The going was good when Dominic and I met in Niger some years back.
We had so much in common that we thought our love was made in heaven. We
met when Dominic was doing his youth service with a very profitable
company in Minna and I was a final year student at the State University.
Dominic was a fun loving person and liked to take me out regularly.
We attended many parties together and danced together all through the
night on several occasions. We were not ashamed, nor were we afraid to
kiss in public.
Dominic set my body and soul on fire. Whenever I heard the sound of
his voice, I would be turned on and even my nipples would get erect.
Furthermore, at night whenever I lay down in bed, the mere
remembrance of his touch roused me and made hunger for his embrace. We
were in love and love made us do crazy.
We made love whenever and wherever possible and that sense of sexual
adventure seemed to boost our level of intimacy. Indeed the taste of
love was sweet at the time.
I didn’t have to fight or quarrel with Dominic throughout the time we
dated. We were just too much in love to quarrel or fight each other.
Dominic didn’t really need to propose to me. We naturally found
ourselves planning marriage and eventually, our marriage ceremony turned
out to be a great celebration and ceremony.
As the years went by however, my husband and I grew richer and he began to acquire more and more possessions.
But sadly, as we became more and more wealthy, my husband began to
womanize. He started keeping mistresses and before I knew what was
happening, I started hearing rumors of children born for my husband by
his teeming number of mistresses.
I hired a private investigator to look for evidence and he confirmed the rum ours with considerable evidence.
I was devastated when I was shown proof of my husband’s other women
and other children. It was revealed that my husband had three children
from other women.
But what could I do about it?
I felt that there was nothing I could do about it because men would
always be men. However, I thought that my husband had carried his
passion for philandering too far.
I comforted myself with the thought that since I was his lawful
wedded wife, my children were going to inherit everything my husband
possessed and that my husband had already clearly stated it in his will
that my two children would be the only heirs or inheritors of his
estate.
But my husband seemed to have other plans. To my greatest shock,
Dominic called a family meeting one Saturday morning. At the meeting, he
explained that he actually had other children who were unknown to me as
his wife.
He asked me to forgive him for that. Next came the bombshell. My
husband said that he has instructed his lawyer to divide his property
upon his death and share it equally among all his children, both
legitimate and illegitimate.
This plan meant that since my husband had three children from other
women, the three illegitimate children would receive the greater part of
my husband’s assets upon his death than my two children.
What have I been laboring for all along in marriage?
I wept profusely after my husband told me that his decision is final.
How could I sit and watch my husband’s children from other women take
away my children’s inheritance?
How could I fold my arms and watch the illegitimate children of my
husband’s mistresses get the lion’s share of what ought to be my own
children’s inheritance?
I decided to catch my husband in his own game of mathematics. So I
went to an orphanage and adopted two sets of twins, that is, four
children. This meant that in addition to my two biological children for
my husband, I now had a total of six children.
I then informed my husband that I now had six children who bear his
name, and therefore, he had to make adequate provision for ‘our latest
children’ too in his will.
He initially objected to my adoption of four children but I clearly
told him that as far as I was concerned, we have six children together,
so the earlier he accepted those adopted children as his own, the
better.
I warned him that if he didn’t provide for all ‘our’ six children in
his will, I would file for divorce, which meant that since we wedded in
court, he would lose much of his possessions to me. I also threatened to
contest his so-called will in court if he didn’t grant my request.
In the end, my husband gave in to me and adjusted his will
appropriately by raising the number of my children in the document from
two to six. This means that according to my husband’s mathematics, I and
my children would now get the largest share of my husband’s assets when
he is gone.
The ratio is now six to three instead of two to three!
I hear that Dominic and his mistresses can’t stop complaining about
me and what I did, but that is their business. I’ve thought them a
lesson well deserved.
I’m happy that I did my calculation well, otherwise me and my children would have been schemed out!
