I heard Aunty Lydia shout my name in anger.
The surprise made me jerk and abruptly stopped my washing."What could be the problem now?"I asked myself as i cleaned my hands on the wrapper I tied on my waist.While I was yet to fathom what I did,I heard footsteps approaching me angrily. I immediately stood up to meet the menacing gaze of Aunty Lydia.Anger was burning in her eyes for me.I felt my legs shake beneath me. My heart already started thumping."Aunty...."I began but she immediately slapped me.I held on to my cheek, my eyes were already wettery. I hated whenever I broke down crying before her.She delighted in seeing cry."I won't cry this time"I won't give her the chance to watch me cry.I immediately cleaned my tears. I could feel her burning gaze on me.Related chapters

AMARACHI "These clothes are too much o"i murmured to myself as i ran my fingers through my thick afro hair."Amara dont worry I'll help you sew that one"Eberechi, one of the part time workers who worked under aunty Lydia offered to help me.I shook my head at her proposal. If aunty Lydia knew she was the one who sew the cloth, i would get into trouble and I didn't want her to make any mistakes on the dress pattern.It will be better i did the cloth myself. "No Eberechi. Thank you still. Just focus on yours ok. I'll do it myself"i said. She stared at me for some seconds and shrugged her shoulders, before turning to face her work.Every body minded their work as we worked in absolute silence.I loved the serene atmosphere."If only it would last like this" i thought to myself. I glanced at the wall clock, it was 1pm and aunty lydia wasn't still

AMARACHI What is going on in my life?I wept without restraint as i buried my face in my hands.I shook uncontrollably.I felt Nonso's hand on my back,trying to calm me down."Amara..."he began but i cut him short immediately."Amara what?why are all these happening to me? Am i that bad of a person?"I lamented trying to control my tears.He stood silent for some seconds before pulling me into a deep embrace."You aren't a bad person Amara. You just have bad people around you"he whispered in my ear.I pulled out and cleaned my tears.He raised my face just enough for me to face his."I am with you Amara"I nodded my head and picked up my polythene bag."Let me take you to your shop"Nonso offered genuinely.I shook my head at his offer,"no Nonso.

AMARACHI It was 6pm. Some shops were closing from the days work as i walked back home to go make dinner. My mind was in turmoil. I couldn't stop thinking.What if they actually chase me out of the house?I was so engrossed in my thoughts that my heart started thumping so fast. I stopped for a moment and rested under a nearby tree.I had to calm myself down.Suddenly i thought of Nonso and Rebecca. Memories of how Becca humilated me came flooding into my mind."Who would ever think Becca that i knew from little will turn against me like this?"So now she practically hates me for what i didn't even do?It felt like i was cursed. Good things weren't destined to stay with me for long. I shook my head in anguish and a deep sigh espaced my lips.

Nne watched as Francis fumed with anger. He had dagger eyes as he stared at Nne."Francis please calm down. Don't let Amara hear you"Nne pleaded.Francis waved his hand at her and turned his face away, hissing. "But it's high time we tell that girl the truth. Let her know that she is not our blood"Francis said."Tell her what exactly? That the person she sees as her dad isn't her biological father? That her biological father is a rapist? That the only thing connecting her to this family is because Emeka decided to take care of her and her late mother?"Nne asked rheotorically. She was really distressed."Yes!"Francis replied almost immediately."Tell her everything! Let Amarachi go find her real family. We are not her family!"Nne couldn't believe her ears.

Amarachi walked out of the bathroom, her bathroom robe hugging on to her wet body. She sighed and walked towards the bed, sitting on it. A deep sigh left from her parted lips once more. She loosened her braids, letting it fall down as she laid down backwards on the bed.Although she felt sad by what took place yesterday in Lydia's house, still deep down she also felt this sudden peace of mind knowing she had unraveled the hidden truths. She still couldn't believe Lydia would go that far out of jealousy.A jealous heart was truly more dangerous than poison.Lydia let jealousy eat deep into her that she totally became immune to human sympathy.

AMARACHI I faced the large dressing mirror that stood on the wall horizontally.I couldn't believe I was actually back in Enugu. I felt so nauseous when we landed yesterday evening. I truly didn't know if it was because it was my first time using a plane or because of the fact that I was back in this state that held so much bad memories for me.Jordan held me softly as we waited for our designated driver that will take us to his mum's house. I couldn't even sleep well the entire night. I twisted and turned restlessly on the bed. I just couldn't wait for dawn so I could go meet aunty Lydia. I needed to move on and rap this up as soon as I could. Today would be the day I found out the truth surrounding my birth and my mother's death. I wanted nothing but the truth.All my life, I had alw

Raphael buried his face down wards with his hands resting on the table in front of him. He didn't know how long he had been thinking but his thoughts ran wild. Nicole was avoiding him and it hurt him deeply. The only reason he killed Tobi was because the brute was forcing himself on her.
