…..looking at Andy in pains, I didn’t know what to do,I couldn’t leave either, I do not know anywhere around..,.I reached for his phone,and searched for Madam golds no, I called her and she picked, I told her Andy was in pains,,,,,she obviously knew where we were,she was with us in no time, in company of two guys,,he was rushed to a medical center,thankfully it was a minor injury,,,, Madam Gold was very mad at me,I was beaten by one of the guys, after which,the other guy was made to r@p£ me in the pres£nce of everyone in the house, some held my hands, others my leg that was wi-de open like a woman in labour room, he had me until he was satisfied, I cried in aguish, it felt like my heart st©pped beating,I pas-sed out,,,oh I was happy I had died,that the pains were over at last,not until I was revived, oh how I hated to be alive….I was like a person shouting alone in the wilderness, the more I asked for help,the more broken I was,,,I begged madam gold to call my mother,I had honestly thought I would die, I just wanted to hear Gracie’s voice before my last breath,,, she obliged, and started telling mom,how disappointed she was in me,that I almost killed her VIP client, mom asked to speak to me, I was very happy, that a word of comfort will console my weeping soul, but immediately mom was on to me, she started shouting

Bella,what’s your problem, why have you chos£n to cause me pain,are you a baby,what’s S-x,that you can not handle, S-x that girls of less your age enjoy, you turn yours to a problem, if it’s to do it for free and keep quiet you can, now that you are to do it to make money and better our lives, you are acting like Mary the mother of Christ,see let me tell you, if Madam golds brings you back to Nigeria, I swear,I will kill you with my ba-re hands,ru-bbish, useless child, she ended the call,she didn’t even hear me out,the only word i said was hello,I didn’t even talk to Grace, it was obvious I was finished…

Days later, Andy was back again, asking for me,getting to his house,he chained my hands to the be-d,and started to ride on me like an horse,there wasn’t anything I could do,so I just allowed him have his way,,,,,

Madam gold was the one feeding and housing me,I wasn’t collecting any money from the clients, they paid directly to her,,, Not too long I made a friend amongst the girls.

Itohan was two years older than me, she was 18,she would always encourage me, she had come freshly when she was 17,apparently a year ago,her parents weren’t even aware she had left home, she only called to tell them were she was, some months after she had arrived, mean while her parents back home were looking for her, and had declared her missing,, she just finished her waec according to her, and she was Somehow linked to madam gold, and decided she wanted to come to Italy,,, I was just starring at her as she spoke, indeed life is a misery, what one person so much de-sire,is what another calls rag,so you mean you had a perfect and complete family, your both parent living together, you just finished high school, your parent were re-ady to s£nd you to higher institution, yet you chose this path,,,I asked in surprised

of course yes,,,this is having fun and ma-king money too she had replied me,,,I managed to fake a smile,

well my dear, what you had was perfect,, even in my imperfect life, I didn’t chose this path, my mom did,,,,

Well ,you are here alre-ady,you just have to deal with it, you been stubborn will do you more harm than good, madam gold

is a rootless person,if anything happens to you here, you will have yourself to blame,…

Tanks IT, that’s Itohan for short….

I soon had my own phone,and the first person I called was dad, but his no wasn’t connecting, I was really worried this time,it’s been months, what could be going on,I called mom,who happens to be very proud of me this day’s, madam gold was s£nding money to her every now and then

have you heard from dad, has he come visiting, I asked

no ohhh,that one, I have always told you he is good for nothing, he doesn’t love us, he doesn’t care either, plea-se forget him,and focus on your sister and I, we are the only ones who truly and really love you,,,

Those words of yours are not true mom,and you know it,the only persons that loves me genuinely are my sister and father,for dad to have stayed this long without coming to check on us simply means something is wrong,you only claim to love me now because money has been coming your way,,,plea-se give the phone to Grace I said.

Gracie are how you doing?

Bellaaaaa,am fine,how are you, I have really missed you,mom told me you are doing great there, that you work in a big supermarket, you live like a queen, Bella, come and take me too, I want to be there,,,,

Oh mother,I thought within,she has painted a Paradise picture of my life in Europe, ma-king my baby sister wished she was here,oh if only she knew the hell I was living in….

Gracie, I managed to speak,don’t believe anything mom tells you about Italy, it isn’t as exciting as she is ma-king it sounds,,,plea-se,don’t think of coming here,just focus on your studies, I will work ha-rd ,just so you can go to any university of your choice,and study any course you so de-sire, promise me Gracie, plea-se promise me you will work ha-rd and make me proud,you are my source of inspiration, you are my drive, I endure all pains just so I can put smiles on your face,plea-se Gracie, be the woman I wasn’t able to be,,

One more thing,do not Allow any one t©uçh you like uncle Clement did,I may be far from you,but i am close to you,your big sister is always here to listen whenever you nee-d someone to talk to,just flash me,and I will call you back,

plea-se Gracie,,,,

I was alre-ady in tears, so was she,it felt like the time I was leaving for Europe,,, my sister was my all…..

I have alre-ady resigned to my fate and destiny, I was slee-ping with different men,at least five a day,on some good days as we called it, I could have S-x with 8_10 men a day, doing all sought of thing, the pains was still in me, despite how I tried to come to terms with it, I knew this wasn’t the life I planned, and it was heart broken living a life I didn’t intend to, no thanks to my mom…..

I am a beautiful girl, at least so they say, my beauty attra-cted so many men to me,its been 18months,and I was doing well in my payment, I had gone far in paying madam gold,I was also a very good girl,I would take care of the whole house, sweep,mop,clean and Cook especially during weekends,I hadn’t lost my respect either, these and many more,made madam gold loved me,she decided to reduce my payment to 6millon,but it was between me and her,she had taken me like a daughter…

You are a good child, with such an amazing personality, you don’t deserve all these,your mother is Just too greedy to see the blessing she has as a child,,,,

thank you very much madam gold….

Its been two years,and I am done paying..

I was now working for myself…

…working for myself didn’t really made life so sweet,it only meant more responsibilities,I was Now fully responsible for my upkeep and every other thing,never the less, I was working ha-rd ..
I was really working on my do¢v-ments, to be a citizen,I wanted to be free to register in a good fashion home,,,,
I was s£nding money to mom,to make sure Grace was in a good school and that she was well taken care of,,I also asked after dad,i was told he c@m£ once and was told I had travelled abroad,,,, according to Grace dad didn’t take it lightly at all…
“Isoken,what did you s£nd our daughter overseas to do,for heaven’s sake that girl is too young to travel abroad, what in heavens name will she be doing there, she has no handiwork, no educational decree,isoken why did you chose to sell my daughter into slavery,, your own flesh and blood “dad had said….
Well she’s my child And I know what’s best for her,,,mom said,,
ohhh so you think prostitution is what’s best for her,dad cried and he walked out, thankfully Grace ran after him,,,,
Daddy,plea-se st©p crying,,,,
my child he had hvgged her,,,why did your sister betrayed the trust i had in her,why would she do this ,,,haven’t she be listening to all I have been saying,,,,
Oh no dad,Ivie didn’t betray you,she never wanted to go,you know how mom can be, mom didn’t allow her a moment of peace,she tried several times to reach you,but your phone wasn’t connecting,,,
my child,the last two years has not been easy,I didn’t forget you two,neither was I avoiding you,I was involved in an accident on my way to Lagos for business,I have been paralysed,, I was referred to Ibadan, I called your mom but she ignored my calls because she knew her plans and wanted to execute it ,I texted your mom and told her my condition,, I c@m£ back from Ibadan hospital even though I wasn’t sound enough when I heard Bella had travelled, I wanted to confirm,your mother has killed me, dad said,
give bella my new no, he added and carefully went away,he wasn’t fully sound yet Grace said,,,,,,
I wept bitterly at all dad had went throu-gh, unfortunately I wasn’t there to be by his side,I called dad, and he was very happy to hear from me,I told him how sorry I was to have went on a path he never wanted for me,I did it because I was helpless and had no one to speak up for me… He forgave me and said he knows how mom can be when trying to make someone do her bidding…he made me promise I will quite that illegal lifestyle of mine and look for something different,,, I knew I couldn’t promise that immediately, but I told dad,I was working on it..
Indeed I did not like slee-ping with different men for money, but I had to get my do¢v-ments and all intact before I can register in a fashion school.,I wanted to start building, but dad refused saying he wouldn’t want anything to do with my dollars,so that mom can let him be..mom wouldn’t want dad to be in charge of the building that I know,So we decided to allow her,but once a while,dad was going to see how far they’ve went..
I was alre-ady 22,my building was completed,mum and dad s£nt me pictures and it was perfect, they had the house warming in my abs£nt and mom and Grace moved in….I had gotten my do¢v-ments and had st©pped my S-x work life,I was doing legal jobs,even though they don’t pay as much,but it was okay,I also attended fashion school at night and on weekends I was doing very well alre-ady too, been that I had ideas from Nigeria,…life was beginning to make s-en-se.
Grace was trying to gain admission into the university, she had written JAMB twice,she had pas-sed but wasnt given her course,she wanted to be a doctor,but she had been given related courses,but had rejected the admissions.and was still trying,I would always encouraged her that she would be given her rightful course soon only an extra effort was required.
We were doing fine,at least so I had thought.
until one evening i saw a Nigerian no repeatedly flashed me ,I called back and it was Grace,,,
Hello Bella,she said in tears,,
what is It,I asked out of panic..
She could ba-rely talk,but managed to explain to me..
My mom was having her lover lived with them,and the guy had R@p£d her,,,,I was very angry,I quic-kly picked up my phone,and called dad,,,I told him what had happened, and that he should get the bastard arrested, I was furious, because I was reminded of the past I was fighting so ha-rd to forget… Grace was at her friend’s house,where she made the call,dad called her and together they went to the station,,,
Soon they c@m£ back with some officers,,but neither the ra-pist nor mum was around, soon we saw a note somewhere that mom had written.
It re-ads.
Grace…
Am.sorry to disclose this like this
I have gone outside the country with my lover,life is too short not to enjoy,,,
I love my life,and am willing to live it to the fullest. If you can’t live alone, you could go live with your dad,or asked your sister to come take you to Europe.
Your mother.
I couldn’t believe my ears,what a mother we have,, I knew my sister nee-ds me,so I started contemplating on coming to visit….
Gracie had started living with dad, as the house was too big for only her…
Some how I was happy mom had left our lives,,,but how would she take care of herself ,I mean financially, I have been the one taking care of all the bills in the house, even down to soap, well maybe her lover is well to do i had thought.
Soon my sister was sick,she was losing appetite,, her br£@st getting bigger,she could ba-rely do anything, so I asked dad to take her to the hospital for some check up and test,getting there,some test were ran on her,.
The result soon c@m£ out
Lo and behold…..
Gracie was PREGNANT….
