Once upon a time in a quaint little village, there lived a man named Daniel. He was known throughout the community as a kind and caring soul. His heart belonged to a woman named Amarachi, with whom he had shared his life for many years. Their love was a bond that seemed unbreakable, a beacon of light in a world filled with darkness.
Daniel and Amarachi had built a life together that was filled with laughter, love, and unwavering support. They had faced life’s challenges hand in hand, their love growing stronger with each passing day. But as fate would have it, Daniel’s health began to decline, and he knew that his time on this earth was limited.
One chilly evening, as the fireplace crackled and the wind howled outside their cozy cottage, Daniel gathered his strength and sat down with Amarachi. His voice was soft and filled with love as he spoke, “Amarachi, my dearest, I know that my time here is coming to an end. But I want you to know that my love for you will never fade, even after I’m gone.”
Tears welled up in Amarachi’s eyes as she held Daniel’s frail hand. “Oh, Daniel, please don’t speak of such things. I can’t bear the thought of losing you.”
Daniel smiled weakly, his eyes filled with tenderness. “I promise, my love, that even in death, I will find a way to protect you and ensure you never face distress alone.”
With those words, Daniel passed away peacefully in his sleep, leaving Amarachi heartbroken but determined to honor his memory.
In the days that followed, Amarachi faced the difficult task of informing Daniel’s family of his passing. She knew that his family had always been distant and had often treated him with cruelty. Still, she believed that in his memory, she could find a way to bridge the gap and ensure that his legacy was respected.
But Amarachi soon realized that she had underestimated the wickedness that ran in Daniel’s family. They descended upon her like a storm, demanding their share of his meager inheritance and showing no compassion for her grief. They used every legal loophole to take what little Daniel had left behind, leaving Amarachi and her two children in distress and despair.
Despite the hardships she faced, Amarachi remained resolute. Amarachi sought legal means of getting back some of the properties that Daniel had left behind, especially the ones he put in the children’s name. Year after year, with court adjournments, Amarachi has spent all her savings and contributions on legal fees, school fees, and now rent; because she had to move out of her matrimonial home which belonged to her husband.
Her late husband’s lawyer kept demanding more money to pursue the case; unknown to Amarachi that the lawyer was simply doing the bidding of her in-laws.
“Let her spend all the money she has, when she gets tired she will move elsewhere and find another man to marry,” retorted Daniel’s younger brother. “When the lawyer could no longer bear the injustice being meted out to Amarachi, he came up with a plan.” He picked up his phone and made a call to Amarachi in the presence of Daniel’s younger brother who was championing the inheritance tussle.
