❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Owen keeps quiet for a few minutes. He gathers some courage and says, “I am fine, mum.” “And I hope what Emilia told me about you is not true?” Margaret said, still gazing at Owen’s face. Owen is shocked by Margaret’s words. He now believes that Emilia had explained everything that happened at school today to Margaret. Margaret was waiting painstakingly to receive a reply from Owen. Owen, on the other hand, is looking at Margaret and refusing to say a word. Emilia watches mother and son and she keeps quiet too. She waits patiently to know the next stage of action. When Margaret can’t take it any longer, she screams at Liam. “I was told you were caught almost raping a girl at school today,” Margaret said. Owen looked at Margaret. Despite the fact that child abuse is not allowed in the USA, Margaret still sanctions her children. She believes the kids are still young and should be cautioned at times. If not for the interve
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ The children were so happy with Margaret’s explanation. Owen says Margaret's explanation is like that of his science teacher. Margaret smiled at this. She asks the children some questions and they give her the right replies. Margaret asks about the traits of puberty in girls. Emilia looks as if it is her teacher that asks her questions inside the class. She clears her throat and tells Margaret the traits of puberty she knows about girls. Margaret was listening carefully as Emilia talked. When Emilia is done, Margaret is already filled with joy. She asks Owen to clap for Emilia. Owen claps for Emilia. Emilia was already blushing at where she was seated. She doesn’t know when she starts clapping for herself too. “It’s alright, kids. There are some points I still want to add. Please, listen carefully.” “Alright, mum,” the juveniles chorused. Margaret watched the juveniles for a few seconds. She can clearly see the willingness to l
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Rachael stops laughing. She fixes her gaze on Silas and says, “I am not bearing false witness against Amir. Amir is a very wicked man.” Silas smiled for a few seconds. He holds Rachael’s hand and says, “Amir may be evil, but he is still your only brother. Besides, you used to love him before I came into the story.” Rachael withdraws her hand from Silas. She doesn’t accept what Silas said. “Amir has been a wicked brother right from childhood. I had known he didn’t love me. He hates me so much because our parents love me so much.” “And you are not supposed to pay evil for evil.” Silas touches Rachael on the back and says, “God wants us to treat our enemies with love. Amir is your brother for crying out loud.” Rachael looks in the direction of Silas. She stands up from the couch and says, “I wonder what kind of brother he is. I shall be visiting my father on Saturday. Excuse me…” Rachael clutches her phone and leaves the s
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ It is some minutes past 6 in the morning. Mrs. Cora enters the sitting room. She is dressed in a yellow gown. The gown fits Mrs. Cora very much. It makes her look like a woman in her 30s. After sitting for five minutes, Mrs. Cora stands up from the couch and leaves the sitting room. She enters the bathroom and picks up a toothbrush. This toothbrush is green in color. Mrs. Cora uses the brush to brush her teeth softly. She ensures the movement of the toothbrush up and down her mouth. She looks at her teeth via the mirror as she brushes her teeth. When she is satisfied with the color of her teeth, she stops brushing her teeth. She drops the toothbrush beside the toothpaste and rinses her teeth with clean water. A few seconds later, Mrs. Cora leaves the bathroom for the sitting room. When she gets to the sitting room, she sits down on the couch and begins to observe the sitting room. She can see how the sitting room is arrange
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Malam Yusuf watches Silas. He knows that Silas doesn’t want to say a word. “And why are you keeping quiet? Did I say anything wrong?” Silas looks at Malam Yusuf for several seconds and refuses to utter a word. Malam Yusuf was looking at Silas too and awaiting a reply from Silas. “What would you like to take, sir? We have soft drinks. “Don’t be silly, young man. Do I look like one who has come here to beg? You must be stupid to say that.” Silas looked at Malam Yusuf sadly. He was pained by what Malam Yusuf said. Right from the time that he opened the door for Malam Yusuf, he knew that he would face war from Malam Yusuf. He wishes he hadn’t opened the door for Malam Yusuf. He would have enjoyed peace of mind. Silas prays by heart for Malam Yusuf to leave for home sooner or later. Besides, Silas will be leaving for work later. “I am sorry if you are angry at my words,” Silas said. “And where is your silly wife?” “Silly wife? Bu

I think l like him so much now.” Rachael finds Rose’s words to be funny. She laughs for one minute and says, “I would be glad if you kept liking him.” “Why did you say so?” Rose said with keen interest. “Nothing. It’s just a prayer.” After discussing in Rachael’s office for about twenty minutes, Rose leaves for her own office. She tells Rachael that she will return during the lunch hour before she leaves for her own office. As soon as Rose leaves the office, Rachael’s phone rings. Rachael wonders who the caller can be. He picks up the phone from the table and glances through the screen at the phone. To his greatest surprise, the caller was Silas. Rachael wonders why Silas would call him on the phone at this time of the day. Rachael speaks but he can’t hear anything from the
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ The sitting room is covered with silence. Silas and Rachael are gazing at Malam Yusuf, hoping to hear from him. After looking at the couple closely for three minutes, Malam Yusuf says, “What did you tell Ava’s dad?” “Ava’s dad. Who is Ava?” Rachael said, surprised. “Don’t be silly. How many Avas do you know?” “Are you talking about Amir’s wife?” “Yes, of course,” Malam Yusuf said. “I don’t even know Ava’s dad. I haven’t seen him before. I don’t know where he resides.” “Stop the lies, Rachael. Margaret told me that you know Ava’s dad very well.” “That’s a lie. Margaret must be very stupid to have said that.” “How can Margaret bare false accusations against my wife?” Silas said sadly. “You called that a false accusation? If you are fooled, you cannot fool me too. Well, we learned that Rachael told Ava’s dad that Amir used Ava for ritual.” “I never said that! That’s a lie. How will I tell Ava’s dad such a thing?” “But everyone
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Amir looks at Mrs. Cora closely and says, “In the message, Ava’s father says he now believes that I used her daughter for ritualism because someone told him. He said I should show my innocence only if I am not guilty of the offence. I don’t know what to do now.” Mrs. Cora can hear Amir very well. She thinks for a few minutes. She stands up and moves closer to Amir. Sitting beside Amir on the couch, Mrs. Cora says, “If anyone doesn’t believe you, at least, we believe you.” “Yes, we do!” Malam Yusuf said from where he was sitting. “And how do I confuse Ava's dad to believe me?” Amir said slowly, looking in the direction of Mrs. Cora. Mrs. Cora keeps quiet for one minute. She must be thinking about what to say next. “Well, Ava’s dad could go to hell for all we care. All I know is that you will be vindicated.” “Yes, you will!” Malam Yusuf said. “How? Just tell me, mum.” “You are our only son and we won’t allow anything to happen
