Over my dead body. This wasn't our agreement. This wasn't what you promised me (starts crying) This wasn't your plan for me, you promise me that I will be your only queen, your last wife. Now, you want to bing in another wife? Our marriage is just two years.

Daddy:

Out agreement was that, you'll give birth to a male child that I needed not a female child. And I don't have time to waste.

Iyawo:

But this is unfair. (She runs inside her room and Mama Yemisi followed her. Daddy takes his car key and moves out of the house)
