AMARACHI
I was scared to death when aunty Lydia uttered that statement. I never really believed aunty Lydia would throw me out but she actually just said I'm leaving the house today.
It wasn't fair!Life wasn't fair!My father built that house for all of us. It was my house too!Aunty Lydia made a stupid deal with chief clement and I was the one paying the price for it. I shook uncontrollably and wailed out loud."Aunty please. Where do you want me to go if you throw me out?"i begged as i ran to her feet crying.She pushed me off her immediately,"If you like you die!"Aunty Lydia spat at me as she went inside her office to try and stop one of the men from taking her belongings. I fell to the floor and cried bitterly.Aunty Lydia looked so dangerous at the same time so helpless at the mercy of chief clement.Chief clement? Yes maybe if i beg him,Are you serious? This dress is lovely"Mrs Justice said astonished by the beautiful design of the dress. Lydia smiled sheepishly as she watched Mrs Justice admire the dress Amara sewed."You know this is the type of pure talent I'm searching for. My goodness!"Mrs Justice exclaimed."My daughter is very talented in sewing. She works day and night"Lydia lied."What about Amarachi? Doesn't she sew too?"Mrs Justice asked.The smile on aunty Lydia's face immediately vanished, replaced by a frown."Well she does but she's learning from ogechi"Lydia murmured. Mrs Justice nodded her head and kept on admiring the dress.There was a brief silence."Where is Ogechi? Is she in the shop? Please introduce me to her"Mrs Justice said, breaking the silence.Lydia was dazed for a moment. She scrunched her face and averted her gaze from Mrs Justice, facing downwards as if she
Adaora heard wailing emanating from within the house. She had just come back from the market that morning to buy some foodstuffs and was approaching the house when she heard wailing and shouting coming from within the house."Who is shouting? That sounds like sister's voice o. Isn't mama around?"She immediately rushed inside to meet her sister lying face down, clutching to her stomach."Sister!"Adaora screamed out in fear as she beheld the sight before her. She dropped the polythene bags of foodstuffs and she ran towards rebecca who kept on wincing in pain and crying."Sister what happened to you now?"Adaora asked as hot fat tears rolled down her cheeks. "Mama!"Adaora called out as a wave of panic coursed through her body but she got no response but the echo of her voice."What will i do? What did you do to yourself!?"Adaora asked panicking.Suddenly she spotted a hypo container lying close to B
Nonso stood waiting anxiously by the door leading to Becca's ward. His heart was racing so fast as thoughts of what could happen to Becca filled his mind.He still couldn't fathom why she drank hypo. Adaora never told him the reason."Becca why will you do such to yourself? Why are you being so selfish and unreasonable!?"The more he thought about Becca's behaviour, the more enraged he became.He clenched his fist in anger and hissed. Nonso took a glance at Adaora who was crying bitterly as his mother tried consoling her."Adaora stop crying now. She will be fine"Mrs blessing said trying to reassure Adaora but she just kept on weeping uncontrollably."Mama you won't understand. Rebecca means the world to me. If anything happens to her I'll kill myself!"Adaora lamented as she buried her face in her hands. "You won'
Lydia was dumbstruck when Mrs Justice uttered that statement. Her blood boiled and she restrained herself from screaming. She took a cursory glance at Ogechi who had confusion written all over her face.She cursed under her breath and swallowed the bile forming in her throat."Em.em..Ada you mean you want to see Amara's work?"Lydia asked nervously.Mrs Justice nodded her head in response to the question.It felt like the hatred Lydia had for Amara just inflated."But...but..amara is still learning from my daughter...."Lydia began to speak in order to put her daughter back in the spotlight."I know that but i want to still see what she can sew. Or you want to tell me that Amara has been learning from Ogechi but hasn't sewed a single dress? Ogechi doesn't let her sew? That means Ogechi is a bad teacher"Mrs Justice said with a smirk.Ogechi swallowed her saliva and shook her head,"No no ma I'm not a bad tea
AMARACHI I watched as Nne and aunty Lydia were at loggerheads with each other.God!Why was my life like this?Was i the cause of all these problems and misunderstandings?"I am not insulting her. I am just telling the girl the truth. Can't Ogechi cook the food? Why always amara?"Nne lashed at aunty Lydia who in turn glared at her."Nne i don't like how you are always supporting Amara o. I went out. If not,what is pounded yam that I can't prepare?"Ogechi scoffed.Nne cursed her in our igbo dialect and hissed at her."Come on shut up. If you had sense I would have supported you too. The only thing you are good at is going out and having male friends here and there"Nne said to Ogechi. "Nne is enough!"aunty Lydia yelled.I was so helpless. I didn't know how to reduce the rising tensions between Nne and
Amarachi slept soundly on the sofa oblivious of the smile spreading across her lips.She was dreaming.Yes the poor orphan was seeing herself with her mother who gently caressed her and tendered a wound she had on her knee.The angel looking down from heaven smiled watching the innocent girl find joy in her dreams. "Chineke(God), so this girl is still sleeping?"Lydia asked no one in particular as she entered the living room and spotted Amara sleeping on the couch. She eyed amara continuously, thinking of a painful way to wake her up.The angel watching from heaven let out a tear for amara, knowing the harsh realities she would have to face once she wakes up. Lydia immediately bent downwards toward Amara's thigh and bit a huge chunk of her flesh aggressively which made Amara let out a scream in pain.AMARACHI I felt s
Mrs Justice stared at Nne,utterly perplexed by what she just heard.She blinked severally and cleared her throat."Mama there must be a misunderstanding somewhere"Mrs Justice began with a smile."Madam Lydia told me that Ogechi is a seamstress. She even works with her and said Ogechi taught Amara how to sew"Nne furrowed her eyebrows at Mrs Justice. "Why would Lydia utter such a lie? There must be something attached to it. She wants to be on her good side that's why she is trying to paint a good picture of herself to Ada""But ogechi is still my daughter as well as Amara. If i tell Ada the full truth she might not want to associate with Lydia again""Mama what are you thinking?"Ada's voice cut through Nne's thoughts.Nne smiled at her and shook her head,"I see
AMARACHI I walked back home holding two polythene bags, one filled with customer clothes and the other, with soup ingredients.I had just come back from the market and was walking home.Thoughts of what aunty Lydia said to me in the shop came rushing into my mind."What did she mean by she will kill Me? Did aunty Lydia really mean it? How am I stealing the spotlight from Ogechi?"These questions rummaged through my mind for answers as i kept on walking, curiosity and anxiety coursing through my body."Amara"I suddenly heard my name which jolted me out of my reverie. I turned back to see who called and was surprised to see Nonso running after me."Nonso kedi(how are you)?"I asked a bit surprised to see him."Amara you are scarce these days o. What are you carrying? Let me help you"Nonso offere

Take care you all!
Amarachi let out a soft whimper whilst Jordan's one arm made its way to her breast, fondling it and tweaking her nipples through her night gown.She felt her panties becoming wet while Jordan's deft fingers kept on groping onto her breasts."Jordan.."She moaned out of breath as he pulled away only to crush his lips back on hers again, giving her no time to breathe.He let out a low guttural grown and pressed her firmly against him.Amarachi could feel his hard sex poking her thighs and it sent jitters down her body.Jordan trailed wet kisses down her neck and nuzzled against it."I'll love to go rough on you piccolo"Jordan whispered seductively which only increased the wetness in Amarachi's panties."Please go soft"Amarachi heard herself plea.He pulled back and gazed at her."I'll love this night to be perfect for you Amarachi. I want to make love to you and mak
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. She had let resentments and animosity rule over her life to the extent that she passed the hatred over to Amarachi.Amarachi never wanted to believe Lydia was that wicked but now she had confirmed it for herself. Now she owed nothing to that family anymore. She had paid her last respects and she knew she would never cro
Jordan and Amarachi both got down from the car with Amarachi feeling excited to see Nonso. He was actually the only person she got so excited to see. She silently prayed he would be home. His gate was fully opened and they both entered inside the compound.Everything just looked the same to Amarachi. She suddenly became nostalgic as she remembered those moments where she and Rebecca would come visit him. She felt her heart beat faster with each step they took inside the compound. Amarachi spotted a parked car and noticed the boot was left opened with luggages in it. It was different from the car she knew Nonso had.She wondered if some other people were now living in the compound. She dreaded that thought. She just wanted and hoped to meet Nonso before she finally travelled out. He had been such a huge emotional shoulder to her and she just wanted to see him again,
"Lydia why did you do this? My mother loved you, she loved Ogechi too. She wanted the best for all of us. Do you know she would always tell me back then that she couldn't wait to see I and Ogechi grow up to be successful women with good husbands? She loved your daughter Lydia. She loved you Lydia"Amarachi said as the tears kept streaming down her cheeks. She didn't even want to retrain herself from crying. She cried so uncontrollably that her body shook. Amarachi held on to Jordan tighter for support because she felt she could pass out any moment.Jordan planted a tender kiss on her cheek and patted her hair softly as he maintained his hold on her waist.Lydia fell to her knees and crouched to Amarachi's feet, her tears dropping on her feet whilst she wailed and pleaded for forgiveness. Amarachi closed her eyes and cried bitterly as Lydia begged at her feet.Francis stared at his wife, disgusted by her. H
Rebecca sat on a plastic chair, fanning herself with a handfan. The heat was unbearable inside the cramped self contain she now called her home. Perspiration covered her face as she kept on fanning herself whilst Emmanuel, the man who was responsible for her pregnancy laid on the bed, laughing to himself as he kept on chatting on his phone.Rebecca eyed Emmanuel as he kept on being focused on his phone not even minding Rebecca's multiple glares. Rebecca cursed and cried within her over her ill fate. She was heavily pregnant with his child and her mother had forced her to come stay with him. Nonso had utterly rejected her and cut her off from his life. Emmanuel had proven to her that he was just a brute. He never came back home sometimes, hardly provided money for feeding and was a strong womaniser. Rebecca sometimes couldn't believe this was the life she had to deal with it. She
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. Rape was something he could never tolerate.Sex should be by consent not by force. He wasn't just forcing himself on any woman, the motherfucker was forcing himself on his woman. And he had to teach him a lesson. A capital lesson. Now Nicole was avoiding him like a plague. He only did that to protect her. Her staying away from him was equivalent to starving him of food and water. He wanted to hold her in his arms and tell her a million times how much he loved her but she was avoiding him like he had leprosy. His love life was going hay wire and now he will have to leave for Italy soon. Ivan
A week had passed since that fearful incident. Nicole had entirely made sure to stay away from Raphael. She tried as much as she could to avoid his calls and texts and avoided places she knew she could bump into him.Even though she felt he was tracking and watching her, she tried her best to avoid him physically. Whenever she remembered that horrifying murder, it shook her and made her nauseous.Tobi worked under her father and he got to know of it. He was so distraught when he heard that Tobi passed away. Tobi was one of his brightest workers and loosing him was like loosing part of the brains of the company. Her father had promised to fund his funeral and he also urged the police to bring the murderers of Tobi to book. Nicole had never felt so scared in her life especially when she saw the news of Tobi's murder on the headlines. The police believed he was beaten to death by thieves. Raphael's men
