Happiness, glittering things, artificial and natural creations of beauty are treasures any man in love would seek for his soul mate or love. These have always been in the mind of Desmond and wished he had it all to give to his love and air, Victoria who he actually called, Diamond. He called his love Diamond because he treasured her above all females including his mother. Desmond would never listen to anyone's advice, except his love. So people actually used his love, Victoria as a channel to deliver their suggestions or advice to him. He found nothing wrong with the suggestion or advice only if it is coming from his love.
The love affair relationship between Desmond and Victoria seemed very partial or one-sided love story. Desmond's love for Victoria would weigh more than Victoria's love for Desmond if they should be weighed on love scale. Honestly Victoria's love for Desmond would weigh lesser because she went into this relationship with his mind and not her heart. Desmond loved Victoria with his full heart. He tried his best to fulfill the desires of Victoria with all that he had because he loved her that much.
Both were married couples. Desmond was a very hard working man. He was a farmer with different plantation of crops. He grew crops on large scale to sell and to feed his family. He owned cocoa, pineapple, plantain, coffee, sugar cane, tomatoes, oil palm, cassava, tomatoes, cabbage farms which he cultivated on large scale. Victoria accepted his marriage proposal based on these qualities and love wasn't her main reason for this marriage. Victoria was very lazy and she hardly do anything. Cooking and taking care of the house work was a stress duty for her. She hardly cooked food for her husband, Desmond.
Desmond usually did the cooking when he returned from the farms. He was always tired after the farm work and had no other option but to cook since he didn't like buying already cooked food from outside. He liked home cooked meals and have to do it by himself since his wife was always not in the mood for cooking meals. Interestingly, his wife used to join him when the meal is set for consumption after he had finished its preparation. She would say she is tired anytime Desmond asked her to accompany him to any of his farms. Desmond never complained that much because he loved her and feared he would lose her if his demands from her activate her anger.
From the early stage of the marriage neighbours and friends thought both love each other that much not knowing Desmond was the only one in the relationship who was deeply in love unlike his wife, Victoria. Victoria was only interested in what to acquire or to inherit if Desmond lose his life. Secretly, Victoria was having an intimate relationship with her ex-boyfriend Henry without her husband knowledge. Though Desmond heard stories from people that Victoria was having an affair but he never took it seriously since he thought it was just rumors. His closers friend, Dickson even alerted him on that affair issue but he didn't believe him.
Victoria's behaviour suddenly changed after he told her that she would be taking over his inheritance when he pass out into the world of spirit and proving it to her with the legal documents to back it up. She then started to cook for Desmond and never hesitated to do it when he needed her services. She began to call him Darling making it looks as if she loved him that much. Honestly all these cherished entitlement she was addressing her husband with, was a lie. Victoria told her former boyfriend about the story from her husband and both decided to take his life.
Victoria and Henry paid two professional killers to take the life of Desmond. These professional killers were known by their nickname, namely, scorpion and tiger. Victoria gave Desmond's picture to the murderers and she added that they should plan his death to make it looked like a robbery case to cover up the reality on grounds. Luckily, Desmond happened to be a good Samaritan to tiger some years back so he recognized him very well after seeing his picture from Victoria. Tiger been the leader later decided to abort the mission and to tell Desmond personally about the evil plans of his wife.
Tiger told Desmond everything concerning the death plan against his life, and the people behind it. He was shocked to find out that his beloved wife was the master planner behind it. "Oh my love, my enemy". These were the words of Desmond after hearing the heart break news from tiger. Desmond reported the case to the police. Victoria and her accomplices were arrested by police later. They were pronounced guilty in the court of law and to serve 30 years in prison with hard labour.
THE END.
