Tola, an hand maiden,was never happy each time Dele calls her names like "beast" "witch",because it stirs a monster in her.

One day, in the middle of the night which seems to be a long night, after long hours of disgusting sex which she was indeed forced to watch and act accordingly to the characters in a pornography, with blood on her lips, clothes torned...hair scattered, mascara with the make up on her face washed away like erosion washing off fertile soil, she woke up gently after crying all through the sex scenario and being treated as an animal, she got up revealing her full breast popping under the tattered clothe, her slim and marvellous hips.
She went to the kitchen to grab the last coffee, while drinking, she thought of the whole scene, how Dele's intentions were indeed evil but clean to the members of his church, they thought he was a good man, well reserved, honest, who never cheats human and so on, but they were all wrong, he was the real devil whom they would never think of.
Suddenly, she thought of how they started their love life, it was like indeed heaven on earth, she felt like a queen, but alas! she became a slave in her own home and each time she tries to discuss issues with her husband, it results to beating, or each time a friend of hers visited he would give her the beating of her life, so, all friends deserted her.

She needed to change to a new garment, in case, visitors come around by morning, to discuss with their pastor, so they wouldn't suspect a thing, a mistake that almost cost her life years back.
As soon as she opened her wardrobe, she saw the gun, she gasped for breathe, ooooh!, this gun, she remembered, Dele bought it as threat to her threatened her that he would use it on her anytime she reports her love life to anyone, but he denied the fact to his parents when they came visiting, he told them he just learnt a new vocation which was hunting. Tola made wicked grin to the gun, clearing her throat as she got hold of the gun, clearing the dust of the angry gun ready to be triggered, she then stared at her husband, stared at how deadly he is, a scorpion, a snake, a wolf in sheep clothing ,she bit her lips, with her hands akimbo, stamping her feet on the ground.
The sight of her loving husband turned sour in a jiffy, He really pissed her off, she stared at the loaded gun in her hands, awaiting to be triggered, awaiting for its job to execute criminals.
She waited, counting in seconds 0-30 then she checked the time, it was exactly 6:30pm, visitors would start trooping in like they own a god.
Then, saying a prayer of forgiveness...it was sounded, it was triggered... gbaaaaaaam and a groan followed it... Saying "why....why.....why"
Dele, still holding on to his stomach on the bed, rolled in his blood, off the bed and breathe his last looking bitterly at Tola.

Sounds of waoooo waooooo waoooooo, siren blaring so loud, detectives making reports, police handcuffing the bleary eyed Tola.

Years later, After a lot of trials on Tola's case killing a loving husband a good pastor, her in-laws took up the case to its peak, they were on the stand that their son was so innocent, he would never lay hands on her not to talk of slave heralding her. But it was the grace of her competent lawyer and the infinity grace of God that made all evidence applied to be acceptable and adequate for the verdict.
On December 4th, Tola was discharged and acquitted amidst tears of joy.

On January 15, 1988, Mrs. Tola Daniels bade goodbye to a sinful world, leaving a darling husband, Barrister. Olu Daniels and two loving kids
Namely Boni and Rere. On her grave, an epitaph was clearly engraved on it which reads;
...her flower blossomed early in life, but was plucked by a wolf, who trampled on it till it wither and dies, but was revived by a soul.
And it goes on and on and ends like;
...be happy with whom you choose to be happy with.
Mrs. Tola Daniels lived from 1908-1988.
