THE MAN WHO MARRIED 230 WIVES

You see, when I was a child and was told the story of Biblical Solomon's Harem, I believed not; for I thought it was a vain tale. However, after experiencing this encounter of the man who had married 230 wives, I was astounded.

Yup, 230 wives, crazy right? This tale is very hard to digest, anyways let's get on with the story. It happened like this.

Once upon a time, there existed a very wealthy man whom had wedded two hundred and thirty wives, that is excluding his first wife.

This very man's name was Ade Dough, that was before he changed it to Henry Court. The reason why he married such a number of wives as he holds not any position of Royal status is still not made known to me. What of you? Do you have any idea?

Henry Court, a man of his early fifties, the dream of many maidens was a charming, compromising, pure hearted and crazy rich man. He tended to love all his other wives, apart from his first wife. Princess Anita Kole, his first wife was such a compassionate beautiful flower, too pretty for any man to admire. The two of them have had a smooth sailing of the famous office romance between the CEO and the lowly cleaner, and later got married in their early years. Unfortunately, Princess couldn't bear a child.

If not seeing for myself, I wouldn't have believed she was such a damsel, even I became tempted then. Why? As Mr Henry's Harem grew, and his love for her gradually perished, her power as the eldest wife died along.

How sad, a day did not pass without Princess calling for rescue from the hands of the inferior wives. Dear Princess became slim and dreadful, like an abandoned pet hoping to die anyhow was she when she finally escaped from Court's Manor.

Princess Anita Kole, orphaned at a very young age and now disappointed by her husband, searched for trivial ways to survival. And just as it is said, the Creator hears the cry of his young ones, Princess' life started to build up.

Just as his surname prevailed, Henry's Harem was a battle ground. Every week, a special meeting was held amongst the family to settle disputes among the wives. Of course it was clear, except from those who were blind that the status of the eldest wife was needed for these wives to be in order. Huh? The second and third wives? They didn't care about orderliness, they were as idle as an ant waiting for bread to emerge from the surface of the Earth.

As for children, Henry Court only has one child, a son from his two hundred and twenty ninth wife, Javelin Court. And because she was the mother of his only child, he showered her with abundant love.
