“Is not what you think, Ben, Juliet is not your foster sister as you think. She is actually your step sister” Daniel revealed.THE PAINS OF A LONELY HEART-Episode 17
Ben was shocked by the news from Daniel.
“You can’t be serious Daniel, what are you saying? Ben asked.
“You heard me, a lady was betrothed to your father before she actually met your mother. Your father impregnated that lady but she disappeared when she heard your father was going to get married to your mother”, Daniel said.
“…but how sure are you that child is the same girl I’m in love with. It can’t be Juliet ” Ben asked.
” Your father was secretly seeing her until she gave birth to Juliet. She died during delivery but because your father couldn’t bring the baby to his home, he personally took the baby to the orphanage home and entrusted her into their care with the hope of later adopting her.”
“Oh no! This is unbelievable! What have I done to myself? So Juliet is actually my sister” Ben said.
“Yeah she is. As a matter of fact, she is your elderly sister” Daniel confirmed.
“Does she know about this? Ben asked.
“No Ben, and that’s going to be our little secret until probably you make amends of your mistakes and ask God forgiveness” Daniel said.
Ben couldn’t believe his ears. Juliet was actually his sister. The girl she had raped and impregnated.
” What an abomination! Will God even forgive me of my sins?” Ben asked.
“Ben, only if you openly admit it and ask for forgiveness, He is a merciful God so He will forgive you” Daniel said.
“But how do you know all these things? You are a stranger, how do you know?” Ben asked.
” You ask so many questions. Lets get back to the OPD. At the right time, you will know” Daniel said and headed straight to the OPD.
Ben followed him closely as they went.
Mrs. Johnson and Jax were watching Juliet as she slept at her ward, when Ben and Daniel got there.
Juliet while asleep, had a weird dream.
In her dream, she was walking down the isle with Daniel to the alter to get married. Unfortunately, no one was at the church, not even a pastor to preside over the wedding.
Before Daniel could say his vows, an elderly woman whom Juliet could not recognize came with a broom and swept around where Juliet and Daniel stood.
Juliet tried stopping her but she was pushed down by the lady.
Juliet fell heavily on one side and she couldn’t move her left arm and feet.
This woke Juliet up from the sleep. There she saw Daniel, Ben, Mrs. Johnson and Jax.
Daniel rushed to her side, held her by the hand and asked how she was feeling.
She tried to sit but she couldn’t.
Daniel realized that something was wrong.
“What is it Juliet? Daniel asked.
“My legs, I can’t feel them, I can’t feel my legs, Daniel” Juliet cried out.
Jax quickly rushed and called the doctor to Juliet’s aid. They were all asked to wait outside the ward while the Doctor went about his work.
Mrs. Johnson acted awkwardly. she was putting the blame on Daniel for Juliet’s misfortune.THE PAINS OF A LONELY HEART-Episode 17
“You are the cause of this, Daniel or whatever you call yourself. What have you done to my child? You should have listened to me. If you had married her, all this wouldn’t have happened. God is punishing both of you for that”, Mrs. Johnson said.
“Mum, you can’t be saying such things in times of this” Ben said.
Before Ben could finish talking, three men came towards them.
They were unknown people.
“Are you Mrs. Johnson? One of them asked.
“Yes, how may I help you? Mrs. Johnson asked.
“We are after your son, Ben”, he said.
“I’m the one, who are you? Ben asked.
“I’m Inspector Sam from the regional police headquarters. You are under arrest for allegedly assaulting and raping Juliet” said Inspector Sam.
Ben was immediately handcuffed and led away by the policemen.
Mrs. Johnson pleaded but they ignored her completely…
What happened to Juliet’s legs and who reported Ben to the police? Find out in the next Episode.
