Mr. Kola is a very wealthy man, he had a beautiful family. His wife, Mrs. Kola was a very supportive woman and she can be referred to as the woman behind her husband's success.
She withdrew her savings for her husband to start small poultry 25 years ago, she kept taking loans to boost the business while she paid them back from her petty trade. Mrs. Kola insisted that the profits from the poultry should be reinvested into the business and things worked out well for them.
The growth of the business got the government's attention ten years after it started and they got a grant to expand the poultry. Fifteen years later, they became the biggest egg-producing farm in the state.
Mr. Kola was the face of the business and he became very famous. He went into other businesses that gave him connection to politicians in the country.
On his 35th wedding anniversary, Mr. Kola invited dignitaries and it was a big party that made it to the page of every new paper in the country. During the event, a political party approached him and gave him the proposal to become the next governor of the state if he joined them.
He didn't take it seriously until the next morning after the party, he reached out to the chairman of the party and they met.
Mr. Kola is influential and famous, he has contributed a lot to the growth of the city he lived in by providing infrastructures, jobs, and donations to the less privileged so he fits into the duel for the position of governor. They told him the benefit of everything and it was lucrative enough to drag him into the race for the governorship.
Mr. Kola told his wife about it but she wasn't in support of everything, she warned him about getting his hands dirty with political specks of dirt.
He turned down her advice and went on to buy the governorship form with the hope that he wouldn't have a competitor as promised by the party chiefs but at the last minute of the primary elections, another wealthy businessman in the country decided to compete with him.
Mr. Kola was disturbed and they assured him everything was going to be fine. He became restless, his wife challenged him of withdrawing over $150,000 from the business and he got mad at her for challenging him. Mr. Kola said he would return the money in ten folds when he becomes the governor.
He went on digging into his business to fund his political ambition, he was lucky to win the primary after spending 65% of his business worth. Mrs. Kola didn't stop complaining but he didn't bother about her anymore.
He progressed to campaigning for the real election, he needed to bribe lots of people which led him into taking loans and using his farm as collateral.
Mrs. Kola threatened to divorce him but he begged her to support him and he will be able to replenish everything he has taken from the business.
She refused to join him in his greed for power, Mr. Kola went on bribing and spending a lot just to win the governorship election.
The election day came and things were going in his favor until his biggest rival started winning at some crucial polling unit. He started getting worried and when he heard the results at the end of the counting, Mr. Kola slumped because he lost.
He was rushed to the hospital, he woke up 48 hours later to see only his wife sitting by his sickbed.
He asked where the party members were and she just burst into tears.
Look at how you ended your life in a sinkhole because of power, everyone is gone now and you are left alone to pay your debts alone. Mrs. Kola was about to leave after scolding him but he managed to hold her hand and begged her not to leave him.
It has hard but she had to stand by him, she held his head close to her chest as they both cried.```
