“Hey," She said as she joined Kwesi in the parlour. “What's up?" He said smiling at his beautiful girlfriend. “Na me dwene biribi ho, me p3 s3 wogyae slay queen runs no( I was thinking and I want you to stop this slay queen stuff)." He told her. Aku sat for a while thinking, if she stopped her business, then what else would she be doing. She couldn't sit idle and depend on a man.“If I stop, what would I be doing, I don't want to depend solely on you, I want to do something on my own and earn my own money." She said to him.“Don't worry, mahyehye bibiara p3p33p3 ( I've put everything in place)" He told her.“How so?" Aku asked as her curiosity had reached its peak. Kwesi's house was at Devtraco Estates, around Tema Community 25 in the Greater Accra region of Ghana.“I have a boutique around community 5, and a salesgirl who runs it. I could give the shop to you and you can decide to retain the girl or not, but it would be best you did because she has a handled the boutique for long."
Akosua sobbed as she drove her car home that night. How could he invite her over to the house only to meet him having sex with Eleanor?I thought things were looking good on our side?I thought he had changed his mind about her?I thought wrong! Akosua fought within. She was broken. That night she was about going to see him at home she felt excited like a teenager who was going on her first date. But all that crumbled when she heard Kwame moaning out Eleanor's name.She thought she was hearing wrong but when she opened the door her heart shattered again into a billion pieces.How heartless could he be! Eleanor's acquaintance stepped on the break driving at top speed. She was sad for her but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.Akosua switched to a safer lane when she saw a car coming at top speed. And the car moved unto that lane.Ah, dieben driving nie ( What kind of driving is that)?" She questioned as she switched lanes again but the car didn't follow. She thought she had los
“... And the winners of this year's competition is Lincoln Community School! Congratulations guys, you were amazing." The MC announced as Maakua and other representatives mounted the stage for the trophy.“I, first of all, want to thank God for bringing us this far. It hasn't been an easy journey but we made it. Secondly, I want to thank my stepmom, I wish she was here but she's in a coma so she couldn't make it." Maakua dryly laughed.“Then I also want to thank the most amazing coach, the coach with swag, and my auntie Abena, I love you so much, God bless you for me. In all, we say thank you to your day one supporters you all are the best."Maakua said as they all descended the stage.After the pictures and everything, Maakua, Abena and the other contestants went out to eat and then headed off to the beach.Uncle Akoto stood looking at his niece who lay on the bed looking like a vegetable. It had been two weeks and still, she was the same, no movement, no response, no nothing.He took
Todd was admitted in that small hospital out of town, he was safe because no one knew who he was or what he had done. He closed his eyes to sleep as the accident he had with the pregnant woman flashed before his eyes.“He arrived at the club with his friends and their girlfriends. He has one who never wanted commitment, just have fun and dump them. That was the motto for his chronic womanizing ways. He wasn't at fault in any way, he was always pampered because he was the last child of his parents, any time he did something wrong, he wasn't scolded. Just the normal, don't do that again, it's not good. Then he was free to go. He always got what he wanted, if he didn't, he was going to take it by force. That's how he grew up. They were regular customers at Plot 7 nightclub at Nyaniba estate, Labone, in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Todd and his squad entered and as usual ordered whole lotta booze and meat, while some of them went dancing. Todd, as usual, looked through the crowd for
Akosua was responding to treatment. She could move her toes and fingers even though she wasn't awake. The doctor assured that there was a great chance she could make it out of the coma since she was responsive. Kwame spent most of his time at the hospital with his wife. When he was at work, his mother took care of her. Eleanor had tried countless times to enter the hospital to kill her but her attempts proved futile. She tried all she could but to no avail. Worse of all, Kwame was ignoring her, though they lived in the same house, he hardly ate her food or touched her.He believed she was the cause of his wife's predicament. Which she was.Lord, it's almost three weeks. Prove your power. Don't let your daughter die losing this battle. Show yourself approved. Kwame's mother prayed.A loud sneeze startled the old woman as she turned to face Amosua. She tried opening her eyes at first, then tried again as they opened and she scanned her surro
“This is beautiful." Serwaa gushed over Aku's ring.“Thank you Serwaa, is your tummy bloated or it's what I'm thinking?" She asked.“I'm not bloated and I don't know what you're thinking either." She played dumb.“Wo nyem anaa (Are you pregnant)?"She voiced out her thoughts.“Yes, I'm two months gone." She boasted. Leo and herself had done the legal and necessary arrangements for the adoption of the one-week-old baby.“Congratulations!" She said genuinely happy for her friend.“Thank you, dear, so any preparations for the wedding?" She asked Aku.“Nope, I studied event planning in school, so I can do that myself." She smirked.“That's good, it would save a whole lotta cost.". Serwaa said.Since both of them had retired from the slaying business, Yaa and Maabena were the ones in charge.“Its time I build my family just as you're doing.
“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
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
“ 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
