First part of the story, by @sistem (Udekwu Chukwuebuka):

On the 24th of December is Kenny’s birthday. Kenny has anticipated this birthday from the beginning of the year and has plans to make it real big. He had never really been into parties, socials or fun fair and was never interested or allowed himself get talked into doing any of those. His life was relatively one you would call boring and he never got to celebrate his birthday because he was from a poor background and birthdays were never a luxury to reckon with.

Kenny loved keeping to himself and never really had friends, except for few acquaintances who were just used to his very calm and collected personality.

Being the first born child to his parents and having four brothers and two sisters to cater for, Kenny never had time for himself. He was a very hardworking young man who had to work from Monday to Saturday just to have enough to cater for his immediate and extended family. Though his job isn’t one you would call lucrative, he dedicated himself to doing it and often got good appraisals from his boss and colleagues.
Kenny is married to a tall beautiful young lady, Lynda, whose feet he was ready to worship and he revered the dust that came off her feet. Lynda is a light skinned lady whose skin glows like that of a fluorescent lamp. She is from a wealthy family and therefore attended the best schools. She studied Linguistics and so speaks so eloquently, that anyone would think she had never set foot on the shores of Nigeria. Her parents made sure she never lacked anything and even had to send her to the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom, for her Masters degree and when she returned, love struck and she found herself falling head over heels in love with Kenny who worships in the same church with her and who, at the time, was a graduate who just got a job. Lynda’s parents were never in support of their union and vowed never to have anything to do with Lynda if she happens to finally get married to Kenny. That didn’t deter Lynda, as she went ahead to marry Kenny without the consent and blessings of her parents.

Kenny loved his wife so dearly that nothing could ever separate him from his love for his wife, but all that was about to change. Lynda, on the other hand was a sweet loving lady who respected and worshiped her husband. She is a mother to a beautiful girl, Cindy, and would do absolutely anything to keep her man and marriage like most African women would.

Well, trouble started when Kenny got a new and a better job. The young graduate of Electrical Engineering, who used to work in an Electrical Installation company with a basic remuneration of Sixty Thousand Naira (₦60,000) soon landed a job in a multinational Oil and Gas firm and his basic salary grew from seemingly nothing to way over Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira (₦350,000) and that’s when everything changed.
Plans for Kenny’s birthday celebration commenced and he was filled with so much excitement as he was going to celebrate his birthday for the very first time and not just any birthday, but his 35th birthday. He was also excited because, for the very first time, he will be spending so much and wouldn’t feel he has.

After all, he earns over ₦350,000; he thought to himself.

On the 22nd day of December, all preparations had been made and everyone was ready for the big day. The 600 seat capacity hall had been paid for, the cooks were ready as they had all the ingredients handy, ready for the big day. The drinks had also been bought and the family cloth sewn and collected from the tailor but however, one thing was left out. The graphics designer who was supposed to design and print the invitation cards was nowhere to be found and his phone was unreachable. What could have happened to him? Nobody had an answer to that. Kenny became apprehensive and couldn’t keep his cool. He got his car key, got into his Honda Pilot SUV and drove off to the designer’s workshop but found it locked up.

Kenny had no choice but to make a last minute arrangement. He thought of a friend he could call but didn’t have anyone in mind who could give him the kind of quick information he needed. A thought soon crossed his mind and he remembered Miss Sandra, a colleague of his. Sandra is a tall pretty dark skinned lady with a charm that made every man in her work place crave her. She has the shape of a goddess and you could describe her shape using the hour glass. She catches the attention of all and sundry and never seizes to use what she has to get what she wants, if you know what I mean. She had always liked Mr Kenny but he never gave room for such an ungodly relationship and that made Miss Sandra crave him the more.
Kenny picked up his iphone7 plus and dialled Sandra’s number as it was a usual practice in his office to have every colleagues phone number just in-case of emergencies. Miss Sandra picked up her phone and at first was excited getting a call from a man she liked so much, she thought to herself; has he finally decided to loosen up on me? But to her dismay, he only called to ask about the graphic designer who designed her 29th birthday card, which was used to celebrated her birthday just few weeks back. She gave him the contact of the man but also decided to try her luck with Mr Kenny. She asked Kenny to come over to her house so they could have a good time, promising to help him cool off and make him less apprehensive, but Kenny wasn’t ready for any of that so he hissed and hung up the call. This act got Sandra embittered and she vowed she would have Mr Kenny at all cost, stating that no man ever escapes her grip.
Necessary calls were made and by the next day, the invitation cards were printed and distributed. Having had everything set, Mr Kenny gave a sigh of relief and went to bed that night.

On the 24th of December, the big day all have been waiting for, a Saturday to remember, the party started at exactly 3pm. The D.J (Disc Jockey) started with slow lovely songs to warm up the atmosphere and welcome the guests. The opening prayer was made and the chairman of the occasion made his opening remark. The next on the agenda was the couple’s dance and that was when Miss Sandra walked in uninvited. As soon as Mr Kenny saw Sandra, he became uneasy because he knew Sandra was up to something after rudely ending the call on her the previous day. The party continued and Miss Sandra could be seen dancing and drinking, after all she only came to have fun. It wasn’t yet time to strike and that wasn’t her mode of operation.
The party came to an end with a closing remark and Sandra left the venue. Mr Kenny and his wife, Lynda, were filled with excitement because all went as planned. They said their night prayer and retried to bed but Kenny thought to himself; Miss Sandra came to my party uninvited, yet didn’t do anything absurd. Could she be cooking up anything? While he was having these thoughts, sleep took the better part of him and he dozed off.

It was a rainy day and Lynda couldn’t get enough of the nagging, “are you listening to what I am saying?”, she asked Mr Kenny, but he greeted her with silence as he was trying to concentrate on the road to avoid mishap. Lynda wasn’t having any of that as she stretched towards the steering but was met with a resounding slap from Kenny.

Earlier that day, Kenny and Lynda had woken up in a very high spirit as it was the 25th of December and they were both happy for the success of the birthday party and for having seen yet another Christmas. They both hurriedly said their morning prayers and Lynda ran to the other room to wake Cindy up. They had their bath, ate and prepared for church and at exactly 8:00 CAT they made to leave for church when Mr Kenny received a text message on his Phone but unfortunately the phone was with Lynda.

“You slapped me”, She said and in a bid to retaliate, the car skid off the road and ran into a ditch by the road side.


Middle part of the story, by @aderonkemi (Fowotade Aderonke):

"Come back to daddy Cindy, that route is dangerous”

Kenny said, stretching his hands in a hug style for his 5year old to take but she ran father away from him going into that unfamiliar terrain they had both found themselves. Whoever taught her to be this stubborn he never knew. He kept chasing her still.

"Cindy please wait for daddy. You can’t go there all by yourself"

She would turn her beautiful angelic face at intervals to look at him and giggle but she never stopped going. He could hear her laughter cackle afar off. No matter how he tried, he wasn’t catching up with the little girl. What is happening to him? He couldn’t overtake a 5year old? While still dwelling in his own Dilemma, he lost trail and couldn’t hear her laughs again.

"Cindy…"

Silence.

“Where are you baby? Come out to daddy…”

More silence.

"Cindy! Please don’t leave daddy and go out there alone!"

Reality hit him that he must have lost her and it was then he sat down on the floor to weep. Where would he find his precious baby?

“My baby please come back to me…"

Those were words he was murmuring when he heard voices around him and he slowly opened his eyes to reality.

"He’s awake!"…

“Doctor he’s regained consciousness, the patient”

“The patient? Him? Cindy? Oh no!!! The accident!” he recollected and made to jump up from his bed but hands held him down.

“You can’t get up yet” said a man in white. Must be the doctor, he didn’t care!.

“Where is my child? Where is my wife? Please tell me all is well. Let me go to see them. Loose these drips off my hands. I can’t be cured without seeing them first. Why are you not loosing me? Should I just…”

"Calm down Mr Kenny, they both are fine. You should just focus on getting better first. You just regained consciousness after three days of your admission here. We are glad you could make it out successfully. It was quite a fatal accident" the doctor reassured

Events were falling in place now and he could recollect how everything came to be. That fateful Sunday, he was preparing for thanksgiving in church with his family. The night before was a big celebration he had hosted to mark his new age. It was only normal to end all in the presence of the Almighty. He was in the bathroom when he heard his phone ring but didn’t take heed to it and then he heard the message beep tone.

His wife called to him to notify him of the development but since he had nothing to keep from this woman, he told her to go ahead and read what was in that message that seemed urgent. But rather than read it out loud, she kept mute. He still had the soap lather on his face when he peeked to see what’s up through the translucent bathroom door. She stood affixed with eyes glued to the phone with a grim expression caressing her face.

“Honey, what is the issue?”

He had asked her but she replied with a shocking question

“Who is Sandra?”

He stood transfixed by the room door with no words coming out of his mouth. Why would she mention that? Her words brought him back from his reverie.

“You can’t talk, eh?, you men always can’t talk when your secrets are in the open! I deserve to know who she is."

Why was she reacting this way? What was on the message that came in? He made for the phone to read up but Linda barred his way threatening to spill trouble.

“Speak up” she commanded.

He knew failure to do so would brim argument so he explained to her how she was his colleague at work and one who found him an impromptu photographer for the previous day’s event. Linda wasn’t having none of that as she showed him what Sandra sent. It was a Whatsapp message with a picture attached to it. It reads:

“Thanks for yesternight handsome, I slept cozily in your shirt.”

The picture attached to the text was Sandra wearing one of Kenny’s shirts in a rather flirtatious manner. Of course, even he was dumbfounded at this action.

"What was she doing with your shirt? And what about yesterday night?" Lynda barked!

“Sweetie I can explain. She was at the party yesterday and she got drunk. In the process, she spilled her cloth with red wine and it wasn’t a pretty sight to behold. I was embarrassed for her and gave her one of my shirts to change into. I hailed a cab to take her home after this. Her safety was my responsibility too since she came for me. I am sure you can trust that nothing happened. You know your husband. Please …”

"Ehn ehn, you mean nothing happened with two grown ups in an enclosed place? What a wow!"

She hissed and walked away. The house was gloomy that morning. They only acted fine in the presence of their daughter but guess women can’t be silenced for long hence why she brought it up again in the car.

"You are truly a Judas! I trusted you and yet, you were with another woman. I wonder what men are seeking out of their marriage! In what way is she better than me?" She was nagging profusely.

“Please let’s discuss this later. Cindy is here and you are making me lack focus on the wheels.” He pleaded.

She kept ranting and making their daughter frightened even with those inglorious words. What was she teaching to their child? He couldn’t take it no more when she mentioned “Adulterer”. Before he could learn self-control, his hands flew and dealt her a slap across the face. Oh no! What had he done??!! Raised a hand against a woman? His wife? He didn’t see the trailer coming at the front earlier. In a bid to avoid collision, he drove directly into a ditch! That was all he could remember.

Two days after he regained consciousness, he demanded to see his wife and daughter. It was at this point he learned his daughter couldn’t make it alive but his wife would be stable after a few days. He wept uncontrollably for days until he was eventually discharged alongside his wife. He was perfectly fine except for some minor cuts on his body but Lynda wasn’t entirely lucky as she was struck with a partial stroke thereby leaving her to use a wheelchair for movement.

She was saddened by her daughter’s demise and the calamity as a whole that struck because of her distrust. All these humbled her and made her calm when that same Sandra offered to comfort and help them around the house till they are strong enough. Kenny wanted to object but she said it was fine. He then knelt down and swore to his wife that he won’t be swayed not even by her disabilities.

He stuck to his words as he treated his handicapped wife like a queen. She was his queen and he loved her. Meanwhile, Sandra was doing everything womanly possible to get Kenny’s attention but he wasn’t moved. She went as far as bribing some greedy core family heads to convince him to take another wife and the need to make a new offspring in place of the demised Cindy.

It was a hot battle between Kenny and his extended family when he refused to take a second wife, not Sandra especially! He had an unforgivable grudge against her and couldn’t hurt his wife. When he proved to be too stubborn, the relatives blamed his wife and called her a witch witch who didn’t want her husband to give birth to children since she is handicapped and maybe barren. These words got to her and for her sake, Kenny took in Sandra as a second wife.

He never performed any husband functions to Sandra but rather saw her as one of numerous home appliances. He always assured Lynda that he would never do anything to hurt her even though she sometimes plead that he shows her some love once in a blue moon. He wouldn’t comply and for this reason, made their bedroom sacred to them alone.

All these infuriates Sandra everyday. What sort of man wouldn’t even take two glances at an endowed lady as her? She agreed she was greedy to want another man but what could she do when her heart beats for only him? Well, if nothing, she loved that she always have a backup plan. She took Kenny’s favorite wine from the cellar and refrigerated it. If Kenny didn’t fall for this last ploy, then she would consider him INHUMAN…

My Entry

Sandra made the househelp leave the cooking for her that night. The househelp became suspicious and peeped through the window to see what Sandra was upto. The househelp saw Sandra add a substance to the Kenny's food.The househelp thought Sandra was trying to poison Kenny's food.

The househelp decided to wake Lynda up but She was fast asleep after taking her medication and she remembered Kenny gave her a warning never to disturb Lynda no matter the reason. The househelp decided to confront Sandra as she never even liked Sandra in the first place.

The househelp walked up to Sandra in the kitchen and threatened to expose her act to Kenny. Just as the confrontation began, there was the sound of Kenny's car horn by the gate. The househelp hurriedly turned back to tell Kenny wat she had seen, Sandra hit her on the head with a pestle and the househelp passed out.

Sandra hurriedly carried the househelp to boy's quarter behind the house and tied her mouth and hand so she will not scream when she eventually wakes up.

And now that you have reduced the number of words below 200: thank you for your valid summary.

Only God knows what is going to happen next. I can't judge a book by it cover but who cares what Sandra was up to.

Amaizing, wondering how it would end.

Niece piece man... Thumbs up to you

Nice write up .. I love the way you used words in story.. Wish you all the best.

Later that night, Sandra tried to seduce Kenny by making him drunk. As the night goes, Sandra enacts her ploy against the unsuspecting man. As time passes, Kenny notices what the woman is planning and confronts her. The statement Kenny made infuriated her. But this did not make her give up on him. Now she knows that what Kenny felt on Lynda is unconditional love, and the only way for her to win is for Lynda to disappear on their life.
Sandra made a statement in front of him about this, and told him straight that she will kill Lynda if he won't agree to make love to her. Hearing the words that came out on Sandra's tongue, Kenny's eyes went dim and nobody could even explain what happened later that night. As the dawn comes, Police sirens were heard nearby, as neighbors called because of the loud noises. Blood was everywhere on the house, and the lifeless body of Sandra was found. Before the police could even come in, a gunshot was heard. Kenny killed himself, and woke up from his bad dream. This happened before he could accept his high-paying job and declines it after.

Thank you for your valid summary.

Sandra put together a nice dinner for Kenny and Lynda. She told them she wanted to make a fresh beginning. She set the table and poured a little wine for each of them. Kenny's favorite, of course. But for Lynda's cup, she included a little something extra -- a tasteless poison. Once Lynda was out of the way, Kenny would surely take her as a true wife, not an appliance. If not, what kind of human would he be?

Kenny and Lynda felt obligated to accept Sandra's invitation. But Lynda turned down the wine. She could not drink since the stroke, and had only agreed to join them for dinner under duress. Kenny, refusing to let good wine go to waste, drank her cup. Mortified, Sandra could do nothing to stop him -- if she did, Lynda would know of her plot.

Soon, Kenny started convulsing. Sandra couldn't call for help, or she'd be exposed. Kenny stopped breathing. Then Lynda cried out, "you poisoned him!" and tried as best she could to flee. Sandra was indeed exposed.

What Sandra did next would shock the village -- and herself.

Thank you for your valid summary.

My version of last part.

Sandra tries to seduce Kenny after dinner and Lynda knew about her plan but because of the guilt of their daughter she remain silent. But in bedroom even after so much efforts she came to know about Kenny's disability. This makes her so angry that even after so much efforts she didn't get what she want. After some days Sandra came home late at night with some stranger and while Kenny asked about him she told him to back off as he is not able to give her anything. And these things continued. She sometimes took her colleagues with her too. Lynda was also surprised by Sandra's actions. After sometimes she made their home a place for her enjoyment and when they object she mocked them in front of everyone. But as she was his legal wife now they couldn't do anything. But one day she pushed Lynda from stairs which actually turned into blessing in their life and her condition recovered. Kenny gave divorce to Sandra and they had a baby again.

Thank you for your valid summary.

(Excerpt) Sandra removes the bottle of wine from the refrigerator, pours two glasses, and touches up her hair and makeup.
"Perfect," she thought.
Returning to the kitchen, she slips the drug into Kenny's glass and watches as he walks into the home after a long day. Kenny looks truly exhausted, if Sandra wasn't entirely obsessed with having him, she would have noticed the toll this ordeal was taking on him. Instead she had the satisfying thought that Lynda would sleep through the night, as was normal.

(summary)Kenny awakes in an unfamiliar bedroom feeling disoriented and awful. This is exacerbated when he sees the polaroid on the nightstand. Sandra, wearing Lynda's robe, returns to the bedroom and at this sight, Kenny's rage knows no bounds. Before he knows it, she is lying lifeless on the floor, strangled. Kenny is charged with first degree murder and serves a life sentence in prison. He is periodically visited by Lynda, who eventually experiences a miraculous recovery and one day walks in to visit him, at this visit, she informs him that she has taken another husband and is pregnant. Kenny's story is one of the true, undeserving misfortune that some suffer.

Thank you for your valid summary.

Here is my summary

Sandra had someone send a text message to Lynda telling her her mum needed to see her Cindy in the village. Lynda had packed her bags and left with Cindy and would not be back till Monday. Sandra put a call to Kenny to tell him the house was on fire, she actually started a little fire in her bedroom to make it believable. She put on her sexiest dress and waited for Kenny. When Kenny arrived, he immediately put out the fire and just as he was about to return to work. Sandra told him she was leaving the house for good. She asked Kenny to at least have one drink with her, he obliged, she took the wine which she had already poisoned and gave it to Kenny, Just as he was about to drink it, his phone rang. The wine spilled and Sandra rushed to the kitchen to get a napkin. When Kenny ended the call, he heard a loud bang in the kitchen, Sandra had slipped and hit her head on the kitchen tile. Just before she died, she confessed all her wrong to Kenny and asked for forgiveness.

Thank you for your valid summary.

this is my entry @adsactly

Sandra prepared everything and left nothing to chance. When Kenny came home and saw his wine on the table, he put all his guads up expecting her usual tricks. But he failed to expect she would play the victim and sound like she was going to suicide. So he aproached her to confort her. and when he smelled Lynda's perfume on her. He moved away, excused and went out.

His feet led him to the park where all the "what if" questions enjoyed messing with his mind. Hurt, alone and confused, Sandra was alone at home with lynda. her thoughts led her to one plan: kill Her.

She remembered the perfect way to make it natural. In that exact moment, the last what if question came to Kenny's mind: what if she was really going to suicide?

Sandra started pushing a pillow on Lynda's face. Lynda's every muscle was hysterically moving including her legs, for the firs time in months. but that doesn't matter if she's going to die. Before she gave up trying, Kenny came and saved her.

Thank you for your valid summary.

MY ENTRY

That night, Sandra sipped Kenny's wine and stared absently. She could not give Kenny a love potion. She did not want him submissive. Could she end him? Wasteful.
Finally she smiled knowingly. The vegetable had to go. He was too in love with his wife to see another. Instead, she would make herself the next best option before taking removing the best!

Sandra had turned into a saint overnight. She showed up daily, and she cared for Lynda without a glance at Kenny. In a month, Kenny was in love with her cooking.

On the second month, Sandra changed Lynda's medication initially to placebos and then psychotics. Lynda's symptoms were barely noticeable at first, but weeks after, she hit rock bottom. She was always mumbling to herself and scratching uncontrollably.

When Lynda became violent, Kenny's heart broke. Sandra let him seek solace in her arms. When he finally gather himself and left her room, she restrained herself from going after him and taking advantage of his weakness. He would hate her in the morning, she decided. It would only make her lose the war. For now she was winning, and she wanted it to remain that way.

Thank you for your valid summary.

Great post @adsactly, beautifully synchronized by the two authors. Waiting for the concluding part from the third author. It really shows how interlinked our minds can be. Great post once again.
