Chapter 2 - A conjure of chaos

Uncomfortably,chief Boaz switched from the left cheek to the right cheek and went in to deep thoughts again.He recalled how his second wife had caused trouble to his household.Chaos and fights filled the compound as the two wives were never in good terms.His second wife had formed an alliance to wipe out chief Boaz's first wife's lineage from the face of the earth.She had sworn to ensure that she remain the only wife to the chief.Her mission was clear that no one else apart from her had the right on the chiefs wealth rather than her and her children.

Despite her house being some yards away from the elder wife's house,she would still walk into the elder wife's house and pick whatever she wanted and walk ridiculously without anyone uttering a word.Chief Boazs elder wife was a humble lady who was raised with a family which taught her that respect was a cornerstone to the pillar of life.She never urgued in any case no matter how extreme.She would give a sharp glimpse at it a sigh then walk away.Her way of handling matters was completely different and this even made the chief to live in fear.He feared her so much that he could not even dare to look her in the eye.She had a sharp gaze which burnt with rage to almost melt ones confidence.Everyone respected her so much in the village and if you came across anyone a description you would receive was that she was a humble lady who cared about everyone.Now,chief Boazs second wife had become a problem.

She had no respect for anyone,not even the chief himself.Her level of rudness and pride was so extreme to an extend that everyone in the village hated even the chief.People started to doubt the chiefs leadership and some protested to have the chief decrowned and another chief elected.This was because his family matters had become so heavy to handle that he could not lead his people anymore.He seemed burdened with his family's matters and anyone could tell that he was tired from his looks.His secomd wife was not teachable.She was a tough lady with pride on every one of her steps.She would not tolerate anyone who stood on her way.Her brain was nothing compared to her beauty.

She had the looks of an angel.her Amazonian figure sat well an her wafer-thin body.She had a decanter shaped waist and her complexion had an impeccable ochrous hue.her pencil-thin eyebrows eased down gently to her black beetle-leg eyelashes.a sculptor could not have fashioned her seraphs ear and pixies nose any better.when she broke into a smile,her beguiling oyster-white teeth lit up the room.it could jolt you like an electric current when that megawatt smile gave you her full attention.But she was a true definition of all that glitters is not gold.

She had brought shame to the chief's household.Everyone was now against the chief and this was not an easy matter.His choice had now conjured chaos to his household.He recalled when his wife warned him against this matter,she had told him to reconsider but he could not listen to her.He had made a decision out of anger and the outcome was a series of hatred between family and the community in general.On one particular morning everyone was woken up with a loud cutting scream in the air.In shock people assembled in groups wondering what the matter was.This kind of scream had never been heard before.They slowly followed the noise only to land at the chief's compound where a fight had fired up.A fight which no one would dare to get involved since it was a family matter.

The chief's second wife had been beaten mercilessly while the chief stood asie to just watch in shame.she had been fed dust and her clothes torn to almost expose every part of her body.It was so shameful that Boaz uttered no word.everyone looked curiosly into the chiefs compound waiting for hime to say anything but their expectations failed.He locked himself his hut.Outside people watched his hut with axiety for him to walk out but the doo remained shut as if no one was in it.In his hut,Boaz peeped through a crack on the wall to see wether everyone was gone and when finally no one was outside,he slowly walked out of his hut and sat below a mango tree in the middle of his compound.His mind sunk deep into thoughts.He would not withstand this kind of shame.This forced him to relocate the second wife to a distant village where he bought her land and they established a family.Chief Boaz forgot about his first wife and his children.He had decided to live a new life in this new village with his new wife.In the village everyone seemed to mind his own business.When Boaz arrived here,no one seemed to bother where he was from or what he had come there for.

The village was small and located in the midst of a valley.The valley was surrounded by a thick forest which was evergreen.People in this village lived in small huts and seemed uncivilized.The population was countable and seemed like a family.After Boaz's arrival and stay for some weeks,he had now become familiar with everyone and since he had been a man of wisdom,he decided to introduce a government to these uncivilized individuals.Since the population was small,he insisted that a chief was perfect for the head of the community and since everyone else had little knowledge about this he was appointed the chief.

Now chief Boaz was the problem solver in this village which was now renamed, Valley Of Peace.Everyone depended on him for matters that concerned the whole village and it's affairs.He never abandoned his mission of being rich and wealthy.He was now chief again in another village.
