Must Read: A SECOND CHANCE - Season 2 - Episode 31

Maria sensed danger when Tony barged into her room like a thief, he was visibly angry and his eyes red, like he had been crying and she wondered why.

‘dad….i….wel…welc..ome’ she stammered.
‘dont try to welcome you, you idiot! Foolish tramp, thats what you are Maria!!’ he fired.
Maria was taken aback for some seconds, what did she do wrong? She couldnt remember anything she did that deserved this from her dad.
‘what did i do wrong?’ she asked, confused as hell.

Tony took unsteady steps towards her and she knew instantly that he was drunk.
‘you are drunk dad?’
‘well, isnt it obvious?’ he stopped moving and in a twinkle of an eyes, kicked the mirror stand and falling to the ground, the glass shattered.
Maria ran to the door in fright.
‘dad, whats wrong with you this evening?’
‘i lost her. I lost her and you must pay dearly for this!! I dont care if you are my daughter or anyone, i will just have to kill you!!’ he said as he bent to pick one of the pieces of glass scattered on the floor.

Maria opened the door though still standing there. ‘who left you and how is it all my fault?’
‘Alice. Alice aborted the pregnancy and broke up with me all because of you!!’ he was advancing towards her now, glass still in hand.
Despite her fear, Maria found herself jumping and screaming in happiness ‘yes!! Yes!! Finally, the trash is out of the way!’

That infuriated Tony more than ever and the desire to kill Maria, his one and only daughter was stronger now. He threw the piece of glass her way and Maria successfully docked and it landed on the wall. He picked another and threw it her way and it went outside. Maria took several steps backward till she was out of the room completely.

Then she ran downstairs with Tony chasing after her, barking like a mad dog.
‘stop there you filthy disgraceful daughter of mine! I will kill you today. I must make sure of that, i promise’
‘Rhoda! Rhoda help please!! Help me!!’ Maria screamed in fright as she ran to the kitchen where she met Rhoda and quickly his behind her but it seemed running to the kitchen was a very bad idea because Tony immediately grabbed a knife, threatening to kill Rhoda if she didnt step out of the way now. Rhoda pleaded telling him to calm down while Maria cried behind her.
‘sir please calm down, no matter what she does please dont kill her. She’s your daughter. Na small pikin she be nau’
‘shut up you fool!!’ Tony said as he staggered towards them ‘i hate my life. Happiness is like an enemy to me. My offsprings seem to be the ones who doesnt want me happy. If not for that late b-----d that was supposed to be my second child, Naomi wouldnt have died and now Maria wants to take away my second love from me. Isnt this outrageous? Well, i dont need your answer because right here and now, Maria is gonna drop dead!!’

At this point, Rhoda didnt know if she should run for her own safety or try as much as she could to protect Maria. She feared for her own life and that of Maria as well. It was obvious Tony wasnt in his right senses and could kill Maria, forgetting she was his daughter!!

Maria was a spoilt little brat, yes but that doesnt mean her father should react like this.

She was about thinking of protecting Maria when Tony staggered towards them. Then and now, she knew she needed to run for her life.
Not giving Maria a second thought, she ran out of the kitchen.

Maria whimpered like a child as her father advanced towards her.
‘you made me lose her. She has left me and i will have to kill you now!!’.
The knife was already very close to her stomach when she finaly woke up screaming and sweating.

It was all a dream!
