Epic 71I screamed so loud in pain that I didn't even know when I hit her with the edge of my gun. “You must be crazy, thinking you'd do away with this”. I exclaimed while still in deep pain.“I am not afraid of anything, let alone a mere church rat. Now you have me in your custody, treat me to your satisfaction because If I am to get out of here, it will be a merciless death for you”. She said as I kept looking at her in pain“You know, I am happy to die now, I am happy I killed all my enemies, before ending this sorrowful life”. She said while laughing.“Yeah, you did a good job, it is such an awesome achievement. Don't you think so?”. I said while smiling.“Very awesome! About Benjamin?”. She let out a loud laugh as my heart began to tremble.“What happened to him? I know all you did to him, or should I say us?”. I said as she smiled at me.“You feel you know enough, don't you?”. She mumbled again, laughing.“I may not know enough, but from the little which I can testify, you are
Epic 71Leo seemed to have heard my shout as he immediately ran inside.sighting the full of blood that was rushing out of my head Leo immediately attacked my aunty, while I struggled to catch my breath. It was indeed a tough fight between Leo and my aunt. I didn't know a woman could have such strength. I almost pitied Leo at some point. But, I couldn't stand up to join them in the fight, I was still struggling to stop myself from bleeding too much.While I sat down, and observe the two of them fighting, I noticed she carried up a heavy stone to hit Leo, I had to scream his name, for him to dodge it, and on the same ground, I used the last strength in me to carry up a heavy wooden stick and landed it on her head. She screamed so much in pain, as she tried to attack me, but Leo quickly hit her.We joined forces together and put her in her place.Blood was coming out of her nose and mouth, and she began to pant profusely, even though she kept laughing at us as if whatever pain it was sh
Epic 1My name is Angel, and the bitter part of my story is that I can't forget what happened to me in 2001. As a young girl child, struggling to survive in the city of Lagos with my blind father who was trying his possible best to put food on the table with his shoemaking business, even as a blind man, my father was still very creative, even with how busy Lagos can be, filled with a lot of traders, papa's own still happened to be the best, Customer's kept trooping in and out of his shop.I was told that my mum is a great prostitute, she left dad after giving birth to my other sister Chidinma, while Papa was struggling with our survival, he got into an accident that affected his eyes, leading to his blindness. While Chidinma stays at the shop with Papa to help him out with the calculation of money, and also to avoid counterfeits. I go up to the big market to trade. Agile and bold, I kept surviving in the dreadful city of Lagos, Lagos is not a place where you survive with cold feet. W
Epic 2I opened the message from my mother and saw the most disheartening message ever. I couldn't help but master each line. It read.“Congratulations on your new job, it is obvious you will no longer be having parental care, which is why I am sending you this letter for the second time, to either accept my offer or watch your little sister suffer at an early stage. I am sure you wouldn't want that to happen or would you?”. I wish she was with me all alone, without her guards, I would have beaten the hell out of her.What an insult to the parental hood! Coming from a woman whose husband just passed away. I couldn't sleep in the house alone with Dinma, we went to aunty Jane, our neighbor's house. I can not believe that my greatest compartment has become a haunted house to me.I tried my best to stop Dinma who kept on disturbing me with tears. Aunty Jane went as far as getting her some snacks which she refused to eat. I kept assuring her how beautiful everything will be soonest.”Whe
Epic 3I left the hospital without uttering a word to Dinma. I'm sure her foster mother wondered what was wrong with me.I met Leo on the way while going home.“What is wrong with you? You didn't call me as planned before going to the hospital and you didn't even pick up my calls” He complained a bit angry.I didn't even notice that he called.“Um! I am so sorry for that, Dinma needed a sweater urgently, so I had to go give it to her, and as for the missed calls, I am so sorry, I didn't even notice that you called”. I managed to mutter while avoiding his angry look.“It is fine, how is she? Hope she is getting better?”. He asked.“yeah! She is” I replied.“Did the doctor say when she will be discharged?” He asked.“No! I didn't ask him though”. I said and we headed back home.“You don't look happy, what happened?”. He asked, looking at me strangely.I knew he was going to say something about my look, Leo can be very observant. I can't even pretend to be fine when I am not, because he
Epic 4"I want you to marry me," Benjamin said.I was dumbfounded. Why must people demand something, before helping others?“I will have to think about it,” I said while bending my head slowly.“It is fine, you can take all the time you desire, I hope for a positive response though,” he said.I smiled and immediately stood up.“It was nice talking to you,” I said while trying to go before he brought out his hands for a handshake, which I wanted to ignore but had to play along with.“Same beauty”, he said while pecking me on my hands.I felt disgusted. I wouldn't have ever believed that Benjamin could be this way. Why was he acting all caring and kind, like he wanted to help?I walked home so down, I felt rejected and empty and didn't know what to do. Should I just go by my biological mother's deal, or should I marry Benjamin?I got home, so tired, I tried hiding my emotions from mama, I didn't want her to be bothered.“Welcome, you came back rather too late,” mama said immediately aft
Epic 5It was a hard decision for Leo to accept but he had to do so.I went to meet Benjamin to let him know my final decision. As usual, he was already there before me."Good day". I greeted as I sat confidently close to him." How are you doing today my damsel?". He asked.“Well, I am doing fine as you can see”. I responded a bit harshly.“I can see that, so, what good news have you brought?". He asked confidently like he is already assured that I already accepted his proposal."Everything that happens in life is good news, depending on the perspective you are seeing things from. It is said that every disappointment is a blessing, so every bad news is good news". I said confidently while sipping the already served juice.“Wow! That is a nice combination, so what news have you brought?”. He asked."After a long thought and it being a hard decision, I accepted your proposal". I said though I felt a sharp pain inside of me after that.I saw how he screamed in excitement. He kept repeat
Epic 6It is no longer a story in the town that Dengel or Angel the late blind man's daughter got married to a wealthy man, who is working at Pine Valley company. Well, that is a 1997 story to behold. Benjamin gave me the best life I can ever imagine. He stuck to our marriage plan. Not only did he shower me with lots of love, but he also extended it to my sister and my foster parents. I thanked God for a life-changing opportunity like this. It is so painful that I happened not to see Leo after my wedding day, nobody seemed to know his whereabouts. Months passed, and I haven't taken in for Benjamin, it got him worried. I was worried as well, but it seemed to be a normal thing, lots of people stay years in their marriage, yet they end up conceiving, ours is just a few months, and he is already worried this much. After a few more months, I started noticing some strange behavior, which Benjamin started developing. He no longer eats my night food, always coming back with an already fille
