Tears of Ugomma

Episode 2

Then, finally, Ugomma got pregnant at the age of fourteen.

When she realized she was pregnant, she cried bitterly. Her whole life was beginning to threaten her.

What happens when her auntie finds out that her junior sister is pregnant?

Well, days came to pass, and Ugomma’s elder sister finally found out that Ugomma was pregnant.

When her elder sister knew about this, she beat the hell out of Ugomma, including Mr. Bernard.

While Ugomma Sister was beating, Mr. Bernard was making some signs for Ugomma that she should never open her mouth to say he was responsible.

If she ever tells anyone that he is responsible for the pregnancy, her name is sorry.

Ugomma was afraid of Mr. Bernard; she didn’t tell her auntie that it was her husband who got her pregnant.

Mrs. Felicia suggested that Ugomma be returned to the village.

But her husband never agreed with that; he suggested that Ugomma should take a DNC.

After so much argument

So they finally agreed on that decision, and they took Ugomma for a DNC.

It was such a painful experience for Ugomma that she cried her eyes out. After the DNC has been done

Like two days after the DNC was done, Mr. Bernard started abúsing Ugomma again. He sleéps with her all the time, like before.

This time around, after sleéping with her, he would force her to take some drugs—some kind of tiny drug to take to prevent Ugomma from getting pregnant.

These drugs were not friendly at all. After taking these drugs, Ugomma always felt unconscious, like she was not herself any more.

This drug kept on disturbing her; sometimes she would be feeling very weak and sick

Then Mr. Bernard came up with a plan; he took Ugomma to the hospital. They inserted something into Ugomma’s body, something she never knew about.

Due to that thing that was inserted into her body, Ugomma started seeing her periods like four times in a month. That strange

Ugomma’s auntie was complaining about this. How can someone be seeing her period like four times in a month?

Her elder sister became worried, then she took Ugomma back to the hospital, and they removed the thing that was inserted into her body.

After all this, Ugomma got infected with some kinds of infections—not sexually transmitted infections, but due to what was inserted into her body.

They quickly treated the infection without wasting time.

After some days, Mr. Bernard started sléeping with Ugomma again, and then Ugomma got pregnant the second time.

He secretly took Ugomma for a DNC, which was so painful. After some time, Ugomma got pregnant for the third time.

Ugomma's life was just miserable; her whole life was under Mr. Bernard’s control.

She doesn’t even have time for herself; she was always abused by her uncle.

To cut the whole thing short, Ugomma got pregnant like seven times.

Ugomma was 19 years old when she got pregnant for the seventh time. That was when her auntie finally found out again.

Her auntie took her to the hospital for DNC again. Then she asked Ugomma who was responsible for the pregnancy.

Mr. Ojo's Second Wife

Episode 2

I swear, there will be no peace in this house if he brings any woman here.

I will make sure she suffers until she uses her own leg to run from the marriage, Maria said.

The next day, Ojo was preparing to go visit his parents in the village.

He needs to discuss this with them. Ojo was going out of his house when he got a call.

Hello," the caller said.

Hello

Sir, you haven't been to the office for some days now.

Yes, I have something serious to take care of.

But, sir, we need you here to sign some business papers for us.

Oh no, I can't. I'm on my way to the village now. Just do anything you can do, please, Ojo said as he ended the call.

Actually, Ojo hasn't been to his office for days now; he wants to finish up with his new marriage before resuming office.

Ojo walked into his car and drove out of the compound.

He made it quickly to his village and was welcomed by his parents.

They sat on a long bench as they discussed about Ojo getting a new wife.

Papa I really love Esther, and I want to proceed with the marriage immediately.

My son, you have my full support. But taking care of two wives is not an easy job, Ojo's father said.

That is true, my son. Please listen to your father. Are you sure you want to do this? Ojo's mother asked.

Yes, mama, I am ready. Moreover, I have everything they need; I am wealthy, papa.

I know you are wealthy, but where do you intend to keep your second wife?

I don't understand your question, papa. They will stay in the same house.

No way, my son; that is not a good idea. Getting married to two wives is not bad, but putting them in the same house is very dangerous.

Mama, trust me, there will be no problem at all.
The two of them will get used to it as time goes on.

Well, if you say so, let's proceed with the marriage rights.

Ojo discussed a few things with his parents, and they finally concluded that they would be going to see Esther's parents next week.

Since the week is already coming to an end, Ojo decided to stay in the village till then.

Like magic, next week arrived. Ojo travels out of the village with his parents.

Yes, because his parents need to be present to witness the marriage.

It was a family marriage; only the two families attended the marriage.

Maria wasn't present in the marriage because she was never in support of it.

As time went on, everything was done successfully in the marriage.

Ojo's parents traveled back to the village, and Ojo took his new wife home.

That was when the drama began. Ojo entered his compound with his ranger.

They came out of the car and went into the house.

Maria was sitting on the couch watching a program when Ojo walked in with another woman by his side.

Immediately, Maria knew she was the second wife Ojo was talking about.

Good afternoon, ma. Esther greeted Maria but never got a reply.

Maria, are you not the one Esther is greeting? Ojo asked

But he also didn't get any response from Maria.

Don't mind her." Ojo said as he showed Esther to her room.

By evening, everyone in the family was gathering around the dining table.

Maria, please serve the food, Ojo said.

Ok, my husband, Maria said as she stood up and walked into the kitchen, and then came out with only two plates of food.

She gave one to her husband and took the other one for herself.

Maria What is the meaning of this? Can't you see we are three here? Ojo angrily said.

We are three, and so?
Is she not also a wife? She should better go and prepare her own food if she is hungry. Maria fired back.

Maria, please, this is her first time in this house, and you can't expect her to start doing all these immediately. By the way, there is enough food that will go around everyone. Ojo said

Whoever is hungry should go and prepare her own, and that final

Esther was slowly becoming angry, but she controlled herself, knowing that it was her first time and she couldn't misbehave.

The argument continued till Ojo had no option but to share his own food with Esther.

Waking up the next morning, Esther did all the housework even before anyone could wake up.

She continued making the whole house choice by herself.

Esther tried all the possible ways to make Maria her friend, but it always ends in a quarrel.

Maria left the house that same morning and went to visit Gloria.

Gloria was Maria's best friend; she was like a special adviser to Maria.

Maria explained everything to Gloria.

Gloria, please, I really need to stop that woman from taking my husband from me.

Calm down, Maria. I know of a plan that can help you with this. Gloria said

Really ?

Yes, I am sure it would work.

Ok, let's hear the plan. Maria insisted.

Gloria told Maria something in her ear, and they both laughed together.

Wow, what a nice plan! Let's see how she is going to pass this one. Maria said

Don't worry, my friend, I will keep helping you till you remove her from that house, Gloria said as they both laughed.

To be continued

What is their plan?
What do you think about Gloria? Is she a good friend?

The Pregnant Side Chick

Episode 2

“Are you the one who is pregnant for my husband?” Sophia asks. Her best friend Juliet was stepping out of the car with Ekene standing directly at her back. Her pregnancy has become big. Her belongings were in the boot of the car, but even before she could start walking into the house, Sophia already was there to welcome them.

“Yes! I’m the one. Are you surprised?” Juliet asked with strong frown on her face. She came prepared for a fight. She thought Sophia would stand in her way and try to stop her from entering the house. She thought Sophia would be heartbroken to find out that she has been the side chick sleeping with her husband. But she was shocked when things turned out differently.

“Of course not! Why would I be surprised? On the contrary, I’m not angry and I’m not shocked. In fact, I’m grateful that you are the one. Instead of my husband to get a harlot pregnant, it is better he impregnates my best friend. I mean, I have known you since childhood and we have been friends. The devil you know is better than the angel you don’t know. I will be eternally grateful to you for carrying my husband’s baby. I have seen that he is happy about the pregnancy. I’m here at your service to help in any way I can during the nine months you will carry the child. Juliet, you are highly welcome to our house.” Sophia declared with a broad smile on her face.

Ekene’s shock went deeper. He wondered what kind of a woman his wife turned into in the past few days after she learned of the pregnancy.

“What kind of woman finds out that her husband got her friend pregnant and then welcomes him and the pregnant woman with open arms? What kind of woman is this?” Ekene asks himself. It was like he never knew his wife, yet, they had been married for ten years. She has revealed a new character that shocked him.

“Let’s get your things into the house.” Sophia said as she started unloading the car and taking Juliet’s load into the house. Out of shame, Ekene joined her to move the loads into the house. Juliet carried nothing as she merely walked in and sank into one of the cushions in the living room. It was around 5pm in the evening.

When Ekene brought in the last bag, he was greeted with loud cheers and laughter that filled the living room. He wondered what was going on. He moved closer towards the dining area and saw that tables and chairs were set for a small party. He wondered what was going on because he did not ask anyone to come for any party or celebration.

“What’s going on here?” Ekene asked his wife who was coming out from the kitchen with a large cooler of jollof rice. She placed the jollof rice on the dining table and then tore open bags of take away plates and started dishing jollof rice for the guests.

“Ah Ah! My dear husband. Don’t tell me you want to bring your baby mama home in a silent way. It is not done that way and that was not how we were brought up. In Igbo culture, when you are bringing a new wife home, you must let your neighbours know and you must make some joyful noise. That is why I invited our friends and well-wishers and even our church members to celebrate the new addition with us.” Sophia said as she continued to dish jollof rice and handing the take away plates to waiting guests.

“Ekene, your wife is right. You cannot just bring a second woman home without letting your friends and family know. We have come to rejoice with you. Congratulations my man. You will soon be a father.” Kunle said as he drew closer to hug Ekene and pat his back. He was holding a cup of wine which he quickly gulped and placed the empty glass on the table.

Ekene stood hands akimbo, not knowing what to do. He did not respond positively to Kunle’s hug. Juliet had left the living room and joined Ekene where he was standing. Both of them were stupefied and confused, not knowing how to approach the party. Ekene felt ashamed and so was Juliet.

“Please ladies and gentlemen hold on! May I have your attention please?” Sophia said to call the attention of the party guests. Everyone stopped eating and drinking and looked in Sophia’s direction.

“You all are my friends and some of you are friends with my husband. You are welcome to this small get together and thanks for honouring my invitation at such short notice. You all know I and my husband have been struggling to have children since we got married ten years ago, but we have not succeeded. I have not been able to get pregnant no matter how we tried.

“I have visited many clinics and even gone to see native doctors but nothing has worked positively so far. But thanks goodness, my friend here, Juliet is now pregnant for my husband. Our problem of childlessness has been solved. I want to specially thank Juliet for getting pregnant and agreeing to keep the baby. And I also thank her for agreeing to come live with us. I shall be eternally grateful to her. To my wonderful husband, I most sincerely appreciate your patience these past years. I do not blame you for anything and I’m not angry that you got my best friend pregnant. Be rest assured of my love. When this baby is born, I shall nurture her like my own. Everyone cheers to the new addition to my family.” Sophia said and everyone chorused cheers. She went back and continued to dish jollof rice.

Ekene felt very stupid. He never knew his wife Sophia ambushed him with a surprise party which in his estimation was purely meant to embarrass him in the presence of his friends and neighbours. Before the party, no one knew he got another woman pregnant, but after then, it became the talk of the town that he impregnated his wife’s friend.

He was so embarrassed that he could not lift his feet where he was standing. He felt ashamed and his side chick, Juliet was also ashamed. She did not understand why a wife will throw a party to welcome a side chick who got pregnant for her husband.

Shortly, Sophia dished two plates of jollof rice and served Ekene and Juliet. She added two big chunks of meat and two bottles of malt. For the first time in many days, Ekene ate his wife’s food. He ate it because she dished it from the same cooler she was dishing for others at the party. He knew no way she could poison the entire cooler and not kill everyone. Yet, he and Juliet still ate with fear.

When everyone was gone, Ekene and Juliet were lying down in the living room with a new mattress he had bought the day before. But Sophia came and woke them.

“I have vacated the bedroom for you people. I have prepared the guest room. Henceforth, I will be staying there. Please Juliet, don’t reject this. I’m not angry in anyway. I just want the best for you and my husband, and also the baby. The two of you should go to the bedroom and sleep comfortably.” Sophia said as she went away.

At that point, Ekene and Juliet looked at each other with more fear in their eyes.

“What kind of woman vacates her matrimonial bed for a side chick who is pregnant for her husband?” Juliet asks Ekene.

“I don’t know what she is up to. But, I’m not sleeping in this house. I’m now very scared. I’m convince she is up to evil. Please follow me right now.” Ekene said. They went outside and slept in the car.

Watch out for episode 3.

Tears of Ugomma

Episode 1

Uncle, please, you are hurting me. Ugomma who was a child cried as her sister’s husband continued abu-sing her.

Life was a living hell for Ugomma; all this started when her mother died. She was 7 when she lost her mother.

Ugomma was born into a family of thirteen. When her mother died, they had to split to different relations

Ugomma was the second-to-last born of the family.

Some of her siblings had to go live with their cousins; others went to stay with their auntie.

Ugomma went to stay with her elder sister, who lives in a different state. When she went to her elder sister’s house, everything was going well with her.

Her elder sister’s husband was not around when Ugomma came; he went on a business trip.

But Ugomma's story changed when her elder sister’s husband returned from his business trip; his name was Mr. Bernard.

When Mr. Bernard came back home, everything changed for Ugomma. She started seeing hell.

Three days after Mr. Bernard arrived, something happened.

Ugomma was outside playing around the house when her elder sister came to her and said, ”

Make sure you look after all those things I keep outside, and also don’t forget to eat your food when you are hungry. Mrs. Felicia instructed and left for the market.

Immediately when Ugomma's elder sister left for the market, Ugomma heard her name from inside the house; it looked like her sister’s husband was calling her.

So she quickly ran inside to meet him.

What are you doing outside? Mr. Bernard asked

Nothing,” Ugomma answered in fear.Although Ugomma was only seven years old, any little thing could scare her.

Mr. Bernard drew her closer to himself and dipped his hands into her clothes.

Ugomma was only a child; she never understood what her uncle was doing to her; she just stood in silence.

She started feeling some pain around her while her uncle kept abusing her.

Her uncle continued taking advantage of her till he got the satisfaction he was looking for.

Ugomma didn’t feel much pain that day. Because Mr. Bernard didn’t touch her deeply.

But Ugomma knew in her mind that what her uncle was doing to her was not a good thing.

Her uncle dressed her up and warned her never to tell anybody.

Ugomma was afraid of her uncle, so she promised not to tell anybody about it.

Even sometimes, she would try talking to her older sister, but she ignored her.

That was how Ugomma's life changed for the worse; she kept growing up in pain.

Mr. Bernard still didn’t feel satisfied because his wife is always around the house. So he wasn’t able to have s e x with Ugomma the way he wanted.

Sometimes he would send his wife to different meetings just to make sure he slept with Ugomma.

He opened a shop for his wife, so she will be staying at the shop at all times.

He did this so that he would have enough time to spend with Ugomma.

Her uncle further went to start having s e x with her; he turned Ugomma into his s e x slave.

From seven years old, she became nine years old, and then she continued to face her uncle, who always abuses her se-xually when her older sister is not around.

When Ugomma was 12 years old, her uncle started having direct se-x with her.

Mr. Bernard was never bothered by how the poor girl felt, but he was only concerned about his satisfaction.

Ugomma never told her elder sister about what her husband was doing to her; she was afraid of what her uncle might do to her.

Then, finally, Ugomma got pregnant at the age of fourteen.

Mr. Ojo's Second Wife

Episode 1

You will not marry a second wife in this house; I have been with you for a long time.
And you must accept that fact, Maria angrily said to her husband.

Just calm down; you know why I am doing this already. I'm getting old already; there is no time for me, Ojo said.

Mama needs grandchildren for God's sake; apart from that, I also need some that will bear my name.

I know you are getting old; why can't you wait for God's timing instead of marrying another woman? It will not work in this house. I am your only wife, and nobody is going to take my place. Maria fired back at her husband.

For Ojo to deliver this kind of news to Maria was something Maria never expected from her husband.

Maria has been married to Mr. Ojo for over ten years now, but she was unable to bear him a child.

That is what is currently causing problems for her and her husband.

A lot of checks have been made in the clinic, and it was confirmed that Maria doesn't have the potential to bear a child.

Ojo has waited for God's time for a long time, but he can't wait any longer.

Marrying a second wife was the last suggestion that came to his mind, and he is ready to do it.

He has been afraid of telling his wife for a long time, but he finally delivered the sad news to her.

Ojo also discussed his plan with his parents, and they happily agreed with his decisions.
Especially as they wanted a grandchild.

Maria was not happy with her husband bringing another wife into the house.

If another woman comes in and gives Ojo a child, that means Maria will have nothing to inherit from her husband's wealth.

Ojo was a very wealthy man.

and that is her greatest reason why she doesn't want her husband to marry a second wife.

Look! Maria I have made up my mind about this, and no one is going to stop me, Mr. Ojo said to his wife.

And please, when I bring her in, I want you to act nice with her. I won't tolerate problems, please.

I might bring her in next week.

Esther was the woman mr Ojo was planning to marry as a second wife

Ojo met Esther at his work place, she has been his friend for over three years now. Esther was that kind of woman any man would love to marry

When you talk of beauty, she has it. Especially good character. That was what made Ojo lover her the more.

I will not act nice with anyone here; if you don't want problems, then don't bring any women here. Maria answered

Please, I have said my own; he said he left the house.

So this man wants to spoil everything for me; let's see how he is going to marry that useless wife, Maria said as she sat down on the couch with her hands folded.

Because I can't bear him a child, is that even enough reason to marry another wife? Can't he wait for God's time?

I can't believe Ojo is doing this to me.

I swear, there will be no peace in this house if he brings any woman here.

I will make sure she suffers until she uses her own leg to run from the marriage.

The pregnant side chick

Episode 1

“I got another woman pregnant.” Ekene said to his wife Sophia. Before he got home that night, he had made up his mind to say the whole truth instead of trying to hide it. He knew his wife would not like to hear it but he believed it was the best thing to do.

“It was a mistake, but I will tell the girl to keep the baby. A scan shows she is expecting a baby boy. I have always wanted a baby and you know we have not been able to have one since we got married ten years ago. I have been patient enough and I decided to try outside. Please, I still love you. Forgive me Sophia.” Ekene said. His voice had a measured tone, dropping each word with care.

“Okay. No problems. I’m happy for you. Congratulations!” Sophia said as she hugged her husband and left the living room to the bedroom where she slept off peacefully.

Ekene wondered why his wife did not get angry with him concerning the pregnancy. That night, he could not sleep beside his wife. He slept on the couch in the living room because he was unable to understand her attitude. Ekene was scared that his wife might use a kitchen knife to stab him to death if he sleeps on the same bed with her.

“What kind of woman hears that her husband got another lady pregnant and keeps quiet about the whole thing? Why didn’t she get angry? Why didn’t she ask any questions concerning the girl? Why didn’t she react in an angry way? This is very scary and I’m terrified.” Ekene said to himself while he lay on the sofa and stared on the white ceiling. From that night, Ekene made up his mind to keep a safe distance from his wife Sophia until he is convinced that she won’t harm him.

Sophia woke her husband up the next morning with breakfast which she prepared with much more love than she used to do in the past.

“Honey good morning. Hurry up and eat so that you will go to work.” Sophia said as she tapped her husband’s shoulder.

“And why did you sleep here last night? I was expecting you in bed. I’m sorry, I slept off and I didn’t realize you were not beside me. I missed you so much in bed my darling.” Sophia said. She left the living room. She was already dressed up for work as she is a teacher. When she went out, he husband went straight to the toilet and flushed the food she served him.

“How can I tell my wife that I got another woman pregnant and she never said a word of anger or questioned me about the identity of the lady? And to crown it all, she woke me up with delicious breakfast. I have reasons to believe that my life is in danger.” Ekene said. He got ready and went to work. It was when he got to work that he bought some food at the canteen and ate.

On his way back, he also bought some food and hid in his bag. He ate it in his car before he started to drive the final lap of the journey home. He already made up his mind not to eat his wife’s food. He had reasons to believe that she would poison him to death with rat poison.

“Welcome home darling! I have been patiently waiting for your return. What kept you so long? You must have had a hectic day at work today. Please, I boiled water for you to take your bathe. And when you are done, food is waiting for you at the dining. I have prepared your favourite egusi soup.” Sophia said as she collected her husband’s bag and helped him pull off his suit and then led him into the bathe room where he took his bathe.

As he showered, Ekene continued to think of how he would tell his wife that he cannot eat her food. That was practically impossible because she was waiting for him at the dining table. There was little he could do to avoid the egusi soup. In his mind, he was very convinced that the food was poisoned.

“Why is she treating me with so much love after I told her that I got another woman pregnant? This is very suspicious and not what I expected. I will find a way. I won’t eat that food. I don’t want to die yet.” Ekene said.

When he came out from the bathroom, he snatched his phone from the table and rushed out of the house.
“I have been asked to come back at work. I will be back soon. There is an emergency at the hospital and I must go and attend to it.” Ekene said. He is a medical doctor, so his wife must understand that emergencies like this happen from time to time. So, she didn’t say a word when he rushed out but merely looked with her eyes wide up.

Ekene did not return home that night. In the morning, he walked into the house looking tired and worn out. He passed the night in his car.

“Good morning honey. You are welcome. You must be very tired and you need rest.” Sophia said as she opened the door for her husband. It was a Saturday, so she would stay at home. Ekene went straight to bed and slept off.

In the evening, Sosphia served her husband another plate of the same egusi soup, but he started acting up again, trying to rush out of the house but Sophia blocked the door.

“I noticed you have not been yourself recently. What is the matter?” She asked Ekene.

“It’s nothing. I’m facing pressure at work. I just need some time to fix things.” Ekene lied.

“Stop it. You are lying to me. You are a medical consultant with fifteen years of experience. There is no pressure at work that would make you to reject your wife’s food. Or you think I didn’t know you flushed the food I served you the other day? You have been deliberately avoiding my food. You think I will poison you? Or, is it about the girl you got pregnant? My dear! I have no single problem with that. I’m absolutely happy about it. I’m happy we are having a child. In fact, I want you to bring her to start living with us. That would be very sweet!” Sophia said.

Ekene was shocked even more by his wife’s suggestion. He had expected her to get angry and move out of the house thereby finally giving him the chance to marry the girl he got pregnant. But Sophia’s reaction to the whole thing took him by surprise.

He was even more scared at the moment.

“May be she wants to poison the two of us together and kill the unborn baby.” Ekene said in his heart.

“Honey! Did you hear what I said?” Sophia asked, tapping her husband back to reality.

“Yes I heard you. I will think about it.” Ekene said. The next day, he informed Juliet that he would want her to come live in his house.

“Has your wife moved out? I don’t want to share you with anyone.” Juliet asked.

“Surprisingly, my wife has accepted for all of us to live together. In fact, the amount of love she has shown me since I broke the news to her has surprised me. I have not eaten her food since then. I don’t want to die of rat poison. Please, listen to me. Be very careful when you move into my house. Don’t eat anything she gives you and stay strictly on your lane until I find another apartment for us.” Ekene said.

The next day, Juliet moved into Ekene’s house.

Watch out for episode Two.

" I will say I am one of the lucky men when it comes to marriage, God really blessed me in that aspect for the few years I spent with my wife. We had a beautiful marriage even though it was so short.

I am currently 38 years old, I got married at the age of 31 to my beautiful wife. I didn't have a good experience with my mother. Growing up, I saw firsthand how she verbally abused my dad.

My mum is a very tough person, and my dad, who has been a quiet man, really went through a lot in her hands, and I was so young to do anything. She wasn't kind with her words and actions she is always angry.

I was still in primary school when I lost my dad. Years later, she moved on to a married another man, which was expected.

I and my elder brother grew up with our dad brother. His wife showed us shege, I don't even want to talk about that now.

So the mindset I had about women is that they are harsh, unkind, and that they maltreat people until I met my wife.

Before then, I avoided women so much. When I was in the university, all I did was study and church. I didn't pay attention to sisters

I met my wife during my service year, and we connected so well. At first, it seemed like a brother to sister relationship because it was so pure, then it grew to love, and we decided to get married

We got married after two years of knowing each other, and our marriage was so beautiful and peaceful. She is everything I ever wanted

I felt like God used my wife to compensate me and to allow me to enjoy that feeling of genuine love.

I was a young man trying my best. She didn't put any pressure on me. We put resources together to achieve our goal.

When she got pregnant after 2 years of our marriage, the pregnancy journey was tough on her. Every day, I wished I could help her with the process if it were possible. I watched her go through certain stress, and I couldn't do anything. When she was to deliver right in the labour room, the doctor said labour didn't progress, so we ended up with CS

She gave birth to my beautiful daughter, I was happy and scared too. I was scared of another pregnancy journey, and I didn't want anything to happen to her

2 years later, she wanted another baby. I wanted us to hold on for a while, but she insisted because of the two years delay she had after we got married.

Her fear is what if she gets another delay when we are ready. So we started trying again

She got pregnant, and we started experiencing different complications. Then, her BP was on the rise. When she was 7 months gone. she complained one day that she wasn't feeling good, so I took her to the hospital.

The doctor said they could no longer feel the baby heartbeat. They did scan, and the baby was not moving. She was booked for an emergency surgery

She was operated on, and the baby was already dead. Everything seemed fine until she started bleeding

We bought blood, and people donated blood, but the bleeding continued. I saw my whole world crumbling, and I couldn't help.

She was bleeding throughout that night till the next morning. She couldn't make it.

Till date, I still wish we didn't try to have another baby she will still be here to we take care of our daughter together. It was such a beautiful and short experience.

Right now, all my focus is on raising my daughter, who is 3 years old now."

THE RICH MAN'S WIFE
Episode 10 (Last Episode)

Susan established a foundation to assist women who were suffering, sick or abused. The foundation was created to honor the memory of Susan's late mother, The foundation had doctors who will treat sick women for free, Lawyers who will defend and fight for the abused women for free.

Twice a week, The foundation gave out food, medication and money to less privileged women. And one day, Susan was shocked to find Anna her old friend among the women who came to the foundation for help. Anna was embarrassed when she knew that Susan was the founder of the Foundation, she bowed her head in shame. But Susan hugged her instead and took her to a quiet place, where they could talk without disturbance.

" Anna what happened to you?" Susan asked as she ran her eyes on her friend.
"Susan, it's a long story, my husband travelled out and since then he had not sent a dime home, he abadoned me and my children, just last week he returned but not for us, he returned with a white woman, he didn't even come to check on us...............I had a store in balogun market, which I have been managing all these while. But suddenly last month, the market caught fire and all my goods got burnt and that is how I became helpless, a neighbor told me about your foundation, that they assist women, today is my first time of coming here for help, I never knew you were the founder... Susan I have been looking for you all these years to apologise, I insulted you because of money, I'm sorry, please forgive me" Anna said in tears

Susan shook her head in pity and consoled Anna and she told her that everything will be fine.
She brought out her cheque book, and she gave Anna, a cheque of 1 million and Anna almost died of excitement.
"This is too much, I don't deserve it" Anna said
"My friend you deserve it, for two years, you always gave me money whenever I begged you for money, so I won't call you a bad friend because you refused to give me more, please use this money well, God will help you" Susan entered and she hugged Anna
"Thank you my Friend, God bless you" Anna said in tears.

Don't mock people that seek your help.The sun that melt the Butter is the same sun that harden the clay. Life is a vicious circle.

Marriage isn’t easy as it requires a lot of sacrifice, forgiveness and patience; if you aren’t willing to do these three listed things, then don’t bother venturing into marriage because you would run out

A winning wife is a prayerful wife, a praying wife is an equipped Wife....
Every man needs a prayerful wife!! 🙏🏽

Dear men, it is wrong to have money and there’s no evidence or reflection of that money on your wife, she looks unkempt, tattered, suffering without any proper care, you fail to realise that your wife is your reflection.
Your wife is a mirror through which people will see you, if your wife is always sad and looking unkempt, she becomes a mirror and a reflection of you as the husband, it’s a reflection suggesting that you’re failing.

You feel so ashamed of introducing her to your colleagues at work, you are ashamed of taking her to various functions and meetings, the truth is, the reason you feel ashamed is because your partner is your reflection, a hungry-looking and tattered wife suggests the husband is failing, she’s a reflection of your duty.

Your wife is your lifetime project, you don’t graduate from that calling, it is a calling, an assignment, she was put under your care, to nurture, love, lead and protect, she’s your duty, your work, your project you don’t graduate from , there’s no break, it’s a lifetime commitment

This doesn’t in any way encourages women to be lazily sitting around waiting for a man to come to upgrade them, as a woman you must also work and improve yourself, develop yourself, be the best version of yourself, this will make his lifetime calling easier.

Many men haven't understood the miracle in having a wife. They don't know the true estimate of the value of their wives. Carefully read...

Your wife is your completer: Only your wife completes you. It is an error to tell your wife that you would have done well without her. Anytime you think you're whole, don't forget that it is your wife that completes you. YOUR WIFE IS YOUR COMPLETER NOT YOUR COMPETITOR.

Your wife is your burden bearer: Listen only your wife truly shares in your pain. Every other person is a sympathizer only your wife feels your pain. Notice this, YOUR WIFE WOULD WAKE UP AT MIDNIGHT TO PRAY TO GOD BECAUSE SHE SHARES IN YOUR PAIN NOT JUST SYMPATHIZES.

Your wife is your strength: Most men think their wives are weaklings. No! Your wife is your strength. Your wife can discern dangers than you. Only your wife knows which of your friend is insincere and deceitful. DON'T FORGET THAT YOUR WIFE KNOWS THE WORST THINGS ABOUT YOU YET NEVER THREATENED YOUR HONOUR AND PRIVACY. Most times when people want to know how strong and serious you're they will check your wife.

When someone does something wrong like Anna, please don't forget all the good things they did before or have been doing. Use that to forgive them and give them a second chance, We are all not perfect

Fight all your battles with prayers, you will always WIN.

The End 🙏

🙁GOD FEARING BROTHER👨

Episode 12 ( Final )

The pastor and his boys were seriously dealt with and jailed I resumed at school after a week from my ordeal..
I refused telling my mom all that happened, I didn't trust her health and feared she may break down hearing such a thing happened to me.

It was a relief God rescued me and on my own I slowly walked into a church without seeing the name whatever.
I bowed my head on the chair there with my knees on the floor thanking God over and over again as it was my birthday.

I didn't remember such a thing not until I saw it on Facebook that it was my birthday. I was just there, that was the only place I saw fit to celebrate for it was only his grace that gave me that privilege to see a new year.

All the calls that came in that Saturday was all ignored. I didn't have that quiet time with God after my ordeal for there were so many questions I needed him to answer.

Was I wrong praying for a God fearing man for a husband? For I remember a preaching that said your marriage determines your end if you'll make heaven or not. I needed a man who knows the way of God, his teachings and will encourage me more in the faith. I didn't want a man who will drag me backward or make me fall on the way, but why does it seem so difficult? Its my 26th birthday and I was not understanding why God kept ignoring this one request or didn't I pray it well???

I was just there communicating from one thing to another and didn't know when I dozed off still on my knees.

I saw my late father, its been long I saw him as I kept staring at him.
"Papa? I asked to be sure but he smiled and walked slowly which I walked beside him.

We said nothing to each other until we got to a place where stones where and he sat on one. He heaved and looked at a fine stone on the ground and turned it round and I saw worms and dirt under it.

"Some people may be so pure and clean on the outside, but the inside they are not different from this rock.
Only God knows his, and when you pray to him do you always listen? He asked and I was just looking at him.

'I don't understand, I replied.
"Most times our answers were released after praying but we chose to be blind and deaf because it didn't come in the format we expected or the way you feel it should have come. You judge by your feelings but not what God thinks. He gave you the answer to your prayers long ago yet you rejected, then he gave you exactly what you wanted and it almost took your life. What exactly do you want him to do for you? My dad asked and I gasped.

"He did? I asked and I immediately woke up when I felt a tap on my body and I saw a man and I stood up.
"Sorry you slept off, do I know you? He asked.

"No you don't, I only wanted to pray, okay I'll be going now thanks, I replied taking my bag and quickly left.
I got home and saw Susan who practically wanted to tear me apart for ignoring her calls but I quickly told her the dream I had.

"Okay na, so your answers were released since but you wanted God fearing ba? Susan asked.
"Its not funny, I replied not happy with the tone she used.

"Whatever. Will you eat suya? Joshua will be taking us out in the evening and if you say no I'll slap you! Susan seriously said that I burst out laughing.............

A month later Susan traditional marriage date was fixed. The principal was damn serious with her and I felt so sorry I judged them wrongly when I got to know the principal past. His fiancee died in a motor accident 2 weeks to their wedding, and it really broke him not until he met Susan.

I came to love them so much and was so happy for my dear friend despite I was smelling jealousy for her in the past... But not anymore.

I and Joshua on the other hand became so close and together ran around for Susan wedding. Joshua never brought up any likeness talk whatever but I was developing likeness for him myself.

But eh John experience was still getting me scared, I had to tell God to please lead the way and show me a Sign.
I didn't want to make any mistake again, I just handed everything to God hands.

Susan was already married as I watched her dancing where I stood and my mom touched me,
"Beautiful isn't it? My mom asked.

"Very beautiful, I'm so happy for her, I replied her and she nodded and I looked at her,
"Don't worry mama if anyone comes again I'll let you know first, I said thinking she's going to ask when my own will come like most mothers will do.

"Oh that, he already met me, she said.
"Eh who? I asked not understanding at all..

"Which one is who? He met me already na, is it not Joshua? She asked and I was looking so stupid.
"Joshua met you for what? I asked and left her immediately to find him.

I saw him sitting with our colleagues in school and I excused him,
"What's wrong? He asked when he met me.
"I don't understand, what did you meet my mom for? He asked and he looked around scared.

"Not now Amanda, let talk in a more private place, he pleaded.
"Why? I mean why should it be private? I want to know what you told my mom that you didn't tell me first, I said.

"You want to know? He asked.
"Of course I want to know and that's why I'm here, I replied.

"That I like you, that I want you, that I want us to have this moment some day. Will you tell me to take it back again? Or I'm not God fearing and that heaven sent you've been praying for? This was what I told her because I was scared to lose you when I'll say this to you and we'll become enemies again, Joshua blurred out while I stood looking at him.
"Why didn't you tell me this? Do you know how I feel my mom is the first to hear this before I did? I asked.

"I don't understand, were you expecting this from me? He asked.
'Okay since you told my mom first go and have her then, she's yours, I replied trying hard not to admit.

"Is that it? Well no problem, she's good for a sugar mommy anyway only if you won't act jealous, he said and I smirked and burst out laughing.
"So Amanda will you tell me to take my words back? He asked.

"Yes, I replied putting on a serious look..
"Which part? He asked.

"The sugar mommy part, because I'll break your head, I replied.
"Ohhh okay that was a joke anyway but what about the first part? Joshua asked and I smiled looking down and he held my hand.

"Don't worry, you can call me brother Joshua if that will make you convinced i don't mind, he said and I laughed hitting him.
"Silly you, sure brother Joshua, I'm getting convinced, I replied.

"I take that as a yes, he said.
"And its a yes, I already asked for a sign and God gave me one but you went to your sugar mommy first, I said and he laughed happily and hugged me............

3 months later I settled with my own God fearing man, the one just for me. Staying with him made me know him better and I asked myself what i would have done if i had lost him because he didn't look like what i wanted him to be.
I judged him by his cover not minding the content, but he was the full package and the answer to my prayers. Everyday with him was blissful, and i thanked God he disciplined me the hard way to open my eyes to my own God fearing man!

The end

"I'm 38 years old and I have been married for 8 years with two kids. My wife and I have been living peacefully since I was in Nigeria even until I left for Texas.

She has been very wonderful and industrious I love her so much and will never trade her for anyone. I've never cheated or even thought of cheating on her because she is more than enough for me.

I placed her on a monthly salary of N150k for her upkeep while I take care of every bill in the house. I left for Texas 2 years ago and since then I send her N400k monthly to take care of herself and the kids.

I later increased it to 600k when she complained of inflation and the struggle during cashless policy and redesign of Naira saga.

She has a best friend named Lucy, they've been friends since university days even before I met her and they bond so much like sisters.

Lucy is not married but she owns a big supermarket so she is financially stable. They attend parties and events together, she visits my wife often and my wife invites her to my home to stay whenever I travel until I come back.

I do not complain because I appreciate that my wife has someone she loves as a sister since she doesn't have any sibling. My kids love her so much and she is my go-to person whenever I want to surprise my wife.

After I traveled, Lucy came as usual to stay with my wife and I would always shout out to her whenever I get the chance to do so.

I came back last month and as usual I got gifts for everyone including Lucy. She thanked me happily and left but I was surprised at the luggages she brought to my house cos it was literally like she moved into the house.

It was a very happy reunion, we were allover ourselves. My kids couldn't get enough of me, we all hanged out the next day and it was all fun.

I planned to surprise my wife with her visa and that of our kids because we've been working on it since last year December and it was approved last month which was one of the reasons I came back.

She had no idea that the visa was approved cos I've been the one following it up so I wanted to surprise her with it. I told her that I would travel to Abuja for a very important get-together and I wanted her to come with me.

She told that she has an event as well to attend with Lucy that same day and it was really surprising to me because I know my wife as my handbag.

She likes to follow me to anywhere I go especially parties and would do anything to make me agree to it. I enjoy her company a lot as well.

My original plan was to surprise her after the get-together party at Abuja, but since she wasn't going with me anymore I reserved it for when I return.

After the event, my wife called to know if I was on my way but I lied to her that I missed my flight because I wanted to surprise her.

I got home and heard a very loud music coming from our apartment. I opened the door with my key and I saw Lucy's phone on the couch with her handbag.

I heard my wife moaning loudly and when I opened our door, I was dumbstruck seeing my wife and Lucy naked with Lucy's mouth on my wife's veejay.

They were soo overwhelmed in it that they didn't even notice I was there until I went back to the parlour and put off the loud music.

My wife rushed out with the duvet shouting my son's them, she thought probably he was the one that put off the music.

Immediately she saw me, the shock alone on her face gave her up. It was as if she saw a ghost. I was blank, the only thing I told her was that I don't want to see her shadow in that house when I returned.

I didn't know I could stammer until that moment, I would open my mouth to talk and will close it. I took my keys and left to a hotel.

It's been two weeks now and I'm still here at the hotel. I've not said a word to anyone about what happened. My wife has been calling and texting, I've not replied or picked her call.

It's still like a dream, a lot of questions are on my head. The sight of two of them naked is stuck in my eyes and mind. How long has these been going on? Is it just Lucy or has my lovely wife turned to a pr.os.tit.ute?

What led her to such? Is it because I wasn't there to satisfy her? How about me that kept myself for her? What if my children has been seeing them all these while?

I don't think I can look her in the face again or even touch her. I feel really disgusted. I never imagined our happy home shattering in this manner".

THE RICH MAN'S WIFE 👰
Episodes 9

(Second To Last Episode)

God is a prayer answering God. Not too long Femi regained consciousness and he marveled at the sight of his sweet wife sitting beside his bed, he started tearing up and he held her hands.
Susan who placed her head on the hospital bed where her husband laid, was stuttled when Femi held her hand, immediately she raised her head and saw Femi sitting on the bed, with his eyes fixed on her, out of excitement of seeing her husband awake, hot tears fell from her eyes, she couldn't control the tears.

Susan held her husband's hands too.
"My love is that you?..... Or I'm I dreaming?...... I'm I dead? ....Are you real?" Femi stammered
Susan stared at him speechlessly. Femi ran his eyes on her
" I'm so sorry.....my love I'm sorry...., I was charmed, by Cassandra that lady you caught me with, yes I know I caused it.......I gave devil a chance into our lives, I'm sorry" Femi added.
And Susan stopped him from talking any further.

"I have forgiven you, I love you" Susan entered and then she asked him to rest while she fetch the doctor, when the doctor arrived, he stared at Femi speechlessly, he was shocked and wondered what happened.
"This is a miracle" The doctor admitted
"Yes, it is, you told me that only God can save my husband, then I turned God, just three hours after I prayed, my husband woke up" Susan said calmly.
And the doctor picked his jaw
"Wow, I have never seen such quick miracle, God is great, madam every man needs a prayerful wife like you" The Doctor said and then he turned to Femi, "You are a lucky man, you defeated death" and Femi smiled faintly.

Two weeks later, Femi was discharged from the hospital and Femi felt bad that his wife and children had not returned to his father's house before he was discharged.
"I thought Susan had forgiven me, why is she not here" Femi asked his Father.
"Your wife and children are at home" Femi's father responded
"Home?, Where is home? I lost our house, by now the bank would have sold it, because immediately I was evicted, they placed the house on sale, that house would have a new owner by now, Dad you should have told Susan....." Femi said

"Susan knows already, infact she is the new owner, she bought the property, so the house is not lost, I'm taking you home, Susan had proved to be a good wife, she is a strong woman, you are blessed to have such a wonderful person as your wife, please don't ever take her love for granted" Femi's father said and tears of joy began to fall from his eyes.
When Femi got home, his children ran into his arms, he hugged them so tight and Susan watched the scene in tears. Later on, Femi walked closer to her and said "Thank you" and Susan hugged him and planted a kiss on his lips.
"You are a virtuous woman, you are a blessing to me, I love you" Femi added.

Why do people wait until they are at the verge of totally losing someone before they begin to realize how much value that person has added to their lives? It took all this to happen for Femi to realize that Susan was special.

There were no doubts that Femi had finally realized his mistakes and he began to make things right with his wife and children, but the sad thing was that he was not as rich as he used to be, five years ago he worth over 30 millions but after everything he barely worth 10 million, Susan was more wealthier than him.

To make Femi feel like a man, Susan decided to go to an extreme length of requesting that Femi should take over her business and run it like he did before.kindy hi omeano on+233544142683 to be added to storybaze, storyline, unlimited story platform for more stories. To Susan's utmost surprise, Femi politely declined. For a second, Susan was disappointed and devastated because she felt like Femi was not comfortable with her wealth. Out of curiosity, she asked; “Why don’t you want take over my business?”.

Femi took a deep breath and said; “You are my wife and the only woman I have loved and I will always love you, You have been the one doing everything since we got married and i have no memories of ever putting in effort to keep this family together. I love you and i have learnt my lessons, I want to be the one to take care of you, yes are strong and you are good with business, but I'm not, I ran into bankruptcy because you were not there to guide me, I want us to be a family again and I want us to start afresh, I won't take your business, we will run it together because I want us to be a team. Let's work together, I also want to learn how to run a business effectively from you, you are a guru when it comes to business, please let's run things together". Susan smiled and hugged her husband

Susan and Femi began to work together and with Susan's help, Femi's collapsed business ressurected and he was so glad, they both merged their businesses together and it became one of the leading company in the country.
Susan and Femi definitely didn’t see that coming but they were excited with thier accomplishments and the most interesting part was that they did it together. Just as thier business grew bigger, thier marriage also became better.

Susan and Femi were like best friends, thier employees secretly nicknamed them "Twins", as they were always found together.
The whole thing brought so much joy to Femi and Susan, they were happy and fulfilled, they had regained everything they lost and thier love grew stronger.

🙁GOD FEARING BROTHER👨

Episode 11 (semi final)…

I woke up on the hospital bed again, and this time around the principal and few teachers were with Me.
"How are you feeling? Susan asked touching me but I couldn't utter a word. I was still feeling very weak and I felt very helpless on that bed.
"Hmmm Amanda take it easy on yourself o, let it not be God rescued you from death and you want to kill yourself with your own hands, take it easy o, one of the teachers said.

"What are you saying? Do you know what she's going through right now? You think its easy for her? The principal asked but I was just looking at them. I couldn't even voice out, all I did was look and breathed as they kept talking.

They summarized by saying I should be strong and they left and I closed my eyes.
"Amanda, Joshua gently called and I opened my eyes.
"Where is safe? I asked him.

"No place is safe Amanda and I understand this is your first experience, I clearly understand what you're going through trust me, he replied.
"You understand? How? I asked and he smiled.

"I laughed when Susan told me you didn't want me because I'm not from a Pentecostal church and all that. But the truth is, i was born and dedicated there. I grew to see my parents a strong and active member in church and I was in the children church choir.

My late father was a deacon and the church financial Secretary. Then this quarrel happened with him and a fellow deacon in the church which was the treasurer. The treasurer do steal from the church box and wanted my dad to cover up for him as the financial Secretary but my dad refused. Then he fell ill and died after a month, but it was a shocking news when it was confessed the deacon killed him so he won't be put in trouble.

Hearing that I broke down. I hated the church and didn't want to have anything to do with it. I couldn't understand how even in the church I thought was safe, my father was killed by a fellow Christian. Where was God? Why did God keep silent until he was put in the grave? I saw no need going to church and I was that way for months until something happened again.

There was this quiet girl in my school, rumors broke out that she's pregnant and student didn't waste time to lash at her.

But I noticed she was going into depression and I didn't want to believe she was that type of person. I went close to her and slowly she opened up the real story to me, something she couldn't tell her parents out of fear.

She said her father was poisoned and they were directed to a prophet who deals with such case. According to her the prophet do put them in prayers and also gives them herbs to apply on his leg until one fateful day she went to the church to get herbs for her father.

There were so many people in church who wanted to see the prophet but the prophet sent for her in his office. She went there and the man pleaded with her to please help him cook because he's tired and hungry.

She accepted and he directed her to his house and gave her money and his house key.
She got there and prepared rice and beans for him, and just when she wanted going he walked in.

She innocently told him she just finished cooking and was about going back to the church but she noticed his eyes was on her body. She had removed the shirt she wore and had only a sleeveless on because she was at home alone.

Hmmmm before she knew it he was already touching her and that was how he forced himself on her and filled her head with so many threats for a 16years old girl.

She's so scared to tell her parents what happened because they respect the man so much after he healed her father. They pay their tithes to him and see him as a god. Where will she start from that the prophet they hold so much respect for forced her in his house? Who will believe it was a rape?

Hearing that I was so mad the more as it added to my bitterness against the church. I was the one who exposed the case to her parents and it was not an easy battle.

And it was so disappointing her parents found it hard to believe it was the prophet that was responsible, and my mom on this other hand was so angry I got myself involved in their problems and sent me immediately to my uncle to school and that was how I lost contact with the girl and the whole stuff. So you see Amanda, this things are not new. If anyone says the church is where you are saved is only deceiving you, no one is saved in the church but in the lord. So when you put all your trust on your pastors so much or in your church, you are bound to fail.

My business right now in church is to enter there and worship him and off I go. I don't look at the name or the pastor as long as there is this conviction that I am in the house of God I'm very okay there to worship my father and I'll go my way.
So many pretenders and killers hiding and disguising themselves in the church committing havoc.
Amanda there is no place safe and trust no one, Joshua said while I was just looking at him.

"Help me tell her o, when she sees me not all that serious with church like committing myself in departments and all that she sees me not serious with God. My service is to God and not man, I have no business with man else what I'll be doing is nothing but eye service to impress man.

Ever since a pastor did something to my senior aunt everyone at home became alert.
My aunt served the government and retired and she was owed her gratuity for so many months.

Finally she was paid and the first thing she did was go tell her pastor that she has been paid and asked him what she should do with the money.
Can you imagine that? She didn't tell her husband o but her pastor first.

The so called pastor told her to keep the money in the bank and think of a very good business to invest in and she shouldn't tell any body about this because people are wicked bla bla........ "Not even her husband or children? Joshua cut in.

"No body Joshua not even the cockroach in the house. Before my aunt knew it, she said the pastor called her and pleaded she should please loan the money to him to put in the church building. Whenever she needs the money he's going to return it because the money he is expecting has not arrived yet.
My aunt didn't think twice, she withdrew 3.5 million and gave it to him and he blessed her.

5 months later she settled on the business she wanted doing and told the pastor and he said okay. She waited for like 2 weeks but he didn't say anything to her and she reminded him again but he asked her which money?

"Eh! I shouted on bed.
"Shout na. I say pastor ask am which money? My aunt thought it was a joke o but he was damn serious. The pastor said the money was never a loan and where is the proof that she loaned him money? He said she donated the money to the church and he never asked for it. That was when her husband came to know about it o and the family members, but the pastor said we are touching the anointed of God and doing his prophet harm, Susan said and I didn't know if I should laugh or cry with such a story.

"Just look at the mess, why didn't she trust her husband she married for years? But she heaped her whole trust on a stranger simply because he's a pastor, Joshua said.
"Her husband separated from her o, he said he's not sure she's the woman he married for good 25 years. It wasn't an easy something, we didn't know if we should settle her with the husband or fight for 3 million, everything was just a mess because we had no single proof or agreement such a transaction happened between my aunt and the pastor. She fell sick o and If not God and the fact her husband had to forgive her, I don't think she would have survived it. Then why did the bible said that judgement will start from the house of God?

"It must surely begin from there. I'm not disputing the fact that real men of God are there, but we all need the discernment of God and his direction so we Wont end up in the lion hand that will crush us, Joshua said.
"Thats true, Susan said and looked at Me and I was just speechless. The weakness I felt just vanished with the stories they shared,

"Amanda just rest okay, you'll be fine. I'm just happy you don follow see wetin dey happen for this world and you conquered, that's more important, Susan said touching me smiling but I was very lost.
If those who knows and confess the truth is still dark in the heart, what will be the fate of those coming up in the faith? No wonder it was written,
"If the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do??........

🙁GOD FEARING BROTHER👨

Episode 10….

The cops left immediately and I looked at my friends and bowed my head. I suddenly felt so ashamed of myself that I could not say anything,
"You didn't treat yourself when you fell sick last time, but the doctor said you'll be fine, Joshua said and I nodded.
"But I want to leave this place, I said.

"Why? Susan asked.
"I just want to go, there's something I need to do, I replied.

"I told you didn't I? She won't accept to stay here, Susan said to Joshua and sat down where she was before.
"Okay fine, but you have to take your medication, Joshua said.

"Sure, can I speak with my mom? I asked Susan.
"Okay, she has been calling though but I had to give an excuse..... Of course a lie, Susan said dialling my mom number for me..........

The cops informed us in the evening that the captives has been rescued and hospitalized and also, the pastor traveled for a programme and he's not back yet.
"Really? Who told you this? Joshua asked them.

"A member, You still think he's the one? One of the men asked Joshua.
"Where's John phone? Joshua asked and I pointed to the socket where it was charged and Joshua got it and switched it on.

I unlocked the phone and gave it to him and Joshua went through his call logs.
"There is Boss, Joshua told us showing us the phone and a cop quickly dialled the number on his phone. It rang twice and he finally picked up,

"Yes! That strong voice came on phone.
"Hey long time, the cop said.

"Who's this? The boss asked.
"You don't remember me again? Or have you stopped doing the business? John introduced me to you remember? The cop asked settling on a very matured tone that meant business.

"Okay okay, the boss said not sounding good.
"Why what's wrong? How's business? Because I need 2 chips for an important stuff, where can I get it? The cop asked.

"Business is having some shake Now and the police is on my trail, I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver, the boss replied.
"What! Are you serious right now? Please you really have to help me because its urgent, name your price and I'll pay I mean it, the cop said as everyone remained quiet and the boss heaved.

"You think its easy here for me? My place was revealed and the stock I had are all gone! I was betrayed by that useless John do you understand! The boss violently shouted.
"John did that? Listen where are you now let's talk things out. We can arrange for another place in a different location, don't worry I gat you covered, the cop said.

"Boss not now please, let's forget such a business and see how we can safe ourselves, one of the guys said at the background.
"We just want to talk and we need all the help we can now else we'll be in deep mud than we are, the boss said to them.

"What? We are not meeting? The cop asked.
"You better be sure about that, the boss replied.

"Okay its fine let's not meet again. I only want to help you out of your mess and suddenly you can't trust your own client, then its fine. Have a good day, the cop said.
"Calm down okay, you're talking about trusting a client when my own personal boy disappointed me, don't you understand? The boss asked.

"Its fine then, its just a shame I never expected such disappointment for a big deal, the cop said and he breathed out.
"Okay let's meet and talk, the boss said and dropped the address which another cop quickly wrote it down.

"Great, time? The cop asked.
"Now please, the boss replied.

"Okay I'll be there with my boy, keep a table for 2, the cop said and dropped the call and I breathed out.
"You gat this right? Joshua asked them.

"Sure, wish us luck, the cops replied and left immediately to arrange their team.
"We're leaving now right? I asked Joshua.

"Yes so you'll have a proper rest, Joshua replied and I slowly came down from the bed...........

I got home with my friends and it was so good to see the house again. At a point I thought I've lost it as I stood admiring it.
"Are you hungry? Susan asked and I shook my head and sat down.

"I'm okay, I replied and touched my forehead,
"Worried? Joshua asked and I shook my head.

"Any word from the police yet? I asked him.
"Not yet, but let's give them all the time to concentrate, Joshua replied and I nodded.

"I'll be spending the night here, Susan said.
"No you don't have to bother, I said to her.

"Today that I want to sleep Here you're speaking English, I said I'm spending the night here period, Susan said and I smiled.
"Then keep your house rent o, I playfully said.

"You wish, Susan said.
"I've told you my own, I said and Joshua checked the time.

"Alright ladies I have to hurry down to the station you know to catch a glimpse of something about this case. Don't worry I'll put you on call, see you tomorrow, Joshua said.
"Thank you so much, good night, we said to him and he left while Susan locked the door and looked at me.

"You're hurt. You must really love John, she said and I forced a smile and heaved. I didn't want to reply that but the eyes Susan used on me was like she was reading the inside of me and I breathed out with my eyes teary.
"I'm hurt that I loved a beast, he was no human and I thought so highly of him and that's where it hurts most, I said and cleaned my tears and Susan sat beside me.

"You are the bible girl here, at least you read more of it than I've done and I thought you should know better. There are so many wolves in sheep's clothing, so many devil dressed as angels of light roaming in the church. Because one goes to church does not make that person a child of God. Because one speaks in tongues and performs greatly in church does not make that person a God fearing fellow. Because one knows the bible so much and quotes it out perfectly does not make that person God anointed.

Even the devil quoted the bible to the son of God. Imagine the devil quoting the word for the WORD himself and you think that the church is a safe place where the devil can't manipulate to be? Even Jesus said, many will do wonders in my name calling him Lord Lord but at the end he will say depart from me he doers of iniquity, you should have known this better.
Forgive yourself Amanda and learn from what God rescued you from, you're one lucky girl you know and I think it was for a reason, Susan said and I was dripping with tears and hot sweats from my body.

I just laid on the bed crying to myself while Susan let me be.

The house was just filled with my sobs for more than 30 minutes while Susan concentrated on her laptop and a call came on her phone.
"Hello Joshua wassup? She picked up.

"What! Susan shouted and I sat up immediately looking at her which she turned and looked at me.
"Are you serious? Gosh! Amanda come hear this, Susan said stretching the phone for me and I quickly got it.

"Hello, I picked up.
"Sorry it was successful, Joshua said.

"Okay that's good news but what's the sorry for? I asked.
"Its your pastor, he's the boss, Joshua dropped and my throat went dry as I staggered backwards.

"The...th... You mean the pastor? I stammered.
"We'll talk tomorrow okay, Joshua replied and dropped the call and I freely dropped myself in bed with my eyes bulged out.

Suddenly I heard the screams of the people in my head, the machete that landed on the table taking off someone's head was just before me, the human parts i stepped on in the bush........ all of this was carried out by a man who stood behind the altar releasing blessings on us last Sunday.

My heart was beating fast like I was going to explode and my head ached as I couldn't stop the screams in my head. I held my head and fell from the bed screaming alongside with them and Susan held me,
"Amanda! Amanda stop! I heard her shouting but I couldn't help it. The sights of last night was just before me, and once again it was like I was in the bush...........

🙁GOD FEARING BROTHER👨

Episode 9…

The door was locked with a very big padlock and Susan picked up,
"Hello! Her voice came on phone.
"He....hello Susan its me! I said.

"Amanda! Where in God name are you? Your number is....... "No time for this please I need your help. I'm in the middle of no where and I don't know what to do. See you need to get me out of here, do you understand? I asked cutting in..

"Wait wait wait let me call Joshua up immediately and give him this number so you can talk to him okay. He already reported you missing to the police, Susan replied.
"Please hurry up I Beg you, I said dropping the call and looked for a stone to hit on the padlock.

It was like the more I hit the door was the more I was getting weaker and the phone began to ring.
I saw the number and recognized it to be Joshua own and picked up,
"Amanda where are you? He asked.
"I don't know, I weakly replied.

"You don't know how? Just give me a clue of where you are so i can get you out of there, he said.
"I seriously don't know, here they kill and sell humans and I'm surrounded by bushes, that's all I know, i replied.

"What! Jesus Christ! You know what...... I heard footsteps coming with a light from a torch.
"Joshua someone's coming, please pray for me i beg you, I hurriedly said and fled going to the back of where we were held prisoners and that was how I unconsciously went into the bush breathing hard.

The stench that came out from there as I walked bare footed and bodied in the middle of the night got me shivering as i recited Psalms 23 crying bitterly.
Then i saw a shirt in the bush, although it was dirty but God knows i was catching cold and i needed it badly.

Despite it was a wear of a dead person, Amanda was already close to being dead and i had to put it on. Using John phone, it aided me with light as i struggled in the bush ignoring Joshua calls when i didn't know what to tell him.

That was how i walked for minutes, hitting one point to another and there I was..... On a tarred road just me and my God.
I gasped and fell on my knees breathing hard and shivering and Joshua called again,
"I am begging you Amanda, is there anything you can see that will help us with a clue? He asked.

"I just arrived at a Main road now and its so dry, i replied crying.
"Oh thank God and calm down okay and look around. Just find a banner or anything that can direct us, I'm already driving to no destination, Joshua said and i sniffed.

"Okay, okay, i said ending the call and walked on the road looking back from time to time just to make sure I'm not followed, then i saw a building, very beautiful and i wondered what its doing in such an area.
I called up Joshua immediately describing the building to the best I can.
"No number on the house or something? He asked.

"I'm not close to it but I'll check, i replied and slowly went close to the building and saw the address with the number just at the side of the gate and told Joshua.
"Great, I'll be there, just hold on okay, he said and i nodded and dropped the call.
The time was exactly 2a.m and i rubbed my face looking at the building again, then went into the bush to hide just opposite the building until Joshua arrives.

I squatted there for close to an hour shivering very seriously sick with cold. Joshua hearing my voice whenever he calls became more scared and kept asking me to hold on, but John battery couldn't hold on, it went low leaving me to the mercy of the insects there and darkness.

My sickness grew worst and i lost hope if I'll ever get out of there, and i slowly cuddled myself up in the bush.
A car drove by but I couldn't raise myself probably that was Joshua because before the phone went off he told me he's almost there.
The car stopped and reversed coming back to the building and I recognized Joshua voice,
"She should be here this is the building, I heard him said.

"Probably she's hiding somewhere, a strange voice said and i coughed.
"Amanda! Joshua shouted and i moved my legs which shook the leaves and they ran to me.

"Jesus! Amanda! I heard Joshua screamed carrying me from where i was and i passed out happy a savior finally came.

I woke up in a hospital and saw Susan leaning her head on the wall with her eyes closed and i saw the clock there, it was 10a.m in the morning.
"Am i really out of that place? I asked myself as i remembered everything and how an animal was more better than us, then i began to cry which woke Susan up.

"Shhhhhh its okay, Susan said hugging me. My heart was heavy and there was a lot i wanted to say, but i was just too grateful to say it out when tears took hold of my voice.
"You're safe now okay, everything is okay, Susan said still hugging me.

"It was brother John, I said to her.
"He did what? She asked looking at me and i shook my head crying.

"I was such a fool, why did God hide it from me? I thought..... I thought he was real and the ideal one, i replied.
"Calm down Amanda, Susan said holding me and the cops and Joshua walked in. Joshua immediately hugged me tight as i cried on him,

"Thank you so much, i said to him.
"Don't mention, you said something yesterday. Where were you? He asked and i sniffed.

"In hell where i thought there was no God, i replied.
"How did you get there? Were you kidnapped? A cop asked and i briefed them of what John did and all that happened there.

"Where can we find him? Another cop asked.
"He's dead, please Sir there are humans there. Buyers come and point who ever they want to be killed as if we were chickens, please you need to help them, i replied.

"Sure, we sent men already to the area you were found but can you remember where you came out from? There are so many bushes, The cop asked.
"God showed me a different route out, and i walked for about 15 minutes before i saw the building, i really don't know where, i replied.

"Okay, now that John is dead and the men has escaped, how can we get the people doing such inhumane act? Do you know any? A cop asked.
"I knew only John but i heard something, the boss is a pastor, i replied.

"A pastor? A cop asked so surprised.
"John was a very dedicated brother yet he was so evil, which sound man of God will be blind to who John really is if that pastor is not the same as John, am i making sense? Joshua asked and i looked at him.

"He had a mask on, i said trying to understand him.
"Joshua you made a very important point here. Amanda, what's the name of the church? A cop asked and i quickly called it out.........

THE RICH MAN'S WIFE
Episode 8

Susan won't stop lamenting to her father, how Femi couldn't manage his business well and how he lost almost every thing they laboured for.
Her father listened speechlessly, the old man could sense that his daughter still cared for Femi, even though she acts like she doesn't want to have anything to do with him.

"Susan my child why do you care so much that Femi lost almost everything? Why did you get some of the properties back? I thought you don't care?" Susan's Father threw in
And Susan went mute for a while and then she responded "Dad, Femi is still the Father of my children and I know how we toiled to achieve all these properties, why would he be so irresponsible"
"My child is that really the reason?, because I can see love in your eyes, you still love him, why not work things out with him, your children needs thier father, for the past five years you have separated Augusta and Max from thier father" Susan's Father added

"Dad, there's no way I'm going to work things out with that heartless man, he deserves everything that is happening to him, I'm just concerned because I once saw all those properties as ours but not anymore, Dad Femi cheated on me, I caught him smooching another woman in his office, he abadoned me and his children, for good six months he was no where to be found, for good two years he neglected me and the worst he forbade me from taking up a job and that lead to the death of my beloved mother, no father there's no way I would work things out with him"Susan concluded.
Susan still held to her pain and her mind was still unmoved, her Father tried everything to change her mind but it was futile.

Then one day, Susan was out on a business errand to procure an important licence for her business, When she got to the firm, there was a long queue and she was fortunate enough to get the last seat

After about 20 minutes, Susan was still sitting when someone tapped her shoulders, she turned around and was surprised to see a middle aged man standing behind her, One close look, She recognized who he was.
"Pastor, Good afternoon sir" Susan greeted. She was so excited to meet her Pastor again after five years.

The Pastor Was the one who had conducted deliverance for Femi, five years ago and ever since he had not set his eyes on him.
"Sister Susan, How is your husband?, Have you both settled your differences?" And Susan went mute. And the Pastor continued "Sister Susan, I must commend you for your patience and understanding. Every man needs a wife like you, and to top it all, you are prayerful, it was your prayer that broke the spell that the strange woman placed on your husband, when your husband came for deliverance, I told him what God had revealed to me, if not that you were strong in prayers, things would had been worst, Thank God that you are prayerful and we also serve a good God that answers prayers, your husband would have become insane or worst dead, please don't stop praying, a prayerful wife is powerful"

The Pastor Unknowingly revealed everything to Susan while she listened in shock
"Femi was under a spell? When? How?" She asked and the Pastor told her everything. Susan felt bad and wished she gave Femi a chance to explain.

The next day, She visited her father in law alongside with her father and Children. When they arrived, Susan got a disheartening news.
"Femi was involved in a fatal accident, three days ago and he has been in Coma, the doctor said the chance for his survival is slim" Femi's father revealed and Susan collapsed and was rushed to the hospital.

It turned out that Susan was rushed to the same hospital that Femi was admitted.
And when Susan regained consciousness, she was taken to the intensive care unit, where Femi laid unconsciously.
Immediately Susan saw Femi, she started crying and went to hug him. Femi was unconscious as he laid lifelessly on the hospital bed.

Susan held his hands and kissed his lips,
"Please forgive me Femi, I didn't give you a chance to explain, I'm sorry, please wake up, my love please wake up, I need you and your children needs you, for the past five years they kept asking me where you were, I'm sorry, that I took them away, please wake up" Susan said in tears.

It was as if Femi heard all his wife had said, he tried to wake up, he moved his hands and Susan called out for the doctor, who walked in immediately and send Susan out, so he could examine Femi.
Susan left in tears. Few minutes later, Susan was at the waiting room, when the Doctor sent for her. When Susan arrived the doctor's office, she received the worst news ever

"Madam, there's no need to raise your hopes up, your husband may not wake up, his vital organs are already dead, the only organ that is functioning is his heart, I'm just telling you, so you won't raise your hopes" The doctor announced
" But Doctor, he moved his hands" Susan said in tears
"It's just a reflex, it's normal" the doctor added
"No doctor, please I don't want to be a widow, I don't want my husband to die, I love him so much, please save him" Susan said still in tears

" Madam please calm down, it's only God that can save him" The Doctor responded and dismissed Susan. As She walked back into the intensive care unit, she kept replaying in her mind, the last statement the doctor had made, "it's only God that can save him".
Susan burst into prayers.
"Lord, my husband shall not die but live, Lord I don't want to be a widow, I don't want my children to be fatherless, even the doctor as concluded that only you can save my husband, please Lord, have mercy and save him, together we will serve you, please don't allow my husband to die, please Lord, save my husband" She prayed, hot tears were just falling from her eyes.

THE RICH MAN'S WIFE
Episode 7

Writing by christabel Ogbogu Nwoko

Susan had not gotten used to the village, everyday Susan felt like a bird bedraggled in the rain. As she always cried in her dejectedness, her children always held her and gently rubbed thier hands on her cheek to wipe off her tears. Susan knew that she was blessed having a caring and loving children. The first three months was like hell for Susan as she couldn't wrap her head around the fact that Femi her husband had a lover who he abadoned his family for.

"I can't believe Femi had been having a nice time with his lover, while I worry constantly over him, I hawked beans cake, toiled daily to get some money while my husband was spending money lavishedly on that busty husband snatcher, look at how she was glowing and I was like a maid, I couldn't even confront her because I felt inferior, never for once have I thought that Femi would do this to me, when life was difficult, I stood by him, I never had to put a word of scorn against him, I gave him love and care but see how he repaid me" Susan thought in tears.

Months later, when Susan had stopped feeling sorry for herself, she was determined to move on and to live her life in a manner she had never done before.
“I think it’s time to use my school certificate and face reality, no one is going to stop me this time , I have two children to take care of and an aged father who depends solely on me" She told herself one morning.
She meant every word she told herself, she was tired of living life
Miserably, "I cannot do business right now because I lack capital but I have my certificate, I know getting a good job, won't be easy but I will try" Susan thought

Not too long, Susan got a job as a class teacher in a public school in the village.
That was how Susan began to teach for a living. At first, Susan doesn't like the teaching job, she was not really proud of what she was doing but when she finally gave it her heart, parents began to commend her for her good teaching skills as most kids who were dull began to show some improvement. As Susan was battling to settle down in the village, Femi had visited the village countlessly with his father, with the hope of getting to meet Susan and thier children and work things out But Susan kept hiding and she instructed her father to never disclose their whereabout. Femi always left heartbroken, It was obvious Susan doesn't want to return home.

In no time, Susan's Salary was increased, she got a shop for herself to start a little business as her side hustle and gradually things began to improve for her.
In the fifth year, Sarah's business had picked up and she had made so much progress, she had long resigned from the teaching job, she had even moved her business, alongside with her children and Father to the City, she invested in other businesses especially Real estate business. Susan had flourished that she had more than nine staff working for her. She had three strong businesses bringing money on a daily basis. Her two children attend good schools and her father was well taken care of. Sometimes she wondered if any paid job would have done these things for her in five years.

Susan was glad that lack has disappeared forever in her life. She was grateful to God for the great turn around. But on the other hand, Femi's life had turned upside down, Susan was not longer in his life to give him good advice or ideas, he made some wrong business decisions and he landed himself in debts. Indeed, behind a successful man, there's always a woman, Femi began to borrow money from banks and most of his landed properties like their house was used as a collateral.
When Femi was unable to pay up the loans, The bank evicted him from those properties. He shamefully returned to his father's house, he was devastated and wallowed in deep regret.

One-day, Susan who had become so successful in her Real estates business, saw her husband's properties being listed online for sale. She was so devastated because he knew how many years it took them to acquire those properties. She was so angry.
"So Femi, couldn't manage his business, how could he lost everything?" She thought in rage. You can hi omeano on+233544142683 to be added to his telegram group for more exciting stories.
She managed to purchase some of their old properties, she bought those properties with her children's name.

Susan began to worry constantly over Femi, she wondered how he was faring but her pain stopped her from reaching out to him.
Ever since Femi returned to his father's house, he became depressed and he had considered Suicide twice.
"What I'm i living for? My Children and Wife had left me, my business had collapsed, all my properties had been lost. Where will I start from? Susan had really been my back bone, she had been supporting me all the way, oh what will i do? I can't continue living life like this" Femi had thought.

Each day, Femi kept reminiscing on the past. With tears falling from his eyes, his life was miserable and he knew if Susan was there, he would have felt alot better.
He was tired of searching for her because it was obvious that she doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

"Sure i knew things had not been great between me and my Susan ever since my parents got divorced but I never thought she would leave me like this, why didnt she notice that something was wrong with me? I left her and our kids for 6 months and she did nothing about it" Femi thought! He had a thousand questions, but they all boiled down to "why?" Why would she leave me, I thought marriage was for better or worst? Why didn’t she give me a chance to explain myself? Why won’t she even talk to me? Why is she so angry with me even without hearing the whole story?

Femi had also blamed himself for the failure of his marriage, he knew he contributed to the erosion in thier marriage.
Since Susan left his life, he had realized how important she was to him. Femi began to imagine how Susan felt, when he neglected her and took out the frustration of his parent's failed marriage on her.

Cassandra noticed that Femi always wants to return home to his wife and children and she hated it whenever Femi returned home to his family, Cassandra decided to stop him from going home, She ordered Femi never to return to his family and he obeyed, for the past six months Femi lived with Cassandra the strange woman, Susan who was unaware of what was happening, thought Femi didn't come home because he was angry with her. All those times, that Femi didn't come home, he stayed over with Cassandra in her two bedroom apartment and everyday, he gave her huge amount of money. Things would had remained that way if Susan did not start praying again, She began to pray again and the spell Cassandra placed on her husband got broken.

The following day, Femi Went to his father and he told him everything, The old man was shocked, he had heard of such spells but he never believed it will be used on his only son, Femi asked his father to accompany him to their church as he needed a complete deliverance, They arrived their family church and the pastor prayed for Femi and told him that his wife's unconditional love and prayers was what delivered him,
"you would have run mad, that's why we men, should be careful, all these pretty girls are diabolic and desperate" The pastor told him and he shivered in fear. Femi was transfered to a prayer mountain where he fasted for days and prayed for himself.
Not many men will receive mercy as Femi had received from God.

Femi's father had to reveal to Femi what really transpired that made his mother elope to Europe.
"Your mother is not your biologically mother, your mother and I met at the University and we were so much in love, your mother got pregnant twice for me when will were still in the University and I made her abort those pregnancies, so when we got married long after we graduated from the University, the doctor told us that her womb was damaged and she would not be able to fall pregnant again, your mother was devasted, months later I hooked up with one of my lover, got her pregnant and when the child was born, the child was you, I brought you home when you were just 5 years old and I lied to my wife that I had adopted you from the orphanage and that was how she became your mother, but when she found out the truth that you we're my biological son, she was devasted and she demanded for a divorce, which I declined at first but when I caught him talking to another man on the phone, I was forced to let her go, we got divorced and she got half of what I had and she left the country to Europe and I concluded that she might left with her lover, my son you see, it was all my fault" Femi's father said calmly.

"So my life has been a lie, so mom is not my biological mother? assuming I knew I wouldn't have interferred in that matter, Dad why are you just telling me now, why? I thought mom was wrong, I thought my mother was guilty, I never knew all these transpired between you and mom, I'm so foolish, I shouldn't have took out all my anger on my own wife, what does she got to do in the matter?, I wasn't thinking straight, I was frustrated and emotionally I was confused, if I had reasoned properly, I would have known that Susan will never misbehave, she is my back bone and a good woman, she could lay down her life for me, it's obvious I took her love for granted, Susan had sacrificed a whole lot for me, She stood by me when you, my own father rejected and abadoned me because we had a heated misunderstanding, I shouldn't have treated my wife so badly, she stopped praying for me and I fell into the net of a diabolic lady, what would have happened if Susan didn't show up at my office to wish me a happy birthday, I would have handed over all I and my wife laboured for to a strange woman, oh God thank you, how can I repay you Lord" Femi said in tears
"You mean all your wife told me was true? Why would you stop taking care of your wife, even if your mother did betray me, that doesn't mean every woman is bad, you shouldn't have been so unreasonable, I never knew that the constant marital problems you had with your wife was because of me, oh I'm sorry my son, please forgive me" Femi's father responded remorsefully

"Mom, will always be my mom, its doesn't matter if we are not related by blood, she is the only mother I know, I don't care about what happened between you both, I will look for ways to reconnect with my mom" Femi added

Femi started arranging his life, he reconnected with his mother on Facebook and the woman was so happy to hear from him again. Femi then began his search for his wife and kids. All Femi wanted was to bring his wife and children back home .
Every one who heard Femi's horrifying story, points out that it was just God's mercy that Saved him.
And they urged him to look for his prayerful wife and reconcile with her, even thier pastor said the same thing.

Susan who was unaware of what was happening, was still mad at her husband. She was heartbroken and was always in tears
"I will never forgive him" she had told herself uncountable times.
She had returned to the village with her two children, She had instructed her father never to disclose her whereabout with anyone not even Femi or his family members .
" I don't want to have anything to do with Femi or his family, I'm done and never going back to that marriage, when I put myself together, I will surely divorce Femi and move on with my children" She had told her Father.

She was in tears and her father consoled her and wiped her tears. " My daughter, Everything will be fine, never stop praying my child" Susan's Father added. Susan tried everything she could to forget Femi but to her displeasure, her heart still beats for him.

~GOD FEARING BROTHER👨~
Episode 8.

"Why did you shoot him? I heard one of the guys asked.
"Why did he have to betray us? Can't you see what he's trying to do? He purposely put up a conflict and released his girlfriend so she can escape and put us in trouble. Are you blind! The boss shouted and I could hear his breathing where I laid.

"John is dead? I asked myself and shivered the more.
If he is able to bring down John, he is ever ready to cut my head for putting such a confusion there.

"But he said he's not the one and John is right. Why will he make her escape and he's still here with us? The other guy argued.
"Are you stupid! The boss shouted hitting him on the chest.

"Stop it Boss is right. You may not know the arrangements he must have had with her, guy shine your eyes. If John never hint that girl before now, where is she? The other guy asked the one who wanted putting up an argument.
"We are going to search this bush and bring her here. I want to squeeze and boil her, the heat from my body will cook her, find her! The boss shouted and my legs were shaking.

There was an insect crawling on my bare body but i was not able to hit it, one crack from the bush will fetch me out and i wasn't even far from where they stood, so i had to endure and prayed snake shouldn't be next.
"What about John? One asked.

"Of course he's still valuable. Are they well tied? The boss asked.
"Yes! A heavy voice replied.

"Ohhh Bring me that girl na, bring me that girl. She's hiding somewhere and cant go far, move! The boss shouted and that was how i heard them entering the bush.
My mouth was shivering as another insect was crawling around my neck and the guys were in the bush.

It looked like a centipede and it crawled down to my hand as I laid still.
"God please! I cried inside as they took their time sweeping through the bushes, then they approached where i laid and 1 of them sneezed and coughed hard.
"What are you doing in that area? Is that not where the unwanted parts are thrown? I heard the other asked and i just felt like fainting.
Ahhhhh Amanda! Are you even lying on a corpse?

"Is true o, maybe that's why i got chocked, the one who sneezed said as they stopped, but little did they know they were standing just where i was.
"But where's this girl? You sure that girl never hit road and we dey here? One asked.

"Its not possible. it can't be possible except she already left before the rest tried to escape because if she tried escaping with them, we for catch am since na, another said.
"Sense, na sense you talk. She is the only one missing and we haven't seen her, that means she had already escaped then John no try na! One said hitting his legs on the palm front.

"Wait o, so you mean to say we are not save here? Then we have to leave this place whether boss likes it or not. I know him as a very stubborn man, i wonder how he take be pastor sef, one said and i didn't understand that pastor aspect of it.
"Boss won't agree, he will say we didn't search well but if someone is escaping at least sound go dey but everywhere is quiet. If that man no go move this night, I won't stay here till morning if he like make he shoot me, one said and the boss shouted on them and they left where they stood.

"She's gone boss and i think we should evacuate this place, one replied him.
"she's still here. I just made a call outside and no one has hit the main road, the boss replied.

"How is that person sure? Not that we were expecting such a thing to happen, the bush is quiet and no one can hide here, one said as they left the bush.
"She untied the rest and she ran with them, that girl is here!, the boss confidently said.

"Then i think she's dead. You fired shots carelessly she may be hit and will be lying somewhere but to be very sure, let's leave for the night, its very important, one calmly said and the boss groaned and angrily kicked things around.
"True boss, let's not take risk, another added.

"Lock the place up, take any trace of us including the money and prepare the car, the boss said and i breathed out.
That was good news to me.

In less than 20 minutes I saw headlights of a car driving out but i still laid there just to be
Sure no one was left behind to watch over their prisoners, then someone coughed.

I listened more attentively and noticed someone was in pains some where but i was still scared to leave. It was hard to believe they truly evacuated and feared for my life thinking its a plan to lure me out, not until an animal crossed by and i jumped from where i laid and saw the place dry. You can read more of these story from, unlimited story platform ,fresh stories kingdom, house of story room, sweet and nice story room through ish on+233544142683.
But will i run with a dirty pant and bra? I knew my clothes or any cloth at all will be around so i can put on and find my way out.

Slowly I left and that was when i saw human parts around me, but what i don't understand is how i was able to stay there without being disturbed from the stench of it.
The cough came again and i knew it must be someone wounded then i ran to check it out, but surprisingly it was John.

He was surprised himself to see me as i stopped when i saw it was him. He was bleeding just around his stomach area and his eyes were closing as i stood looking at him wondering what I should do.
"Amanda, take, he managed to say.

"What? I asked.
"Check my pocket, there's a phone, he replied and i rushed and took it but it was locked.

"Whats the Password? I asked.
"22....2..... "How many 2? I asked but his eyes were closing.
"John the password! I shouted slapping him hard on his cheek.

"Double 2, fifty and twenty seven, he replied and closed his eyes as i typed it down and the phone was unlocked.
"John? John! I shouted shaking him but he was gone.

I stood up from him and dialled Susan number as i ran to the door to let go of the others............

🙁 ~GOD FEARING BROTHER~ ✌🏼💚💜❤️💙

Episode 7.

I refused opening my eyes and closed it more tight, then I heard footsteps coming to me.
"No Lord, no please, I cried inside shivering but I noticed it wasn't me.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw the lady that was just beside me dragged out as she cried very seriously but that was not a relief for me.

There was a little raised platform like a court they built for their slaughtering activities and I wondered what they are going to do with them.
A table was brought out and the blood stained on it explained everything to me without being told.

One of the ladies picked out fainted out of shock.... Of course who won't be when I was already dead myself.
They pushed one of the guys forward forcing his head on the table, and with my heart beating fast wishing the trumpet will just blow and everything will be over..... THUM! his head was cut off with a well sharpened machete.

I threw up immediately and laid on the ground there chocking as if I was going to die. I couldn't take it anymore and the more machete that landed on the table indicating another life gone, the more I threw up without seeing the sight.

We were pushed back to the room for the next buyer to arrive. 5 more people was added to us and 6 lives were again gone before the end of the that day.
I was damn weak but refused to eat the trash they offered us like dogs, then John came to me.

"You don't want to eat? You'll still die anyway, you may not be lucky tomorrow and i wonder why you're not chosen yet, probably because you're ugly, he said but i only looked at him saying nothing.
"Try to eat okay so your body will look good for a rich buyer or else we will still kill you and sell the important parts we want for special buyers only, he continued talking to himself but i still said nothing and he smiled nodding his head.

"Good, bye and see you in the morning, he said and touched my cheeks and left and i closed my eyes and leaned my head on the wall.

I felt like crying, but not for myself but for my mother. I saw myself as a big disappointment if my disappearance will break my mom down for all the struggles she went through just to see I complete my education after my father kicked the bucket when i was about writing my SSCE.

My heart was burning and i missed her so much with my siblings. I missed Susan and wished I could see Joshua to apologize to him, l just wanted another chance to make things right but i was scared it will never come.

I didn't know what else to do that night than to sing despite my mouth was still closed, I was just humming it from the deepest of my heart. I had no right to be angry with God, and If this will be the last thing i will do before leaving this earth, i was ready to do it.

I cant tell how long i hummed with my eyes closed as i laid on the stinking floor and i felt pains on the shoulder i laid, then i decided to turn to the other side but heard a very serious argument going on outside.

I decided to sit up to listen attentively but noticed my hands were freed, like very very free.
It wasn't tied anymore and i quickly got the cloth out of my mouth and spat out and loosed my legs and the argument became more fierce outside.

"I've loosed myself, i announced to them and they began to mumble though i couldn't see their faces because of the dark room.
"Its okay we are leaving here today. I'm going to loose you all and we will break out here, if it means for us to fight we will fight for we have to do something else we will be slaughtered like goats when the morning comes. So just stay calm while i try loose everyone okay so we can break out together, I said and used my hands carefully on the air to feel them.
If i succeed to loose anyone hands, they were able to take care of their mouth and legs like i did to make it faster and easier for me.

As this was going on, the guys were still in the heat of their argument throwing threats on each other and i saw that as a very good chance for us to strike. For sure some may die but at least we will be able to escape and if possible hurt them also to defend ourselves.

I think i was on the 16th person trying to lose his Hand when the last person i loosed freed herself and ran to the door, surprisingly it wasn't locked that's why our hands were tied and everyone who i untied followed suit without wasting time forgetting our agreement.

That was where my good Samaritan ended as i also threw myself out to help myself.
"They are escaping! The guys shouted but I was heading to the bush without looking back.
I heard a cock of a gun and a shot was fired on the air,
"The next will be on your head if you don't stop! The man on mask shouted but the marathon race continued.

I heard screams and knew some were caught and 2 shots were fired which i knew will bring someone down.
The bush was so dark and i knew it will be easier for them to get us as they knew the place better. I noticed some fallen palm fronts as i matched on it with my bare foot, and i immediately threw myself on the ground covering myself on the palm fronts as i hid in the Bush.

One by one everyone was caught as they kept running with no direction and some of course will be killed.
"Someone is still missing and how were they loosed! I heard the boss screamed out as if he was going to die and i was praying hard i shouldn't make a sound to give them a sign.
"Tell me! He shouted.

"Who loosed you? Who! I heard one of the guys probably asking the prisoners but i couldn't hear the response.
"Oh John so you loosed your girlfriend huh? The boss asked.

"What rubbish are you saying? I heard John asked back.
"Rubbish? Then explain to us how your girlfriend got loosed and where is she you bastard! The boss shouted.

"I have nothing to do with this! John shouted.
"But i saw you with her, you were smiling with her and then you loosed her to get back at me right?......... "Hey hey hey stop putting this on me! If I'm part of this you think I'll be here with you? John angrily cuts in.

" You're a fool and this is your pay! The boss shouted and i heard a gun shot and closed my eyes tight as i prayed to God to please help me out of here.......

"There is this archbishop and founder of one of the very popular pentecostal ministries in Nigeria that I met while I was in secondary school.

He organized an inter-schools debate competition and I represented my school. I won the competition, he gave me the prizes and promised to support me in my academics.

My dad died the previous year and my mum was having a hard time seeing us through school. I was so happy I could relieve her some burden on my side.

The bishop told me that I was free to come to his office whenever I need help. He placed me on a monthly salary for my academics which I always submitted to my mom.

He told me that he would like to meet my mum, I was surprised cos of his huge status...I didn't expect he will have such interest.

To my surprise he came to our house, saw my mom and told her how interested he was in me, how intelligent and smart I was and even went ahead to tell her that if it was possible for him to turn himself into a young guy, that he would do it and come to ask for my hand in marriage.

They laughed over it, he gave her 100k to take care of my waec registration and that of my two siblings cos we were in same class.

After he left, my mom gave me a prayer topic to start that night. Topic was to tell God that I'm very grateful for the destiny helper he sent my way through that bishop, and that he should please continue to control his heart not to go astray from the reason he sent him my way.

She also told me to always tell her whatever discussion I have with the man and I should for no reason accept to follow him to his house or any enclosed space.

Just as if she knew what was about to happen, the man invited me to his office like he always does at the end of every month.

I got there, he attended and dismissed every other person there including his secretary. He told me that he about traveling to abroad to visit his branch ministry there, and started telling me how we would soon start touring the world together.

He reaffirmed that he will try his best to fill the vacuum of my late dad and make sure I don't lack anything. He gave me a brand new smart phone and asked me to hug him in appreciation.

He normally hugs me whenever he sees me and I didn't see anything wrong with it. So I hugged him as usual and he gripped me tightly in his arms and the next, he started kissing me.

I struggled with him and let my self loose from his grip. He looked very embarrassed and he started apologizing. I accepted his apology and told him I wanted to go home.

He told me he forgot to bring the envelope containing my monthly salary that he was supposed to give me and that he is running out of time already to catch up with his flight.

He suggested that I follow him to his house and take the envelope so that he can also pick his luggage and leave for the airport.

I told him that i was out of time already to pick my younger ones from school and suggested that he gives it to any of his workers to pay it into my account.

He refused and said that none of his workers knows his relationship with me and he doesn't need them to know. He gave me the option of following him home or forgetting about the salary for that month.

I chose the later and I left. He didn't even give me transport fare as usual. I trekked from there to our house and I told my mom what happened.

Since then, our relationship diminished to a point that he even avoids seeing me. Whenever I chat or call him, he would tell me that he's either critically sick and hospitalized or that he wasn't in the country.

I got admission into the university and he sent me 20k to support my registration. He also sends me monthly declaration message and still sends me birthday prayers and wishes every year.

I chat him myself once in a while to check on him. When I was about getting married, I called him to know if he was in Nigeria so I could bring him my invitation card with a wine or any other gifts but he told me he was not in Nigeria.

He didn't sound excited at all, he just asked me some background questions about my husband and I answered them all. He told me that I was still very young for marriage but he wishes me well and would be there on my wedding if he's in Nigeria by then.

As my wedding drew closer, I resent him the invite as a reminder but he didn't acknowledge receiving them. On my wedding, he didn't come and he didn't call or chat to know how it went.

I called him some days later to know if he was okay at all but he didn't pick up. After 5months, he chatted me to check on me. I wasn't surprised cos that has been his behavior for over 5 years since that incident at his office.

I was happy he still remembers to check on me and I sincerely hold nothing against him. He was really sent by God to me and my family and I'll always be grateful for what God used him to do for us.

I gave birth few months later and a week after I was discharged, I chatted him and told that I gave birth. He rained congratulations on me and asked for her pictures which I sent to him. He responded that my baby is so beautiful and special and that was all.

Just 4 hours later, my baby began to cry uncontrollably. Everything we did to make her stop crying wasn't fruitful, she kept crying and jetting like someone having seizure. She even refused sucking breast.

This lasted for almost twenty minutes and we got so restless because since almost 2 weeks she was born, she hasn't cried like that before. She only cries when we are bathing her. She's always quiet and peaceful.

I wanted to try dialling my sister's number so I can speak to my mom and just immediately, my mom's call came in. I was surprised to see her call cos her phone is always switched off whenever she goes to church.

She asked about my daughter and I told her what was happening, she asked me who I sent my baby's picture to and I said nobody except few of my friends abroad.

She told me she had a strange sign of danger concerning my baby while in church so she switched on her phone immediately to call.

She told me that an occultic person I sent my baby's picture to is making an occultic invocation to siphon my baby's star and if the access he has to her isn't cut off, that my baby would cry continuously and loose breathe or she will turn to an imbecile.

She asked me to give the phone to my husband, she then told my husband what to do and that she will call us again after church.

My husband brought the annointing oil we had and anointed her forehead while bridging any access to her through prayers and she suddenly stopped crying and slept off.

I was so scared and kept checking on her breathe almost every minute. She woke up after a long sleep and was back to normal.

My mom came after church and asked if I sent baby's picture to that bishop. For a minute, I was lost because if I'm to count my enemies or those that would hurt me or my child, he won't cross my mind.

She told me that the man is very occultic and there is no occultic person that would see the kind of star my daughter is carrying and wouldn't want to have it for him or herself.

I couldn't say a word, my mouth was just open. She said the man has done it to few of his members that brought their child for dedication and it's just few because its a rare kind of star to find amongst children.

She said he uses it to intensify his powers and make his church more powerful. I was so shocked, all I could say was "what did I do to him to deserve such??, did I offend him?"

I picked up my phone to give him a piece of mind and I found out that he had blocked me. That was even more shocking. Someone I chatted not up to six hours ago, we had no disagreement whatsoever, nothing at all.

I tried calling, he also blocked my line. I used my husband's line and checked him on Whatsapp, he was online, I called him and it rang. I was numb.

My mom gave me strict warnings on how to guard my daughter until she is of age. Till today, whenever I remember that man...I feel goosebumps all over me.

My daughter has brought us so much fortune that I cannot mention all. I got my first dollar in life as postnatal gift from someone I least expected..huge amount o.

Someone gave my husband a car gift, our business started booming again, our business associates that forgot us for years suddenly started remembering us, even our debtors that we already considered bad debts are paying us.

The fortune effect extended to my mom and mother inlaw and even to three of my friends that brought me a gift at the hospital. My daughter is just six months and I feel so special to be her mum"

"My parents separated when we were still very young. My mother took us with her when she left and was the one taking care of all our bills before she died.

My father never cared. It wasn't that he didn't have the money, he was doing very well but maybe it was a way of getting back at our mother. My mother was hardworking and made sure we didn't lack anything.

When she became sick and somehow knew she wouldn't survive it, she also put things in place to make sure we didn't suffer after her death. We didn't know all these then because we were not yet adults.

After her death, we moved in with her younger sister, my aunt. She made sure my brother and I continued to enjoy the life we knew with our mother.

She advised us to go for medical courses so if we wanted to travel abroad, we won't struggle for jobs.

My brother finished his youth service last year and recently travelled abroad. My aunt made all the arrangements. I will also be going to join him when I finish with my program here.

Honestly, I don't know what would have become of us if my Aunt was a wicked person and decided to keep everything my mother left to herself.

As for my father, he has since remarried and has children with the new wife. He still doesn't care about us.

Even when our mother died and we thought he would come for us or show up at least, he didn't. I think it was at that point we realized he has completely disowned us.

It can be lonely at times, but we are grateful for our Aunt and we will certainly repay all her goodness. If not for her, we won't be where we are today. "

Some Men sha hmmmm.

🙁GOD FEARING BROTHER👨

Episode 6….

I thought I heard screams on my head as I struggled to open my eyes. I heard whimpers and cries around me but the place was dark and i tried to turn but I noticed my legs and hands were tied. I became very alert as I remembered I was at brother John house and that got me very angry.

"Hey, where am I? Who's there! John come out here now! I kept shouting and I heard the door open and a little light shone in the room. I was so shocked to see I was on my panties and bra same with the others in the room..... The guys were just with boxers and bare bodied.

I didn't know how to cover up myself, and seeing the condition I was made me very weak and the person who opened up the door closed it back before I could say anything.
"Where am I please? How did I get here? Jesus! Someone talk to me please! I shouted but no one said a word.

That night was the most terrible nights I've ever experienced. The scent coming out from there could chock anyone to death. Anyone who wanted urinating or defecating had to do it there while you inhale it into your body.

"Where in God name am I? Please God have mercy! I cried scared for my life.
"There is no mercy here. God has forsaken us, a female voice said and i sniffed.

"So finally someone can speak, Where am I please? What are we doing here chained Like animals? I asked.
"You'll see for yourself in the morning, the voice replied and i leaned my head on the wall crying.................

I don't know how i was able to sleep but the door flung open and everyone simultaneously woke up and that was how we got to see our faces.
"Get up and get out! 4 hefty guys shouted while i confusedly struggled to get up with so much pains in my tied hands.
I totally forgot my legs were still tied and with the way they violently rushed us and hit those who were not fast made me fell as the result of the rope on my legs.

"Get up! A thunderous voice shouted on me as i weakly laid there and began to cry with the way I heavily hit myself on the ground...Especially my jaw area.
"Please, please, was all i could say when one raised his hand to hit me and then Brother...... No Devil John entered.

"Don't worry I'll take care of her, John said to them.
"Guy bring am outside, they said and left leaving us and i tearfully looked at John when he squatted looking at me.

"Get up, he said and helped me up while i struggled with him. I felt like landing him a dirty slap for touching me but sadly my hands were tied and to make it more painful i was standing naked before the bastard.
I was so swelled up that i almost exploded and all he did was laugh hard at me as hot tears streamed down my face.

"You'll pay for this! My God will judge you! I screamed out.
"Stop wasting my time, he said and carried me on his shoulder outside as i kept struggling and that was where my mouth flew into my stomach when my eyes saw what was outside.

John dropped me where the others were and i quietly looked around shivering.
Human beings were slaughtered and hanged dried like bush meats.

My mouth opened as i looked at John who shifted from us and stood with his devil counterparts.
"What did I ever do to you? I asked him.
"Shut up! a man who wore a mask shouted on me to be quiet and i slowly went on my knees crying.

"No God this is not your promise to me. You said with long life I will satisfy thee, you also said you will give it to me abundantly. Be it unto me according to your word Lord, for you said whatever i hear you say, that will i do for you. Even now Lord, my blood will not spill here. Prove yourself mighty here, for my sake let there be trouble, for where ever the children of lights are........ John violently held me on my neck stopping me.

"Will you stop it now! Do you think you can pray? You know i can do that perfectly so stop deceiving yourself. Here there is no GOD and there is nothing you can do about it! John shouted almost choking me and he let go of me and i fell coughing hard.

"God please! I heard the others began to cry when John said that and before i knew it, we got held and our mouths were closed.
But in my heart i never stopped praying, they were only able to close my mouth but my heart was still pouring it all out to God.
"God remember your daughter service to you. Despite her age she never forgets to sweep and mop your church. If I've never done anything for you, please don't let her daughter waste here. See the services of your daughter and come through for me God, I cried when my mom reflected. How will the poor woman take the news of my disappearance? I thought as i looked at the people hanged.

"They are coming, one of the guys with John told the man on mask and they immediately looked happy as they shook hands with the 6 people that came holding a big bag.
"Nice products you got here, An elderly man with white beards said and i felt like stoning him.

"I never run out of good things you know, the man on mask said and right there John opened the bag and brought out cool cash from it and smelled it smiling.
"Authentic! He told the man on mask and he wickedly laughed.

"Take it in, he told him and a guy helped John to take it inside.
"So as we earlier arranged, i need 6 people. 4 ladies and 2 males, the elderly man said.

"Of course they are right here, just make a choice and we'll get them prepared for you, the man on mask said and hearing that great fear gripped everybody but I don't know where i got the boldness from.
I strongly believe my blood won't spill here as i closed my eyes reciting the book of psalms as the man pointed out the lambs he wanted. Then i heard,
" Hey you! You closing your eyes come out quickly, i unknowingly urinated where i knelt...........

Happy Sunday everyone 🥰🥰

🙁GOD FEARING BROTHER👨

Episode 5.

Just as brother John promised, he kept calling but I was asleep, and when I woke up Susan showed me the numerous missed calls from him and I smiled sitting down.
"Sha this brother John get levels o and I smell a rat, Susan said giving me a plate of pepper soup she prepared and I got it from her.
"No be only rat you dey smell, add horse, I said and a knock came on the door.

Susan opened and let Joshua in.
"Ahhhhh no be person wey been sick be this? Joshua asked immediately he walked in.
"Shuooo so the sickness been enter my mouth? I asked.

"When you were sounded as if they were about to bury you nkor? Anyway what are you eating? Its not good for sick people, Joshua said sitting down near me and I quickly shifted.
"Bia leave this food o, this is purely doctor prescription, I said and Joshua laughed.

"But I hope you're okay now? He asked and I nodded and he handed me a bag.
"I got you energy drinks and fruits and I equally took permission for you, He said.

"Wow thank you, i said as I took the bag but Susan snatched it from me.

"Ahh this is too much na, you fit extend this sickness till tomorrow, Susan said.
"Which kind talk be that one now? I asked her.

"shut up there. Anyway Joshua you shouldn't have bothered, one brother holy ghost prayed for her already and she's having spiritual glucose and fruits as we speak, Susan said and I shook my head as Joshua looked confused.
"Brother holy ghost? Joshua asked and immediately brother John call came on phone and Susan smirked while i sheepishly picked up................

Susan and Joshua couldn't stop teasing me about John in every little instance and that increased my likeness for him. Joshua didn't mind at all, and i was surprised to hear him say its my choice to be with whoever makes me happy and Susan wasn't pleased to hear that from him.

We talked on phone and chatted the more which John didn't fail to remind me for the teachers class in church.
After i returned from school on Friday, i took my rest and hurried off to church not really for the class but just to see John as he returned from his trip.

I was so much familiar with the class but was seriously absent there until it was time for closing prayers. Brother John was asked to pray but mhen, he almost turned it into warfare prayers.

When people were displeased with how ordinary closing prayers turned a revival meeting, I was so happy and was well pleased with him the more.
He came to me with all smiles after everything while i smiled back totally blank of what to say to him.

"Truly you came for the class, he said.
"Of course, so you didn't believe when i told you I'll be teaching the kids huh? I asked.

"Well i do believe you now, he said laughing and i nodded leaving the church building with him.
"So how was your trip? I asked.

"Yea it was fine, you made me kinda scared when you fell ill, he replied.
"Still talking about that? But I'm fine nah, God passed through your prayers and i really do appreciate that, i said and he smiled.

"Praise God, but i got something for you, he said.
"Really? I asked very excited and he stopped walking.

"Yea but it slipped my memory and i forgot to bring it. But i can still give it to you, he replied.
"On Sunday right? I asked.

"Even today. We can just take a cab to my place and I'll give it to you right away, he replied and i suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Are you okay? He asked when he noticed..... Probably it showed because I'm bad at hiding feelings.

"Yes, but its not necessary it should be today, there's always another day and its almost late, i replied.
"Hey Amanda what are you thinking? It won't take long, I'll just give you what i selected from the items i bought else someone might pick interest in it and i don't want that to happen. I really want to give it to you because i strongly know it will fit you well, he said.

Awwwnnn! He sounded so sweet and i didn't know when i accepted to follow him.
We got into his compound.... Very few buildings and looks dry, and then to his door, he opened up and switched on the lights and closed the door.
"Nice house, i said looking around for where to sit down, but brother no get chair and i didn't want to sit on the bed.

"Common come sit down, John said pointing on the bed and i sluggishly did.
"Please its getting late and i don't stay more than 7pm outside, I said to him.

"Sure, i told you already i wont take long but have something to drink first, he said going to the small fridge and poured in a fruit juice in a glass and gave it to me which i took it and thanked him.
"You're welcome, he said and drew a big traveling bag and brought out beautiful women shoes and bags and i quickly gulped down the drink to have a look.

"Wow this is beautiful, i admired.
"Yea, What's your size? He asked.
"40, i replied.

"Nice size and i got something pretty for those beautiful legs, he said and i laughed and watched him as he kept bringing out different pairs of shoes and I rubbed my forehead as i felt dizzy which he stopped and looked at me.

"Should i turn on the fan? He asked with a very rough tone shifting the bag aside and it was like a covering was out from my eyes as I was already sweating.
"What did you do to me? I fearfully asked and attempted to get up, but he pressed my neck hard and glued me on the bed,
"Shhhhhhhh relax and don't fight it, he said and i slowly blacked out............

THE RICH MAN'S WIFE
Episode 5

Writing by christabel Ogbogu Nwoko

The next day, Susan's Father visited her as he promised.
Susan tried her best to entertain her father from what they had at home. She prepared a very delicious food for her Father.
After that meal Susan's Father inquired about Femi.
"Father, I have not set my eyes on him for the past six months and if I call him, he won't take my calls" Susan replied
And Susan's Father felt bad for his daughter.
"What has gotten into him, I hope you have not wronged him in anyway?" Susan's Father asked sadly
"No father, I haven't" Susan responded

"I thought it was just the money problem, I never knew it has gotten to this stage" Susan's Father added and he consoled his daughter and urged her to be strong and to be prayerful
Susan's Father stayed for few days with the hope of meeting Femi but he never returned home and then the old man returned to the village

Susan continued with her little business and she prayed everyday for her home and for her husband's long life. No doubt Susan missed Femi so much and she had thought of ways to get Femi's love back. Everyday she spoke to Femi's trusted workers to inquire about the well being of her husband. Susan always felt at ease each time, she gets a positive response from them.

One-day it was Femi's birthday and Susan decided to make up with her husband, she was ready to plead to her husband to return home. She tried her best to look good, she had bought a fairly used clothes from the market the day before and was ready to pay her run away husband a visit at his business location.
She arrived there in no time and there, Susan was warmly welcomed by her husband's workers and they directed her to her husband's office. The receptionist who knew Susan as the CEO's wife, didn't inform Femi about his wife's arrival because no one knew that the couple were having issues.

Susan went into her husband's office and She almost fainted when she met him cuddling and kissing a fair busty lady.
"What?, Femi what is the meaning of this? now I know why you have been misbehaving lately, . So is because of this thing, But you have forgotten about my sacrifices and the unconditional love that I have for you, how could you be so heartless, you abadoned me and your children, for six months your children had not set their eyes on you, how could you be so heartless?" Susan broke down in tears. The fair busty lady that Femi was smooching left quietly and Femi bowed his head in shame.

"You caused it, have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately, you look unkempt and unattractive and all you do is nag because of money" Femi managed to say
"I look unkempt?, when last did you give me money to make my hair, Femi you stopped taking care of my needs and forbade me from taking a Job and now you are blaming me, this is the last straw, I can't take this anymore." Susan said and walked out in tears.
Immediately Susan left, it was as if Femi came back to his senses.
"What happened to me?, did I just make my Susan cry?" He asked himself. He ran after Susan but she ignored him.

For the past two years, Femi had been under a spell, When he stopped taking care of his wife, he ran into trouble.
His wife stopped praying for him and that was when he met Cassandra, the busty fair Lady, Susan caught him with. Cassandra was a diabolic lady, who knew spells and charms. And for the past few months she had been milking Femi dry.

As Femi returned to his office, He was in a deep thought, he couldn't explain what was happening to him, he remembered how he had met Cassandra, two years ago, Femi was on a business lunch with a new client in a nice restaurant, when Cassandra walked in. He appreciated her beauty and sincerely speaking Cassandra's complexion and beauty will make any man look at her more often as long as she was around, Femi lost concentration with the little meeting he was having with his new client, that day Femi ended the little meeting and asked the client to go because he couldn't concentrate.

Devil so planned it that Femi and Susan were at war with each other, Susan had just lost her mother at the time and she was so pissed with her husband. That the last thing on her mind was to pray for her heartless husband.
The first few days Femi met Cassandra, Femi had given her a cheque for 3 million, everything was just coming back to Femi's memory as tears rolled from his eyes.

Femi couldn't wait till the close of the day, he ran home but was shocked when he found out that his wife had moved out with thier children. He looked everywhere for her and his children but it was futile, nobody knew where she was not even her father. It was as if Femi was in eternity - the time was just too slow and he couldn't explain what had happened to him.

The gateman noticed Femi's sadness when he returned home without Susan and thier kids and the old man was just wondering - what's happening to Femi, his boss, Someone who lost his mother would not be as sad more than Femi that day.

"Sir, what's wrong?" The gate man asked.
Femi was mute.
"Sir, I'm sorry oh for meddling, but why did you ask madam to pack out of the house?, Madam had suffered so much, she even beg me for money at times, if I have I do give her, the worst is she sells moi moi( beans cake) to survive, last week the food stuff in the store got exhausted, sir, I called you uncountable times but you didn't pick, your children were hungry, but when thier mother returned from Hawking beans cake, she bought food for them" The Gate man added and Femi almost died of shock.

"I never asked my wife to leave, it was what.. she saw me with another woman... My wife hawked beans cake?..My wife beg for money, when I'm alive and well?..My own children hungry.,.... and I did nothing about it when I returned home?" Femi stammered soberly
"You didn't come home that day, infact for the past six months sir, you have not return home, madam and the children suffered oh" The gate man responded and Fred burst into uncontrollable tears
"What have I done? What happened to me? What did Cassandra do to me?" Femi said in tears.

He finally opened up to the gate man and he told him how he had lost himself for the past two years.
"I don't know what have happened to me, it just as if I'm waking up from sleep" Femi said in tears. And the middle aged security man had to admit to Femi that he was charmed.

"My uncle was a spiritualist, people came to him for such charms, spells and enchantment. Sir, you are very lucky you got your senses back, people who are charmed don't recover, infact they go mad, I guess your wife's prayer had saved you, because lately madam has been very prayerful, every night for the past few weeks, she was always mentioning your name in prayers, I always heard her voice" The gate man revealed and Femi nodded in agreement because he had noticed that he got himself immediately he saw his wife.

"Yes you are right, the spell must had been broken immediately she came to my office, oh my wife, oh Susan I'm sorry, please come back" Femi muttered in tears.

THE RICH MAN'S WIFE
Episode 4

One cool evening, Susan was thinking about her life, while her two innocent children played around her. She reminisced on the past, her love story with Femi and of course her sacrifices. She remembered a time, when Femi had an heated issue with his wealthy father, the issue was severe that Femi's father had disowned him at the time.

Then Susan was pregnant with her first child Augusta. Susan remembered how everything was so hard for them at the time. Femi was a daddy's boy who depended on his father for everything but when he had issues with his father, life became very tough on them because his father stopped rendering any kind of help towards Femi. They had to move out from a duplex they occupied at the Estate to a one room apartment because Femi couldn't afford to pay the expensive rent anymore.

At the time, Femi had no job and he had looked for a job but found none, Susan was his source of survival. She sold moimoi(Beans cake) with other snacks with a five months pregnancy and that was how they lived by those years. The rent for the one room they lived together came from there also. They lived from hand to mouth at the time. Susan was the sole provider and breadwinner of the family even with her pregnancy.

From the sale of moimoi(Beans cake) she had carried Femi and her personal needs on her shoulders for the first two years of thier marriage. Susan was in so much pain as she remembered the past.
“How could Femi refer to me as a gold digger in the presence of his family members after all my sacrifices and unconditional love?” she asked herself with tears falling from her eyes.

After Susan had thier first child, still Femi couldn't cater for her and thier baby. Femi would cry endlessly everyday because of thier situation and it pained Susan constantly that Femi had not been able to play the fatherly role that he was supposed to play in the house. It really made her heart burn at the time. She continued her petty trade shortly after delivery and one day she came across a old friend who introduced a profitable business that changed thier life.

When Susan learnt the business, she borrowed some money from her parents and started the business, and the business blossomed in no time, Susan was so good when it comes to business because that was what she studied in the University, Susan would go to the business location everyday while Femi stayed at home with thier first child Augusta and silly neighbors would gossip about them but one day she told Femi to take over the business, and things changed totally for Femi as he became self employed, even though Femi has grown the business from 1 location to 3 different locations and he even became a Rich man, Susan was always behind the scenes, giving out good business ideas and advice.

Thanks to the business, Femi's father reconciled with him when he heard how much his son had progressed without his help. Susan started the business with the 70 thousand naira she borrowed from her parents, in less than 7 years Femi grew the capital to over 50 million. With trust and love, Susan had handed over her business to her husband without looking back, They were supporting each other all these years untill Femi changed.
He stopped Susan from gaining access to his bank account and tagged her a gold digger simply because he thought his own mother betrayed his father and he thought Susan would do same to him

Poor Susan, she was just tearing up and was lost in thoughts, she didn't even know when her two children who were running around came closer to her.
"Mummy stop crying, why are you crying?" Her first child Augusta asked innocently.
"Nothing, I'm not crying my child, something got into my eyes" Susan said immediately she noticed her children's presence.
"Mummy you always cry these days, you don't pray like you used to, mummy let's pray" Augusta said calmly.

Susan marvelled at her daughter's smartness. Susan then realized that ever since Femi changed, she had stopped praying for him and thier family like she used to. That evening, Susan prayed with her children and they fell asleep afterwards.

The next day, Susan started her Moi moi (Beans cake) business again, so she could send money home to her father, who had been constantly ill, ever since Susan's mother died.
Few weeks later, Susan returned from hawking moimoi( Beans cake) and was counting the money she made through that day's sales. She was so excited that she made a sum of 19 thousand and she sent the money to her father.

The next day, Susan's day began with her father's phone call, The old man had called to thank Susan for the money she had sent to him. Hi ish on+233544142683 to be added to fresh stories kingdom, sweet and nice to room to read more stories. He prayed for Susan.
" You know mr Peter, my good friend, he had taken me in his car to the city, I have been in the city for the past few weeks but I didn't want to come to your house because of what happened when your late mother was hospitalized, in my heart, I held you responsible for your mother's death but yesterday Peter and I were coming back from the hospital where I went for my treatment, when I saw you Hawking beans cake at the bus stop, I called you but you didn't hear me, I had to come down from Peter's car to get to you but I lost track of you, at first I didn't believe my eyes until Peter confirmed that you were the one. My daughter why are you selling beans cake when you are married to a wealthy man? Tell me what's happening between you and your husband?" Susan's Father added

Susan burst into tears and she told her father everything that was happening in her marriage and how she had involved Femi's family and everything got worst instead.
"Father I'm just enduring all these pain because of my children but I needed to fulfill my duty as a daughter that's why I'm selling beans cake, I don't want to lose you Dad, the same way I lost mom, that's why I had put it upon myself to send money to you every now or then for your upkeep, I'm sorry for failing you father, mom would have been alive today, if I had sent the balance" Susan responded and her father consoled her.

"I'm so proud of you my child, May the host of angels watch over you and your family and may Jehovah grant you happiness, your husband would love you and treat you right, you will not suffer, I bless you my child, I will visit you tomorrow" Susan's Father added before he finally ended the call.

🙁GOD FEARING BROTHER👨

Episode 4.

Is Joshua humility for me? Apologizing for what he did nothing wrong, but Amanda isn't that strong hearted I think, I just cooled down..
"Agreed? I won't make the mistake again, he continued when I didn't say anything and I nodded.
"Thank you, let's go eat lunch somewhere, Joshua said taking my hand.

"Uhmmm no I want to go home, I quickly turned him down.
"No problem then, see you tomorrow, he said and I waved at him forcing a smile and went my way..

I got home and had a cool bath and sat down reminiscing all that happened in school, then I remembered Susan words to me and sighed shaking my head.
I saw Susan words as an insult to me and I wonder when Susan became concerned about my relationship status.

Susan that always frowns whenever guys come around me in school, is the same person suggesting Joshua for me just because she has a ring on her finger. I hissed loudly at that and took my phone and saw I didn't save John number. I decided to save it so I won't ask whose calling just in case he calls again..... Of course I wanted him to call again!

I went on WhatsApp and surprisingly a message popped in from John and i balanced well on the bed when I saw he's even online.
"Hey Amanda thanks for accepting to teach the children. I just found out from the pastor and he told me its your family church, I'm glad you're one of us now, I read and smiled and laid down thinking of what to reply.

But why is he so excited I'm now Part of the fold? I thought and replied;
"You don't need to thank me, we're all doing the work of God".
"Sure we are, Good afternoon, he replied.

"Good afternoon brother John, and that was how the chat started...........

2 days later I woke up feeling feverish with body pains. I managed and got my phone and called up Joshua,
"Hey what's up? He jovially picked up but my voice said it all.
"What's wrong? Are you okay? Joshua asked and i told him I'm not feeling too well.

"Its alright don't stress yourself, I'll cover up for you okay. Take Care of yourself I'll see you after school, Joshua said.
"Thank you, i said and dropped the call covering myself up with a blanket.

Few minutes later i heard my phone ringing but i couldn't pick up, it was that serious that i couldn't have the strength to whisper prayers for myself.
But whosoever was calling insisted and i managed to stretch my hand and picked up without looking who it was.

"Hello Amanda, John voice came on phone and i sniffed. My eyes were teary as I tried to speak,
"Are you sound? John asked and before I could reply, guy was already praying for me.
For 5 minutes my phone was just on my ears enjoying the prayers from Brother John and I put in an Amen when he Finalised it.

That was the most romantic moment I've ever had and i was just smiling,
"Okay Amanda I traveled and I'm not in town, but when i come back I'll surely visit you okay. But be rest assured you're healed, he continued.
"Amen, thank you so much, i said.

"Thank God, I'll call you back, John said and dropped the call. I shifted the phone aside and a knock came on the door almost immediately.
I almost cried for whoever was knocking because i didn't have the strength to open up but Susan called my name outside.
"I'm coming, i weakly replied and opened up for her.

"So you could not inform me you're sick if not Joshua did why? She asked.
"Why should i inform a married woman I'm sick when you should be cuddling your husband in bed, i replied.

"Oh is that what you've been thinking that i parked to his house? Oh sorry baby girl i intentionally told you that and you're capitalizing on it with your judgmental spirit. The principal isn't that type of man, and so you know I'm at his elder sister place because he wanted me to be comfortable, are you happy now? Susan asked but i just cuddled myself on bed saying nothing and she hissed and felt my neck with the back of her palm.

"Let me go get you drugs to calm the fever, she said.
"No I'll be fine, brother John prayed for me and i believe strongly in the prayers, i told her and she looked at me.

"Brother John? She asked and i nodded.
"You wont know him but the prayer was powerful and I know I'll be fine. I just have to rest that's all, i replied and laid down and she scoffed.

"At least let me get you pain relieve na, your eyes are watery, she said.
"I wont take it, but if you want to help then prepare food for me I'm hungry, i said and Susan folded her arms looking at me.

"This is serious, but how come i don't know about this brother John? Susan asked sitting down but i didn't reply and she heaved.
"He sounds like a God fearing guy sha,Susan said hitting me and i smiled.

"Of course he is, can your Joshua guy pray for me? I asked and Susan nodded.
"So God fearing is by prayers ba? Its alright let me prepare something for you to eat so you can have the strength to pray in the mountain with this brother John, Susan said and i playfully threw her the pillow i held............

🙁GOD FEARING BROTHER👨

Episode 3.

At the staff room i was just stealing glances at Joshua, but mhen, guy dey vex.
He no even send me and e turn back pain me.... Me sef no sabi why e come concern me when that was what I wanted.

A student came to inform me about a class and I took my bag and left, this time I left the staff room sluggishly because I'm not really good in the subject I was about to teach. Joshua was my saviour but guy no even look my face.

I went to the class and taught the rubbish I could. Any student who asked question I turned it into general assignment for the class...... I can't kill myself na.

I carried myself to the staff room with vexation as one annoying student..... One of the brightest laughed in class. Probably he knew I didn't know anything with all the questions they threw on me, maybe it was so obvious.

I sat on my desk and threw one glance at Joshua and saw he was preparing to attend to a class.
I missed the way he do ask where i got difficulties and how he will try to help. But guy just carry his envelope and left the staff room and I breathed out and picked my lesson notes.

I don't know if i was reading that book at all when a strong scent walked into the staff room and i heard hailing from the teachers there before i could raise my head.
Susan was the social and friendly one there, the teachers liked her more and I looked as she lackadaisically walked shaking their hands and came to me last.

"How do I look? Susan asked turning round and i shook my head and faced my book not replying her.
"Shuoooo! Which kind bad belle be this na? A teacher annoyingly asked.

"No don't bother I'm used to her, Susan said smiling and sat on my desk.
"That one wey dey mourn her boyfriend, another said and i raised my head from the book.

"Boyfriend? Now now now wey i comot? Susan asked.
"Joshua o, she just dey tie tie face anyhow, the first teacher said and i gave a loud hiss.

"Can you do without gossiping? I asked them.
"Say you too important for person to gossip? Another asked and I hissed.

"Calm down o no be fight. Babe can I see you outside? Susan asked and left first while I followed to where the car was.
"Any problem? You don't look well, Susan asked.

"Like you care, I replied.
"Stop this na, I'm still your friend o, Susan said.

"I hear, any way I'm good nothing's wrong, i replied.
"Okay, But what's Joshua thing I'm hearing? She asked.

"How can i date Joshua na? How is that even possible? I asked back.
"Ahhhhh Amanda why is it not possible? Minus money aspect, the guy is good you sef sabi and At least Joshua get cash na, he get business wey he dey join with this one, Susan said and i folded my arms to look at her.

"See eh, i knew Joshua was interested in you with the way he do look at you, girl go for him he's good, Susan continued and i smirked.
"Susan I'm not you o that go for guys because of the money, i know what i want and that is a God fearing guy, I said.

"So Joshua na Satan dey fear am? I no even understand this your God fearing status sef. Na matured and reasonable guys wey no dey drink, club or smoke dey meet you but they no be God fearing standard. I remember Chinedu for our place turn altar boy for your sake still he is not God fearing, babe what do you want? Susan asked and i smiled and shook my head.
"Susan wait o, so because you don wear ring with strong perfume you are now advising me on top wetin i want ba? I asked.

"Na wetin you dey talk so ba? Susan asked.
"Susan leave me o, i get my taste and i know what i want and God who sees my heart will give me my heart desire, i replied and Susan hands up.

"Sorry ma o I'm only concerned that's all, Susan said.
"Thank you, can i go now? I asked but she was quiet looking at me and I returned back to the staff room.

Hearing the bell I hanged my already packed bag and left the staffroom first but Joshua confronted me at the gate.
"What is it? I asked him.

THE RICH MAN'S WIFE
Episode 3

All through that same day, Susan was in delimma as she was looking for means to get the remaining balance, her father was not helping matters as he called Susan every now or then. All Susan's effort to get the balance was futile, all her friends and neighbors, she begged for the money, turned her down and some mocked her. Susan felt bad all through that evening.

The next day, Susan was contemplating on paying her husband a visit at his business location, When her phone rang, she received the call immediately she saw that the caller was her father, She received the call anxiously but she got a disheartening news.

"Susan, Your Mother is dead, before I could convince the doctor to start the treatment, it was too late, the doctor at first refused to treat your mother because the money was not complete, before I could convince the doctor to start the treatment, that I will balance up, it was too late, my daughter if you had sent in the complete payment, your mother would still be alive, I don't know why you refused to send the balance, this is an act of negligence from your side and it's not like you don't have the money, you do, you are the wife of a wealthy man, I don't know why you couldn't send the whole 80 thousand at once" Susan's Father said in a low tone

Susan was already in tears and was mute. She didn't see any need to explain herself to her father, what is done is done, her mother is dead. After the call, she rolled herself on the floor crying, she couldn't believe that her sweet mother was died. "I can't believe my mother died because I couldn't provide common 20 thousand naira, oh my God, why my mom? She suffered so much for me and she died because I couldn't get 20 thousand naira, this is so unfair, heaven knows that i really tried my best yesterday to get the balance but no way, Mom I'm sorry" Susan said in tears.

Few months after, Susan's mother was buried and Femi threw a befitting burial ceremony but Susan's Father was still angry with her and her husband. Because he knew his wife would still be alive if her daughter had sent the balance on time. He didn't value the big burial ceremony Femi, her daughter's husband threw for his late wife.

After the Funeral, Susan returned to her base with her husband and things returned to the way it was. Susan was still wretched and miserable as ever. She was forced to involve Femi's family in the matter. She opened up to them and told them how her own mother died because she couldn't send money to her father on time.

"For over two years now, my husband had refused to give me a dime, not that he doesn't have, we all know his worth financially, but you won't believe that I don't have even one thousand naira in my account, I'm tired of the insults I get from my friends each time I beg them for money, the worst My husband had forbade me from taking up a Job, how will I survive, please ask him what he wants me to do" Susan told Femi's family members

And Femi flared up, Immediately he responded " please my people, ask her if she is hungry or naked, this woman is ungrateful, she claims that I don't do anything for her but I'm the one who threw a befitting burial ceremony for her mother, you all were present at the funeral and you saw things for yourself, I spent close to 2 million for that burial, she said her mother died because of common 20 thousand naira, ask her if she told me that her mother was sick, I never knew that her mother was sick"

Femi's father asked Susan if his son knew that her mother was hospitalized and still refused to give her money. "No, he wasn't aware because he was not taking my calls..." Susan said but Femi interrupted her immediately.

"Oh daddy you can hear her, this woman is a very dangerous woman, all women are very dangerous, including my mother that's why she abadoned my father and flew to Europe with her lover with half of my father's wealth, all susan wants is my money, She is a gold digger, she doesn't care about me or my happiness" Femi threw in and Susan was speechless, she couldn't believe Femi could say all that to her after all they have been together as a couple

Susan was in tears and she couldn't even defend herself, Femi's family ended up getting confused with the matter but they tried they best to solve the issue but mostly, they took Femi's side, they left afterwards and promised to visit again for settlement. They urged them to live in peace with each other.

Things grew worst between Femi and Susan as their marriage grew more cold, Femi barely looked at Susan's face and he did as he pleased

THE RICH MAN'S WIFE
Episode 2

That evening, Susan told Femi about her plans. "My love, I want to start looking for a Job, so I could be productive". Femi was mute and Susan wondered what was in his mind. "My husband say something" she added.

"So you want the whole world to call me an incompetent husband, Right?. I see, your plan is to ruin my good name, why do you want to work? Are you hungry? Are you the one paying for our children's school fees? You contribute nothing in this house, so what's your problem, our store is filled with food items, tell me what else you want? Or do you want an excuse to go out to visit your numerous lovers" Femi said at once,

"I beg your pardon,what do you mean by that, you know I have never cheated on you in this marriage, where is this coming from, the reason I want to take up a Job is majorly for my parent's sake and I have my own personal needs too, which you had stopped taking care of and I need to help myself and my parent" Susan said at once.

"So you mean because of Money, you will not listen to me, right from day one, we agreed that you will never take up a job but all of a sudden you want to go against me because I stopped being your ATM, you see , you are just with me for the money" Femi entered and All Susan's effort to make him understand was futile, he stood on his ground, he forbade Susan from taking a job and he walked out on Susan in anger.

As soon as Femi left she burst into tears, she wondered what has came over her husband. "Femi doesn't listen to me anymore, He is just like a different person entirely, he is no longer the same man, I married years ago" Susan thought in tears. Susan decided to go on with her plans of getting a Job, with or without Femi's approval with the hope that he will change his mind, when she gets the Job.

Four weeks later, Susan got a good Job and when Femi found out, he was so pissed. "So you went ahead to disobey me, you defied my order, you have just shown your true colors, I see that I can't control you, you have no regard for me but let me tell you something, you have just dug your own grave, to the whole world, we are a married couple but to me, you are no longer my wife, it's over between us hence I couldn't tell you what to do, you are no more my wife, to hell with you, I don't care what happens to you, from today, you are not related to me" Femi said in anger and all Susan's effort to make him understand why she took the Job was futile.

Femi kept to his threats as he stopped eating Susan's meals, he stopped sleeping in thier matrimonial room and gradually, he stopped returning home. Susan was so shattered, she involved people who her husband would listen to including her father in-law but still Femi's heart was unmoved. For the sake of peace, Susan left the new Job but still Femi refused to return home. Susan was devasted and in a dilemma as she couldn't understand what had went wrong in her marriage. The worst was that Femi wasn't taking her calls.

One day, the worst happened when Susan got a call from her father that her mother was hospitalized. "My daughter, your mother is critically ill and we need 80, 000 naira before the doctor will commence treatment on her, you know your mother is also diabetic" Susan's Father told her, She could sense fear in her father's voice. When Susan ended the call, She became frustrated, she wondered how she was going to explain to her father that she couldn't provide the money.

"I don't have a dime on my account and the worst my husband who I would have asked for the money has not returned home for weeks, how will I get 80,000 naira now? Oh my God, who will I turn to? All my friends including Anna had mocked me because of my incessant begging, why is my life miserable, even though my Husband is wealthy, how can a Rich man's wife like myself, be unable to afford 80,000 naira, life is so unfair. I will never forgive myself, if any thing bad happens to my mom" Susan thought sadly.

She decided to give her husband a call with the Hope that he would pick up, Susan called Femi severally with no luck. She went into thier bedroom and she turned thier wardrobe upside down, with the hope that her husband left money somewhere but she found no money, she was about to lose hope, when she saw her husband's gold wrist watch, immediately she rushed to the pawn shop to pawn the wrist watch.

Unfortunately, She got 60,000 naira from selling her husband's gold wrist watch instead of 80,000 she needed. Immediately she sent the money to her father for her mother's treatment. "My daughter thank you so much but what about the 20 thousand naira balance, the doctor still insist I complete the payment, please my child" Susan's Father entered calmly and Susan promised to complete the payment as soon as possible.

"How is Mom?" Susan threw in sadly
"She is here, we are expecting the doctor, I pray the doctor agrees to start your mother's treatment, the doctor is so mean, I wonder if he has a heart, but don't worry my child, your mother will be fine" Susan's Father replied

"I'm 50years old, I got married so early at the age of 21 and I gave birth to seven children (six girls and a boy).

My marriage has been so blissful even though I and my husband were struggling to make a living. My husband loves me so much and has never given me a reason to doubt him.

We both came from a stinkingly poor background and we were determined to change our narrative for good. I am business personified but my husband isn't.

He's more domesticated than I am, he even cooks better. He does literally all the chores, and takes care of the home while I do the financial aspect.

He pampers me, doesn't let me stress myself and doesn't grumble about the chores he does. He also gives me business ideas when I need them.

None knows how we run our home, not even our children. That's because we do it with love and understanding.
We continued the struggle of raising our kids and kept praying that things get better.

Our first daughter got an admission and two weeks after the Goodnews, I lost my husband. He was very sick but the Nigerian system failed him.

I was 39years when I lost him and our last child was just 11months old. It was like the end of the road for me. There was absolutely no none there for us cos we don't keep friends, it's just business acquaintances.

My family was very far from me, a huge part of me left me. He kept appearing to me with words of encouragement from time to time and kept begging me not to give up.

It was really hard, lonely and devastating for me. It was so hard for me to adjust with the chores and all that he does in the house. The hardest for me was parenting cos my children are so stubborn.

I lost balance financially, he kept coming in my dream to motivate and encourage me. He promised to always support and protect me. I picked up and like magic business boomed.

A lot of men started coming to seek my hand in marriage and even friendship but I turned them all down. I married my husband a virgin and he was the only man I knew until his death and even till today.

It has really been a rollercoaster for me, I faced serious intimidation from men who felt they could do anyhow because I am a widow. People even carried a rumour that I used my husband for ri*tual and it's why I started acquiring wealth after his demise.

I'm grateful for where I am right now, our children are all in school and doing well. My first daughter is a graduate(RN/RM Bsc) and practicing. Second daughter is in her final year in nursing as well.

My third daughter and my son are also in their finals studying optometry while my fourth and fifth daughter are studying law and anatomy respectively. The last is still in secondary school.

My first and third daughter are married with kids, and they are doing well as well. God has indeed been a husband to a widow like me and I feel it's because I kept myself intact even when my fellow women adviced me to accept the rich men that were coming my way.

My joy is however incomplete all the time. It hurts that my companion isn't here to see how life has turned out for us after all the suffering we went through together.

It hurts that our daughters are getting married and he's not there to play his role as their father. It hurts that he didn't see any of his grandchildren. It hurts that he left without tasting the fruit of all his labour.

I still weep everyday in my heart, it's been 10years now but it still feels so fresh. Who would be there when all my children get married? The vacuum he left in my heart is so large and I doubt if it will ever get filled".

THE RICH MAN'S WIFE
Episode 1

Susan had been happily married to Femi for over 5 years and they had two beautiful children, a boy and a girl. Femi was a very hardworking business man who always listened to his wife's advice. Apart from being a wise wife, Susan was also a good woman, almost every week Susan would fast and pray for her husband's success. Susan barely prays for herself, all her prayers were centered on her family, mostly she prayed for her husband.

Susan wanted her husband to be successful and no wonder she always dishes out good ideas and advice to her husband. Susan loved her husband so much, Femi was her first and last love and she could happily lay down her life for him.

Over few months, Susan had tried to talk her husband into venturing into other profitable deals that will make his business flourish but Femi had always declined. "I Don't have enough money to run such deals and what if the deal fails? My business will go into bankruptcy" Femi had told His wife Susan but still she insisted that he should try it out. "My love, I can't decieve you, if you had noticed, all the investment, I approved are always profitable and this time will not be different, trust me" Susan had added

Susan was her husband's personal financial advisor, Every business investment Femi made, he would first discuss it with his wife and she would always give out good advice and sensible opinions about it and her advice always turn out to be a good one as Femi always saw progress in those investments susan approved that he can invest on.

The bad business investments Femi have made and saw loses on are the ones Susan had advised him not to invest on but he failed to listen and went ahead to invest in them, then from those mistakes Femi had learnt to always listen to his wife on the business investments she approves and declines.

Femi decided to take his wife's advice and went ahead with the business deal and to his utmost surprise, he made it big. He became extremely Rich. Susan definitely has Femi's best interest at heart and Susan thought Femi appreciated her. When the business deal was successful, Susan was the happiest woman on the planet, she danced for Joy. Femi praised her for her intelligence and wonderful ideas and she blushed.

Everything was going great, Susan and Femi were living thier lives until Femi's parents suddenly got divorced. Femi's whole sense of marriage and love died as his beloved mother was the guilty one, she left Femi's father heart broken and she had flew to Europe with her lover with half of his father's wealth. Femi was emotionally drained as he never believed that his mother could do all that to his father. And that was how Femi began to take out his anger and disappointment on his wife Susan.

"Women are dangerous, if my mother could do all that to my father after 35 years of marriage, then all women are not to be trusted, not even my wife" Femi had told himself. As time went by, Femi made sure Susan had no access to his wealth anymore, he stopped giving her money and the worst he stopped involving Susan in his business deals. Susan was shattered but she love her husband so much, that his money meant nothing to her.
Femi only provided the basic needs of the house like food and the children's school fees but he stopped giving out his money to his wife and he stopped asking for her opinion or advice. In no time, Susan began to lack maintenance, her hair was always unkempt and her clothes were worn out but still Susan doesn't mind as long as Femi was in her life as her husband, nothing else matters.

Soon everyone noticed that Susan was not looking good as she used to, gradually she became the talk of the Town and some concluded that she was just being simple.

Susan was constantly in lack as her husband had stopped giving her money to take care of her own needs. Susan decided to start her own business, so she could be getting little money to take care of her personal needs and send money to her parents as Femi had also stopped sending money to her aged parents.

She visited her best friend Anna with the hope she could lend her the capital needed for the business. Susan doesn't mind starting small and she had already mapped out the kind of business she will go into but she got the biggest insult of her life instead.

"How can a RICH MAN'S WIFE be as miserable as you are? Susan you are always begging me money, when my husband is not as wealthy as yours, where do you want me to get 50 thousand naira from?, Susan I don't have any money for you, go and meet your husband, he has money, and moreover, what kind of business, will you do with 50 thousand?, Your husband is a rich man, tell him to set you up with a big business and stop coming to me for any financial help, please, I have my own problems too" Anna, Susan's Friend said bluntly and Susan was so embarrassed and ashamed.

She quietly left her friend's house and she walked back home as she couldn't even afford a cab. All through her walk home, she was in a deep thought, she wondered why her husband Femi stopped assisting her and her family financially.

"My husband knew that I'm the only child of my parents, why will he do this to them, He was the one who stopped me from taking a Job after our wedding and he promised to take care of my parents but now anytime I ask Femi to give me some money, he always tells me that he doesn't have, when I know he worth over 30 million, and if I persist he will tell me that I'm so money conscious and that I want to ruin him, what have I done to him? Why is he treating me like this? This is so unfair. My friend Anna, who had been lending me money since two years now, has also decided to stop assisting me? How will I cope? I think this is the perfect time to look for a job, I'm a graduate after all, I studied business administration and I know how my parents suffered to see me through the University, I refuse to be a liability and a beggar, when I know I could make my own money" Susan told herself.

SOMEONE'S TRUE LIFE STORY

"I am 34 years old now, Something happened when I was very young, I think, primary 4 or 5, but I am certain I wasn't in secondary school then.

I got into secondary school at age 11, so this happened when I was about 8 to 9 years

I am the second child, but my elder sister didn't grow up with us. She grew up with our grandma, so automatically, I shouldered the responsibility of the first child. I did chores like washing of plate, fetching water, and preparing some cooking things before my mum will return from the market.

It was a face me I face you compound so all the neighbours were always hailing me on how I do my chores without been told. I made things very easy for my mum

One of our neighbours' son who has been away came back. He was in senior secondary school then. He was really a nuisance, nobody seems to correct him.

This particular guy gave my mum heavy blow one time like that simply because I had a fight with his younger brother and my mum suddenly came and met us fighting so she flogged both of us for fighting that was how he came out and gave my mum heavy blow.

Meanwhile, he was there when the fight started but didn't say anything nor try to separate us or make peace.

All my mother could tell him that day was that he would meet someone that is more than him.

Everything slided until this guy started abusing me. He will call me to their house, remove my paint, and use his p*e*n*i*s and be rubbing me

I didn't understand what was going on, I only knew I would see white stains on my paint. I will go to our house, change my pants, and continue doing my chores.

I couldn't tell my mum because I always remember the heavy blow the same guy gave her. My father is not approachable. We all fear him. You can't even sit around him, let alone to discuss.

The next time this guy called me again, I gave a line of excuses that I had to fetch water before my mum came home. He ordered his younger brothers to go and fill our drum with water

They went to the well while he took me inside. His brothers filled our small drum and the big one.

They swept and joined me to do other chores at his command. Things that I normally won't finish doing before my mum returned were all done.

My mum came back and was happy that we had enough water. She didn't know what was happening.

At this point, I understood that giving excuses with chores won't help me, so I resulted in running away.

That period was during the holiday so I will take advantage of morning period when people are still in the compound to do what I have to do, once people start going to the market by that 10, 11 I will carry my younger once outside to go and play

I will be outside till 5 pm when people are returning from the market, then I will go inside the compound. By doing this, I was no longer able to help my mum with chores like I used to

She can come back somedays and not a single water in the house. The plate we used to eat in the morning is unwashed.

My mum will beat me up. There's is no day she wouldn't beat me. Neighbours started complaining that I have changed, that is why I'm I allowing my mum to talk too much. They started calling me stubborn

Sometimes, they will even join my mum to discipline me for not doing chores. My mum will come home tired, that is the time we will start doing house chores and cooking. Something I used to make easy for her before.

At this point, I prefer my mum to beat me every day rather than allow the guy to keep touching me.

One faithful day, he was caught touching someone else. The person that caught him reported to the girl's mum. The girl he was touch just entered secondary school, Jss1 boarding school so she came home for holiday.

The person that caught them said I was there. Actually, what happened was that we were playing in front of the abusive guy dormout. Their house was facing our own house directly, so we shared passage. I was backing the door while I was playing with the girl who caught them

When the girl saw what was happening inside, she went straight to report. The guy denied it, and I was called as a witness since I was there

The landlord was informed of the incident, he was a very respected religious man ( he is late now).

That was how they called me to testify as a witness as he was denying seriously, I looked straight into this guy eye and said, "Why are you lying?" I saw you, that is what you do. I'm I lying? He couldn't say anything

The mother of the girl arrested him. He was punished. It didn't end there.

The landlord of the house said he didn't want to see him anywhere in his house. That it is either the whole family pack out within 24 hours or the guy should not cross his compound from the police custody

Since the parents couldn't pack out in 24 hours, they had to send him out

That was how I got my freedom from constant abuse. It wasn't long we also packed out of that compound, they also packed out but still within the same locality. Few years later we moved to our own personal house.

You might think that I lied, but that was an opportunity to do something to gain my freedom. Even though I didn't see it, I knew he did it.

I kept all these to myself till recently when I saw him and how miserable he was leaving when I went to see my parents. I started the discussion with my mum and I told her excatly what happened then.

This particular incident made me to grow up with the ideology that I am not a virgin

When I was in secondary school, when girls are saying they are virgins I don't say word, I always have flash of the whole incident uptill when I got to the higher institution

My mates will always rub it on my face that so I am not a virgin blah blah blah since I don't get to say
anything in such discussion."

🙁GOD FEARING BROTHER👨

Episode 2.

The next day at school, just as I was entering the gate I met with Joshua and wanted dodging from him, but there was no where to dodge to. I just had to put up a strong face to pass him.
"Amanda good morning, he greeted first.
"Morning Joshua, I replied and wanted passing.

"You're avoiding me right? He asked.
"Please I have a time book to sign, I replied and went my way.

When I initially got employed with Susan, Joshua was the one who helped us out with things we couldn't understand.
We became friends not until he brought up the "I like you" kind of talk every time.
I knew where that was going to, but eh, he was a catholic.

That was a big turn off for me. But wait o, they swear for me? The guys coming are all from orthodox churches, and they will be very very serious and very sincere with me, but it has always been my dream to marry a God fearing brother from a Pentecostal church and no amount of their care could change that.

Before I even left for Ondo state..... In fact one of the reason that made me leave was one guy from the white garment church who didn't let me breathe.
He was just all over me and I kept binding. He even said he can change the church for me but I concluded it was all a lie to get me, and in order to escape from him I fled.

Here is Joshua again o, where are the Pentecostal brothers nah? I thought and unknowingly hissed when signing the time book and left to see Susan coming out from the principal car.

Hmmmm i just stood looking at her as they approached the building. I greeted the principal and he replied and left to his office while Susan threw kisses at him and smiled at me.
"Wassup? Missed me? She asked and i shook my head.
"So you're not coming back home? I asked and she rolled her eyes.

"Are we still discussing this? Babe i don grab this one and this one i stand. Soon I'll be out of this teaching bla bla and have my own big time boutique where I'll be dealing on imported things, Susan replied feeling so fly and i folded my arms looking at her.
"What's the look for? Are you not happy for me? She asked and i heaved.

"I didn't say anything o, but if he really wants to marry you he should do something on your head na before parking to His house as if you're married, you look kind desperate to me, i replied and Susan scoffed.
"I take God name beg you, don't start this morning with your scolding. Babe I'll soon be 25 o and there's no dull moment, and who says he won't marry me? Someone that is asking my parents when he's going to see them. See eh, aunty go and teach o, levels don change, Susan said.

"Ah ah, you're not following me to the class? I asked.
"To do what kwa? Abi make i come supervise you as you dey teach? E be like you don't know wetin dey sup o, I wan carry motor now go make my hair and you're talking about class. See ya later, Susan replied touching my cheek and ran back to where the car was parked and drove off and i breathed out.

"Vanity upon vanity, I said and saw Joshua coming and i quickly dived into locomotion but he ran after me.
"Amanda stop this childish behavior of yours. How can ordinary i like you change you this way or did i do anything wrong? He asked.

"Yes Joshua yes, what do you mean by I like you? Is it because I took you as a friend? I asked.
"Oh i should hate you as a friend right? he asked and i kept quiet looking away from him.

"Fine suit yourself, he said and left.
Aghnnnn! Just like that?
"Suit yourself too jare, i said and my phone began to ring with a strange number.

"Hello, i picked up.
"Hey good morning Amanda, a bright voice came on phone.

"Morning, who's speaking? I asked.
"Okay my name is John from the church you worshipped yesterday. I just want to check on you and thank you again for stopping by, he replied.

"Oh its nothing, i said.
"Yea and I'm looking forward to see more of you, he said and i smiled.

"You don't have to when the pastor already made me the children Sunday school teacher, i said.
"Are you serious! He shouted with so much happiness in his tone.

"Argh argh! I replied and we laughed.
"I'm not aware but that's good news, he said.

"If you say so, i said.
"If that is so then see you on Friday for the teachers class, he said.

"I'm aware of that, i sad.
"Okay ma'am see you then, take care Amanda, he said.

"Thanks for calling, bye, i said and dropped the call and just like that o, John brightened up my mood as i happily bounced to the class.........

Sit back and enjoy reading this story 😇

🙁GOD FEARING BROTHER👨

Episode 1…

After my NYSC, I decided to change environment and moved to Ondo state with my friend in search of greener pastures.

I and my friend secured a job in a secondary school and in less than 5 months working there, my friend was already in a very serious relationship with the principal just like that o.

Hmmmm somehow I felt jealous. I was already 25 years and soon to be 26, no relationship. I won't say guys has not been coming,ⁿ but they were not God fearing for my liking.
Its either I won't like the church they worship or they were not serious with God, I wanted a God fearing brother nau and I never stopped praying for one.

Before I knew it the principal didn't waste time to engage my friend o, and with a speed of light my friend relocated to his place. Hmmmm children of the world!

That lonely evening after writing my note of lesson my mom call came on phone and I picked up,
"Hello mommy, good evening, I greeted.
"Evening, why is your voice low? She noticed.

"Nothing mommy, I'm just alone here o and I'm thinking of how I'll be paying the house rent by myself now, I replied.
"What do you mean by that? Where's Susan? She asked.

"That one? Her boyfriend abi Man friend proposed to her and she quickly relocated to his place. When i asked how we are going to take Care of the rent, she replied that I should be thankful she didn't stay until the rent is over and i should be able to start saving before it expires, I replied.

"Eh! So ordinary proposal she packed to a man house with no bride price? She asked.
"I told her to be careful but she knows what she is doing, so i kept quiet before I'll be tagged bad belle, i replied.

"Ahhh this is not fair na then you have to start saving up so that you can meet up. But Amanda no news yet? I mean no serious brother yet? She asked.
"Mama I'm still praying and I'm not even worried about that, my own time will come and it will be Better, i replied.

"Of course my daughter and please don't give yourself so desperate like what Susan did if not he won't respect you o, she said.
"I know na, no God fearing brother can do that sef, I said.

"Sure my daughter, so you've not found our family church to attend? I don't like all this pastor and Mrs church you're going o, she said and i laughed.
"Mama i found one, i didn't know it was there o because there was no banner on the road. So don't worry I'll be worshipping there tomorrow, i replied.

"Good! Now you're talking, and don't worry too much about Susan behavior or the rent okay, God will make a way, my mom said.
"Sure mama, Greet everyone for me, I said.

"I will, and take care of yourself, my mom said and dropped the call and i checked the time and stood up to prepare dinner.........

The next day i dressed up and located my family church which was a short distance from my place.
The building was not too big but the congregation there was approaching hundred which consisted of youths, men and women including children.

It felt so good to be in my family church and i loved the preaching and everything.
At the end of the service the pastor asked to see first timers which i decided to wait behind despite I'm an old member.

The pastor was also happy to hear its a family church and quickly told me to pick up something to do in church and i just smiled.
"Okay I'll teach the children in Sunday school, i finally accepted when the pastor kept insisting.
Then came a Well built handsome guy who I noticed was very vibrant in church.

He was an usher, a lead singer during praise and when it was time for prayers, the pastor can't beat him with the holy ghost he rained down.
He came to take our details and to follow us up,

"Hello, I'm John by name, please can you fill this? He asked giving me a short form to fill and i took it and returned it back to him after filling and that was where he saw my name.

"Okay Amanda I'll love to see you worship with us next Sunday, thanks for coming, John said with all smiles as i stood up ready to leave.
"Sure, i said to him and headed to the door back home, but eh, brother John was a full package for me.........

To Be Continued 😊

HMMM MY PEOPLE THINGS DEY HAPPEN O.

" I have this friend of mine who has been trying to conceive. We grew up together, so our friendship has been long. She is regarded as part of the family in my house, and I am also regarded as part of her family in her house

We got married almost the same period and we also based in the same location. This means that even after marriage, we were still very close.

It's been 9 years now, and she has been trying to conceive. She has gone for a test, and everything seems to be alright with her, according to the report.

This lady, out of desperation, has visited so many prayer houses seeking answers to her prayer.

This is someone who grew up knowing and trusting God. She has always been a preacher of holding on to God alone.

I don't blame her much, especially because of the pressure she gets from her in-laws for children.

I have always prayed and fasted with her. Two years ago, she tried IVF, and it failed. I watched her cry her eyes out, she was so depressed.

Early this year, she told me that she is suspecting her husband might be the problem, and she said she would join him with another woman to confirm

I told her not to try it as it might not end well. What if the person she wants to try that with gets pregnant? What will she do

She didn't give me a good response that day. She sounded as though she was sure the person won't be pregnant

I forgot about the whole of our discussion and kept on praying for her so God would remember her.

Two months ago, I sent my kid sister, who is 16 years old, to go and collect something in her house for me.

My sister took so long that day, I got worried at a point when I called my friend her number wasn't going through. Even before my sister went to her house that day, I called her, and her number wasn't going through. That was why I sent my sister to her.

When my sister came back that day, she was looking somehow

I asked her what happened and why she took so long, she just told me she was watching film at my friend's house. I ignored everything

My sister got sick, and I was busy doing self medication. When symptoms persist, I decide to take her to the hospital. They did some test for her and discovered that she was pregnant

How ? What happened? My sister has been staying with me, she just wrote WEAC.

I started asking her questions and she said the day I sent her to my friends place that she didn't know how she slept that when she woke up she saw herself in her bedroom and her pant was off, she didn't know what happened but she knew someone took advantage of her

I took her to my friends house to ask her what she did to my sister, that was when she started saying it's the work of the devil that she didn't know she would get pregnant. She just wanted to confirm if her husband was the problem for her childlessness.

Turns out she drugged my sister that day I sent her and made her husband sleep with my sister.

She said when she saw my sister that day, she saw it as an opportunity for her to clear her doubts and confirm things for herself

She is claiming she also drugged her husband before making her sleep with my sister. The man is claiming he doesn't know how everything happened

How is that even possible? Can someone who is drugged sleep with another person who is drugged? I just can't understand it

My kid sister, who is preparing for the next Jamb, you made your husband get her pregnant?

One thing is sure, this friendship is over, and she must pay for this crime."

"When I was 9 years old and in primary school, I had a teacher that was always flogging us. Infact, all students used to be so scared of him because of that.

I was his class prefect and the overall best in my school then. Sometimes when I come to school late, he doesn't flog me. He would rather give me a minor punishment.

The name of my school is Community primary school Awo mbieri, mbaitolu L.G.A Imo State and the name of that teacher is Mr John. I can't really remember his surname, he should be in his late 40s then.

One day I came to school late and he told me that my punishment would be to clear grass at his house after school. Most of my classmates usually go to his house after school as per teacher's house so I didn't fret.

After school, he took five of us(all girls) to his house. When we got there, the other girls rushed into his room and even went to his fridge to take water to drink.

They were so relaxed probably because they always come there but I wasn't relaxed one bit. It was my first time there and moreover I was scared of him because of how he likes to flog students.

He asked me to come into the parlor and sit down, he was just acting nicely and I was surprised cos I was there to serve the punishment of clearing grass and I've never seen him that nice to students.

I asked him of the grass I would clear so I can go home, he laughed and told me that he had already forgiven me. He said he just wanted me to come to his house and feel free just like my classmates.

He brought water for me to drink, I drank and told him that I wanted to start going home since I'm no longer clearing any grass. He ordered me with a harsh voice to sit down and pull my skirt.

I became scared, the other girls were all in his room. He pulled my skirt himself while hushing me. He unlocked his belt and brought out his manhood.

At that age, I didn't have any slight idea of what was happening. He asked me to lie on the couch and he tried to insert his manhood into my body but it wasn't entering.

He kept saying "nawa oo, nawa ooo" and I was pushing him because his weight was on me. He stood up after several attempts and asked me to dress up properly and go.

He asked me if I was alright and I said yes, he then gave me transport fare and asked me to make sure I come to school early the next day.

I told him my mom already gave me transport fare, I thanked him and left. I got home and didn't tell anyone about it cos I didn't think anything was wrong or needed to be told.

I didn't go to school late again and avoided anything that will make him punish me.

I'm married now and while I was pregnant, I saw him from afar where I went for antenatal and I was filled with rage because I now fully understand what happened then.

Who knows how many of my classmates and even my seniors or juniors in school that he messed up? What if he disv*irgined me then??
What about STIs??"

HMMM ALWAYS EDUCATE UR CHILD ABOUT SEX EDUCATION BECAUSE OF THINGS LIKE THIS.

THE WITCH’S DAUGHTER

CHAPTER 4

At my age, I was already engaged to be married to a woman. A woman who had never met my parents and I had never met hers. Very strange. I was just five years old and she was almost five years too. Our union was an unholy one because it was bonded by witchcraft; an oath, not before God but before the powers of darkness. I had quite technically sold my soul to the devil. Yes, if that was not what it was, then what was it? Right now, as I speak, I could be watched by invisible spirits, waiting for me to derail, for me to break the terms of the oath and wring my neck. How did I get here? How did I come about having a teenager’s mind in a child’s body? Children my age are living their lives innocently. Here, I was, battling between a witch, her daughter and the anger of my father should he find out the recent happenings.

I had heard stories of invisible spirits, ghost and ghouls, watching people in the dark, waiting to seal their doom. Could I be in the same fate now? I was once told about a man who went to a bablawo and asked for protection from his enemies. The ritualist agreed to give him ten demons who will guard him wherever he went. If he was sleeping, they would stand by his bed, watching over him. If he went to church, they would stand outside and wait for the service to be over. However, he was asked by the ritualist whether he wanted his guardians to be visible or not. He agreed that he wanted them to be visible. That was his mistake. He was told to go home and wait for them to appear at midnight.

It was exactly midnight when the demons appeared. He had even forgotten and had not prepared himself psychologically for their coming. He had just finished freshening up when they appeared. Their looks where so terrible and horrible. He gave out a terrified scream, fell down and died. I hoped that was not the fate that awaited me.

I had been avoiding going to the witch’s house. She could not come to my house for fear of my dad’s reaction. My dad, though loving and caring, was a man with a hard countenance. Anger was his constant condition. I knew the witch’s daughter missed me terribly. However, I didn’t miss her. The whole thing was regrettable. However, though she missed me, I knew she wouldn’t bother because of the oath. She knew that no matter how long it took, I could never break character. I could never leave her. I was trapped. She didn’t see it as a problem but I saw it as one big problem. The worst part of it was that I couldn’t tell anybody.

As fate would have it, I was suddenly relieved from all my sufferings. My father came home one day and said the mission had asked him to come back to our former station. That meant we were leaving. I was overjoyed. I would be leaving that neighbourhood and all it’s wizardry. Most importantly, I would be leaving the witch and her crazy daughter. I thanked my stars and promised myself I was never going to involve myself in any amorous relationship again until I had come of age.

But then, I felt everything was not altogether right. What if the witch’s daughter followed me to our new station? She was still a child and couldn’t travel on her own. But Lily, as she was called could still use her spiritual powers to locate me. I had heard of stories of witches and wizards locating people who are even out of the country, in other continents. My father had once told me a similar story. The story was about a girl who was being dogged by some witches. She finally travelled to America and thought she was safe.

However, one day, she got back from work and when she was about to open her glass door, she saw the image of her witch aunt in the glass reflection. She quickly turned around but saw no one. Next thing she saw was an owl, perched on an electric line opposite the house. She screamed and ran inside the house. The witch tormented her so much that she travelled to Africa to seek for spiritual help. When she got to Africa, a family meeting was held and the accused aunt was warned never to pester the girl again. But the very next day, she was siting in front of the house with some family members when she saw her aunt, in a spiritual form, coming to feed her. She was with some people and they were all invisible.

She screamed and alerted the other family members who were around but no one could see anything or anybody. Her witch aunt and the other witches in her company grabbed her, and fed her with roasted cocoyam and palm oil. The people around her could see palm oil stains on the white T Shirt she was wearing but couldn’t see who was feeding her. When they finished, they left and she died.

I decided that I would have to tell my dad and face the consequences if anything mysterious should start happening to me. We had scheduled to go back to our former station in three days. I felt it would be unfair and wicked to leave without telling Lily I was leaving. It would seriously break her heart and it was not a very prudent thing to break the heart of a witch’s daughter, especially one who had some knowledge of the dark arts herself.

Witchcraft is a dark and powerful magic and I had to be extra careful. That was what was in my mind as I ventured to the witch’s house that afternoon for what I figured would be my last time ever. I had to be on my guard. Firstly, I didn’t know if Lilly’s mum was home and I was also sure there were scarier and more dangerous things in that house than the infamous black cat and the ritual she and I had performed to bond our love.

Luckily for me, when I got there, Lily’s mum was not home. I wondered if that woman was ever home. She ran into my arms as soon as she saw me.

“Where have you been?” She asked. “I have missed you.”

“Home, my parents wouldn’t let me step away from home. I was grounded.” I lied.

“I said I missed you,” She reminded me.

“Oh, of course I miss you, too.” I lied “But there is something I have to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“We are leaving.” I broke the news to her.

“What? You are leaving? What does that mean?” She was already in tears.

“My father has been transferred back to our former station. We are moving in a few days.”

“OMG!! What am I going to do? What are we going to do? What about our vows? Our oath? Our promises?” She was weeping now, uncontrollably.

“I am sorry, I am just a child and you know that. There’s nothing I can do. My father is taking all of us away. I wish I could stay longer but I can’t.” I tried to make her see reason.

She wouldn’t budge. She was weeping seriously. She was inconsolable. Just then, I heard my mum calling my name. I had to leave immediately. I gave her a quick and hurried hug.

“Goodbye, Lilly. Goodbye.” I said, as I hurried away.

“Goodbye, Sammy. Goodbye.” Remember our oath, Sammy. Remember our oath!!” She called after me as I ran.

“Our oath, Sammy, our oath. Keep to our oath my love. Please wait for me. I love you. I love you, Sammy. Please come back to me someday. I will never forget you and I will never stop loving you, my husband to be.” Her voiced faded away in the distance as I left.

A few days later, we moved back to our former station and away from Lily and her mum, the witch.

~THE WITCH’S DAUGHTER~

CHAPTER 3

The next day, I waited when I was sure her mum must have gone out again and I went to visit again. She was cautiously happy to see me again. She looked like she was a lonely child. Her mum seemed to be doing her very best to keep her away from every type of human contact. That was quite understandable though. She had a deep distrust for anybody. She feared someone could harm her child.

“Where is your mum?” I asked.

“To the forest, as usual.”’

“Have you eaten?”

“Yes.”

“You are beautiful.” I said.

“Thank you. You are handsome too.”

“I want to take you to live in my house.” I proposed.

She laughed so hard that I felt stupid.

“My mum will kill you.” She said. “Please, cancel that idea from your mind. You simply don’t know how dangerous my mum is.”

“On the contrary, I do and that is the reason I want to take you away from here.” I said.

“Forget about it and stop joking. You are just a child. We both are. You can’t take care of me.”

“I will talk to my father about it.” I was wishfully thinking.

“Hahahahahaha!!” She laughed again. “You are a fool. Your father will be very angry with you for deliberately daring a witch’s daughter.”

I realized there was no way I could convince her. I was just a child by the way. What was I even thinking? I was just five years old, though I reasoned like an eighteen years old. I knew my dad would have my head for bringing another person’s child to the house to live with us, not to talk of the child being a witch’s daughter. The problem was that, I was falling in love with her and wanted to save her. I was too young to fall in love. But how can you control something that originates from the heart?

I was afraid that her mum was going to meet me there. I had to hurry and go back to our own house. Their black cat had already returned. That meant she was around the corner. I had even started suspecting that the black cat was her totem. But before, I left, I had one last conversation with her. A conversation I would wish for the rest of my life that I never made.

“I want to marry you.” I said without even knowing the implications.

“Are you sure?” She asked.

“Yes, I am sure. You are beautiful. I think I love you.”

“You are the only friend I have ever had and you are the only person on this earth besides my mum who cares about me. I love you too and I will marry you. However, we are still children and cannot marry now. So, we will keep our vows and marry when we come of age.” She said.

“Yes, that is true. We can only marry when we grow up. I will wait for you, no matter what. Now that I have found you, I will marry no other person and I will love no other person.” I said, innocently.

“Are you serious about that? Are you serious about what you are saying?” She asked, seriously.

“Yes, I am sure.” I said, innocently but with all seriousness.

“I wish I could move away with you now. The only obstacle however, is my mum. I wish she could just pass so that I can be together with you.” She lamented.

“Calm down, we will soon grow big and marry. That is for sure. Seems you are having doubts about me. How can I prove to you that I will never disappoint you?” I asked.

“Let’s seal it with a bond. A very strong bond that no one can break.” She proposed.

I accepted. Up until now, I had taken her to be an innocent little child. I had completely ignored or disregarded the fact that she was a witch’s daughter and her mum might have taught her a thing or two about her craft. I was now getting myself in something that would hunt me for the rest of my life.

She took me to the back of their house and pulled out a black egg from a mysterious looking bag. She also brought out an old needle tied with a black and red cloth. She asked me to spit on the ground. I did. She did too. She then mixed our saliva on the black soil with the needle, rubbed the soil on the egg, held my hand and asked me to look at the sun. With both of us looking at the sun, she made this pronouncement.

“Invisible forces that can only be seen by the trained eye, bare witness to my eternal bond to this handsome boy. We are children now, but we will grow. When we do, we will marry and live happily ever after. We will have children who will bear children in return. I shall never love another man and he, too, is not allowed to love another woman. You are our witness.”

She broke the egg and I saw a dark shadow left the shell of the egg. It was like a translucent little human. It stooped for a while, seemed to look at us for one brief moment then evaporated. It then occurred to me that I had just signed a pact with a witch. I was terribly afraid. I was sweating and shaking.

“How did you learn all this?” I asked.

“My mum taught me.”

“I thought you hated her?” I asked

“She is my mum. I can never hate her. I just want her out of the way so that I can have my freedom. Now that I have met you, my priorities have changed. You now mean more to me than a sack full of gold. Please leave now. My mum will be here any moment. Go now, my love.”

I left her house with a run. I made up my mind never to go there again. But what good will it do? I was already part of her. We had made an oath and I was bound to it. I could not tell anybody without facing serious consequences. With no one to confide in and no one to comfort me, I felt alone in the world and kept my fears locked in my heart.

A TRUE LIFE STORY: GIFT OF GOOD FRIEND

"I am 23 years old, and to God be the glory, I am now a graduate. I lost my mum at a very tender age. I was told she died when I was 3 years old while she was trying to birth her second child.… Load more

"I am 23 years old, and to God be the glory, I am now a graduate.

I lost my mum at a very tender age. I was told she died when I was 3 years old while she was trying to birth her second child. She lost her life and that of the baby.

The inheritance my mum left for me was her friend. You know that kind of friend the bible said, "Stick closer than sisters?" That was the kind of friendship they had.

My late mum's friend told me that she had met my mum while she was in school, they graduated together and that my late mum was the reason she graduated with a good grade. She told me that my late mum was a very intelligent lady and she was so free and peaceful.

I call my late mum's friend an inheritance because she transferred that love to me, this time as a daughter. She was always there for me. She supported me throughout my primary and secondary. She showed me the right part to follow. She always prayed for me.

Almost everything thing I know today that guided me are what she taught me.

When I was in secondary school SS1 or so, she called me one day to her house. I usually spend most of my holiday with her but this particular discussion was on a weekend. She said she doesn't want to hear that money became an issue for me not to achieve success academically and that I should never hide money issues from her. She went ahead to tell me that I became her responsibility the day my late mum was buried and that I shouldn't feel otherwise. She assured me that she would be there during life hurdles.

When it was time for me to write WAEC, my dad had a financial problem that period. He did business with someone, and the person cheated him of huge sum, so it was a major setback for him. My dad is very hardworking. He tries his best to ensure that I and my step siblings never lack necessity.

When the registration was almost ending and it seemed as if I won't enrol that year, I called her and told her what was happening, and she stepped in.

The next morning, she came to my school and cleared all my fees for that session, paid for my WAEC and NECO, and bought the books I needed for that session.

Her actions that day stirred up another realm of study in me. I decided that I must write this WEAC and NECO once and pass my papers.

All I was doing that period was doing my chores, praying and studying my books.

God helped me, and when my result came out, I was one of the best in my school.

After celebrating my WAEC result, she came to our house and called my dad and I to a meeting that she had something she wanted to tell us.

She said now is time for her to step in completely for my education, she said she has been saving for 15 years now for my university education.

She and my late mum had so many plans together before death suddenly took her away. They had plans to do business, travel together, make money together, and that their children would school abroad.

That while others didn't happen that she made up her mind that this would happen. She already saved enough money in my name to see me through my study in the university.

All I did that day was just cry, I don't know how to be grateful to her.

She started the process as one of her children was already studying in America as of that period, so she has knowledge of the whole process.

I gained admission to study in America, and that was how I travelled out.

My journey abroad exposed me to another life entirely, and I was able to see beyond the walls of my house. I was able to break out of the limiting mindset I once had all because of her. God bless you mummy 🙏

I am now a graduate. It wouldn't have been with such ease without the inheritance of my late mum, the inheritance of friendship.

To my late mum; I heard of all your kindness, I am enjoying the dividend. Thank you for all you did and for this great investment. Keep resting."

*THE WITCH’S DAUGHTER*

CHAPTER 2

Two days later, after we had cleaned the house, we moved in. The first thing my father did was to bring a powerful, local man of God who prayed for the house and poured anointing oil. Feeling secured after the pastor’s prayer, we settled in to begin enjoying our new home.

It had been a week now and we hadn’t had any incident. I was already beginning to believe what my father had said about the agent’s stories. As scary as the stories sounded, I still wanted something adventurous to happen and had been disappointed that nothing had happened so far. I loved ghost stories and ghost encounters as long as they don’t kill me.

The next day, after my dad had gone to work and my mum and younger sister were having an afternoon nap, I wandered to the back of the house and noticed something I had not noticed since we got there. It was an old house surrounded by a thick bush. The house looked mysterious to me and this increased my curiosity. I wondered why someone will leave the surroundings of his house so untidy in this modern times. I decided to go check who lived in the house. When I got there, I met a beautiful little girl, just about my age.

“Hi there!” I called.

“Hey”

“How are you?” I asked.

“Good and you? Where do you come from?”

“We moved in a few weeks ago. We live in that house there.” I said, pointing to our house.

“Ok, my mum told me about it.”

“Your mum? Where is she? Who else do you live with?”

“Yeah. I live with my mum. Just the two of us.” She said.

“I want to meet her. Where is she?”

“She went into the forest since morning and hasn’t returned yet. By the way, I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to meet my mum. In fact, it will be a prudent thing for you to start going.”

“Leave me alone.” I said. “What is wrong with you? Where is your father?”

She didn’t respond.

“Please, tell me why you don’t want me to meet your mum.” I urged.

“She is a witch. Yes, my mum is a witch. Please go before she comes. I don’t want something bad to happen to you, please.” She begged.

I refused to go. I told her I wasn’t going to move an inch until she told me all about her mum. She did. She said her mum had been driven from her village for practicing necromancy. A woman’s husband had died. This woman loved her husband very much and wanted to be with him again in spite of the fact that he was dead. Someone directed her to the witch who used her powers to invoke the woman’s husband. The woman’s dead husband appeared in her temple for real. Not his spirit but his flesh and blood. The widow was called at the dead of night to meet her husband. She was very happy to meet her dead husband again. However, they were warned never to make love or she will die. She didn’t heed to the witch’s warning, made love to her husband and died. Her husband disappeared and was never seen again.

The villages got angry and chased her away from the village. The villages had tolerated her enough. That was not the first time she had openly practiced wizardry in the village. There was another time the children of the village were complaining that each time their parents go to the farm, a strange little child came and played with them. He even ate their food. Their parents had many times set a trap to catch this strange little child. However, they had never succeeded.

The witch was invited and she succeeded to catch the strange little child. It was discovered that the little boy was a ghost. He left his grave everyday when he was sure that the villagers had all gone to the farm and only the children were left at home. He came and played with them and ate their food. When he was sure their parents were going to start returning from their farms, he vanished and went back to his grave. That was his normal routine until he was caught and destroyed.

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets as I listened to the stories about her mum. Any other little child my age might have been very afraid and would have left immediately. I was the opposite of every little child. I was very interested in the stories instead and wanted her to tell me more.

“Please, go now. I can hear an owl hooting and our black cat which had been absent since morning had suddenly appeared. That was an indication that my mum would be here any minute. Please, go.” She begged desperately.

“I will only go if you tell me one more scary story about your mum.” I said, excitedly.

I was playing with fire and deep down I knew it. However, I had an unholy appetite for all things supernatural.

“Okay, please, promise you will go after this, please.” She almost went down on her knees.

“Alright, I promise.” I said. I was enjoying the whole show.

She told me that the first time that her mum had come close to being exiled from the village was when a neighbour had given birth to a beautiful baby. That neighbour had quarreled with her mum only recently and had called the latter an old and ugly hag. Her mum had decided to revenge in a way and time of her chosen. When the neighbour brought her new born baby from the hospital to the house, her mother magically came at the dead of night and burst the child’s ear lobes and put earrings in them. The neighbour was outraged when shoe got up at night because of the baby’s incessant cries and realized that her earlobes had holes and there were earrings hanging from the holes.

The next day, they visited a with doctor who told them who was responsible for the act. The woman assembled the village youths who would have lynched the witch. However, she was spared when she confessed and was made to pay a huge fine.

I had heard enough for one day. I said my goodbye and quickly left to our house. The little girl felt so relieved when she saw me leaving. I went home and my mum and kid sister where still sleeping. I decided that the next day, I will go and see her again. I had a feeling she wasn’t happy. I decided I would be her friend and someday, who knows? I might her free her from her mum, the witch. A decision I will seriously come to regret in future.

*THE WITCH’S DAUGHTER*

CHAPTER 1

I was only five years old and we had just moved into that neighbourhood. My father worked at the hospital, which required us to move a lot. The hospital, which was run by a church, had a habit of transferring its hospital staff to a new station every after about six years. That’s how we happened to find ourself in that town and in that neighbourhood. Under normal circumstances, we were supposed to live in the hospital compound. The hospital actually had a compound for its staff. However, we were told it was full. We had no choice but to seek accommodation in town.

My family was composed of my dad, mum, younger sister and I. My younger sister was three and had just started school before we were forced to move. My mum was a teacher in the private sector and my dad as you already know, was medical personnel.

It was difficult for us to have accommodation. However, my dad was advised to seek the help of a housing agent. While our belongings were packed at the hospital store room, we had to wait another two weeks before we could get a call from the agent. He asked my dad to see him in his office the following day. He said he had been able to secure for us a good apartment for a family our size. My dad was very pleased and promised to see him the next day without fail. The next day, my dad took me along in his car to see the agent. We got to his office some thirty minutes later and this conversation followed.

“Good Day, Sir and welcome.” The agent said.

“Good Day, young man. How are you?”

“I am fine, Sir.”

“So, any luck yet? Have you been able to get an apartment for me like you promised you would?” My dad asked.

“Yes, Sir. I have. A nice apartment. I hope you will love it.”

“I hope so too. But why did you say that?” My dad asked, bewildered.

“The neighbourhood, Sir. I am not a very big fan of that neighbourhood. In fact, I am not crazy about that neighbourhood at all.” The agent said, sweating.

“Why? What is wrong with the neighbourhood?’ My dad asked.

“It is said that witches and wizards inhabit the neighbourhood. Terrible things have been happening in that neighbourhood. In fact, a lot of terrible stories have been coming from that part of town.”

My dad was a devout Christian. As much as he believed evil spirits exist, he also believed strongly in the holy spirit. Stories of ghosts and evil spirits didn’t scare him. He believed nothing under the sky can harm him as long as his faith and trust in God was unshaken.

“Tell me some of the stories of that neighbourhood you have heard about.” My dad said.

“Are you sure you really want to hear?” The agent asked.

“I do. Please tell me. I am, a busy man and I don’t have time to waste. Go on with your stories about painted devils.” My dad was getting impatient.

“Sir, the stories are real. These stories are not about painted devils. They are real. For example, the mother of the lady who owns the apartment I am getting for you was said to be a witch. She has died, anyway. However, rumour has it that, the landlady was her favourite child. She therefore passed on all her witchcraft to her before dying. It is rumoured that she killed her husband, that is the father of the landlady.” The agent narrated.

My dad didn’t seem to be scared by the stories. In addition to his strong and unwavering believe in God, my dad was also a very stubborn man. He was also very adventurous, a trait I had unfortunately acquired.

“The father of the landlady; was he rich?” My dad asked the agent.

“Very rich, Sir. Very, very rich.” The agent said.

“That explains it.” My dad said, laughing. “Whenever a rich man dies, people always accuse his poor and innocent wife. That is Africa. I don’t believe any of your stories. Let’s talk about the rents, terms and conditions and when I am moving in.”

“Ok, Sir. If you say so. I just said I should tell you what I need to tell you, so that you don’t say I hid anything from you in the future.” The agent said.

“Alright, thank you. Now let’s get to the real business of the day.” My dad had really become impatient now.

“The apartment costs 50,000 a month. You have to pay one-year rents upfront.”

“Ok, what else?”

“There are just two apartments in that particular building. Yours is at the right-hand corner. The landlady also lives in the compound. Her own apartment is directly opposite yours. However, there is a huge space separating the two buildings. You can move in as soon as you are able to pay the money.” The agent explained.

“That will be tomorrow. I will pay tomorrow, clean the house and moving in the day after. Now take this.” My dad said, handing him the agency fees.

“Thank you, Sir. Thank you very much. I appreciate.”

“That’s alright, young man. Now any other ghost stories?” My dad asked with a smile on his face.

“None whatsoever, Sir.” The agent said. I suspected in his mind, he said, “You will find out for yourself.”

My dad asked me to get into the car and we drove off. As we drove home, he warned me not to tell my mum anything about the agent’s stories. He made me to expressly promise him I wouldn’t. I did promise I wouldn’t and I had no intentions of not keeping my promise. My dad was not the kind of person whose promise you would break in any circumstance. He was a great disciplinarian but very caring and loving.

My dad hadn’t believed anything he was told by the agent. To him it was an old wives’ tale. To him it was stories men told each other when they were drinking at their ogogoro joints. However, as young as I was, I believed the agent and I was very angry at my dad for making me promise not to say anything to my mum.

I believed the agent because I had experienced some strange things in our former station. I couldn’t tell if they were real or not but they were very vivid and explicit. One day, while I was at the back of the house, I had seen witches, carrying little babies on their backs, dancing. They disappeared as soon as they realized I had seen them. At night I was always seeing a black head always looking and blinking at me. I also once had a hallucination where some wizards were trying to kill me and my dad was begging them not to. Suddenly my dad was dragged away and as they attempted to strike me; my three years old younger sister appeared in the form of an angel with a halo around her head and saved me.

I had never told anyone any of these devilries. As young as I was, I kept them in my mind. I decided that as we moved into the new house, if my father didn’t want to take any precautions, I would. For the sake of my mum and younger sister.

🏪My First Time 🥺🏪

🦟🦟(episode 7)
Last episode!🦟🦟

Tonia couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Eric kneeling at the altar. She was surprised and very happy. Her joy knew no bound as it couldn’t be contented. Eric was about to make one of the biggest decision in his life and she was so happy to be present.

“Oh thank you Lord! you are indeed mysterious in your ways” she silently said as she got up from where she laid and went back to the choir stand. After the pastor was done with the salvation prayer, he welcomed the new converts to their new family in Christ and dismissed them to their seats. Tonia kept smiling all through the service, she couldn’t wait to see Eric afterwards.

After service Eric stayed back on his seat and bent his head downwards. He was reflecting on his past life and all the wrongs he did. He couldn’t believe that God could love someone like him. He was so grateful and suddenly felt a big burden lift from his spirit. “I feel whole and different” he thought to himself.

As Eric was still on sober reflection, Tonia walked up to him and touched his shoulder. “Are you ok?” She asked looking into his eyes, “I have never been more ok in my life” he replied. Tonia couldn’t help it but smile and beckoned on him to stand up so they could go home as it was already passed 5am.

On their way home, Tonia kept thinking about giving Eric a second chance but didn’t know how to start the conversation. They finally arrived at Tonia’s house and Eric turned off the car. “Tonia can we talk before you leave?” He asked, “Yes we can” she replied.

Eric took a deep breath and said “Thank you for loving me sincerely when no one did. Thank you for showing me the way that led to light when you found me in darkness. I bless the day I met you and want you back in my life. I don’t know what tomorrow holds but I promise to never let go of your hands again. For the first time in my life, I’m sure of what I want and that is You!” He said almost tearing up.

Tonia was so emotional at this moment. She looked at Eric and said “You are my treasure, I couldn’t have wanted anyone else but you. You showed me a different dimension of God’s love I never thought existed. I used to think that God’s love was conditional but my journey with you has made me realise that even at my worst, God still remains faithful”.

Eric held her hands and said “I’m sorry for taking your virginity, I could have stopped you even though you wanted it”. Tonia smiled and looked into Eric’s eyes. She couldn’t stop the tears flowing down her eyes.

“I might not be a virgin physically but I choose to consider myself a virgin in Christ. He has washed my sins away and have accepted me again as his bride. I’m holy and pleasing in his sight and I have chosen to keep myself till I’m finally joined with the man that would take God’s place as the bridegroom” Tonia said in tears.

Eric was dumbfounded as he stared at Tonia. He kept wondering what manner of rare human she was. “It would be an honour for me to make you my wife someday and I’m willing to wait till our wedding night before I touch you again” he said looking into Tonia’s eyes.

After their intimate conversation, Tonia alighted from Eric’s car and bid him goodbye. She entered her house and knelt down to thank God for all that has happened. She slept like a baby all night, knowing that she was back together with the only man she ever loved, same with Eric.

Days turned to months and months turned to years. Eric was done with his degree program while Tonia still had a year left. On the day of Eric’s graduation, Tonia was present and was so happy seeing him graduate in flying colours. He bagged a second class upper and unknown to Tonia, he had already planned with the organisers to give a speech.

As the graduation ceremony went on, Eric was called upon and he walked down to the pulpit. After he was done snapping picture with the Rector, he collected the mic to give his speech.

“I was lost and no one cared to find me until you came along. Words would fail me today if I want to start listing everything I’m thankful for. I’m a graduate with good grades today because of three people; God, good lecturers and you “Tonia”. I love you and that’s why I’m asking you before all these people to marry me. Would you marry me?” Eric said as he knelt down.

Tonia almost collapsed as she couldn’t believe her eyes. “OMG! I could die from this shock” she said as she walked down to the pulpit. Everyone in the hall kept clapping as she walked.

She got to where Eric was kneeling, stared into his eyes, smiled and said “Yesssss!”

🏪My First Time🥺🏪
episode 6

The news that Tonia was waiting in the living room hit Eric so hard that he had to tell Daniel to repeat himself. He didn’t want to believe that the only girl he ever loved, whom he was trying so hard to forget was seated in his parlor.

“How did she know my house, who brought her here?” He asked in anger, “I did” Daniel replied. “Why didn’t you tell me first” Eric enquired, “It was impromptu, she saw me in school and apparently, she has been looking for you so I had no option than to bring her here” Daniel replied.

Eric was so confused and didn’t know how to face Tonia or have anything to say to her. “Tell her to leave” he said raging, “Just try and see her so you hear what she has to say” Daniel pleaded.

After much persuasion, Eric obliged to see Tonia. He warned the girls in his room to remain there and not step their feet in the living room. His heart couldn’t stop beating fast, as he walked down the corridor that led to the living room.

At the sight of Tonia, Eric’s heart dropped and he tried his best not to show any emotions. Tonia on the other hand, couldn’t control her heart beat too, as it was beating uncontrollably.

“Hi” she greeted, “Hey” he replied and sat on a different couch. “You moved, why?” She enquired, “Nothing” he replied. “Ok, so how have you been?” She asked, “Good” he replied.

Tonia was getting frustrated with Eric’s mode of communication as she was the only one asking questions. “Please can we talk about us?” She asked, “There’s nothing to talk about” he replied. Tonia could sense that Eric didn’t want to talk to her and wasn’t excited to see her either.

“Eric I’m so sorry for how I treated you, I know I was childish, I know I could have done better with how I handled everything, it wasn’t your fault and I’m so sorry for cutting you off for such a long time” she said. Eric was mute for over 2 minutes and finally said “It’s all good”. “So where does this leaves us? Are we still an item?” She asked. Eric looked into her eyes and finally said “I can’t find you in my heart anymore, I think it’s time you leave” he said as he got up from where he sat.

Tonia was feeling so devastated and her heart was bleeding. “Oh My! I don’t want to lose Eric, I do love him, I have to tell him” she thought to herself. As Tonia got up from where she sat and was about telling Eric how much she loved him and didn’t want to lose him, those two girls walked through the corridor. One of them gave Eric a peck and they both bid their goodbyes as they left his house.

Tonia was shocked beyond words, she looked at Eric who was mute. “Wow! So glad to see how much I meant to you that you couldn’t even wait a little while before you replaced me” she said as tears rolled down her eyes. Eric at this point was touched and wanted to tell her how much he was going crazy about her and how those girls meant nothing to him, but he was rather mute.

“I’m gone and just so you know, I really loved you” she said as she walked away. Eric was so furious and immediately pounced on Daniel. “why did you let those girls come inside the parlour when you knew fully well that Tonia was there” he said, vibrating in anger. “I tried to stop them but they said they had to leave, that you were taking too long” Daniel said.

Eric angrily wore his clothes, entered his car and drove off to a party he was invited earlier to. While at the party, so many ladies identified him and came to chill with him. He tried every possible means to get his mind occupied so he wouldn’t have to think of the incident that occurred at this house. The more he tried to get his mind off Tonia, the more he thought about her. Eric was going crazy as he couldn’t get Tonia off his mind all through the party.

On the other hand, Tonia cried all through her way home. She was heart broken for the first time in her life. She couldn’t believe Eric could replace her so fast. It broke her heart the more knowing that he took her virginity. “am I ever going to get over him?” She asked herself.

Tonia tried to move on, same with Eric but it seemed so difficult for them. After about a week, Tonia had a project to work on with a male course mate so she stayed back after class till evening. After the project, they walked home together as they lived close to each other.

Eric sighted Tonia walking home with him and raged with an intense feeling of jealousy. “Why do I care?” He asked himself and tried to ignore them but couldn’t. He walked to them and excused Tonia from the guy she was walking with. “Can I talk to you?” He requested, Tonia looked into his eyes and her heart skipped a beat, “Ok” she replied. “Can we seat in my car?” He asked, “Ok” she coldly replied.

They got inside the car and there was silence. Eric kept staring at Tonia, whose head was faced down. “I was going crazy because you didn’t want to talk to me, I tried to hold on but the more I did, the more I fell apart. I had no other option than to go back to the things that could fill in the gap you left opened. You are the first girl I have ever truly loved. You broke my heart” he said with teary eyes. Tonia couldn’t hold it as she broke down crying. “Why did you have to go back to your old lifestyle? I was scared when I saw those girls in your house” she said as she cried.

“You have to decide which life you want and stick to it. I want you to change because you sincerely want to and not because of me, with that way, you’ll be able to stick to your decision even if I turned out to be a bad role model someday. I love you probably more than you love me, because I seek for the salvation of your soul and want you to be a better person” she said as she opened the door and got down.

Eric was deeply touched. “Where are you going to?” he asked in a low tone, “I’m going for Vigil later this night so I need to leave” she replied as she closed the door.

As Tonia got home, she immediately dressed and prepared for the night Vigil that would be holding in her church. As she got to church, she joined the choir to rehearse the song they would sing. Unknown to her, Eric came and was seated in a corner at the back.

Service began and Tonia sang a particular song that made her cry. Eric was so touched and started tearing up. The pastor called for those that wanted to give their lives to Christ. Tonia was still deep in worship and didn’t notice that Eric was kneeling in front of the altar.

As she was done singing, she laid on the floor and broke into tears silently praying for Eric in her heart. They pastor asked those that came out to repeat the salvation prayer after him. Tonia kept hearing a familiar voice. “It can’t be him” she told herself.

As the voice persisted, she finally got up to clear her doubts and Lo and Behold, It was Eric!

(episode 5)🦟

As Tonia broke the unfortunate news to her mum, there was silence at the other end of the line. Her mum had an emotionally melt down and couldn’t utter any word to Tonia who kept enquiring if she was still active.

“Mum are you still there? Please say something” she pleaded, “Tonia why? why didn’t you wait a little longer till you got married? After all I did to make sure you grew up serving God, why did you choose to repay me this way?” Her mum said in a sad tone.

Tonia felt more disappointed in herself as her mum’s words worsened the whole situation. “I don’t have anything to say to you as this is between you and God” her mum said and cut the call. Tonia fell into deeper thoughts and cried more. “What should I do Lord? Are you still there? Do you still love me?” She thought to herself.

The next day, she summoned up courage to go to class as she had missed alot. On her way to school, she bumped into Eric. “Can we talk” he pleaded, “No!” She replied. “What’s the matter with you? What have I done to deserve this torture from you?” He asked almost tearing up, but Tonia paid no attention as she walked away.

Eric was so pissed and immediately entered his car, banged the door and speedingly drove off, leaving his friends behind. He was later traced by his friends to a bar, where he was drunk to stupor. They tried to take him home but he refused to go.

“Guy why are you doing this to yourself” they asked, “you all should go and leave me alone” he replied almost in tears. “I told you not to fall deep for that babe but you paid deaf ears and now just look at you” his friend said. Eric couldn’t talk further as he kept sobbing. “I love her, she’s the first girl I’ve ever truly loved and now she doesn’t even want to see me” he said as he sobbed. His friends pitied him and carried him to his car and drove to his house.

After about a week of being sober and not having access to Tonia, Eric returned to his old ways and this time around, it was worse than before. His womanising increased and he became emotionless.

Eric stayed back late in club houses and always returned with multiple ladies. He moved from his old house to a bigger apartment where the big boys in school lived. He had no mercy for his parents money as he doubled his lavish lifestyle.

At this time, Tonia had healed a bit and started missing Eric. She felt bad for how she handled the whole virginity saga and felt she owed Erica an apology. “I miss him and it was foolish and childish of me to behave the way I did” she thought to herself.

After much deliberation, she picked up her phone to call Eric but his line was not available. She tried to call his other line but same thing. It hasn’t come to her knowledge yet that Eric had changed his lines. She tried visiting him at his house but he had moved out.

Tonia started panicking at this point as she didn’t have any clue of what was going on. She searched for him in every familiar place she knew he’d be but couldn’t find him. At this point, Tonia was loosing her mind and didn’t know what else to do.

“I can’t lose Eric, I love him” she said as tears flowed down her eyes. She was walking back home after a fruitless search when she bumped into one of Eric’s friends. “Hey Daniel, how have you been?” She greeted, “I have been good” he replied in an unexcited tone. “Please I have been looking for Eric but can’t find him, do you have any idea where he is?” She asked, “Tonia, I honestly shouldn’t be talking to you after what you did to Eric” he replied. “What did I do?” She asked, “He was loosing his mind, always seen with alcohol, couldn’t think straight, all because of how you left him hanging” he said.

It was there and then that it occurred to Tonia, how much damage she had caused. “Please can I just see him?” She pleaded, “I’m on my way to his house now, let’s go together” he said. Tonia was so happy knowing that she would see Eric in no time.

As they arrived at Eric’s house, Tonia was made to wait in the living room as his friend went to inform Eric that she was there. Daniel walked into Eric’s room to the sight of two girls lying on Eric’s bed with him. He didn’t know how to inform Eric that Tonia was waiting in the living room.

“Hey Daniel my man what’s up?” Eric greeted, “guy can I talk to you alone?” Daniel requested. “Guy please say what you want to say here, I’m preoccupied” Eric said laughing. Daniel finally summoned up courage and said “Tonia is in the living room”.

🦟 (episode 4)🦟

Tonia’s virginity reveal came as a shock to Eric, as he never would have thought a lady at that age would still be one. He immediately redrew himself from her body and stared at her with a mixed feeling of both excitement and shock.

“Are you serious?” He asked in a surprised tone, “Yes I am” she replied. “Tonia I’m so sorry for coming this far, I didn’t mean to” he pleaded, “No it’s ok, it’s not like it wasn’t consensual” she said. “Do you want to stay or we can still make it to your place now” he asked. Tonia thought for a while and told him it’s best she remained at his place, as it was already late for her to go.

Eric kissed her forehead and promised to wait until she was ready, even if it meant till they got married. Tonia was astonished by how Eric maturely handled the whole situation and there and then, she knew he was worth waiting for.

“I want you to be my first and only” she said in a low tone. Eric pretended as though he didn’t hear what she said and asked her to repeat herself again. “I want you to be my first and only” she repeated, “Baby I don’t think we should” Eric replied. “I have waited all my life for this day and there’s no other person I would want but you” she confidently said, looking into Eric’s eyes. “Are you sure you want this?, I do love you and feel same way but I can still wait if you want me to” he said, “Today is the day” she replied.

Eric reached out for her lips and kissed it gently, “I would make today a memorable one for you” Eric said as he laid her back on the bed.

The rain seemed to be in sync with them as it wasn’t showing any sign of stopping soon. Eric gently took her clothes off and kissed her whole body like his life depended on it. He gently caressed her and squeezed her soft skin. Eric gave her the ride of her life to a wonderland of ecstasy. He made everything just about her and not himself. Tonia screamed in excitement and called his name over again, squeezing the pillows as she bit her lips.

As the whole atmosphere was charged up, Eric went to his wardrobe and brought out a box that contained protections he used during his playboy days. He picked one and walked back to where Tonia laid. “I want you to open this” he requested, “Why me?” She asked. “I want to have your final consent” he said, “if you open it by yourself, I would know you truly want this” he continued as he handed the protection to Tonia. She paused for a while and finally opened it.

Eric gave Tonia a night to remember and he made sure her first experience was worth it. They slept afterwards, cuddling eachother.

The next day, Eric woke up and found out that Tonia wasn’t next to him. He walked to the living room only to find her crying bitterly. “What’s wrong?” He asked but she gave no response. “You are getting me scared, please what’s the problem?” He asked, but she gave no response again.

As Eric was getting frustrated, Tonia got up and walked out on him. Eric tried to grab her hand but she knocked his hands off. “Just stay away from me” she shouted as she left his house, “What have I done?” He thought to himself.

Eric was loosing his mind trying to figure out what he did wrong but couldn’t get any reasonable answer as to why Tonia was angry with him. On the other hand, Tonia got home and burst into tears. “What have I done? God probably hates me and would never forgive me” she said as she cried.

Tonia didn’t go to school or attend fellowship for over one week. She locked herself up and turned off her phones, she didn’t want to see anyone. Tonia cried and almost fell sick.

Eric was restless all through and visited Tonia over 100 times but couldn’t access or see her. Eric was going crazy and regretted ever taking Tonia’s virginity. Tonia’s pastor and church members were worried and came looking for her but couldn’t access or see her too. She locked the doors and didn’t answer anyone that knocked.

“God hates me!” She said repeatedly, “My mum would be so disappointed, who am I? She continued.

After about a week of being indoors, she picked up her phone and called her mum. “Hello mama” she greeted sobbing, “How are you my daughter, I have been calling your line since yesterday but it isn’t going through” her mum said. “I’m so sorry mum” She said in a shaky voice. “Are you ok my darling?” Her mum asked.

She paused for a while and said “I have something to tell you mama, please don’t hate me”. Her mum already started sensing what the problem might be and asked “What is it?”. Tonia finally said “Mum, I have lost my virginity”.

🏪My First Time 🥺🏪

🦟(episode 3)🦟

Eric’s heartfelt confession to Tonia gave her goosebumps and she was mute for over 2 minutes. This was the first time a guy has outrightly confessed his love to her. She wasn’t used to the outburst of emotions she was feeling at that moment.

“Please say something” Eric pleaded, “I’m sorry I have to go” she said as she got down from his car and walked into her house. Eric was so devastated as this was the first time in his life a lady turned him down.

Eric went home and fell into deep thoughts, same with Tonia. They both thought of each other but Eric did more of the thinking. Tonia thought of the advice her mum gave to her and made up her mind to stay away from Eric but there was this part of her that wanted him. She tried all she could to fight it but couldn’t.

The next day, Tonia was on her way to school when she bumped into Eric. “Tonia please can we talk?” He asked, “No, I’m in a hurry” she replied. “It would only take a minute I promise” he said and she obliged to his request.

“Tonia I know I’m not your ideal man, I know I have lived a bad life, I know I’m not in your world, but you are driving me crazy. I could be better and I want to be better for you, you are just the right person I need in my life, please just think about it, I love you Tonia” he said.

Tonia’s heart at this point was beating faster like never before. She didn’t know what to say as she was numb. “Eric I can’t date you because I might not give you the kind of things you are used to” she said, “I can adjust Tonia, as far as I have you I’m ok” he said. “That’s what you would say now but complain later, please I have to go” she said as she walked away.

Eric stood there almost in tears and finally summoned up the strength to walk to his car. While in class, Tonia thought of Eric all through. “Should I give him a chance? I do like him” She thought to herself.

After class, Tonia’s lecturer informed her that she would help in marking some scripts in her office. She was there till evening and finally left around passed 6pm. On her way home, she thought of Eric and picked up her phone to call him. “Hi” she greeted, “hey Tonia” he replied in a low tone. “Are you ok” she asked, “yeah I’m fine, where are you?” He asked, “I’m just leaving school, I’m on my way home” she replied. “Can I come pick you up, I’m around school now” he said, “Ok sure” she replied.

She waited for him around the school gate and he was there in no time. There was silence in the car for a while then Eric broke it by asking how her day went. “I have been thinking about our earlier conversation” she said, “Tonia please let me into your life, I want you to change me to who you want me to be, I’m willing and ready to go down this road with you, you don’t know what you are doing to me” he said almost in tears.

After much thought, she agreed to give him a trial. “I like you too Eric and I want to give us a chance” she said. Eric’s joy knew no bound as he was so happy and couldn’t control it. He quickly drove to a nice restaurant and they ate, laughed and got to know each other better.

Eric loved Tonia and wasted no time flaunting her for the world to see. He stopped some bad habits and started going to church more often. For over 3 months, their relationship was going smoothly without any issue until one rainy night.

Tonia visited Eric and after cooking together, they ate and talked till evening. As Tonia was about leaving, the clouds opened and there was a heavy downpour of rain. Tonia had to stay back as she couldn’t go due to the rain. Eric joking said “We can still enter this rain and run to my car so I can drop you off”, “Nahh It’s Ok” she said.

Eric gave her his clothes to wear and they talked and laughed for a while before Eric reached out to cuddle her. As they cuddled, Tonia’s heart started beating 3× faster. “I love you Tonia, thanks for coming into my life” he said, “I love you too” she replied.

Eric kissed her on the forehead, then on her lips. This sent cold reactions all over Tonia’s body as she kissed him back. Eric was trying to be careful not to do too much but the atmosphere was already charged up. Eric reached for her neck and kissed it, then to her shoulders. Tonia died and woke up, as she has never felt this way before. She reached out for Eric’s forehead and kissed it as his lips were on her neck.

Gasping for breath Tonia held Eric’s head and looked into his eyes and said “I can’t do this”. Eric who was already in cloud 9 asked “why?”, Then she replied “I’m still a virgin!”.

🏪MY FIRST TIME🥺🏪

🥶EPISODE 2🥶

Eric couldn’t get his mind off Tonia as he thought of her all through the remaining hours of that day. They were so many questions seeking answers in Eric’s mind. He was lost in thoughts as he kept thinking of his earlier conversation with Tonia.

After a while, one of his friends noticed his sudden change in attitude and asked him what the problem was. “Guy what’s wrong with you lately” his friend asked, “I don’t know man, it’s just that girl from the other day that we rushed to the hospital” Eric replied. “What about her?” His friend continued, “I don’t know, I’m right here thinking about why I’m thinking about her” he replied. ” O boy! Are you sure you aren’t in love already, oga womaniser! You no dey take eye see woman” his friend said laughing, “She’s just different guy, I want to see her again” he said in low tone.

As their conversation continued, Eric pleaded with his friend to help investigate on everything concerning Tonia and get back to him. His friend wasted no time in providing vital information about her.

One fateful day, Tonia was on her way back from church when she sighted Eric in his car, parked opposite the fellowship building. She was surprised to see him. “Hi” she greeted, “how have you been?” He replied, “I have been good, it’s good to see you without a cigarette today” she said smiling, “shots fired” he said smiling too.

Eric asked if she would like to go on a dinner date with him but she turned down the offer. “I haven’t gone out on a date with any guy before and wouldn’t start now” she replied, “it’s just a date and it’s harmless” he said in a convincing tone.

After much persuasion, Tonia agreed to go on a date with him. Eric came to her apartment to pick her up after an hour and they went to a nice restaurant afterwards. “Are you sure this place isn’t too expensive” she asked, “no it’s fine, I’ve got this” he assured.

As they ate, Eric couldn’t stop staring at Tonia. He finally broke the silence by asking “Are you always this reserved and calm?”, “That’s my lifestyle so I guess Yes” she replied calmly. “Do you go to church often” she asked, “To be very honest with you, I can’t remember when last I went to church” he replied with his head bowed down. “I don’t think God loves me, I sure know I’m not one of his favourites” he continued. “Don’t say that, he loves us all and died for each and everyone of us because he loved us individually. He didn’t die for us because we were numerous, even if you were the only sinner on earth, he would have still died for you” she said.

As Tonia spoke, Eric’s eyes were just fixed on her in awe. “Where have she been all my life” he thought to himself. He couldn’t get her off his mind and he was smitten by her choice of words as she spoke.

After they were done eating, Eric drove her home and left afterwards. As he drove home, he couldn’t get Tonia off his mind as she was driving him crazy. “Could I be in love?” He asked himself but couldn’t get any answer yet.

The next day, Eric got a text message from Tonia, inviting him for a program in her church. Eric wasted no time in accepting her offer and started getting prepared to attend the program.

The day of the program came and Eric walked into the service when praise and worship was going on. Tonia was in the choir and Eric immediately sighted her singing, the sweet melody that proceeded from Tonia’s mouth sent cold reactions all over his body. He wasn’t concentrating in the worship going on as his attention was on Tonia.

After service, Eric waited for her at the parking lot so he could take her home. The sight of Tonia walking towards his car made him smile. “You were so great back there and nice voice by the way” he complimented, “awwwwn, that’s so nice of you” she replied blushing. “I’m waiting so I can drop you at your destination” he said, “Ok thanks, please just hold on let me go and get my bag” she replied as she rushed inside to get her bag.

Eric at this point was convinced that he was in love with Tonia. He totally lost interest in every other girl on campus as Tonia was the only one he thought of day and night. He was so scared to tell Tonia how he felt because he didn’t want her to start avoiding him. After much deliberation, he summoned up the courage to pour his heart out to her.

As Tonia returned, they both entered the car and left. As Eric was deliberating on how to tell Tonia how he felt, she asked “how do you feel now knowing that God loves you?”, Eric paused for a moment and said “I feel blessed”.

As he got to her destination, Tonia was about to open the door when he stopped her. “There’s something I want to tell you” he said, “Ok go ahead” she replied looking into his eyes. “I’m scared to say it because I don’t want to loose you” he continued, “you are already getting me scared with the way you’re acting” she replied.

Eric finally summoned the courage and said “Tonia I think I have fallen in love with you”.
