me, behind the shadows.
“What if I got blessed with a wolf in sheep’s clothing still around me, and she found a way to hurt this child, when I wasn’t looking?
“Do you think my life would have remained the same if she succeeded in hurting this special miracle God has given me because I didn’t know she’s nothing but an unfriendly friend?
“In everything Mama, I give God thanks, and in this case, I have so many reasons to thank God” Nkem said, holding Mama’s hand as he spoke.
Jackie wiped a tear from her eye as she watched Nkem and her mother in-law demonstrate their love and forgiveness.
“You know Nkem, I never really got to ask about Martha. What happened with her?” Jackie asked.
Mama let out a throaty laughter before she responded.
“Martha made me know the stuff she was made of, just a few days after Nkem left the house.
“She told me she was going to leave the house because Farida and Joe had given her an ultimatum to vacate the premises, and when I tried to convince her to stay, she laughed me to scorn.
“Mama, you must really think that there’s something special about this son of yours, for me to have to remain here, wasting away, while he switches from one woman to another, when neither of these women is me!
“Farida is pregnant for him, and has managed to grab his attention away from Nkem the special woman.
“Think about it, if she could chase Nkem away, and she had said she doesn’t want me in the house, what’s the aim of hanging around like a spare part when Joe has offered me something good to help me start my life elsewhere?
“Yes Mama, Joe asked me to choose between a million Naira, and staying around without getting any form of attention, and mama, as you are seeing me now, I have that one million Naira, sitting in my account’ she told me” mama said
Mama told them that when tried to express her disappointment, Martha was quick to let her know that she was only there for the money after all, and since she could get the little she could, she was better off going her way.
Amarachi and Ben entered the house while the three women were still talking, and after the usual exchange of pleasantries, Amarachi was in a hurry to tell them what they had found out.
“Mandy is planning to kïll someone tomorrow. She is planning to kïll…” Amarachi was still saying when they heard a police siren blast so loudly, it appeared to be approaching the house
