Akosua lay in bed feeling weak and dizzy. Her best friend had gotten married the previous day.Maybe it's exhaustion from the wedding party. She said to herself. Maakua had gone over to her grandma's place since some of her cousin's had come over for a couple of weeks before school reopened.She tried getting up as the dizziness got worse.

Akosua's bump was visible as she was in her third month of pregnancy.

“Hey girls, I believe you know why you're here?" Serwaa asked as she sat with Aku sipping white wine.“Yes, we do." One of the girls answered.“Good, so there's a party coming up at Twist Night Club, that cool club around Labone. You girls ought to dress sexy, when I mean sexy, I mean sexy. Yaa and Maabena would be taking you out for shopping and a change of wardrobe. We are storming there live and coloured." Serwaa said as the girls cheered for them. Aku handed Yaa a large ward of money to take care of the clothing and transport fare.“Abena, I'm not arguing over this with you, you are my wife and you need a car to take you places. Always ordering an uber is a waste of money. That's why I go you one, " Kamdyn said descending the staircase.“Okay, Alright thanks for the car and I'm sorry for being obnoxious." She reasoned.“You welcome )d)(love)." He smiled at her.“Have a nice day at

“I've been meaning to ask you, what made you become a slay queen instead of venturing into any business,” Leo asked his wife as they sat under the summer but in their garden.“It's a long story, brace yourself." She sighed as she began with the story of her life.My parents gave birth to the two of us only, that's myself and my kid sister. Life was all colourful and rosy, until one day my dad brought in a new woman because he claimed he needed a son to succeed him when he passes on. My mom was broken but she was strong for both of us. My stepmother was a good woman, no doubt. She respected my mom and liked my sister and me, she held no grudge with us. We lived peacefully as one big family, she gave birth to a set of twins, both boys and that's where things started going south. My dad changed into someone we barely knew, he always treated my mother and us badly, his wife, that is my stepmother was always against his ill-treatment. Anytime he refuses to give us food to eat, she used to

Akosua was in her seventh month of pregnancy and Kwame had begun acting funny. He normally returned home late or drunk and he always had one flimsy excuse or another. He had changed, he didn't treat her the same way he used to treat her before and he didn't spend quality time with his girls, Akosua and Maakua.“Are you okay Akosua?" Abena tapped her friend on the shoulder as she entered the classroom.“Hmm, no Abena I'm not." She honestly said.“What's the problem?" She asked her friend.“Its Kwame oo, Abena, mennim nea 3k)so oo, Kwame Boateng asesa( I don't know what's going on, Kwame has changed)." She told her friend.“Calm down dear, maybe it's due to work stress."

She added.“Take it easy, it may not be what yo

“Akosua, where are you and Maakua, I'm home and no one is around. I called Ma, but she isn't answering. Kamdyn and Kwabena won't tell me where you girls are. Where is my daughter?"

We've been at 37 military hospital for a week, I've been calling your phone it's either switched off or no answer. Maakua is sick, you can come to see her when you like, tchew."

Maakua came out of her room looking for her stepmom. She had wanted to show her something she was watching on her tablet.“Ma, come and see--" She stopped midway as she found her mom lying on the floor with blood oozing from her legs.“Ma!" She shook Akosua but to no avail.“Auntie Adwoa, mom is not walking up!" Maakua called as Adwoa turned off the stove and hurried to the parlour.“Maakua, get me her car keys now!" Adwoa panicked as she called the security man to help her put Akosua in the car.“Maakua!"Adwoa called again as the girl brought her the keys and locked the house joining them in the car as they drove to the hospital, as soon as they got to Ridge hospital, the nurses rushed her into the theatre.“Call your dad," Adwoa whispered as Maakua called him. It rang for a while and he still wasn't answering. She tried for a couple of times before he finally picked out of breath.&ldq

“Auntie," Akosua called to the woman who raised her. “Aw, me ba(My child), it shall be well, take heart." The elder woman said sitting beside her.“I hope so, I really do." She said as her aunt wiped her eyes.“Where's your husband?" Her uncle asked entering with a basket of food.“I dunno, " She stated.“Is everything alright between you two?" He asked again.“He changed." She said as Maakua entered the ward with her grandmother.“My in-laws, you're welcome." The woman greeted.“Thank you." Her aunt said.“Ma, I brought your favourite ice cream, grandma says it would help you feel better." She handed it to her as she pulled her towards her and hugged her tightly.“Thanks, Sweetheart," Akosua added.Kwame had made his cheating evident to his wife. He no longer treated her right and always came back with lipstick stains on his shirt or half-used condoms in his pocket.She no longer was happy in her home. She found solace in the little girl and her work.“Eleanor, do you know the man yo

“Young woman, the man you married is the cause of your childlessness, you have t o seek God's intervention before it's too late." A young pastor said to Serwaa. She had parked her car in front of a supermarket and was getting stuff for her baby.“Ɛii, asɔfofoɔ aa moaba,sɛi aa na afɛ no aso, kyerɛsɛ wahu sɛ me wɔ sika nti no, me kunu yɛ sika adro, fi maniso kɔ ee (Prophets of doom, you've seen I'm a rich woman and so you're claiming my husband does money rituals, leave my sight)."She said to him.“Woman had I known is always at last."

~ A few months later~Akosua rushed to the bathroom to puke her guts out. She had been feeling a little sick for a couple of days now.“Ma, ɛden na,ɛye wo(Mom, what's wrong with you)?" Maakua asked.“I don't feel too well." She told the girl as Kwame came from the kitchen.“What is it?" He asked spotting his wife's pale face.“I don't feel too good." She admitted.“We need to go see a doctor," Kwame said.“But you have to go to the house today, today's the day that evil woman leaves once and for all." She determined.“Don't worry dear, I've made Kwabena pose as the buyer, I would join him after we get back," Kwame added.“Alright love." She smiled at him.

“Morning ɔdɔ(Morning love)" Kwame greeted Akosua who lay beside him peacefully. He had spent the night with her when he came visiting the previous day. They were sneaking around like two teenagers in love. “Hey, how was your night?" She lay smiling at her. “It was wonderful, I enjoyed you." He added moving close to kiss her as she moved her head. “Morning breathe." She added as she walked towards the bathroom to brush her teeth. It read 4:30 am. He had to prepare for work and drop Maakua at school. Even though she was well, the school had given her a two week grace period before she resumed. Akosua came out of the bathroom and headed to Maakua's room. She would sleep the whole day if she didn't wake her up. “Maakua" Akosua called knocking on the door as she opened it. She had just emerged from the shower when she heard her mother's knock on the door. “Good morning, darling you don't look good." She said to her. “I think I've started my menses, I saw blood in my underwear when I

“What is happening with my kids at all? Why did Todd decide to move to the Northern region all of a sudden? I know my son, there's something he's not talking about. And Eleanor too, what is she up to now that her name is almost everywhere?" Baafi asked herself sitting on her couch. Father, come to our aid. She silently prayed. Serwaa had finally given birth to her baby, that's what most people thought. They had finally adopted the one-week-old baby after a week of her fake delivery. Her mother had come to stay with them and was taking care of the baby girl, surprisingly, she looked like Leo. Yaa and Maabena turned the music on a little louder.

“Hey," Kwame said as Akosua opened the door for him. “Hi, good morning" She responded ushering him inside. “Da!" Maakua called as she hugged her dad. It was a Saturday morning and he decided to come to check on them after his morning run. “Sweety, ɛtɛsen( How are you)?" He asked his daughter. Akosua was still sleepy so she retired back to bed leaving her husband and daughter to bond. “I'm fine Daddy." She answered. “Hey, let's do something for mom, she seems tired," Kwame suggested. “She stressed herself too much yesterday, that's why," Maakua confessed. Kwame and Maakua entered the kitchen to prepare food for Akosua. Eleanor checked the news headlines and once again she was on the front page.

“Aidah, are you sure you know him that well to fall for him. For Christ sakes, you met him three days ago and you're already professing love? What if he's a criminal in disguise or has done something terrible and is on the run?" Kisiwaa, her best friend asked. “Kisiwaa, he's not a criminal, he's a sweet charming young man and isn't like any of my exes. I'm a successful 28year old woman. I'm rich, I have my own apartment here and houses in other regions, all I need is a man to share all of this with."

Akosua was being discharged from the hospital that day. Kwame was coming to take her to her house. He had told her his plans of getting rid of Eleanor, and until she was out of his house she had to stay with Maakua at her house and he promised to come see them every other day. “Da, I hope you stick to your promise, no browning(disappointment)," Maakua added as he initiated a curve. “I would stick to my promise dear, no fake promises, I've come to my senses." He told her. “It's good you did." She said earning a knock from her mother. “Ajeei(Ouch) Ma," She whined. “Fiii, fiii, is that how to talk to your father?" She asked. “Da I'm sorry." She pouted. “Its fine dear." He chuckled, forcing himself not to laugh. “Thanks for dropping us home and thanks for everything," Akosua said. “No need to thank me, I'm trying to make things right. I've regretted everything I did. I hope you find it deep within to forgive me." He pleaded. “Its fine Kwame, I've forgiven you already." She smile

“Ah, Eleanor why have you scattered my house like that? Do I owe you? Are any of your belongings here? Ha, what sort of life is that you better be very very careful. Be careful so you don't incur my anger or else you wouldn't like it." He fumed walking into the bedroom. He had come home to pick a few things and net his house in that state. He opened his safe and took all his important documents including that of the house and left a fake copy of the house documents in his drawer.Unknowingly to her, Nelson was Kwame's informant. He told him every move that Eleanor had taken. But he decided to play along, waiting to catch her redhanded.“Kwame I was trying to clean the house, nothing more or less, by the way, where are you going to?" She asked.“I have a conference and the venue is quite far from home so I'm stating at Kwabena's place until it's over. I'd see you in the office tomorrow." He said.“But you have a conference?"
