Shawn realised Heena would stop by Leah's house first on her way to the office, so he sent a text to Leah ahead of Heena's arrival to inform her about the slap she got from their mother earlier.Leah felt terrible for Heena, she wished she could wind the hand of time, she has been staying at the entrance for Heena.A few minutes later, Heena pressed the button, and immediately Leah freed the door, the mark on Heena's face was too obvious. "Only heaven knows for long she has been crying on her way here?" Leah wondered inwardly as she walked Heena to her room."What happened to your face?" Leah asked as she can't keep to herself any longer."It's nothing. Hmmm, I guess something entered my eyes," Heena lied."Oh really, the stuff must be huge to have left a mark on your face," Leah said sarcastically."Help me with some of your makeup, let me apply. I'm getting late to work," Heena said to stop Leah asking further questions.Leah grabs the box of makeup, helping Heena to apply it on her

"Shawn, you don't have to be rude to Mom, you know…." Shawn could not let her land safely with her words before he snatched it from her mouth."Does she have to treat you like garbage often to thrill Avie?" Shawn asked angrily. There was silence between the duo for some seconds before Shawn took it upon himself to halt the silence."Sis! I can endure all things, but the thought of mom bringing in a total stranger and expecting us to treat him like our dad drives me nuts." This time there was a little calmness in his voice."I understand how you feel, trust me I feel more awful than you." She put in her opinion."Take a look at what happened in there, Dad would have defended you and not encouraged Mom to slap you. What did the strange man do? Adding fuel to an already burning fire. He's so desperate for Mom's attention," Shawn let out.Well, the reverse is the case, it was Trisi that loves attention so much, and Mr. Pindra was only dancing to her melodies."Shawn, about dad, let's disc

After spending about two hours on the phone talking with her business associate, Daryl turned to see Heena with her fragile personality snoozing at the edge of a family-size well-furnished bed. She grinned inwardly."This girl is so amazing!" Daryl exclaimed before pushing Heena into the middle of the bed so she can sleep soundly, she then wrapped her with a blanket. She thought of taking pictures of Heena's sleeping posture so she could taunt her later but her phone battery percentage is low, so she couldn't have her picture.After she has carefully made Heena sleep comfortably, she then plugged her phone into one of the available charging ports in the hotel room, then took her bath, and joined Heena on the bed to also yield her body to nature's call.Daryl is the only daughter of a business mugu in a country miles away from Swala. Although both parents are from Swala country, they left the city to further their Western education at one of the most recognized universities in the worl

Heena's head was split into a million pieces, thousands of questions roamed and disturbed her already troubled soul. Disturbing questions lurked freely in her head making themselves comfortable as they are there to stay, ever since her father has been locked up in jail there has been no peace at all, both in her home and head.Oh, she was so lost in thought she didn't notice a car headed right towards her, the piercing sounds of tires against the road were ear-splitting. Turns out a lady was the one driving the car, she got down from the car to find a rather dishevelled girl looking at her.It took Heena some minutes to tell herself that she doesn't know the person standing before her."Uhm, are you okay?". The young lady in front of her asked."I think so," Heena muttered and tried to stand but fell immediately."Wait, let me help you up", she offered to help."Thanks". Heena said.The young lady helped Heena to her car."I don't know what you're going through but I can't just leave

As Heena thrust the door open, she began to hear noise coming out of their house. What could the noise be all about? she wondered?.Immediately she arrived in the living room, she saw Shawn fuming in irritation, she knew she heard him say "That can never be possible," before he slammed the door and went out of her sight.Avie is the worst person to talk to at this moment, though she looked weary but she fixed her attention on her phone to get away from having eye contact with Heena."Shawn, wait! Where are you going? Heena cried out."No need to follow him, he will be fine," Trisi said casually. It is easy to guess that their mother is the flesh behind the noise. "Dad hasn't spent a day in Prison. Can we behave ourselves and let peace reign?" Heena cried out.Heena noticed there was a movement in the bathroom. She thought that they are not more than this, could it be that her dad is back? On second thought she remembered that there was no way that their dad would use Shawn's bathroom.

Ro'Sau gripped Heena by her, baby girl gives attention carefully to what I am about to say, Ro'Sau whispered, while Heena nods her head in response."What did you think this place is called?" He asked Heena.Heena raised her brow to have a look at her dad. She wanted to be sure if truly the man standing with her is her dad. His question deserves to be questioned."Don't look at me like that, Princess. Just tell Daddy what your answer is," Ro'Sau let out funnily."Even a blind man knows that everything about this building is Prison," she reacted."You are wrong dear," Ro'Sau said Heena came to be disturbed. The inscription outside says Prison. How come her daddy is saying otherwise. Heena possessed the facial expression of explain yourself to me, because I am lost."Dear here is not a prison, but a school to learn more about life," Ro'Sau let out, though his mind was heavy. He never saw it coming even in his dream that one day his wall would crack down overnight. The worst of all, he

Mr. Seye could not reckon that his wife harbored such impressions about him, he couldn't blame her much because he also had such a judgment against Mr. Peter. It is typical for anyone to worry in such a manner as Tonia for the past three months had no records of receiving any visitors.Mrs. Bolu regretted her actions, she was human so she must act that way. Tonia has what she the legal wife does not have. She was determined to ask for Tonia's forgiveness and apologize to her husband for her rude behaviour towards him earlier.Mr. Seye entered the room, and pretended like he didn't hear any of the arguments between the ladies, he gently went to bed because the wife acted like she was sleeping. She didn't know how to face her husband though, she thought her husband did not hear her earlier, but she felt miserable within.Maybe because families have begun to ask her the 'WHY' question as if she can produce a baby by herself. They seem to have forgotten that her marriage is only thirty-s

A week after Tonia moved into her new apartment, she started trading. She made a kiosk outside where she displayed her goods and there was a good turnover.She has helped her mother out managing the store countless times, she knew how to grow a business from scratch because her mother taught her the principle that connects buying and selling of goods before she slept in glory.Slowly and steadily her business began to grow, most people in the neighbourhood preferred to patronise her because of how fresh most of her goods are, and also she sells at an affordable price, she's not part of those that hike up the price of the stock. Though, she buys in small quantities.Her co-tenants were happy to have her watching over the house while they were away. They love how hardworking she is and also how cheerful and vibrant she has in no time turned the compound.Tonia stayed two months without contacting Mama, she went to the market, as usual, to buy what she will sell. She felt it would be al

Mama Agnes' final phrase struck Tonia's spirit if only Mama Agnes knew she wouldn't be returning anytime soon. She assumed she heard Mama's voice calling out to her, so she intensified her walk. She was lucky at the bus stop, the cab needed just one more passenger to occupy the last seat. She kept her load inside the boot and filled the leftover spot. It's common for drivers to tell their passengers to enter with change, to avoid fighting on the road. Though the driver forgot to inform her, she had the exact amount to pay without wasting each other's time at the bus stop.She left the house when the cloud still had a shade of darkness in it. By the time she arrived at her destination, the sun had shone brightly all over the space. She got to the new apartment, there were four tenants in number and occupied room two.She knew Mama would have seen the letter, she wanted to hear her voice before she pulled the sim into the phone. She was scared of reaching her, she felt she left too soon

She moved a few of her things to mama's room and the ones that are too heavy for her to move to her new place, she sold at a giveaway price. The other tenants were surprised by her actions, they comprehend she needs money to keep up.Four days later she got another apartment but she was yet to move into it. She thought of hanging around with mama for a few more days, she wanted to buy airtime outside, as she stepped out, she saw a familiar car coming from afar, she ran to the house, hid in the bathroom, and told Simon to lied to anyone that may come to look for her that she's not around.Behold, Jack came a minute later she had instructed Simon. "Hello, there!" Jack greeted people he met outside. The woman selling petty stuff, and a customer were standing outside, while Becky was in her room following through the window."Hello sir, what did you want to buy?" as a business woman she asked. Before Jack would say a thing, Becky hurried out of her room."Mama Agnes, not everybody is a

Mama thought for a while before giving a response to Tonia's question. "You don't necessarily need to travel down to the south, Abuja is large enough for you to hide without anyone knowing." Mama never wanted Tonia to be too far from her side, she wanted her within the suburb of Abuja."Mama, you know I seldom go out. Where in Abuja did you think is safe for me?" She asked the old lady."Well, we have places like Bwari, Gudu, Kuje, Maraba, and Gwagwalada. My dear houses in this area are affordable and the cost of living is not high." Mama gave her a list to choose from."Mama, thanks for your guidance. I will sleep over the list and pick the one my mind aligns with," Tonia let out."If you have discomfort sleeping here alone, you are free to poke in my room till when you will be leaving. Don't worry I will visit you every now and then." Mama said and returned to her room.Tonia was alone in her room, thinking of the best place to hide from the list. She decided to try Gwagwalada out.

Tonia bolted the door from behind instantly as she succeeded in sending Simon away. She sat on the floor beside her plate of Amala. She was hungry but she chose to open the envelope first. She screamed out of fear and lost her appetite after she read the letter."Tonia! It's not a mistake that I nicknamed you a stubborn cat, I will advise you not to prove stubborn with me."Don't you ever think that you can run away from me forever. I know your house and I can track you down any day if you attempt to play smart with me."I gave you a reasonable amount to flush out whatever that you said is growing in your belly, don't you dare think to pin me down with it, you've got the wrong person."I'd search for you and kill you with my hands, the day you think of creating any scandal for me. Like literally choke you to death."I will make earth unbearable for you and hell will also reject you. Maybe I am wrong and you are a nice person, but probably not. Watch your steps!!!"This was the letter
