He added:

"She told me the man responsible for her child abandoned her when she was pregnant, so I took responsibility for the child."

Later, he married her and legally changed her son’s surname to his own. According to his account, he invested heavily in both his wife and her child. He ensured the boy attended good schools, supported his wife in building a successful business, and provided her with financial stability.

By 2021, she had a car and even began building a house, which she claimed was for her mother. The couple went on to have two more children together, making them a family of five.

"I don't interfere in my wife's business; I respect her ideas, so I only encourage her to grow. I work full time, I'm my own boss, but I still make sure I go to work every day and spend the normal hours I've to at work, said @fabrisgassmoney.

He went on to say that every time he visited his wife, she was never at work and would always make excuses.

"Her excuse was always, she went to check on some materials. I have always believed her."

Over time, @fabrisgassmoney expressed how the topic of DNA testing became a subject of discussion in the office, which prompted him to question his own paternity. He was initially hesitant, but he eventually went through with the test, confident that the results would confirm his role as the father.

The revelation left him devastated. The DNA test results showed that none of the three children were biologically his. Shocked, @fabrisgassmoney stayed away from home for three days to process the news before confronting his wife in the presence of both families.

He called a meeting without his wife's knowledge, to which she allegedly confessed that the children belonged to Owura, her former partner, whom she had once claimed had abandoned her with their son. She further admitted that the house she was building was not for her mother but for Owura, who had been living in it. According to @fabrisgassmoney, his wife had been financially supporting her former lover throughout their marriage.
