Must Read: Love and Revenge - Season 2 - Episode 46

☆☆
FIVE YEARS LATER.

‘you fool! How did u get urself pregnant! What kind of nonsense is dis? Arent u big enof to know d use of a condom?’ Rebecca barked ‘how many of ur colleagues had ended up pregnant? Why must ur case be different Fiona? Of what breed are u?’
Fiona winced. It wasnt her fault dat she was pregnant right now. Rebecca had been terribly sick d past few weeks and she needed money to pay for her treatments, she couldnt afford to lose Rebecca, she was all she had.

And dat was why she gave into that man’s strange request of sleeping with her without a condom for eight rounds and paying her fifty thousand naira.

She had never earned dat amount of money even for a day even after sleeping with five to six men a day. And so she had made use of the opportunity.

But now, her aunt was blaming her. When she was d one to introduce her to d business of prostitution….when she was d one who had encouraged her dat day to sleep with as many men as possible just so she could bring money home for her treatment, when she had been d one to use up all of d money.
Since she started working as a call worker, she hadnt had any money to herself. Rebecca had always siezed d money and no matter how she had tried to hide it, Rebecca always found it.

She had cried so much d past few days, her eyes had refused to bring out more water.
‘why are u dis shameless? How are u going to raise dis useless child u’ve chosen to bring into dis world? Tell me, how? How are u going to explain to d child of d womb who d father is? Do u even know d father?!’
‘aunty….d condom we used broke, we didnt know until we finished’ Fiona stammered….dat was d only way she could think of escaping Rebecca’s rants.
‘dats because u are not intelligent enough……see, i did dis business for seven years before i met Efe and i know when d condom has broken or not…..and immediately after d sex, i take necessary precautions, either i take drugs or i wash myself! Infact i always have an expensive and durable condom in my bag and d men must buy it from me, if they choose not to use dat particular condom i sell, den there’s no deal. I was wise! I sold condoms, even to other call workers and customers, i used one stone to kill two birds. I was making money and also taking precautions. Cant u be as wise as me? Cant u also work as a call girl and do business, or do u want to be a call girl all ur life?!’ Rebecca thundered not bothering if neighbours were hearing her or not.
Fiona looked down at her toes. How would she have money to trade when Rebecca always seized all d money she made from prostitution.

‘you are so shameless! I am saying dat d situation of d country is hard and if not for d money u bring in daily, we barely feed and u are trying to add one more mouth….infact, dont let me lay a curse on u Fiona’
‘do what u want to aunty!’ Fiona looked around, who just said that, certainly it wasnt her. She didnt have d courage to or did she? She further surprised herself however when she spoke more ignoring d look of surprise mixed with shock in her aunty’s eyes.
‘all my life, i have laboured for u aunty! I have hawked for u, i have struggled for u, even stolen for u aunty. Y cant u appreciate my efforts for once aunty? I’ve never argued with u for once, i always do whatever u say….but when i do it and d outcome becomes bad, u turn all d blame on me? Who put me to dis? Who put me to sleeping with different men to earn money? U aunty. And who enjoys all d benefits? U aunty. I became unlucky and got pregnant, there’s a way to scold me to correct me….but no! U are just trying to make me look bad and foolish when u know i’m in dis situation because of u. What have i done to be treated dis way? What have i done to deserve all dis maltreatment from u? Why are u dis wicked aunty? Fyn, i’m not ur blood but uncle Efe had looked upon me lyk i was his daughter, y cant u do d same? I am not telling u to treat me d way u treat Tega and Juli….but at least try to be fair for once! Do not sieze every opportunity to remind me of how useless i am….even though i’m not useless…..at least to u’ She stormed into d house.
She was having none of it anymore. She was leaving dis house, she had no one but she was confident Shola was going to help her. He was her best friend and brother, he showered her with love, no one except her late immediate family had showered on her. Surely, he would take her in, afterall he lived alone and had no responsibilities.
Or so she thought.

Life didnt always go as planned. D people we think cares may actually be d people who do not care one bit.
