HOW EX-NIGERIAN MILITARY HEAD OF STATE, MURTALA MUHAMMED WAS REALLY KILLED

(you will be surprised at Obasanjo, Buhari’s mention in this account by Gen. TY Danjuma)
“Murtala was killed. I think it is public knowledge that Obasanjo fled on the day Murtala Muhammed was killed. He remained in hiding until the coup was aborted and he reached out, first, to M.D Yusuf (Inspector-General of Police), who then called him and he came out of hiding, and joined us in Dodan Barracks. We discussed the funeral of Muhammed and made arrangement as to who would accompany his remains to Kano, so on and so forth…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>> 


At the end of the meeting, Obasanjo asked M.D Yusuf and I to stay with him in the chambers (Dodan Barracks). After everybody had left, Obasanjo told M.D Yusuf and I that what had happened had destroyed his faith in the loyalty of the Nigerian Army. That he had decided that after the funeral, he would retire, leave the Army and go home. But before that he would name me as the successor to Murtala. I told him that, that amounted to desertion and that he could not run away. He was number 2, number 1 had been killed in battle; he as number 2 would take over.

He said no, no, no; that he didn’t think he should stay; that he wanted to go. We argued that. In the end, Yusuf said, “look, let’s all sleep over this matter; tomorrow we will decide.” I said, “look, there’s no question of sleeping over it; the point now is we should be looking for who is going to take Obasanjo’s seat as number 2 because there is no way we are going to allow him to chicken out and leave at this time; we must all stay and face the future together.” So, we left and I went home. By this time, we had called all the members of the Supreme Military Council to Lagos.

The following day, he (Obasanjo) started to talk in the same vein and I cut in. I said that Obasanjo could not leave; he had to stay and be the Head of State and we should be looking for the number 2 man. I had, over night, considered the consequences of what had happened and came to the conclusion that if we were not careful; we would end up with a religious conflict on our hands. Already, that evening – the evening that it became public knowledge that Murtala had been killed – Dimka had made a broadcast in which he said, “good tidings” among other things. He had imposed a curfew – from dawn to dusk (laugh) and said all sorts of things using the expression, “good tiding.”

Abubakar Gumi, in the North, said that the coup that killed Murtala was a Christian coup because of the utterances of the coup leader, who said, “good tidings” because it is an expression of Christians. Already, there was tension in the North. The governor of Kaduna State, an air force officer, Usman, had to contain him: that it had nothing to do with Christians, that it was a purely military affair.

I knew that if we were not careful, as time went on, we should be consumed by religious strife in the country. I decided that the new Chief of Staff must come from the North preferably, a Hausa/Fulani man. From my knowledge, I had two candidates – (Muhammadu) Buhari, who was really my number one candidate for that post and the late Shehu Yar’Adua. Shehu was not in the country; he was abroad as Minister of Transport. You would remember we had inherited a cement armada in the Lagos and Port Harcourt (ports) and his (Shehu’s) first assignment was to decongest the Lagos port and get rid of all the vessels that were clogging Nigerian waters, and attracting huge demurrages from our government. He (Shehu) was abroad attending to that problem when Dimka struck.

So, they were the two candidates. Buhari, at that time, and even today, is one of the most upright Army officers that the Nigerian Army has produced – very clean, a very strict officer. Unfortunately for him, he served under me for a short time in Port Harcourt and I observed that he was a very inflexible person. I reasoned that Buhari, any day, could be a first class Chief of Army Staff. Why waste him in a political post? Why shorten his career because if he became Chief of Staff, he would have to leave at the end of the tenure. Why waste him there?

Besides, I observed that he was too rigid; he was too inflexible to hold a political post. If you are in politics, you must be flexible; you must compromise from time to time. In politics, they call it pragmatism. But in the military, if you are pragmatic, it is regarded as a weakness. I said no, not Buhari. Shehu, I didn’t know him well except that I knew that, of all the officers of his rank, he was the most politicised. So, sending a politicised Army Officer to a political post, I thought, was a good thing. That was how I named Shehu the next Chief of Staff.

When we came to the Supreme Military Council and Obasanjo started singing the same tune that he had sung to me and M.D Yusuf the previous night, I said no, that was not the issue; he was the most senior person and he had to stay there. He had to stay in office. He made some feeble resistance but I think he had slept over our discussion and concluded that if we insisted, he would stay.

There were a few voices of dissent. The first came from the Chief of Air Staff, Isa Doko, who said that the problem we were facing was an Army problem and that the Army boys had confidence in me. That we had just crushed an attempted coup, and we should not put somebody there that the Army didn’t have confidence in. A few other officers supported him but I overruled them. And so, I imposed Obasanjo on my colleagues in the Supreme Military Council.”

NIGERIA FEBRUARY 13TH 1976 COUP

When Lt. Col. Bukar Dimka of the Nigeria Army Physical Training Corps stepped out of his official residence on Macpherson Road, Ikoyi, in the early hours of February 13, 1976, he had one agenda in mind; the killing of the then Head of State, Gen. Murtala Muhammed.

He achieved that criminal act by gunning down the Kano-born head of state a few minutes after the latter left the Dodan Barracks, Obalende, the official seat of the Federal Military Government at the time.

Muhammed’s official black Mercedes Benz was riddled with bullets near a petrol station on Bank Road, (now Murtala Muhammed Drive) opposite the Federal Secretariat, Ikoyi. Killed along with him were, his ADC, Lt. Akintunde Akinsehinwa and driver.

After the assassination, Dimka had made a broadcast at the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) studio in the following words;

‘’Good morning fellow Nigerians, This is Lt. Col. B. Dimka of the Nigerian Army calling.

I bring you good tidings. Murtala Muhammed’s deficiency has been detected. His government is now overthrown by the young revolutionaries. Any attempt to foil these plans from any quarters will be met with death.

Everyone should be calm. Please stay by your radio for further announcements. All borders, air and sea ports are closed until further notice. Curfew is imposed from 6am to 6pm. Thank you. We are all together.”

Two days after Muhammed was assassinated, Dimka was declared wanted for treason and murder by military authorities. He was eventually caught at a checkpoint at Abakaliki on March 5, 1976 and brought to Lagos the following day.

On March 6, 1976, the Federal Government promptly issued a statement on his arrest as follows: ‘’His arrest followed a massive manhunt operation mounted by a combined team of the Army and Police in the area.

‘’The previous day, Lt. Col Dimka had checked in at a local hotel in Afikpo under the name of Mr. C. Godwin of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Enugu. Later, on his request, the hotel manager secured for him a girl, Miss. Beatrice Agboli, with whom to spend the night.

‘’A few hours later, the local Police security was alerted and they closed up on him. At about 10.30 pm, he bolted away through the window of the toilet of his hotel room into a nearby thick bush, abandoning his car with a dangling registration number ECC 6253.”

‘’The continuous joint manhunt operation by the Army and Police resulted in his subsequent arrest near Abakaliki.’’

Barely few hours after he was brought to Lagos, he was interrogated by the military Board of Inquiry led by Major Gen. E. O. Abisoye.

However while Dimka was being quizzed, 32 people including Major Gen. Illiya Bisalla, who had already been tried for their roles in the attempted coup were executed in Lagos on March 11, 1976.

The only civilian executed among them was Abdulkarim Zakari, a graduate of University of Ibadan, who was said to have led Dimka and others into the studios of the NBC on February 13, 1976. The broadcaster was also cited as the man who signed for martial music records from the NBC library the previous night.

Just as the first batch of coup plotters were executed, Dimka’s trial begun after he was presented to the press on March 11, 1976.

Handcuffed, Dimka who wore a katftan dress watched journalists listen to a tape recording of his appearance before the board of inquiry for about five minutes. He confirmed that the voice on the tape was his own and that it was a recording made at his interrogation. He emphasised that the statement was not made under duress.

According to a Daily Times publication, ‘’13 Years of Military Rule 1966-79’’ the highlights of Dimka’s confessional statements included, ‘’Frankly speaking, I should say the beginning of the coup idea was around January this year (1976).’’

He said he had discussions with some persons including former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon in London and when he returned to the country, he decided to assign responsibilities to members of the young revolutionaries conscripted into the plan.

But Gowon, who was in exile at the time denied any prior knowledge of the coup attempt.

Dimka also claimed the coup plot was hatched by young officers who resolved not to involve any Lieutenant Colonel and above except himself in a bid to effect a change of government.

In his confessional statement, he said, Gen. Bisalla had complained to him and expressed his frustration that despite being a member of the Supreme Military Council (SMC), each time there was a decision to be taken, he was either sent to one place or the other.

Dimka said ‘’ Bisalla told me that whatever will happen he want us to go ahead, and work out the details.’’

Explaining how responsibilities were distributed, the leader of the coup plot said ‘’ When I met Major Rabo, he said that he had finally distributed responsibilities. Major Rabo was for target one- Head of State, Lt. Dauda was for target two- Lt. Gen. Obasanjo, Lawrence Garba was for target three- Lt. Gen. Danjuma.

‘’Major Gagara was for Ilorin and Sokoto, Jos had nobody. The main centres of operations were Kaduna, Ibadan, Benin where there are Radio stations’’.

He also listed the targets of attack, that is, those to be eliminated as the Head of State, the four GOCs, Col. Babangida, Col. Bajowa, Col. Mohammed of Sokoto, Col. Ibrahim Taiwo of Kwara, Col. Abdullahi of Jos and Col. Jemibewon of Ibadan.’’

Dimka also confessed before the military board of inquiry how Zakari showed him the NBC broadcasting section on February 12, a day before the coup attempt.

On how the ex-Head of State was killed, he said ‘’ I stood at George Street with Major Rabo to wait until such a time when the Head of State’s car was coming out. There, one Capt. Malaki who was to give the warning order. Capt. Malaki was to be on the watch to signal Major Rabo and Lt. William Seri on the approach of the vehicle. So I came up and I was at the petrol station waiting.

‘’I was behind while we were talking when the Commander –in-Chief’s car passed. In fact, I did not even see it until when Malaki said the car has passed. So, we rushed in and then followed and the car was held somewhere just opposite the petrol station.

‘’Lt. Seri was approaching the car when we stopped and Major Rabo rushed to him, then the firing started. ‘’

Dimka confessed that after the Head of State was assassinated, he went to the NBC and made his broadcast that the young revolutionaries had taken over the government.

At the end of his trial, coup leader and a number of others were found guilty of treason and murder. Their death sentences were confirmed by the Supreme Military Council.

Dimka and seven others were eventually executed by firing squad at Kirikiri Prisons on May 15, 1976, for their part in the abortive coup. Also executed among the squad was the former Governor of the then Benue Plateau State, Joseph Gomwalk.

However, two NCOs, Sgt. Clement Yildar and Corporal Dauda Usman escaped and were never found. They were declared wanted by the authorities.

The situation led to the promulgation by Olusegun Obasanjo regime of certain retrospective decrees and new military laws justifying mass executions for coup participation. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

A BLIND man regains his sight and doesn’t tell his wife. The next day he asks for a divorce! –

Published

on

By

A businessman who had suffered an accident regains his sight after years of marriage, but what he sees his wife doing terrifies him, and he immediately asks for a divorce. The rain beat down on the living room window with that constant, disturbing sound that seemed to reflect the suffocating tension inside Hudson’s magnificent house. The dark sky and the strong wind made the trees outside sway violently, while the raindrops ran down the glass as if they were the poor man’s own tears of despair.

Hudson was standing in the middle of the room, his once calm eyes now red with fury. His closed fists were shaking while his heavy breathing filled the air.

“I can’t believe you did that to me… you, you!” he shouted, his voice brimming with restrained anger. With each word, his tone became more serious, more full of hatred. He paced back and forth, stomping hard on the wooden floor as if he wanted to crush something under his feet, leaving a trail of tension in the air…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Mary, near the sofa, could barely stand upright. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. What her husband revealed he knew about her left her shocked and speechless with fear. The despair on her face showed the depth of the guilt she felt, even though her words were mired in lame excuses. She sobbed, trying terribly to explain herself, her hands shaking as she searched for something, anything, that could calm down the situation.

“Honey, please, I… I love you!” she stammered, not knowing what else to say. “But I don’t understand how…” she asked, her voice weak.

Before she could continue, he cut her off brutally, his words like knives plunging through the air.

“Shut up! I can’t believe you’ve been cheating on me all this time!” Hudson growled, his feet pounding the floor in indignation.

Mary cried and begged for forgiveness, not knowing how to put out the fire she had caused. Meanwhile, in the narrow hall leading to the living room, two small figures were standing in the shadows, their eyes wide with fear. They were the couple’s children, watching this hellish scene and barely making a sound, frightened.

Their father, who had always been a calm, loving presence—like a true friend and hero to them—was now unrecognizable. Their mother, who wasn’t very close to them or affectionate but who never failed to take care of them, now seemed to fall apart in front of them.

Mary, still stunned, struggled to understand how her husband had found out the truth, how everything had fallen apart.

“How did you find out? I don’t understand!” The confusion in her voice was palpable, and her words barely came out as panic took over.

Then came the final blow.

“I can see now, Mary! You were never going to tell me the truth, were you?” Hudson roared, his voice echoing through the house like the thunder that resounded outside.

She opened her eyes wide in shock and fell to the ground as if the weight of the revelation had knocked her over. Open-mouthed and wide-eyed, the woman was unable to process what she had just heard.

“But… you’re… you’re blind!” she stammered, incredulous. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“Not anymore!” he shouted, anger still boiling in his voice.

His wife’s expression froze the moment the businessman revealed, without a shadow of a doubt, that he could see again. Her face, already wet with tears, now seemed drained of color. She was pale, petrified, unable to form any words. Her wide eyes were a reflection of the despair that was beginning to grow inside her, like a destructive wave. Panic washed over her as she tried to process that new reality. It was as if the ground had disappeared beneath her—everything had gone up in smoke.

However, before Mary could even react, the couple’s sons, Lewis and Marlin, heard their father’s revelation and ran out of the hall toward him.

“Daddy, daddy! Aren’t you blind anymore? Can you see us?” little Louie asked, his eyes shining with hope, while Marlin shook his head, incredulous and overjoyed at the same time.

Shock and happiness overtook the little boys, who had never imagined that their father would be able to see again. It was as if life had suddenly taken a turn they had never dared to dream of. The man knelt down and opened his arms, hugging them both tightly. He stroked each one’s face, the gentle touch of his big hands seeming almost sacred as he loved his boys so much. Tears of emotion began to form in his eyes as he looked for the first time in years at the faces of his children.

“Yes, my boys, I can finally see you,” he said, his voice filled with a mixture of happiness and pain.

The excitement was evident in the boys’ eyes as they smiled from ear to ear, finally seeing their father with their own eyes and, for the first time, really being seen by him.

But meanwhile, the cheating wife was still on the floor, her body now trembling, scared to death. Hudson turned his attention to her with an expression that could only be described as pure hatred. His eyes were filled with a fury that pierced her like never before. He stood up slowly, his heart burning like fire.

Mary tried to speak, but, “I’m…” she stammered, her voice breaking, trying to pull herself together as her dread grew by the second. She tried to get up, her body shaking, her hands trying to find support.

“Honey, for God’s sake, I can explain! Let’s talk, please! How did you get your sight back? I didn’t mean to do this! Hudson, listen to me, please!” The words came out fast and desperate. She reached out towards him as if asking for help, but her husband was beyond anger, beyond pain. He didn’t want to hear it.

“You’re a traitor, Mary!” he shouted, taking a step forward, his voice rising. “I want you out of my house! I want a divorce! And you’re not taking anything that belongs to me and my sons. What I saw—there’s no forgiveness. I will never forgive you!”

The hatred in his words was cutting. His wife stood up and looked at him, tears now mixed with the sheer terror of losing everything.

But what did Hudson see that made him so stunned that he wanted a divorce as soon as he regained his sight?

An INFERTILE woman dreams of becoming a mother, but one night, she wakes up to a BABY’S CRY coming –

Published

on

By

 

After years of unsuccessful attempts to have a baby, a young woman is diagnosed with infertility, and her life falls apart. But the next day, after fervent prayer, she finds a baby under her bed and is shocked to discover how he got there.

The sun shone in through Caroline’s bedroom window, filling the room with a golden light and bringing with it a comforting feeling of renewal. When she woke up, she was surprised to see that she was well-rested, something she hadn’t felt for a long time. It was the first time in months that she had slept so soundly and woken up in such high spirits. That’s because she was going through one of the most difficult times of her life…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

A few months ago, Caroline had received the devastating news that she would never be able to have children. The news came as a shock to her and her husband, who were planning to start a family. And, as if that wasn’t enough, her life began to fall apart. Soon after receiving the news of her infertility, she lost her husband and her job. She had truly hit rock bottom.

But on that sunny day, something seemed different. After months immersed in sadness and loneliness, Caroline woke up cheerfully, stretched, and went to the window to open the curtains. Outside, in the clear blue sky, the sun was shining brightly, and suddenly the young woman began to feel that something good was about to happen.

Everything seemed to be just another ordinary day, but Caroline had no idea that in just a few minutes, her life would change completely.

Still looking out of the window, observing life outside, watching the neighbor watering the plants and another picking up the morning paper, still in his robe, she began to hear a rather strange noise. At first, she thought it was nothing—maybe a little mouse in the walls. The sound was muffled, a bit distant, but it was there.

“What is that?” she thought, trying to identify where the noise was coming from. Suddenly, the noise got louder and clearer, and it was then that a baby’s cry broke the morning silence. Her heart almost stopped, and she jumped backwards, wide-eyed. She noticed for the first time something moving under the bed.

It was a baby, wrapped in a dirty, torn blanket, shaking his little hands and crying. Without thinking twice, Caroline took the little one in her arms, and at that very moment, her sister Jane and her brother-in-law Matt burst through the bedroom door, completely out of breath.

“What is it?” screamed Jane in despair. “Where’s the thief?” Matt asked, holding a lamp as a weapon, ready to face the danger. But when the two of them saw Caroline holding a baby in her arms, their mouths dropped open, and they didn’t understand a thing.

“Oh my God, Caroline, where did that baby come from?” asked Jane, incredulous.

It was then that Caroline, also unable to believe what was happening, said something that left them both even more shocked: “God gave him to me,” she said with emotion. “Last night, I prayed for a baby, and today God has given me one.”

Jane and Matt exchanged confused looks, totally lost, and Caroline, surprised by it all, could only believe that she had just been blessed with a miracle.

But what was really going on? Had God really miraculously given Caroline a baby? Well, to understand the story better, we need to go back in time a little and tell the story of Caroline and Lillian—two very different young women who, without knowing it, would have their lives linked by a miracle.

Three months before this whole mess, Caroline was in the car, looking out of the window as the landscape passed quickly by outside. She was on her way to her sister’s house, where she was moving after a painful and overwhelming divorce. The mountains, valleys, and small villages faded into the distance, but Caroline, lost in her own thoughts, didn’t even pay attention. She looked at the back seat and saw the few boxes she had brought with her.

“Wow, in the end, I didn’t even have that much,” she muttered with sadness.

Jane, who was driving, tried to cheer her up. “Oh, it’s okay, sis. When we arrive, we can go shopping. What do you think?”

But Caroline wasn’t interested in shopping. In fact, she wasn’t interested in doing anything at all. After everything that had happened, it was as if her life had lost its meaning. She was desperate and hopeless, and all she felt was an overwhelming emptiness in her heart.

When they finally arrived, Matt, her brother-in-law, who was already waiting at the door, welcomed them with a warm smile. “You’re here,” he said, trying to sound as optimistic as possible to ease the tension in the air. “Welcome to your new home, Caroline.”

The three of them unloaded the moving boxes in just a single journey, as after the divorce, the young woman had been left with almost nothing. It didn’t even look like a real move with so few things she had left. Jane and Matt let Caroline settle into her new room, but the space didn’t seem to bring much comfort to her heavy soul. Her mind was stuck in the painful memories of the past, especially the diagnosis that had destroyed her dreams: infertile.

You see, Caroline was always passionate about children. She was a preschool teacher, and everyone could see that this was her vocation. Ever since she was very young, her biggest dream was to be a mother and have a big, happy family. And it seemed that everything was moving in the right direction when she met Peter.

They had mutual friends and ended up meeting at a birthday party. There was an almost instant chemistry between the two, and they soon started dating. After three years together, Peter finally popped the question, and Caroline couldn’t have been happier. Everything seemed perfect—until they decided it was time to have children. That’s when things started to go wrong.

After several unsuccessful attempts, they decided to see a doctor. It was then that Caroline received the worst news of her life: she was infertile. It came as a tremendous shock, especially as becoming a mother was her greatest wish. To make matters worse, Peter, her husband and the love of her life, didn’t know how to deal with this new reality. He was very sad and soon after asked for a divorce. He was young and wanted children of his own. He knew that Caroline would never be able to give him that, so with a broken heart, he decided to leave.

“I want to have children of my own, Caroline. I’m sorry, but I can’t stay,” those were his last words before moving out of the house.

From then on, Caroline’s life fell apart. She fell into a deep depression. Over time, she could no longer handle her job and ended up being fired. To top it all off, she was evicted from the house where she lived, as she could no longer pay the rent on her own. But fortunately, Caroline wasn’t completely alone.

Her sister, Jane, was by her side the whole time, and when the situation became unbearable, Jane didn’t think twice. She went to get her sister to move in with her.

“Don’t worry about anything now, sis. Come live with me, recover, and then you decide what to do, okay?” said Jane, trying to lighten the load her sister was carrying.

That was young Caroline’s life now: no children, no husband, no job, no dreams. It seemed that she had nothing left. And that’s how Caroline arrived at her sister’s house, completely crushed. Jane thought that perhaps in a new city, in a new home, Caroline could start again. But inside, the young woman was still trapped in her grief.

And so the first three months in her new home passed slowly and painfully. Caroline spent her days locked in her room, only coming out to eat. Silence was her only companion, and her heavy thoughts were like a shadow following her. Jane and Matt did what they could, always offering support, but they knew it was a battle that Caroline would have to face and overcome alone.

Time went by, until one particularly rainy night, something changed. Caroline, lying in bed ready to go to sleep, watched the storm roaring outside. The sound of rain and thunder filled the silence of the room, which was only illuminated by the flashes of lightning that pierced the dark sky. Suddenly, the young woman felt something change in her heart—an urgency, a glimmer of hope, however faint. And for the first time in a long time, she said a prayer with all the will and belief she could muster.

Caroline asked God for a miracle: “Lord, if it is your will, make me a mother. Grant me this one miracle, that’s all I want. Amen.”

With this prayer in her heart, Caroline let herself be carried away by tiredness and fell into a deep sleep. But before she was completely asleep, she heard, or thought she heard, a soft, almost angelic voice whispering, “Take good care of him. He’s yours now.”

And so, the young woman slept peacefully until dawn.

The next morning, Caroline woke up with a different feeling, as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. The sun was streaming in through the window, filling the room with a warm, welcoming light. For a moment, she felt at peace, as if the world, after so much pain and loss, had taken on a new color—a new beginning. Caroline took a deep breath, thinking that perhaps something good could still happen.

But this tranquility was soon interrupted by a strange and unexpected sound. At first, she thought she was imagining things, but the sound became clearer and more unmistakable—it was a baby crying.

Totally confused, she looked around the room, not understanding anything, until she realized that the sound was coming from under the bed. With her heart racing, Caroline knelt on the floor and, trembling, looked under the bed. There he was—a tiny baby, wrapped in a blanket like a little package. The scene left her speechless. She stood there, frozen, unable to believe what she was seeing.

“Good Lord!” Caroline shouted, her voice full of shock. It was enough to wake Jane and Matt, who came running into the room, still in their pajamas. Frightened, they stopped at the bedroom door, totally lost, and found Caroline sitting on the bed holding a baby in her arms. The exchange of glances between the three of them said it all—nobody understood anything.

“Oh my God, where did that baby come from, Caroline?” asked Jane, her voice a little shaky, not knowing what to think.

Still trying to process the situation, Matt asked, “How the hell did a baby get here?”

With her eyes full of tears and the baby safe in her arms, Caroline looked at them both, not knowing what to say. “God gave him to me,” she said, moved. “I mean, I don’t know… I just prayed.”

“Last night, I prayed for a baby, and today God gave me one.”

But the truth behind the baby under the bed was much darker and more sinister than Caroline could ever have imagined.

It all started with a young woman called Lillian, who, a few days earlier, was on the run to save her life and that of her newborn baby. Lillian was a young girl who, unfortunately, made all the wrong choices in life. She fell in love with the wrong man, married him, and was now paying the price for it. The poor girl had no family or friends; her whole world revolved around her husband, Mark.

At first, like all couples in love, everything seemed perfect. But it didn’t take long for Mark to show who he really was. He was controlling, possessive, and had fits of rage, always suspicious of everything. He was always accusing Lillian of cheating, even though there was no reason for it.

“I know you flirt with the neighbor when I’m not here!” he shouted, full of jealousy. “If I catch you talking to another man, you’ll pay!”

After two years of marriage, Lillian discovered she was pregnant and couldn’t have been happier. She thought that with the arrival of the baby, Mark would finally become more affectionate and that their marriage would finally get better. But, contrary to what she expected, everything only got worse. The threats became even more constant and violent, and Lillian’s life turned into a nightmare.

The situation became unbearable when Mark, overcome by paranoia, said that the baby didn’t look like him and threatened to kill him.

“Look at him, Lillian! He looks exactly like the neighbor!” he shouted with a threatening tone.

“You’re crazy, Mark!” she protested.

That’s when Lillian knew she had no choice but to run, and that’s what she did, without looking back. But living on the streets, in constant fear of being found, wasn’t easy. The cold and the hunger were killing her. Desperate, she knew she wouldn’t last long, but she had to find a way to protect her son before it was too late.

Then, on that stormy night, while walking through a neighborhood of large, beautiful houses looking for shelter, Lillian saw a door ajar. Jane and Matt, who were both doctors and had rushed off for an emergency, had forgotten to lock the door, and the strong, merciless wind blew it open for Lillian, like a sign of fate.

The young woman, tired and with no strength left, felt something inside calling her. She couldn’t explain what it was, but without thinking twice, she went inside. The house was silent, with only a few dim lights on. Feeling the warmth and comfort of a home—something she hadn’t had in a while—Lillian walked cautiously to one of the bedrooms and saw a young woman sleeping peacefully. It was Caroline.

For a moment, she just watched the young stranger, analyzing every detail of her face. She felt a squeeze in her heart when she realized that she had found the right person to take care of her son. Weak and powerless, Lillian made the most difficult decision of her life. Whispering, almost without a voice, she said, “Take care of him. He’s yours now.”

With tears in her eyes, the poor mother put her baby under the bed, warm and protected, hoping that when the young girl woke up, she would find him and raise him with the love she could no longer offer.

Heartbroken, Lillian ran out of the house without looking back and returned to the streets. But that same night, her body couldn’t resist any longer. She collapsed in a dark, cold alley, but in peace, knowing that she had done everything to save her son. Her last thought was of her baby’s face, innocent and calm. With one last tear that mingled with the raindrops, Lillian felt her life slipping away, still wishing in her heart that her son was safe and sound.

The next day, Caroline woke up and found the baby in her room, without imagining how this would change her life forever.
