My mum fainted.She is here because of that. He put us behind bars for two weeks, denied us access to our lawyer. Not for a policeman who helped us contact a friend, we would have died of hunger.
(People looked on her with so much sympathy.)
-You rendered your own mother and sisters homeless. Tony get your despicable self out. Tony come ooooooooout, I’m waiting for you and that witch you call wife.
Chinasa ran out.
-sis, she shouted. Whose car is that? Is that not tony’s car? Do you have any money on you? I nee-d to buy fuel and matches Because na to burn this car down they hungry me. If ah burn am finish, i burn their house too, burn down the company and burn them finally.

The men of the sars arrived the hospital. As they esc-rted them out, Susan went to brenda.
-so you feel pain? Brenda, you feel pain? How nice. When you joined f0rç£s with your mum and sister to make my life a living hell, were you not enjoying it? You and your miserable mother and useless sister turned my husband against me. Three times, tony beat my babies out of my wo-mb, Thanks to your mum. I lost my only brother because your mum refused he stayed in our house. He was traveling back that night and had that ghastly accident that later took his life.Till d@t£, my mum doesn’t know that your witch of a mother caused her only son’s death. She kept on working on my husband against me. How i suffered. slee-ping outside for one weak, denying me employment in the family’s company, alot to mention a few. I have not started and you’re ranting. plea-se kill yourselves because as we speak, every property belonging to the NNAJIUDES has been transfered to my NAME. I now call the shoots. I am now the owner of everything. I will not tamper with your lifes but you will beg to die by the time I’m done with you. Every teacher prays for his students to better than he is. Can’t you see i am better in this game now? Incase you want to try anything stupid, i have personally made reports at the police headquarters that you and your family are threats to my life. if anything, i mean anything happens to me, my properties or my husband, even my mum or any of my family members, you will go to JAIL. You can go back to the village, that mansion is just rotting away. YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE LAST OF ME. As for the car, i really do not nee-d that TAXI anymore. Soon I’m getting the newest Mercedes product. Excuse me.
-scre-w you. Witch. brenda shouted. Arrrrrghhhh, what is this? Daddy where are you ? Brenda cried.
-Susan, if you have the guts, face me woman to woman, why moving around with b©dy guards. Gooooooosh!!! Arrrrrghhhh !!!, i can’t believe this. ISHI-ISHI is just a failure. A scam. Aiding some he was helping us destroy. What an irony. Chinasa lamented.
,-you see, you see what you and mum caused? I frowned at it. I refused to join. Now see. You can’t hurt her but she is hurting you. All dad’s properties now in her name. You see?
MADAM SYLVIA WAS DISCHARGED. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET HERSELF A DUPLEX. SHE BEGGED HER DAUGHTERS TO CALM DOWN. THEIR OWN TIME IS COMING.
-There are lots of things that stupid girl does not know about ISHI-ISHI and cannot be told now. I just weep for tony. My heart bleeds for my son and the future of this family.
-how mum? Brenda asked.
-hmmm, it is de-ep and it is heavy. You will not un-derstand. I am un-der an oath not to disclose this t©p secret about ISHI-ISHI to anyone not even a member. Especially those who haven’t gotten to the stage.(crying) each time i remember, i cry for my son. But, it is an opportunity. I will pay back that witch heavily.
Susan got a call that her mum has been KIDNAPPED. They are demanding a ransome of 600 million.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyy people shouted.
Brenda was just shivering. People said they know TERRIBLE, a NOTORIOUS CRIMINAL.
TERRIBLE died at the sp©t.
People started talking about the three dead men at the other of the road. They started rumoring that TERRIBLE was about attacking an UNIDENTIFIED woman, when he turned around and killed his men and ran off.
A woman c@m£ to brenda and took her away from the scene. She took her in her car and was abouting taking her to her house when brenda fainted. She quic-kly rushed her to the hospital.

She contacted her prayer warriors. They were praying and asking God for mercy.
MADAM SYLVIA AND CHINASA COULD NO LONGER BEAR THE PAIN OF BRENDA’S DISAPPEARANCE. THEY DECIDED TO VISIT ISHI-ISHI.
——————AT THE SHRINE ———————-
The priest was furious.
He pla-yed the scene at the hospital where Chinasa called ISHI-ISHI a scam and a failure on his mystic mirror.
-you insult ISHI-ISHI and come back to him for help? Fools. Get out.
-Arrrrrghhhh plea-se, plea-se I’m sorry. Chinasa went on her knees. It was a sl!pof ton-gue. plea-se wise one, help us.
-ISHI-ISHI knows no mercy. Your plea-se can’t change his decisions. ISHI-ISHI can’t help you now.
-Hmmm, if i can’t get help from ISHI-ISHI when i nee-d it that means he no longer nee-ds me around. Madam sylvia said angrily. I have decided to decamp from ISHI-ISHI.
-Hahahahahahaha,,once an ISHI-ISHI always an ISHI-ISHI. I decide who stays and who leaves. But on this matter, i can’t help you. That daughter of yours insulted this great god many a times. I can’t help you.
–IN THE CAR, Madam Sylvia and her daughter discussed—
-i nee-d to visit OKARA. I’m going to the village tomorrow. I am regretting joining ISHI-ISHI because everything he helped me acquire, he helped another to take away from me. It would have been better i never had them atall than to loose them a NOb©dy.
-MUM,chinasa replied, plea-se I’m coming with you. I can’t stay all by myself. plea-se.
-no, you can’t come with me. What if BRENDA returns. Stay with madam Gold my friend.
-ok mum.
They drove off.
SUSAN’S MUM HAS BEEN re-leaseD. SHE WAS FOUND IN AN UNCOMPLETED BUILDING WITH HER HANDS AND LEGS EVEN HER MOUTH DIED. SUSAN Brou-ghT HER INTO HER HOME. IT TOOK WEEKS BEFORE SHE COULD RECOVER FULLY.
BRENDA HAS REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS.
-Where is this place?
-you are in a hospital dear, replied pastor finewine. You have been in coma for three weeks now. We have been praying for you.
-hmmm, how did i get into coma, was there an accident ? And who are you plea-se.
-i am Pastor finewine etim. Do you remember the scene where a man almost killed you with a machete?
-oh my God. (She started crying) you saved me.
-no, i didn’t. The name you mentioned did. That day, i was driving to the saloon. I got to that junction, the Lord spoke to me to pack my car there and cross over to the other side. I should stand and wait, he is s£nding someone that nee-ds help to me. Honestly, it sounded funny. But i have grown to know this God that he works in mysterious ways. My car was the car you leaned on while he tried to stab you. I don’t know why but JESUS LOVES YOU and is very much interested in your soul. He said you nee-d help and he wants to help you. You are not qualified for that mercy he showed you but yet he showed you mercy. Even while you are yet a sinner, he died for you. Give your life to christ dear, let him help you calm this raging storm around you.
-hmmm, thanks ma’am. Sorry, i don’t do church things. Church people irritate me. Thanks for helping me. I can’t be a fanatic.
Pastor mrs etim was speechless.
WHEN YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, ha-rd EN NOT YOUR HEART.
