The most painful thing is that those boys that made me a sex machine dusted their butts and married responsible ladies. While I remained there jumping from one sexually abused relationship to another. Then I became desperate, I want to get married at all cost and I did all to no avail. Infact I ended up hurt and wounded as none of the guys wanted marriage, all they wanted was s*x. I went as far as proposing to guys and I even promised to cater for myself but they refused marrying me.

Then I was trolled for being that useless ashawo that refused to leave her father’s house but now I’m trolled for being that barren witch that has killed several babies and God is now punishing her by denying her the right to any. They are right anyways, I had killed so many babies and now I’m looking for even if its one.

Oh how my husband was happy, he was proud of me and gave me all the happiness life could offer. He showered me and my daughter with so much love and affection. He literally worshipped me oh how I loved the way he doted me. He cooked, washed, he did all the work, he wouldn’t even allow me to lift so much as a pillow. He gave me everything I could and couldn’t dream of He was the perfect husby I couldn’t even find his kind not even in movies. He was the perfect husband.

According to our Nigeria norms (culture and tradition).an elder has to come over for omugo, who would be the perfect person to take Care of me if not my mum But little did I know that I dugged my own grave!!! You know people like us are just meant to suffer for a whole life time.
How would I even imagine that my mother would destroyed my life.
TBC
Episode 3
As the custom demands, my mother came over for Omugo and took perfect Care of me for good six months. I was not just grateful to her, I was also very grateful that my father permitted her to stay with me till this time.my parents are such an amazing couple with intriguing chemistry, the way they loved each other could make any normal person jealous. They obviously could not do without each other, most especially my dad he was the craziest when it comes to his wife, he lost it. I never even imagined that my dad will permit her to stay this long, but I’m his sweet daughter and this is the least he could do for his only daughter. I bought special gifts and packages for both my parents, I wanted to appreciate and compensate them. I made sure my mum had a safe flight from port Harcourt to Warri. I was happy that she reached safely. Her stay with me was so fantastic, I could only have wished it had not ended so soon.it was so comforting that she was now back home safely. Finally, my life is back in pace, I never thought my life could be so joyful, peaceful and problems free. All I could do is to give God praise.
****
At last, the joy was short lived as the very next day I received a phone call from my dad compelling me to come home with my husband immediately. I asked if all is well and he told me to come see for myself. I knew immediately that something was so wrong but what??
I told my husband Dessy he said I would be going alone because he has a business deal to handle, when he’s done he will take the next flight to Warri. I kissed him passionately as if it is going to be the last time I get to see him.
****
My peace left me, I was feeling as if I am going to lose something dear to me. I rushed to our compound to see the whole village council waiting for me, oh Ruby! what have you done now?
Fathers of the land I greet you! the greetings of an irresponsible daughter is not accepted by us!
oh my God!!!!
Damn it!!! What the hell did I do wrong now?
TBC
Episode 4
Dear God, what did I do again? My dad and the village council accused me of not taking Care of my mom, that she has just fallen unconscious, they were suspecting that she contacted chronic malaria and typhoid.
Dearest Lord, you have to vindicate your daughter and let the tests come out negative. Heaven knows that I took perfect Care of my mom, I pray nothing bad should happen to her, the mere thought of it makes me want to fall unconscious too.
***
Few hours later, My mom became conscious and she told us that she was fine, that she just felt dizzy and that’s all. She didn’t even knew when she passed out, I was so happy that she was fine. She proceeded by telling us how I took perfect Care of her, my dad apologized to me and happiness visited us for a short while before the nurse came with the test results. The results that shattered my life forever. The results States that my mom at 58 years of age, that my very own mum who had approached her menopause years ago, that my darling mother is two months pregnant. Pregnant???
We were all shocked, like how manage?? Two months?? Impossible!! She has been away from Dad for six months and she just returned two days ago, so what nonsense is this nurse talking about?
I took my mom home, but I couldn’t come to rest, the village has already started talking about my mom’s mysterious pregnancy and I determined to prove them wrong to her to another hospital but the results were the same! I took her to about five more hospitals, the results were all the same. Now this is serious, so she really is pregnant? And it’s definitely not for my Dad who could be responsible then?? I really wished God did not decided to embarrass my family like this?
My mother has only given birth to the 2 of us, she really wanted to give birth again but God never made this true but now that we don’t want this shameful child, it pleases God to bless my family with an abomination. And mom who the fucking hell is responsible?? My mom has to speak up oo who was the fool that had the guts to impregnate her while she is in my very own home? Why on earth did she choose to cheat on dad and with whom??
This and more were the questions in my mind.
Episode 5
Who is responsible?? Who could be responsible for my mum’s pregnancy, I tried my best to crack the nut but failed, I decided to ask my mother. On reaching home the village council are there already taking legal actions against my mom. According to our custom any married woman that gets pregnant for another man is worthy of death. I was scared, I’m I going to lose my mom?? My life is so weird and twisted. In a normal straight going life, the daughter gets pregnant illegally and the mother questions her, but my twisted God forsaken life is the entire opposite. The big question is who impregnated my mom, I’m sure she didn’t get herself pregnant. My mom promised to announce to the hearing of the entire village the name of whoever was responsible on a condition that she wouldn’t be harmed. They should banish her instead.
They agreed
***
Few hours later
The entire village was gathered at the market square and my mom announced to the hearing of all that my husband Dessy, My dear husby was responsible, the entire crowd squealed in utmost wonder and shock. But I remained indifferent, I didn’t believe a word she spitted, I need to hear that from Dessy before believing any shit.it doesn’t matter who spitted it, my Mom, an angel, not even God could convince me. I called Dessy and asked him to come over immediately and he promised to do so. There is a misunderstanding somewhere I shouted to the murmuring crowd, my husband is not responsible, she’s my mother and with due respect I state that she must have been mistaken or something but my Dessy would do no such thing, in fact he is on his way here and he would prove himself innocent. I argued. I just hope she’s telling the truth a voice muttered. This kind of abomination has never occurred in the history of this village another voice muttered. Dessy please come already, I can’t listen anymore, I could even pass out please Dessy you have to save my neck and fate today, for our daughter’s sake please!!! And as expected Dessy came in, he walked up to me and placed a light soft kiss on my lips, I have really missed you dear, you know that you are the oxygen that I breath, I was visibly suffocating my love. I smiled while he caressed my hair, can my sweet loving husband be guilty of all the accusations?? I know that it is impossible for Dessy to ever hurt me. The Dessy I know won’t even allow a fly to perch on my skin.
God let this be a lie please!!!

Listen to me boy, you better say the truth, you have been sleeping with me right from the very first day I came over to your place, don’t tell me that you have such a faint memory. Why did you want to destroy my marriage? Dessy asked my mom. You are talking about your marriage didn’t you know you were married when you were having s*x with me?? But I thought you have reached your menopause now, how come you are now pregnant? God for you oo even I thought the same but…

Episode 7
I later regained my consciousness, I still couldn’t believe that the two people I love the most will be the once to hurt me the most. Truly all things are possible, if my mom who loves me this much could do this to me and my sweet Dessy then everything is possible. I just couldn’t explain the gravity of the pains in my heart, I was more than shattered, so my child and sister are gonna share one father. All I wanted to do was to die but I just can’t trust anyone with my daughter.
So I have to survive for her. The gossips was too much, everywhere I went people kept gossiping about me and my mom. I overheard a woman saying omugo na by force ne? If she no fit stay without a man she for kukuma no come? I pity her husband and her daughter, the husband like her like no tomorrow, I no know wetin make her do like this. Talking about my Dad he was so hurt and heartbroken about the whole incident, I just can’t explain the gravity of our pains, we were betrayed by the ones we loved the most.
***
My mom was banished and she came straight to my home stating that she has nowhere else to turn to. Well, I was past caring I became a living ghost, I was shattered beyond repair, I prayed my daughter life won’t be like mine and that I will be a better mum to her, tears was my food and water, I cried more than I breathe, I couldn’t believe that the one woman who has given me life would cause so much pain. I mean what did I ever do to deserve all of this? She knew how difficult it was to get married in the first place, now she’s has literally not just broken my marriage but she destroyed my life. Omugo that was supposed to bring joy into our lives brought unbearable pain that could never be repaired. Talking about repairing, we could mend our sails and work on our relationship if my mom just aborts that sin she’s carrying and return to my father, he would forgive her, I know because he loves her a lot.
I decided to convince her to abort the child.
TBC
Episode 8
I tried convincing my mom to abort the baby, our life would be back to normal if only she would abort that abomination. But I was surprised and heartbroken as she turned me down coldly, she asked me to get out of her room and that I should stay away from her baby, she also stated that this baby is a ticket to wealth for her, the world may see this baby as an abomination but the baby is a blessing to her and the baby would help her achieve her dreams. I walked out of her room with more holes in my heart, God please let this be a nightmare, I need to wake up as soon as I can.
★★★
Few days later
I thought of walking in the garden of my house, some touch of nature and beauty could get my head off some things I thought. My baby was sleeping so I would get to be alone for some time, away from the bad memories. But as I stepped into the garden I immediately realize that it was a terrible decision as memories of sweet romance between me and my husband flashback and like a thousand daggers it pierced my soul, his touch, his kisses, his hugs, I could still hear his heartbeat whenever he comes really close to me. the memories flood my being. I was interrupted by some noise, who are those fellows, I decided to see who were they, I hope they are not thieves. As I went closer it dawned on me that it was my husband talking to someone, I turned to go back to my room but stop midway as I noticed that the person he was talking to was a lady. Which other lady is he meeting now, I turned to check. Lo and behold it was my mother, and what is it that they were discussing?? I decided to eaves drop on their conversation, I heard my mom telling my husband to get married to her in the next one week or they would be an issue. My husband on the other hand was begging her to be patient with him, I need to disclose our marriage to your daughter in a way that she won’t get hurt.
I don’t care, all I know is that our wedding is next week. you are rich enough to pull of this wedding in a single day but I choose to give you as much as a week. I don’t need your silly excuses.
I love you a lot, you know that I would do anything for you right, if you want a wedding next week, then it’s happening sweetie. They hugged and he kissed her passionately. I felt tipsy and dizzy, my heart was beating slowly, before I could spell my name I passed out.

Few hours later
I saw myself in the hospital, I had this terrible head ache, I am so tired of been weak.
Episode 9
I was so tired of fainting and the pains that comes with it, the headache was so unbearable, I wished I wasn’t this weak. Why can’t I stop adding pains to my pain, if they want to get married, they should. I was lucky that the gardener saw me on time and helped me to the hospital. My baby, oh God I can’t be leaving my baby alone, I have to be strong for her. I pulled off the drip and made for the door, I was so weak and I was busy falling over again and again but I didn’t give up. I was hearing the cries of my baby, she might miss me, she might be hungry or wet, she might be crying, while I’m lying here. I rushed to the door, pulled it open and went out a nurse was trying to stop me, but I pushed her out of my way. I cared for my baby a lot, and I wonder which mother wouldn’t. But why does my mother prefer money to her own flesh and blood??
***
Few weeks later
My husband and my mom just returned from their honey moon to Switzerland, my mom’s friends where there and she wouldn’t stop talking about how romantic my husband was, well Dessy is quite romantic if I will be truthful but it hurts me that my mom and my husband were the one who destroyed my miserable life. Truly betrayal comes from the ones we love dearly.
I made dinner and as we sat to eat my mom began to complain that her baby doesn’t want to eat Rice, the baby wants corn and yoghurt. I watched Dessy worked himself out preparing her endless wants, she wants this and that bla bla bla. Dessy was busy getting her wants materialized. I have always known my mother to be quite materialistic and sometimes greedy but I really underestimated her abilities. I watched her make Dessy dance to her tunes. I felt a lump choking my throat down to my chest, I just can’t stand this anymore, I excused myself and it was the last time we ate together. Dessy kept becoming richer as the day goes by, and the pains in my heart intensify without measures.
I decided to keep to my self as much as possible the less I saw the healthier I became.
One morning I woke up with chronic heart alarming pains, it was so much that I rushed to the hospital to see my doctor. The doctor said I almost had a heart attack and that I should stay away from toxic people and alarming situations, I should try as much as possible to stay happy and healthy for my daughter’s sake. There and then I took a decision that would change my life forever, I was tired of a life of sorrows and I have to move on.
Episode 10
I made a decision that would change my life forever, staying at that luxurious palace but dying inside is the last thing I want, so I decided to move on. I’m leaving port Harcourt, I will go far away, and I will not be needing a penny from Dessy. I went to the market bought a few things that I and my baby would need for the journey, as I was trying to get a cab, something mysterious happened. I heard a voice that sounds like my mom’s voice calling from behind, I turned and saw a woman who looks just like my mom but she look wretched and tattered, she look hungry too. “I am still alive” that was the only thing she said and disappeared. I couldn’t make out a single thing from what she said but it got me really wondering, how comes she looks just like my mom?? Why the striking resemblance?? I kept wondering, I went home and my mum was in the sitting room preparing for her birthday. I wouldn’t be part of this silly celebration, Whose betrayal seemed more painful? My mum’s or Dessy’s?? I wondered
Anyways let by gone be by gone, I picked my baby and our luggage and left for the park.
At the park I wondered where I would go now? Lagos would be nice, my one and only sibling, my brother lived there I thought with a smile. I really missed him, ever since he got married and settled in Lagos, I saw less of him. I went to see my Dad, encouraged him and I told him about my decisions and he was glad that I made such a sensible decision. I entered my brother’s house and for the first time in a long time, I was truly happy. He’s wife received us warmly, she made sure we were comfortable, my brother who was not aware of all that had happened was surprised, seeing me with all my clothes. I narrated what happened to him and he was really mad at me for not sharing this with him. I would have taught that husband of yours a very good lesson. How dare him! He wanted to deal with Dessy but I advised him to let it be. He was truly sorry for me, he petted me and helped me sleep. The next day, he returned from work with a key to a well-furnished house and also a job opportunity for me, he said it will help me get over everything. I couldn’t thank him enough and of cause this is how siblings are supposed to be. Helping and supporting each other in time of need. I was happy, I moved in to my two bedroom flat and I resumed work at his wife’s school, teaching was cool as it allow me take good care of my daughter and I was so happy.
TBC
Episode 11
I worked, took good care of my baby and my life was once again flooded with peace. I forgave and forgot all what my mom and husband did to me. If I tell you that it was easy then I’m the biggest liar on earth. But I forgave them not because they deserved it, I forgave them for myself. I had contacted a heart disease and the doctors said that I’ll have to undergo a surgery, That’s when I discovered that staying bitter isn’t doing me any good besides, they’re living their lives as if I don’t exist, they’re happy, so I see no reason why I will stop myself from been happy, killing myself in silently for people who cared less whether I lived or die. I came to face with reality, I needed to stay alive and been bitter harms me not the ones that I’m bitter against.as this reality dawned on me, it became very easy to forgave them. Immediately after I forgave them, happiness, peace and joy flooded my life.
And the happiness and joy that comes with been a mother made me forget what they’ve done. My life was now back on track, I now go to church more frequently, I now prayed. I went back to the hospital for the surgery and the doctors said my condition has improved a great deal and a surgery is no longer required, they gave me some drugs and injections, they also placed me on specific diet and exercises. I was happy, forgiveness pays after all you see anger and bitterness is like locking up a prisoner only to discover that you are the prisoner, now that I’ve forgiven them, I’ve freed myself.
Anger, bitterness profits nothing. I can now say with a smile
★★★
That particular night, while I was sleeping, I woke up with such a fright you would think that I had a nightmare but I had none.it was as though something really bad has happened. I switched on the lights immediately, I checked on my baby and she wasn’t there, no way angel, I screamed checking for her all over my house to my greatest surprise my baby was nowhere to be found. No way, but I’m sure, I saw her when I went to ease myself earlier on, where could she have gone? What could have happened to her?? How did my cute little angel disappear?? It doesn’t make any sense to me and I was on the verge of getting mad. I checked my neighbors houses, my brother’s house, and every other person I knew, I even called the police to help me find her. God please don’t do this to me, how did my baby disappear from under my nose?? How did she get lost?? My baby has to be found, I can’t survive without her.
Episode 12
As I kept searching, I saw a dead child in my sitting room, behind my sofa. The child doesn’t look like my daughter, so I was wondering how did my daughter disappear and how did this child ended up here? I wondered I decided to let my brother know, I locked up the baby in my house while I went to my brother’s house. On my way there something really weird happened. I saw the same woman who looked just like my mom. So my mom must be the one who orchestrated the whole thing, I decided to confront her, I mean how dare her?? If she never valued her daughter (me), I valued mine woman I shouted, how dare you. Before I could complete my statement, she drew me into a warm embraced. I missed you dear, how have you been? How is your brother??
Oh please stop this nonsense, stop pretending like you care. She used her hand to shut mouth, my dear I am back! She said. Back from where I asked confused. Then she told me, that she’s my real mom and that she have been kidnapped on her way to my place for Omugo by her twin sister Meyi.
She went further to tell me that her identical twin had taken her place creating all the havoc that I experienced, she explained that she just escaped and that the kidnappers must be looking for her and that they might find her soon, they had wanted to kill her when she escaped, she didn’t wanted to die with the truth, she wanted to tell me that a mother loves her child a lot, she feels her child’s pains and shares her child’s joy, she could never hurt me, a mother’s love can’t be compared with no other, She said. But why does your twin sister hates you so much, I asked? it’s a long story, my mother said. She hated me because of your father. When we were much younger, she had fallen in love with your father, but your father fell in love with me instead. I insisted she gets married to him but she refused, she said the love will be one-sided and she never wanted that. She willingly sacrificed her love for me to be happy. We got happily married.
Few years later

I told her that I can’t because of my children, but she vowed to revenge, she promised to make our lives a living nightmare, she said she would ruin our lives. And now she’s back for her revenge.

I thought of taking every soul out of this place before the bomb blasts. I hurried to the party, but Meyi is there already. And her men has tied up every member of the family including the guests. Before I could run away, Meyi pulled me by the hair and drag me to where the rest of the family are. They tied me up as well. What did we ever do to you Meyi? My mom asked in tears. You took away the love of my life, and you dare ask me what you did?? You destroyed my life, you made me what I am today, the evil Meyi you see today is a product of betrayal, you betrayed me, you married the love of my life, he was my life and you took that away from me. Today you will meet your end this is the promise of MEYIIIIII

There in Lagos she was wandering around like a loose goat wondering what the next step of her life would be.
