"This your daughter is just here rotting away, see her big boobs, boys in the area will start using it to play ludo"
Aunty Oluchi said.. She had come to the village for the Christmas Holidays as it was the Family's tradition,Not that she loved it, but her husband insisted.
"what would you have me do Oluchi. There's no money anywhere.i can't train this child to the level i want to. Adora is a brilliant girl, but im afraid the primary school she attends here is all i can afford for now" amara said as she helped herself with some "abächã"(igbo salad)..
Aunty Oluchi arrived Lagos with Adora after making huge promises to her mother to take care of her and send her to the best school as she was fully equipped financially to foot her bills. Adora on the other hand was so excited but at thesame time she was scared.
She had seen Aunty Oluchi anger before, and on that particular day, she actually hit the boy's head with a spanner, if not for the timely intervention of the village doctor the story would have been different.
"Mummy, my room is unkempt oh, and i don't have clothes to wear today. Adora hasn't washed any of them"
A spoilt Ify said..
Aunty Oluchi ran into the room with rage and met Adora sleeping on top of her books.she hasn't slept well in two days and had exams to prepare for but never had the time to read no thanks to Aunty Oluchi's maltreatment.. She beat her up mercilessly and asked her to go Clean ify's room and later make lunch for chidi.
Her nights were also creepy as Uncle Ebere molested her and threatened her not to mention it to anybody, at age 15 she'd gone through terrible things.
"If i hear you say anything to anybody about your uncle sleeping with you i will kill you. Who asked you to grow such breast at such a tender age, i am sure you are the one seducing my husband "Aunty Oluchi said as she battered her face with slaps and punches...
AMara arrived Lagos to see her daughter(Adora) beautifully dressed and eating with the family on the dining table, something that has never happened before.She was so happy that her sister was actually taking care of her daughter. She was so happy that she didn't notice the cuts close to eyes, oh bly me, they were covered with Makeups...
Adora couldn't fight her uncle anymore when he came to sleep with her, deep down she was tired, she had given up on live and was barely existing...
When Aunty Oluchi heard the noise from her room,she ran towards the room and her children followeed suit only be welcomed by a pool of a blood.. Adora had stabbed her uncle 24x,cut off his manhood and held it her hands...
There is no excuse to kill somebody..
But everybody has a story..
Every action must have been triggered by something!!
