“My dear, your mother called." He said to his niece as she sat beside him. Akosua had gone to the village with Maakua on the weekend. Her uncle had sent for her because he had important news for her.“Na )se3 dien( What did she want)?" Akosua asked chewing groundnuts. “Hmm, the woman pursuing your husband is your own younger sister Eleanor." He said as she sat quietly for a while.“So the little brat has finally grown wings er? To drag my husband with me" She slyly smiled.“My dear, don't go and cause any ruckus, " Her uncle said knowing how she can react when she's angry.“I'm not going to cause any ruckus uncle, I just want to pay them a visit, nothing more or less." She smiled.“If you say so." Her uncle added. It wasn't as if he cared about what would happen to her but he was concerned about the wellbeing of his niece.“Ma, I'm back," Maakua added as she dropped her small basket in the kitchen. She went to the farm with her grandma, Akosua's aunt.“You welcome dear, how was the fa
“Nii, Kpa(Stop it)" Adwoa said as he splashed water on her. She had come to visit him in his house since he had nothing to do at home. She hadn't gotten any clients yet after her last one which was last week.“Erm... Daabi(No)." He stuck out his tongue.“Nii, lah." She said trying to get up as he held her waist preventing her from moving.“Adwoa lah." He mimicked. As her lips twitched. He pulled her inside the pool to join her for a swim.He had liked her way back in school but he didn't get the balls to ask her out but the couple of weeks they had spent together rekindled those old feelings. Aku was just a fling or, lust but not true love. He drew her closer to him as he kissed her waiting for her reaction. She pulled his head closer and kissed him more passionately. “Adwoa, would you be my girl?" He asked.“Finally, I will I've waited for this since school days." She blurted.“Excuse me say what?" He asked shocked.“Manka hwe ( I didn't say anything)." She said swimming away from h
“Esi is there any problem? Aha yi nso er ( What are you doing here)?" She asked her. She had gone out of her class to visit the loo and met her younger cousin with a couple of people.“Sister Akosua, there's no problem. I just came to escort my friend to meet her elder sister for a parcel." She explained. Esi was in her third year of university, she was currently studying Pharmacy at University of Ghana, Legon in the Greater Accra region of Ghana.“Okay, dear, " Akosua added as she called her to her class and gave her Gh¢500.00 for upkeep.“Thank you very much, Sister Akosua, my God will bless you for me," Esi added.“Amen dear, go well and study hard okay?" She advised.“I will, just for you p3." She teased her cousin waving her goodbye.“Have you finished with the work I gave you?" She asked her students.“Yes, Madam!" The kids shouted.“Okay, let's continue." She said.Abena's class had a substitute teacher since she was almost due in a few weeks. And Akosua was genuinely happy for
“Baafi, what at all made you leave Akosua behind, how can a woman who conceived a child for 9-months abandon the child because someone somewhere claimed she was evil." Her brother, Akoto scolded her. She had come to him to help her go and ask her daughter for forgiveness. Akoto, it's all Kwapong's fault. He's the cause of all this.“What did your late husband do, that your apportioning the blame to him?" Her brother angrily asked.“When the woman came to tell us Akosua was a witch, I didn't believe and I told him to forget about all these superstitious beliefs that my child wasn't a witch. At first, he sided with me and then he changed, always shouting at her for every little thing she did. I wasn't happy with how he treated her and always reprimanded him until one day he claimed he saw Akosua stabbing him with a knife in his dream. I told him that, sometimes our enemies appear in our dreams to try to harm us but with the faces of our loved ones. But he still insisted she was evil. We
As much as Eleanor is sweet in the middle, that woman is a spendthrift. She gets paid at the end of each month, so what does she do with her salary that she's always bugging me for money? Kwame thought to himself as he sat in his office.“Come in." He said as his secretary walked through the door. “You can drop the files on my desk." He said not looking up at her.“Okay, " She said as she left the files on the table and walked out.“Hey." Akosua walked into the ward with a basket of food. Maakua was feeling lazy to join her mother visit her aunt at the hospital.“Congrats," She said to her friend as she dropped the basket on the table. Her smile wasn't the usual one that lit up her eyes. As much as how she was happy for her friend, she was saddened by the fact that she lost her babies and her husband didn't care, he was rather running after her own blood sister. A stray tear trickled down her face as she wiped it. “I'm sorry, " She wiped her face as Abena hugged her.“I know it's har
“Ma, you're welcome," Eleanor said welcoming Kwame's mom into the house."Wo maame me wan? Aden aa Ma you're welcome (Who's your mother and you're welcoming me)?" The woman rudely said as she walked past her into the living room.“Ma, Akwaaba (Welcome)" Kwame said as he stood up to hug his mom and she moved back.“What is this one still doing here?" She asked getting straight to the point.“Ma, not this again, " Kwame said sitting down.“We will talk about this, you've sent your legally wedded wife out of your house with your daughter, she's not even her blood but she has taken her as her child and this is how you pay her back, for this slut?"His mother said.“With all due respect old woman, I wouldn't have you call me names," Eleanor spoke up.“Eh?" Both Kwame and his mother said.“Herh Eleanor are you high on cheap drugs, you dare insult, my mother?" Kwame angrily said.“But she insulted me first." She retorted.“You're still talking er, you've grown wings er, my friend get out of my
“Hi, is Kwame in?" Akosua asked his Secretary.“Yes please, he is." She responded as she let him inside. She was wearing a v-neck red body-hugging dress that stopped above her knees and paired it with black pencilled heels. The weight loss had made her gain her figure back.“Hey, um, er let me call you back." He dropped the call as he spotted his wife and daughter.“Mop3 den woha(What do you want here)?" He tried to sound intimidating.“If Mohammed won't go to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohammed, so, I brought your daughter to see you." She said as she crossed her legs sitting down.“Maakua, how are you?" He asked her. It's been months he last saw her and she was looking all grown up.“I'm not fine, I hate you!" She said turning to her stepmother.“Maakua, baby look at me," Akosua added.“I know it's hard when the one you love and care for abandons you, but hate will only make you suffer, you'd be harbouring all that hate in your heart while he lives his life as he is doin
“Maame, everything is not about sex and it's positions. You sure do know how to satisfy a man, you have a beautiful body, no doubt but your housekeeping skills suck, I always return to a dirty home, your meals taste horrible, this house hasn't been cleaned in days. This is my home, not a pigsty, you better up your game." Kwame said to Eleanor. “Look here, I'm not your house help oo, if you need your house to be clean, get a maid, not me. I can't come from work and come and slave myself all in the name of love, ensi da( It won't happen)." She said walking out on him. Me aaa, me p3, Akosua ny3 me hwe na ma pam no, ak)fa adesua yi ( Akosua hasn't wronged me in any way and I've gone in for this baggage). Kwame thought to himself. In a few minutes, Eleanor had changed into something more enticing and walked past Kwame to the door. “Wo k) hefa ( Where are you going to)?" He asked her. “To have fun, you can stay in your home and clean it, I'm out, " She said as she went out of the house
“ Ms Eleanor Quansah is sentenced to life imprisonment for planning the attempted murder of Mrs Akosua Boateng and also almost defrauding a Mr Kwame Boateng by selling his house without his concern. I rest my case." The judge hit his gavel declaring his judgement. Eleanor was being pushed out of the courtroom as the paparazzi took pictures of her and asked her questions.“What are your last words?" One of them asked.My mother, money and greed killed me. For the young ones out there be careful about what you wish for, it might be the death of you." Eleanor said as the walked out.Todd was helpless as the police dragged him to the police station. He was too cautious about being caught that he didn't realise when the police located him. It was a dead-end for him.Oh if I could turn back the hands of time.He lamented.The police took him in their jet as they flew him back to Ghana. When they reached the Kotoka internat
“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." He said and walked off. She shrugged him off and continued with her shopping with no care in the world.“Kwesi, nansa niɛ aa wo piɛ afeɛ na wo ba (Kwesi, it's been three days you left and you're now coming)?"Aku asked as he walked into the house.“Madam Slay queen, do you think I would stay with you, having sex with you isn't interesting m
~ 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. She was glad she was getting her home back.“Maakua, I'm taking your Mom to the hospital so do take care of the house," Kwame instructed.&
“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. They had gotten more money than they used to get before and they were excited. “The club isn't the best place to find a lover So the bar is where I goMe and my friends at the table doing shotsDrinking fast and then we talk slowCome over and start up a conversation with just meAnd trust me I'll give it a chance nowTake my hand, stop, p
“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. The caption read, " Eleanor Quansah is a gold digger" It further said: Eleanor found her way into Tullow Oil not to work but have an agenda of her own. She had an agenda before applying for a position at Tullow Oil, you want to know what her agenda was? Well, she had planned to seduce t
“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." Aidan told her. “I know Aidah, but be careful," Kissiwaa advised as she continued with her meal. “But Aidah, wanka ankyere me nea asiii wo ne Kent ntamu aa mogyae mepenna twe no ( You never told me what happened between you and Kent that led to your breakup)," Kissiwaa said. “Kissiwaa, asem wei na wɔ bɛ bɔ so no( Kissiwaa, is this what you want to talk about)?" Aidah asked her. “Yes, I want to know." She firmly added. “What really happened was that... Kent and I met long before we st
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?" She ask
