Chapter 23

He was aware that his aunt and his cousin’s wife had a

every time they encountered one another, a heated

argument would ensue, and on rare occasions, it

would escalate to a physical altercation, leaving his

poor cousin trapped in the middle of it all.

sometimes reprimand his wife, but Emmanuel knew

that he would meet his doom tomorrow if he had the
