Abiodu
“Look at my condition I am pregnant with my first baby my husband ran away to his Canadian wife it was Brother Charles who raised the money have pity on me as the First Father never wanted Charles to be the First Son that’ why he delayed the process.”
Charles
“I was greedy I misled our sibling as the First Son which Father always wanted you to be have pity in your heart to forgive us we are one blood the same Father and Mother.”
Tony Goswell
“Yes I have forgiven you.”
The Siblings
They became happy and elated.
“Have you forgiven us?”
Tony Goswell
“But on one condition are you ready?”
The Siblings
“Yes sir!” Things have gone the other way round.
Tony Goswell
“Charles!”

Tony Goswell
“You know Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible that’ what I am trying to show you; that’s was what you were practicing with me you have all changed because I won the case God knows what you have done if Charles won?”
Charles’ clothes as well as his ornaments were taken away from him he was given a uniform just as a Gateman.
Tony Goswell

George’ Confession
“All are lies Tony Goswell is cleared he has not done anything I was the one dealing with the lady I asked her to frame up Tony, my mother died and I put all the blame on him I am very sorry have the good heart you always had and forgive me.”
Tony Goswell
He looked up and praised God;
“What can I say I did not do it and I have been absolved in my life time.”
He lifted him up and said;
“Who am I? God created us all and forgiven our sins I have forgiven you.”
George could not believe his eyes he shed emotional tears and promised to be truthful and of good character forever.
The choice was his he was offered to finish his course and be a Priest or remained a good practicing Christian and retain his First Son position.
