I opened my eyes at the tap of my mums hand, Amara wake up u have to go to ur husband’s house. I felt a bit hot and feverish.

Amara ur husband have sent someone to come and pick up, she said.
my heart beat has increased with fear. she touched my head coming instantly to my neck. my God ur temperature is too high are u sick my dear? jumping at once.
” am fine mama” I Murmured .
you are hot as a boiling kettle. u can’t go anywhere today let me get u some drugs, I will tell the guy to come and get u tomorrow she said quickly.
No mama I will leave this place today.
she frowned, u are not well Amara let my take care of u I know that useless husband if urs will not do anything she said with anger.
Her anger was starting to irritate me, whether u like it or not am leaving this this today. I have sighed the contract of marriage and it high time I stop postponing the inevitable and start leaving the life I have sighed up for. I tried to stand up, hiding my slight discomfort, my tummy hadn’t started showing because I was two month gone. but as I sat up I could not with stand the dizziness I felt I shut my eyes fie some second until I felt safe to open them.
“” pls be reasonable Amarachi mum said as I put my legs on my slippers.
am the only one reasonable here mama. I stopped. wait am the most unreasonable and senseless person on earth, but I knew mama that marriage to copper is the most foolish thing I have done, I turns my hurt face to her. even God knows I have made a grt mistake and I don’t deserve forgiveness. do I have to spend the rest if my life paying for one mistake?? I cried when I discovered that copper was a wicked man, I was ready to take care of the child alone , I wanted to, I only needed the support of my parents even if it where only u. but u didn’t support me mama u could not stand up to ur husband u never could even when am ur only child. now I have done what papa wants me to do. please don’t try to stop me, because I will not listen to u.
opened the door leaving my mum white faced with tears running down her face. I knew I was transforming my anger to her I was but I couldn’t help my self. I have blamed my self too much for my misfortune.

dad stood up as he saw me coming my sweet daughter u have done well and am proud of u. I looked at him . ” what” something is wrong somewhere was this not the man making my life a leaving hell some hours back.
my daughter this kind of opportunity hardly comes by, if not for the fact I didn’t perceive the smell of achol I could have said he is drunk.my child I know I have been hard on u but it for a good course. u know am lucky having u as a daughter and stop beating ur self over this pregnancy issues it a gift from God. it the key to our break through. look gal u are very . God has just answered our prayers, unknowingly u have taking our family from gulter and u have placed us in the palace.

What are u saying papa?””
what I just heard from my father’s mouth was too much to bear, so this has been his plans ever since?? my mum came towards us looking at us surprise.
I entered into the car and we drove off to the coppers house, the car entered a large compound leaving me breathless it was not as big as his fathers house but the design was too beautiful. I instantly feel out of place.
when the car was finally parked I stepped out of it looking frozen am I excepted to live here??..
how would I cope with it. I had slept in the BQ in the senator house even that was too much luxury for me.
The driver took my sack of cloths with two fingers like a trash leading me to the massive house. I was right the house is beautiful a young pretty gal about my age approach me with a apron tied around her waist gave her my bag and left me standing with her.

Hello she said, as if she was talking to a child.

Mr Alex told me u where coming and that should show u to ur room . she explained I smiled and followed her lead.

She lead me thru a narrow passage in silence as it occur to me that she might be a staff. still in the narrow passage, we passed two doors facing each other and took three step before the gal stop. she opened the door I followed her inside there was a mattress on the floor enough to fit in one person.

the gal smiled oh pls forgive my manners am Tina you will meet another gal called tola, a the Cook and she’s the cleaner my room is opposite urs am sure u are Amara.

yes I am” pls where is Oga room?? I asked her or does he stay in one of the rooms we passed.

she laughed off course no his room is upstairs his toilet is even bigger than the room we the staff stay.

What the hell is going on here , before I could voice out my fear. we heard a car horned and the gal ran out saying Oga is here I need to serve his food he asked me not to talk to u .pls don’t tell him I did.

I stood still feeling really bad , so am to stay with the maid in my own husband house. it can’t be real this has to stop. I didn’t know how long I stood at the middle of the room but suddenly the door got opened I turned around to see Alex coming inside he entered and closed the door behind him.

I see you have fulling sitted, since u forcefully pushed ur way into my life. let me make the rules in this house u are in this house as a maid not a wife, don’t ever mention to any one we sigh any contract of marriage. or worse u are carrying something of mine in that ur tummy he said with disgust. every one here has been informed that u are a maid here and that is what u would remain here. u will join tola in doing the cleaning and house chores I don’t want u in the kitchen I don’t want my food infected. do u understand me?
I was dumbfounded, how do u expects me to be a maid in my husband house copper? what did I ever do to u??
getting pregnant was ur offence.
