Billionaire Saw His Dead Wife In The Market And Grabbed Her, He Found The Truth He Never Expected
The tomatoes rolled on the dusty ground.
A woman screamed and billionaire CEO Jerry Okchapor forgot how to breathe because right there in Oingbo market between baskets of pepper and loud bargaining voices, he saw the face that had been haunting his nights for 7 days.
Mirabbel, his wife, the wife whose body was still lying in a cold morttery is alive and walking in the market, choosing yams like nothing happened.
Jerry's fingers tightened around the black nylon bag of groceries he had just paid for.
His driver, Tundai, stood behind him with the car keys, already tired and impatient.
Sir, we should go.
Traffic is building.
Jerry didn't answer.
His eyes stayed on Mirabbel.
The way she tilted her head slightly when a market woman argued about price.
The way she rubbed her thumb across her palm like she always did when she was thinking.
Even the tiny scar near her eyebrow that Jerry used to kiss whenever she was nervous.
No, this couldn't be.
His stomach flipped, his chest tightened.
For one second, he truly believed he had finally lost his mind.
Then Mirabel turned a little, just enough for the sunlight to catch her face.
It was her, not a lookalike, not a stranger.
Her.
Jerry moved before his brain could warn him.
He walked through the crowd like a man chasing air.
He pushed past a man carrying onions, past a girl balancing a tray of sache water, past two women who paused mid-arument just to stare at his expensive wristwatch and polished shoes.
Jerry kept going until he was close enough to smell the faint perfume on Mirabel's clothes.
That soft scent she always wore, not heavy, just clean.
His hands shook, his throat burned.
He came behind her, reached out, and he grabbed her arm.
Mirabbel froze.
The basket of vegetables almost fell from her hands.
Jerry leaned in, voice low and broken like he didn't want the world to hear his madness.
Mirabbel, how is it possible you are alive? Mirabbel's body stiffened as if electricity ran through her.
She didn't scream.
She didn't slap him.
She only slowly turned her head and looked at him.
And when she saw his face, her eyes filled up so fast it scared him.
Tears gathered there, heavy and real.
"Jerry," she whispered like she had been holding his name inside her chest for too long.
The women around them went quiet.
A market woman holding ugu leaves frowned deeply.
