My eyes almost burnt with tears at the thought of my attribute hence forth; mad man’s wife. That was what I was brooding about inwardly not even the worth of my wedding gown.

"Jasmine Alvarez from Yaba, who came with one Ghana-Must-Go bag, will you marry me, with five, with Lila, with two mommies, two grandmas, landlord who planned it, and free rent forever in Apt 3B and 4B combined?" And Jasmine, BP up to 82/44, five heartbeats strong 120, 122, 125, 118, 121 bpm, looked at plastic ring, at Lila holding two pancake pieces, at Mummy Lagos shouting "Say yes! Say yes! With bride price!", at Margaret shouting "Say yes!

My wife, Isabel Wilson, had slept with more than a thousand men, yet she still refused to divorce me. Her family called me a useless freeloader who did nothing but live off his wife. The first time I asked Isabel for a divorce was five years ago. She didn't say a word. She simply had me locked inside the house for an entire month.

Right after that, I was reduced to seeing my child once a week. Today was the third time. This time, I could finally be free because I realized that my child didn't love me, and my

A deep sigh escaped my lips as I mentally reminded myself that the wedding was only tempor

It had taken every skill they had on their part to keep Bright from finding out, including sneaking out of the apartment to meet at random locations to avoid having their plans overheard. Bright and Ash didn’t have a big wedding the first time. Everything had still been too raw, and they were only concerned with being with each other. They had had no real concern over the ceremony itself. The first ceremony had been only them and a handful of their closest friends.
