Should she retrieve the "loan" she gave to her deceased fiancé from his junior brother who now manages the deceased's business?

A good friend told me this, and I thought I should share it with you so you could make some valuable suggestions.

:
There was this guy I loved so much. He loved me too. In fact, he was my fiancé. We got along very well. He was taking good care of me, and provided some of my needs. Then something happened. He took ill. I even had to resign my job to move to where he was, and take care of him at his sick bed. So many things took place in-between, but in the end, he didn't make it. He was snatched by the cold hand of death about 4 months ago. It was hell for me, but that's not the theme here!!!

It happened that he had my over N100,000, but he's deceased now. The little savings I made during my NYSC year he received the money from me when he had some goods he had to pay for, but haven't enough cash at hand, as most of his wealth was trapped in physical goods then. I heard he also borrowed about N1,000,000 from a friend to meet his obligations. He had a business apprentice who was aware he collected over N100,000 from me.

Now that he's gone, his junior brother now manages the business. It has come to my knowledge that the junior brother has paid off the guy from whom the deceased collected N1,000,000. I was expecting that he should be kind enough to also give me the over N100,000 his brother (my fiancé) received from me, as I am not that financially buoyant now. The apprentice told me he had informed the junior brother that the deceased received over N100,000 from me. I believe my deceased fiancé wrote down that he borrowed N1,000,000 from a friend, but I am not sure he penned down he got over N100,000 from me, probably because of the relationship between us.

I gave him the little savings I had because of how close we were, and what was between us. My senior brother knows the junior brother of the deceased, as well as the deceased, but I don't want him to be aware I gave such money to my deceased fiancé. Maybe, he could have helped me get back the money, but I don't want him to be in the know of the transaction. I was expecting that the junior brother should have deemed it good to repay the "loan."

Now, should I ask for the money from the junior brother of my deceased fiancé? If yes, how do I go about it?

For the love that existed between you guys ...forgo asking and you will be blessed. If the brother did not deem it fit to repay you, don't ask. Some how his brother's spirit will look for other means through which you will be rewarded many folds. Be steadfast and pray ..it helps.

Go to the younger brother and appeal to him.
Tell him about the money and how that it was a loan and you expected to get it back from him before the demise. Tell him you are cash-trapped now and need the money.
If he gives you, kool. If not, move on. No grudges.

Please, even if the *junior brother offers you double the amount, do not accept it. It would be an abysmal betrayal of love.

If the deceased were alive, he would have given her back the money.... What do you think?

My dear, let the money go for the sake of the love you guys shared. Take it as one of those things you did for love.

There's no crime in asking. Ask him i.e if you're really broke. But if he refuses..just forget bout it and move on. I bet you'll get something worth more dan a hundred grand later! God bless!

If it was a loan, I see no harm in asking for it back

I hope you have evidence that you borrowed the guy money oo. Cos if not, you are in serious poo
