A gripping personal account of a second wife who endured years of criticism from the first wife, only to win her respect by uncovering a theft ring that was draining the family business.

In a polygamous home, silence is often your only shield. For years, I was the "other woman," the intruder in a home Adura built. But the morning the missing bales of stock were dragged back into our courtyard, the silence broke, and the dynamic of our family shifted forever.
I married Musa knowing the rules. Adura, his first wife, was the matriarch—respected, feared, and openly hostile to my presence. For her, I was a disruption. Every mistake in the household was quietly attributed to me. When profits from our family hardware business started dipping, the whispers began. "The new wife brings bad luck," they said. But I knew it wasn't bad luck. It was theft.
While Adura was busy managing the front of the shop and keeping me in my place, I was watching the back. I noticed the inventory didn't match the sales. I saw the workers leaving with bags that looked too heavy. I didn't speak—who would believe the second wife over the trusted employees of 10 years?
Instead, I waited. I tracked the missing bales of wire and cement. I collected names like pebbles in my wrapper. And then, I set the trap.
The morning the police arrived, led by my tip-off, the courtyard froze. Musa stood stunned as his "loyal" foreman was handcuffed, pointing to the stolen goods recovered from a nearby godown. Adura watched, her face tightening. She expected the blame to slide toward me, as it always did. Instead, she saw me standing tall, the one who had saved the family business.
Today, Adura and I run the shop together. The thieves are gone, and so is the animosity. We are not best friends, but we are allies. And in this house, that is more than enough.
