<< Auntie Sophie why? Why are you doing this to your own niece? You so easily forget all that my mother has done for you, and your children? she put your children through school, she took such good care of them as if she was the one who brought them into the world, and look how you thank her, you....
pfffffffffffff she puts a hot slap on her face that makes her fall in one go!
<< IDIOT!!! THE NEXT TIME YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT YOU'LL BE ON THE STREET!
WHERE ARE WE NOW? I'LL TAKE YOU IN, I'LL PUT YOU UP OUT OF PITY AND YOU DARE TO SAY THAT TO ME? I DON'T CARE IF THIS HOUSE BELONGS TO YOUR FATHER OR EVEN TO YOUR ANCESTORS, BUT THEY ARE DEAD NOW, YOU UNDERSTAND? M.O.R.T! SO I'M THE MISTRESS OF THE HOUSE AND DON'T FORGET THAT YOU'RE JUST A SERVANT IN THIS HOUSE OK? NOW GO MAKE DINNER AND GET IT DONE!!!
she goes away leaving her on the ground in tears, her hand on her cheek! The marks of her slap on her cheek!
She got up with a thousand difficulties, picked up her three clothes and she left in the kitchen !!!
This was the beginning of the ordeal that lasted almost 7 years!
yes 7 good years of pure suffering and abuse !
She could not continue her studies but nevertheless she knew how to read and write which was already a step !
she had practically become the servant of the house! everyone ordered her around! everyone could give her orders and she couldn't say anything at the risk of finding herself on the street with nothing!
even if she sometimes defended herself, but the punishment was very severe!
Her aunt did not allow her to do any activity that would allow her to find some money, and if by misfortune she found some money in her bag even if it was only 10 naira, she beat her without mercy by calling her a thieving witch!
The children of the aunt (Amaka and Stephanie) studied normally and lived a life of true princes in the village while Tanya lived a life of suffering! and all this thanks to their father who managed to appropriate all the property of the father of Tanya, and who managed them
One day while she had just finished the evening dishes her aunt called her
<< UDJU???? >>
<< AUNTIE???>>
she used to call her only by her name, and never by her first name
She ran quickly to the living room to answer her aunt's call! She found her in front of the TV sipping a juice!
<< Auntie (lowering a knee)>>
<>
<>
<< tomorrow we are going to have visitors here!!! i bought the food it's in the kitchen and you will have to prepare everything as you know!!!
so make sure everything is perfect, I don't want any mistakes or else... um you know yourself!!>>
She felt so tired because of all the work she had to do during the day! but as she couldn't contradict her aunt's orders she just said:
<>
<< okay, you can go.
she returned to the kitchen, and went straight to work!
Her uncle usually was never around!!! because he was too busy with work!!!
It was so strange that he could get off so easily after what he had done but hey, don't they say karma exists!
she was in the middle of her work when she felt a hand around her waist!! on the spot she was startled and turned around to meet the eyes of amaka her cousin who was looking at her with a perverse smile!!
<< beauty are you ok?>>
<< amaka!! what are you doing here?>>
<< This is my father's house, remember?
<< yes that's right! anyway>>
she refocused on her work and didn't look at him anymore when he approached her again and tried to caress her, which made her directly angry and she pushed him away
<< no but that's not right? you want to do that to me? you even know me? eh ah!! only dare you to see, I'll make you impotent!!! >>
<< what?? you dare to insult me? >>
<< I'm not insulting you but if you want to become impotent dare to try to do what you have in mind right now, idiot go!!>>
he was so red with anger that he wanted to raise his hand on her when he heard his aunt's voice coming from the living room
<< amaka? are you okay there? you've been hanging around>>
<< uh uh yes mom I'm coming
then he looks at her, and points at her>>
<< I'm not done with you! >>'
he goes out and at the same time his sister Stephanie enters dressed vulgarly
<< bring me up a glass of juice in my room right now!!!
<< you have two hands as far as I know!!>>
<< Excuse me ????? repeat a little what you just said!" she said coming dangerously close to her
<< I'll take it to you later! >>
<< it's better for you silly room!!!>>
She then goes back up to her room all proud and haughty!!!
she knew that if she said anything to him she would go and accuse his aunt and she would be the one to empathize
after having given her her juice
She goes about her business almost all night long !
there were so many things to do
she fell asleep at about 2 o'clock all tired, and already at 5 o'clock she was up to finish everything!
During all the day she was in the oven and in the mill not even knowing who would come!
It was only around 4pm that she finished and her aunt took her to the bathroom to take a nice bath, then she fixed her long hair and put it in a bun
she was intrigued, she didn't understand why all this sudden attention but she preferred to let her do it !
when she was done she said to her:
<< hold on tight Odju, behave yourself! you understand>>
<< yes>>
<< well >>
at the same time her husband entered:
<< let's go they are already here!
so they all come down together!
and when they arrived at the living room Tanya's eyes met those of the visitors there were just two old men!! who could be 70 years old and more!
the aunt spoke up
<< chief there she is!!! My daughter is going to sit you next to your husband!!! >>
the shock!!!! she thought she heard wrong!!!
<< sorry n '??? my who????>>
the aunt gave her a more than black look!!!
<< you are beautiful as I like them, come close to me my darling!!>>
<< eh eh eh eh stop it right now!!! so if I understand correctly you the old man here you want to marry me?! eh ah!!!! auntie how can you be mean like that! Ah!
Can you do that to your niece?
look at yourself how disgusting they are!! certainly they have money in this village but look at them!! you can let Stephanie marry an old man like that?
she spoke under the shocked looks of all!
~~~on the other side, LAGOS~~~
we see a young man, a little muscular, with a chocolate complexion, with a beauty to make fall! which leaves a villa and goes to his company in a car of mark!
When he arrives at his company (a large building that gives vertigo just by looking at it) he enters followed by his two bodyguards in charge of accompanying him to his office which is also his "personal space" where only his guards, his assistant, and his relatives could enter
everyone greets him, and he answers them just by raising his hand
he goes up to his office (which by the way, smells like luxury) as soon as he is seated he calls out
<< in my office right now!
without giving him time to answer he hangs up >>.
