That Lady was with him when he was there in another country. What happened God knows only. because after few days that lady married to Her Boyfriend which she was Dating for a long time.
My Husband had named all our property to that lady and she double-crossed him.
My Mother - in - law was suffering from an epileptic seizure and she also died after few days due to it. I lost everything I had. "a Mother, A husband, and all the property."
While talking this to amara few hours passed. So amara told to nkechi that she will come after some time.

While putting it back, mistakenly one more Suitcase which was made of metal fell on her head. her head started bleeding and she becomes unconscious.
She opened her eyes and saw that obinna stood in front of him, along with two doctors,amara, and some other neighbors.
She listened that doctor was saying to obinna that she is in a coma and they can't predict when she will be free of it.
After Few days, Doctor Discharged her and obinna brought her to home.
Neighbors helped obinna in bringing nkechi home and nkechi was knocked on the same bed in front of that same Wall Clock which she was Counting the seconds of her Hardest Life.
Days, Months and Years Passed, obinna married to a Gorgeous Girl. Set up his own Hospital, Blessed with Baby Boy. everything happened in front of nkechi but she was not in that condition to enjoy a single moment of this brand new Happiest Life.
She was in a state where her mind has concentrated only on the Second's thorn of the clock.
She started Praying to God for her Death as now for her to Count that "SECONDS" has become the Worst Counting of seconds of her life.
