The evil that men do live after them

Mr Ellis married two wives that is the elder wife and the younger wife. The man was taking good care of the two wives, both women were working in different locations because of their different skills while their husband was a driver he is not always at home until evening before he comes home. A driving job can be so tasking.

How he got married to two wives wasn't his intention at first, it wasn't his dream in any way. However when he married his first wife they waited for more than 10years she didn't conceive. Whereas the mother of Me Ellis won't allow his wife to rest, she was always disturbing her to concieve a child. His mother then pushed Mr Ellis to marry another wife that will give birth so he reluctantly did marry another wife.

Immediately Mr Ellis married the second wife and got her pregnant. The first wife that couldn't concieve all these years also got pregnant eventually. That resulted into being Rivals.

The two women bore their children, the elder wife had a male child(Calvin) while the younger wife had a female child(Hazel).... traditionally families normally refers to the male child as the most important child and neglect the female child because the male child bears the father's name and he's an asset to the family while the female child will definitely marry and change to her husband's name so as a result of this the younger wife was very jealous of the elder wife because of the male child. The two children started their education and the husband was very responsible man for the children's education and his wives.

Every morning before the women would leave home for their daily activity or to look for their livelihood they would prepare food for their children but being a polygamous family the younger wife will be preparing food for the entire family. They continued in that act for some years.

As time went on the jealousy of the younger wife was increasing and could no longer control her actions thinking that her female child will not have access to the family's asset. Then she decided to eliminate Calvin ☠️the son of her rival, since she was the one to prepare the food for the two children as the youngest wife.

On this unlucky day, after preparing food for the children she poisoned a plate of food intended to be for the Calvin. There is always a location in a way that they place the food when they are about to eat...she placed the food where Calvin would sit to eat and placed her child's food where she would eat as well(Hazel).

Being that Calvin is the eldest he is in a higher class that Hazel therefore Calvin closed late from school due to extra classes that day. Hazel came home earlier than Calvin and she was so much hungry, when she came in there was no one at home she went straight to the dining room and took the first food she saw ....it was the food from the poisoned plate and she ate the food.

Meet my incoming sponspors. You will soon meet them😁😁

Thereafter, Calvin came also very hungry ...he came in and saw the second plate of food and ate ...after eating the food he went out playing football with his mates.Hazel developed stomach ache, she was crying bitterly then her mum got back from work came, met her daughter weeping. The elder wife returned from work and met them crying on the floor...they were trying to know what happened to Hazel...as they were rushing her to the hospital. Hazel died.

People were crying and shouting and wondering what could have happened to a girl that just returned from school who has never complained of any sickness.

The more they were consoling her mother the more she was crying and wailing. Thereafter, she confessed the evil plot she had committed, she was the architect of her own predicament, she intended to poison the son of her rival not knowing her daughter would come home first to eat the poisoned food ment for Calvin. That was how she became childless and had no reason to still be in Mr Ellis' house.

The evil that men do live after them indeed.
