I attended the most expensive school, Am in jss 3 and very soon I will be writing my junior waec.
My mother Clara divine was a house wife because my father refused her to work, reason was that he want her to take care of the home but he make sure she doesn’t lack money, every end of the month, my father would transfer money into her account, according to him he said that, is her salary for taking care of the home, and this does not include money for the house keep.
My mother was one of the lucky woman to have a man like my father who loved and cherished her, I was my daddy’s pet we are fond of each other and because of this people do call me daddy’s girl, iam tall, smart and beautiful, my dream is to be a doctor when I finish my education and my father promise to be there for me to make sure I achieve my dream and to be great in life, he also told me that after my secondary school that I Will further my education in abroad.
.
But one day something terrible happened which I will never forget, My father travelled to UK for a business meeting, on the day he was returning back to Nigeria, their plane had a crash and everyb©dy in the plane died including my father, that day was the saddest day I will never forget, my mother and I cried and cried until their was no more tears to shed. My father was a loving and caring man, he was one in a million, I never imagined my life without my father, I still couldn’t believe that my dad had left us, I couldn’t accept the fate that he was gone, I wished all this was a dream, I cried all day and night thinking about the death of my lovely father, I felt as if my world was coming to an end but my mother was always there to console me, OMG my father was too nice for death to take away, why is it that death always take the good ones, while the wicked one’s live longer than the good ones, that is the question I keep on asking myself but got no answer to it.
.
Two months later after the death and burial of my father, my mother bec@m£ in charge of my father’s company, although at first it wasn’t easy for her because my father’s younger brother uncle Maxwell have been trying everything possible to take all my father’s properties, according to him he said that my mother didn’t bear any son for my father that according to tradition that he is the one to inherit his late brother’s properties but my mother been the smart woman she was took the case to court and from there the court warned my uncle to stay away from my father properties and that was how my mother bec@m£ in charge of my father’s properties including his company, I was very happy that my uncle didn’t succeed in his plan by taking over my father’s properties.

One evening, I was in my room re-ading my book when my mother c@m£, as she saw me re-ading she smiled and sat beside me.
“Mum! is everything okay, this one you are smiling “I had asked
yes my sunshine, everything is okay, just that anytime I see you re-ading am very happy and proud of you, you reminded me of my youth, I was the most brilliant student in my own time and I c@m£ out with a flying colors after my education, which I want you to take after me, when your father was alive, he always wished for you to be a doctor and he promised to make that come true, hmm….. but too bad he is no more, my daughter, all hope are not gone, as far as I your mother is still alive, you will achieve your dream of becoming what you want to be, all you have to do is to be a good girl and consectrate on your studies, don’t allow anything to distract you, pls my daughter, you are all I have and I want you to promise me that you will always be a good girl “my mother said
mum! you know that have always been a good girl and I also promised dad when he was alive that I will be a good girl, I love you mum and I promise that I will always be the good girl you want me to be, and also make you proud “I as-sured my mother and she was very happy and she embr@ce me with tears dropping from her eyes.
.
Two years later, my mother find love again in Kinsley and they both started d@t!ng, Kinsley was one of the worker in my late father’s company, I mean he was the accountant in the company, he was younger than my mom, like they said love is blind and age doesn’t matter in a relationsh!pbecause is just a number. my mother was five years older than Kinsley, they don’t care about their age differences, all they know is that they are in love, As they were d@t!ng, not too long Kinsley proposed to my mother which she gladly accepted and from there they got married. I was happy to see my mother married again because ever since my father died she wasn’t the happy woman she used to be before, but after she met Kinsley and got married to him she bec@m£ happy again. Not that l like uncle Kinsley, just that am only concerned of my mother’s happiness.
.
Some days after the marriage between my mother and her new husband Kinsley, he moved in with us in my late father’s house, at first I didn’t like the idea of him living with us, but my mother told me that is just for temporary that he will not live with us for long that he is building his own house that very soon he will finish with it and both of them will move out to his new house, while I will stay in my late father’s house that she will bring a maid for me which I believe what my mother said without knowing that she was lying to me.
“mum! I thought you told me that your new husband was building a house that very soon he will finish with it, it’s been almost one year now and he is still living in my late father’s house “I had said to her
“yes my child you are right, the thing is that the people building the house for him have not yet finish with it, I know you don’t like him but don’t worry they will soon finish with it and we will move out from here to his house “my mother responded, she knew that I don’t like him for one bit because I see him like a gold digger and opportunies
“ok mum, if you say so because you know is not proper for uncle Kinsley to be living in my father’s house because it doesn’t show respect to my father, even though he is dead he still deserve some respect “I said
“I know my child, like I said before he will soon finish building his house and he will move out””
As all this was going on, uncle Kinsley or should I say my step father have refused to move out from my father’s house, it seems as if his so called house he was building was taking eternity to build, so I had no choice but to let him be.

One morning, I was preparing to go to school, when my mother told me that she wanted to have a word with me, so I sat down to know what she wanted to say.
“PAMELA! I know you must be wondering why I called you……
Is like she re-ad my mind “I thought to myself while listening to what she wanted to say, then she continue “you know Kingsley is now my husband, and he have equal right with me “she said and I was confused on where she was heading to
“Mum! I don’t get you, yes I know uncle Kinsley is your husband, but you saying that he have equal right with you, that I do not un-derstand, plea-se explain better mum “I said
Ok, I will explain to you what I mean by that, but first I want you to st©p calling him uncle Kinsley, remember he is your step father, and from today onwards, I want you to be calling him dad “She said and I was surprised, why will my mother want me to be calling another man dad, just because he’s her husband
“No mum, I can’t call uncle Kingsley dad because he is not my father and cannot take my father’s place in my hea……….
“But I love you like my daughter, why can’t you do the same thing to me “uncle Kingsley said as he walked in, apparently he was evadropping on our conversation
“Why on Earth do you want me to call you dad? I asked him
Because you are like a daughter to me “he responded smiling, while my mother nodded in agreement of what he said
“I don’t know why I dislike this man, look at how he is smiling like someb©dy who have gone nut, anyway if calling him dad will make my mother happy I will do it, I love my mother so much and I don’t want anything to make her sad, but Kingsley bear it in mind that I don’t like you “I thought to myself self before speaking out “Ok mum, I will do as you said “I responded and my mother was happy, while uncle Kingsley smiled
“Thank you my daughter, but the main reason why I called you is to tell you that Kinsley my husband will be take control of the company, what I mean is that he will be the new CEO of RD company, remember he now have equal right with me “my mother told me and I was very shocked of what she was saying because is too sudden
“What! that can’t be true “I said in disbelief
“yes Pamela, he will be the new CEO of the company, I know he can handle it more than I do, that was why I want to put him in charge of the company and besides he is my husband “she said and I was speechless, I can’t believe my mother want to make uncle Kinsley the new CEO of the company, the company my late father laboured for, that my mother want to put another man in charge just because he’s her husband, uncle Kinsley was just there smiling, I know he’s happy of becoming the new CEO, I took my bag and left for school sad without saying anything.
