Chronicle:

The promise of a better life beckoned for Sefiyat as Waziri Sr. was a man of great persuasive abilities. Their copulation was treated as heresy by his other wives (there were three more of them) when it came to their knowledge, as they swore never to share their husband with a common maid. As for Sefiyat’s mistress, if the other wives viewed her maid’s action with disdain, she saw it as an affront tantamount to a declaration of war. Her one-time favourite maidservant was now her vilest sworn enemy. Waziri Sr. on his part couldn’t care less what his wives thought of his liaison with Sefiyat but he was obligated to care what his father the family patriarch thought. Waziri’s grandfather didn’t gel with the idea of integrating the domestic help into the family. Marriages to the patriarch were more than a social obligation; they were an alliance of parties conducted for mutual interest. The young maid was fine as a concubine but ineligible to be a wife and member of the family by his standards. Thus Waziri was born by an unwanted mother out of wedlock but the rejection of his mother didn’t mean he was not accepted by his grandfather, far from it. His grandfather felt a special love for him from the moment he laid his eyes on him and their bond was the foundation of an empire.
