MY WEDDING NIGHT -Episode 14,15,16

wedding night . Episode 14
Later in the evening my brother came visiting
with a flask filled with food, but food really
wasn't what i needed that moment.
"i'm sorry for coming late, i really was held up
with work. Dad is now safely home. I spoke with
him few minutes ago" he said pleasantly while i
ate slowly.
"so what's up, any breaking news?" he asked
when i was done eating. I forced out a smile,
thanked him for the food before telling him all
that happened earlier in the day. He listened
eagerly, frowning when i got to the suicide part
of the plan.
"no no no i don't support that. What's the
detective thinking by suggesting such nonsense.
No that's bad" he said seriously, but before i
could answer, detective Jeremiah showed up
that moment with a heavy frown on his face.
"i'm afraid i brought more bad news" he said as
he stopped before us.
"the Americans are now pushing for the case to
be moved to their country" he calmly announced.
My brother and I gasped with shock.
"i got a call few minutes ago to prepare and
document every thing i have on the case. We
don't even have the two days anymore" he
explained seriously.
"but that's impossible!. The murder was
committed in Nigerian soil. The trial should be
here" my brother protested seriously.
"I think you should take that up with the federal
government if you have the right connections. I
really had the feeling such a thing could happen
but kept it to myself. Our leaders hardly deny the
American government anything and this case is
nothing different. Seriously many things has been
happening which are swept under the carpet
without the public knowing" he summarized with
resignation.
"but i can go to court. I can stop them legally?"
my brother asked seriously. The detective
breathed deeply and shrugged.
"well if you can get the court to sit before your
sister is moved out of the country. Then yes you
can. But she's married to an American citizen
which somehow makes her an American as well,
moreover i learnt her dead husband already
procured all necessary travelling papers for her
before his death, which makes everything a lot
easier for the Americans" he answered.
"damn" my brother cursed.
"but we still have till morning to come up with
something new" he added while i cleared my
throat and spoke out for the first time.
"i think i have a plan" i suddenly announced,
surprising my brother and the detective with the
cold smile which appeared on my face with the
revelation.
Of course i had a new plan in my mind. A plan
which was nothing close to the suicide attempt
the detective proposed earlier in the day.
So what kind of new plan came to my mind that
crucial moment?? Hmmmm


MY WEDDING NIGHT
Episode 15 and 16
Episode 15 “so tell us what you have in mind?”
the detective asked curiously. “well before i say
anything, I’ll like to know if the so called Esther
that got me into this mess is still staying at my
husband’s house?” i asked while the detective
nodded. “yes she is at the house. She chose
staying their with your mother in law and four
other people while the rest moved to a hotel but
my department is still in possession of all their
passports. So what has that got to do with your
plan?” he answered and asked seriously. “a lot
officer. It has a lot to do with my plans” i
answered calmly. “yes go on” my brother urged
desperately. “i can sneak into the compound,
sneak up on Esther and make her confess. I
know the house very well and i very much know
the weak spots i can use in gaining access to
any room i so desire” i poured out breathlessly.
My brother scoffed while the detective laughed.
“you must be kidding, how on earth can you get
her to confess?” my brother asked with disbelief
“have you forgotten that i’m a woman. I know
how to get a fellow woman to talk. Moreover
Esther won’t find it hard opening up her mouth,
since to her, i’m good as dead and it equally
would be her word against mine. But if i can
record everything with my phone without her
knowledge won’t the case be solved?. Please
just allow me to have access to the house, i’m
very sure i can do it” i pleaded desperately. The
detective scratched his head and breathed
deeply. “have you forgotten that you are
supposed to be in police cell?. How do i explain
your disappearance?. No no no, even though your
plan sounds tempting, i can’t allow it. I can’t put
my ass on the line in such way” he said slowly,
while i grabbed him strongly. “this is the only
chance i got, please help me. If things go bad
you can say i escaped from jail. You can
fabricate anything and put on me. Please i beg
of you” i begged passionately. He breathed
deeply and nodded. “fine i’m in but if things go
bad, you are on your own” he accepted, drawing
great smile from me with his words. I hugged
him with gratitude. “just pray it doesn’t go bad.
This is the only shot you got to redeem yourself.
Don’t waste it” he advised while i nodded. It all
appeared too easy to say but deep down i knew
it was a very difficult task with high risk of
failing. However I was very determined to carry it
out. After all i had nothing to lose trying.
Episode 16
“so when do you plan
heading to the house?” the
detective asked seconds
later.
“it should be tonight, by
10pm. The neighbourhood
will be dark and lonely by
that time” i answered
quickly.
“that’s okay but without a
good recorder and hand
gloves, i doubt if your
mission will be successful. I
can get them for you.
Thank me later” he offered
with a smile.
“oh thanks very much. You
are indeed an angel” i
thanked him.
“i think we are forgetting
something. We are yet to
come up with a plan on
how to get her out of this
place without your
colleagues noticing” my
brother queried
suspiciously.
“leave that to me. I’ll get
your sister out myself, but
you will be right outside
the premises to pick her up.
You will be the person to
drive her to the house” the
detective said while my
brother nodded in
agreement.
“now get ready, in thirty
minutes we should be out
of here” he added.
“but it’s still 6:30pm i
thought she’s breaking into
the house by 10pm?” my
brother asked with
surprise.
“yea she is, but i can’t be
able to get her out of this
place by that time. I can
only get her out in thirty
minutes while you then
take her to your house or
anywhere till showtime” he
answered. I breathed
deeply. I really was
nervous.
