My wife has practically finished me and I am sure only her death would wipe out this shame and disgrace that she has put me in.

This sad old man is really worried

It is now I know that no matter how long you live with a woman, you may never truly know everything about her.

No one can imagine that for 16 years, I have been nurturing and taking care of but belong to different men. I have been boasting to all and sundry about my children, not knowing that Dami was secretly laughing at me.

The truth about the paternity of the children was brought to the fore when two elderly family members called me one day when we traveled to the village for the last Christmas and asked me if I am really sure I was the father of my children because my first son had some strange characteristics.

I did not understand what they meant but they said they would not say much but that I should make some investigations. One of them said they noticed some strange behaviour from the boy that has never manifested in the family.

To stop any further discussion, I told them I would carry out some investigations though I knew in my mind, I would never do such as I was very sure of my children. Though I must confess that none of the kids looked like me or any member of my family but I had never given that a second thought.

But when we got back to Lagos, the discussion still rang in my head and at a point when I could no longer take it, I took the children to our doctor without Dami's knowledge and had the doctor run a DNA test on them.

How I wish I did not do that because when the results came out, it turned out that none of the children belonged to me.

I almost fainted when I got the results but I kept calm and when I got home, I asked my wife who the fathers of the kids were but when she wanted to pick up a fight with me, I showed her the results I had with me and she broke down and confessed that the kids were not mine.

She said that when she found out that I could not get her pregnant for five years, she had to do what she did because of my love for kids.

In the past one month since I made that discovery, I have not been myself and I have made up my mind to kill my wife for doing this to me.

Dear readers, after going through Festus' story on Morning Teaser today, how do you think he should handle this very dicey situation?
