Suddenly, death visited the family and their two daughters had to grow up quickly due to the sufferings that untimely death brought upon the once happy family. Fortunately, while trying to raise money to save their mum's life, the sisters, who couldn't have access to their father's money, somehow become a viral sensation on social media and stumble on fortune.
Nneka - Nelson's first wife - sits alone, staring out the window, her expression filled with a mix of sadness and suspicion.
NNEKA
(calls her daughters) Chioma! Amara! You both should leave whatever you're doing and go clean the kitchen. I have to make dinner, even though I'm not sure if your dad will come home tonight or it will be another story of a business trip to where I don't know.
SCENE SHOWS NELSON'S OFFICE - DAY
Tracy and Nelson meet again, both carrying the weight of their personal struggles.
TRACY
(resolute) Nelson, I've thought a lot about our situation. It's time for us to face the truth and make a decision. By the way, you're an Igbo man and it shouldn't be too difficult for you to do this. According to tradition, a real Igbo man can marry more than one wife openly.
NELSON
(nervous) Well, I think you're right. I… I can't keep living this double life. It's tearing me apart.
FADE OUT.
SCENE OPENS TO NELSON'S PENTHOUSE APARTMENT - SUNSET
Tracy, Nelson, and Emeka sit together on the couch, holding hands, as they prepare to have a difficult conversation.
TRACY
(looking at Emeka) My son, there's something we need to talk to you about. Your dad and I have a decision to make, and it's going to change our lives…for the better.
EMEKA
(confused) What is it, Mom?
NELSON
(choke up) Emeka, your mom and I love each other very much. Henceforth, we want to be open and honest about our relationship.
EMEKA
(excited) Really? Does that mean we can be a real family?
TRACY
(teary-eyed) Yes, sweetheart. We can finally be a real family.
Emeka hugs his mum in excitement.
SCENE SHOWS NELSON'S OFFICE - DAY
Nelson paces nervously while talking on the phone.
NELSON
(into the phone) No, Nneka, it's just a routine business trip. But you don't need to worry about anything, I'll be back in a couple of days.
CUT TO NNEKA IN THE BEDROOM - DAY
Nneka listens to him on the phone, suspicious.
NNEKA
(into the phone) Darling, are you sure? Your frequent business trips are becoming a cause for concern. Honestly, darling, a lot seems different these days.
CUT TO NELSON'S OFFICE - DAY
Nelson sighs, guilt creeping on his face.
NELSON
(into the phone) I promise, Nneka. It's nothing to worry about. You know I love you and our daughters. I'm working hard to give us the comfortable life we deserve. Please take care of our daughters till I return…
NNEKA
Ok o, if you say so.
FADE OUT.
SCENE OPENS TO NELSON'S PENTHOUSE APARTMENT - SUNSET
Tracy, an attractive woman, opens the door to Nelson. He carries a large bag filled with cash.
TRACY
(surprised) Nelson! You told me on the phone that you were coming home with some money. But with this big bag…what's all this money for?
NELSON
(evading) It's for a business deal, my dear. I need to change the cash into Dollars in the morning, so I can send it to my agent for some cars I bidded for and won. Then I'll put up the cars for sale and make good profits.
TRACY
(smiling) Sounds like we can take a vacation after this deal.
NELSON
Sure, sure my love. Consider it done.
SCENE SHOWS A BEER PARLOR - SUNSET
ABALI's friend, JERICO, joins him at a table. Abali, a junior staff at Nelson's office, had seen a bag filled with cash in his boss' office earlier and heard him talking to Tracy on the phone that he was coming home with some money.
JERICO
(disbelief) Guy are you serious? You mean say your Oga carry plenty money like that go him side chic house?
ABALI
(nods) She's not really his side shic, he got married to her secretly after she got pregnant for him. His first wife is not even aware of the whole thing.
JERICO
Ok, so the woman na babymama wey don become second wife abi?
ABALI
You're correct. But that's not the issue here. My own is, how can you get a gun so you can storm that house and take the money, as I already told you on the phone. We need that money badly.
JERICO
(confident) Guy na wa for you o. Gun dey nau. Even groundnut sef dey inside, I mean real bullets. I know the address and I'm ready for the job…
SCENE OPENS TO EXTERIOR OF NELSON'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
Jerico watches the apartment from a nearby car. He bids his time just to be sure the area is quiet.
JERICO
(wearing a face mask) Guys, this is our time to strike. Everywhere is now quiet.
Jerico and his crew of three guys quietly break into Nelson's apartment, armed and ready for the robbery.
CUT TO NELSON AND TRACY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Nelson and Tracy enjoying a tender moment. They hear the sound of footsteps.
NELSON
(whispering) Baby go, go… hide in the bathroom! I think we have intruders.
Jerico searches the apartment with his crew, heading for the bedroom with guns drawn. Nelson emerges from the bedroom with a wood, fear in his eyes.
NELSON
(defiant) You're not taking anything from this house. Whoever sent you guys to attack me is a big fool.
A struggle ensues, and a gunshot rings out, echoing through the room.
CUT TO THE COUPLE'S BATHROOM - NIGHT
Tracy, hiding in the bathroom, hears the gunshot and rushes into the bedroom, horrified.
TRACY
(screaming) No, no… Nelson! My husband, you people have killed my husband…
Nelson lies on the floor, blood pooling around him. Jerico and his crew panic, he grabs a bag containing the money and they flee the scene.
Tracy cradles Nelson's lifeless body, sobbing uncontrollably. The room is filled with an overwhelming sense of loss and despair.
Tracy's hands tremble as she reaches for her phone and dials the family's hospital, her voice choked with grief.
TRACY
(through tears) This is Tracy Nelson, card number 5693… Please I need an ambulance... My husband... He has been shot. Please, hurry!
FADE OUT.
SCENE OPENS TO NELSON AND NNEKA'S BEDROOM - SUNRISE
Nneka's phone rings, and she hastily picks it up. Her face turns pale as she hears the news from the other end of the line.
NNEKA
(in shock) What!? My husband did what? He has been shot dead… in another woman's house. How? Where? My Nelson! Oh my God!!!
Nneka drops the phone, collapsing onto the bed, her world shattered in an instant.
FADE OUT 🎬
