Work of the devil - Season 1 - Episode 17

When Sam began to have issues in his marriage with Regina, he did his best to be quiet about it to his family members, especially his parents. He would not talk about it. He was doing his best to avoid providing direct answers to questions asked about his marriage.

But his Mom got to know. Why? Motherly instinct, you might say. But more than that. She was the concerned half of his parents. She seemed to have a special liking for Sam but she had did her best to hide it. Her husband had put her to that. He would accus her for been the reason why he was obstinate. That it was this ‘special’ love that she had for her that had made her a weakling in properly disciplining Sam and so Sam had grown bold to disobey his orders.

Mrs. Dee didn’t know what to do and how to do it. But she finally succumbed to her husband’s many talks and got sided with him yet her deep love for her son was still there except that she learnt how not to show it. She didn’t know better. She just didn’t want her husband’s theory to be true. She didn’t want to be the one who would be held for spoiling her son.

It had become a common occurrence in Nigerian homes that Mothers get the highest blames for poorly trained children even though such accusations are not true, as a child’s training is a joint responsibility of both parents and not just the mother.

As soon as she knew that her son’s wife was becoming a thorn in his flesh and had gone to the point of running away with their daughter, she felt it was time for her to do something different. Something to prove the long hidden love she had for her son. The time to help him. The time to support him.

He was used to handling his problems alone. He was used to been alone. He even had his wedding planned alone just because his Dad had wanted him to suffer for not ‘obeying’ him and walking the path he had wanted him to.
She decided she was not going to let him bear this burden alone. She was not going to let his wife feel that Sam has no family to fight for him. She was going to handle the issue and get back his son’s wife and daughter back to him, even though her top priority was getting back Princess.
She began her work and paid private investigators. Money was not her problem. Money has never been a problem to the Dees.

For those who know them, money is spelt as Dee. She paid to follow up on her daughter in law and grand daughter.
