Pay Back
In the house of Peter Okafor, the owner of Peter's enterprises, he married Mary who gave birth to a daughter named Bianca. They lived happily for some years until Peter needed a male child to manage his business.

One sunny afternoon, Mr Peter returned home from office with a woman named Blessing who happened to be pregnant for some months. Mary did not have any choice other than to accept Blessing into the house. Some months later, Blessing gave birth to a boy named Samuel who took after Peter's enterprises.

Mary was happy with everything that was going on in the family until she had an argument with Blessing which resulted in a fight. Some hours later, when Peter came back from work, he noticed an unusual attitude between the two wives and decided to ask what the problem was. Mary explained what happened between them to their husband and Peter concluded that Blessing was at fault which made her angry and harassed Mary, but to her surprise Peter gave her a surprise harassment. After some months, Blessing concluded that Peter loves Mary more than her which led to hatred in her heart for Mary.

One afternoon, Mary was preparing a meal for herself and her daughter. Mary left the kitchen to pick her phone which was ringing and Blessing sneaked into the kitchen and poisoned the food. When the food was done, Bianca had already slept off and Mary had no choice but to eat alone. Peter came back from the office early that day and complained that he was hungry and would like to join her in the dining. Before they finished the food, the poison had circulated through their body which let to their death.

After some minutes, Bianca came out of her room feeling hungry. She decided to check the kitchen and spotted her parents on the floor lying lifeless. She ran to Blessing's room to call her for help, but she had gone out with her son. She went out to call the securityman to help her take her parents to the hospital and the doctor confirmed that they were dead. Bianca went home weeping and found Blessing in the sitting room. Blessing noticed that Bianca was in shock and ask her why she looked so quiet, but to her surprise Bianca narrated all that happened to Blessing.

One month later after Mr and Mrs Peter was buried, the house never remained the same because Blessing was maltreating Bianca. One evening, the family lawyer came to the house to read the will to them. Meanwhile, Blessing had gone to the lawyer's office to change the will to her son's favor. When the lawyer finished reading it out, Bianca was surprised that nothing was willed to her.

Five years later, Blessing sent Bianca out of the house. Bianca became an independent woman and vowed to find the cause of her parents death. She decided to visit her parents' home to pick up something sh forgot years ago. When she was about going into her parents room, she overheard Blessing discussing how her parents died over the phone with her friend. She quickly took out her phone to record it and was surpiyshe bribed the lawyer to will the property in her favor.

She ran out of the house to the station to report what she heard and the way she recorded the Blessing's voice. Blessing was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. Bianca went to the lawyer's office after Blessing confessed her bad deed. The lawyer was made to reveal the original copy of the will. To Bianca's surprise, she got the highest share.

This is a story of jealousy, treachery and murder. It could easily have been the plot of a Shakespearean play. In the end, justice prevails, although nothing will make up for the tragic loss of Bianca's parents.

It is good that the truth was revealed later. Most times we allow greed and envy to cloud our judgement. We show much commitment to material things that we can kill for it. We forgot that we are sojourners in this world that one day we will leave all this behind.

A true career of jealousy and intrigue, Blessing was damaged from the beginning only that nobody noticed it. There were many fortuitous situations that triggered and the end. I would not say that justice was the protagonist, but luck.

Fine story. Got you in Dreemport

This is one heck of a revenge twist hahahaha, it was very pleasant to read this storyline @cool08!
Remember I suggested proof-reading before publishing it Cool? Here are two of the errors, not too many today, one or two more up there in your story still.
"something sh forgot years ago" should be something "she" forgot years ago?
"and was surpiyshe bribed the lawyer to will" is supposed to be what? That sentence at that point doesn't make sense. lol
