Well the thing is that I will tell of the little I know of mum and her spirit man Stella said to us with pains in her eyes.
I and my husband was too curious to know everything so that we will know what next to do.
My sister looked at me before commencing……… * you know we are just three, I, Stephen and Adaoma here been our youngest. Mum is so secretive and lives almost an isolated life except for her job which she takes very serious and devoted all her life to, although very wealthy, beautiful with an air of dominance, yet de-ep within her she’s not happy as a fulfilled woman… She kept her distance from people even though people loves to a-ssociate with her but she doesn’t really give anyone much chance to get so close to her private life.
We as her children, she gave us the best of every thing we have ever wanted but still keeps her distance from us especially you Stacy, she behaves like some one who has something in her cupboard and that thing is so eating her up but sharing it with anyone is so difficult for her to do and seems as if been related to anyone, the person might catch a plague or be a victim of something he or she knows nothing about.
Dad and mum was very close friends, they were good couple although there are times they fight also.
After your birth mum changed more and even became more distanced, she didn’t really take proper care of you like us that came before you, Her fears increased and her smiles and joy could be counted just like 12345…..Dad even became more worried about mums way of life and the kind of lonely and depressed life she’s constantly and de-eply falling into.
I could vividly remember that when you was just two years old, mum planned on giving you away to a woman who was confirmed by the doctors that her womb cannot carry a child in her entire life.
What!! I and my husband exclaimed in unison
Thank God for our maid then, Aunty Anita who overheard her conversations and disclosed it to dad and dad stopped her.
Stopping her was not easy because she even tried it again, pretending that you are very sick and needed medical attentions so that she’s taking you to hospital. so unfortunately when she comes back she came home alone without you and when we asked about you… She burst out into crocodile tears that the doctor injected you and your system was too weak to accommodate the injection and you died.
Oh my God! that woman is so cruel, I hate her even in her dead… I said, tears gushing down from my eyes.
But why was she doing all that to her child? My husband asked unbelievably.
Please I will only continue this if I receive no further interruptions or else I quit it half way, Stella said.
We have no option but to agree with her rules although knowing how impossible that would be.
What was I saying previously she asked us pretending to have forgotten where she stopped.
I was too occupied with my sorrows and hatred that I have equally forgotten where she stopped. Thank God for my husband who was actively listening.
You stopped at your mums narrative lies of my wife’s death.
Oh yah my sister said smiling.
Well….
I heard her say…..

My dad could not believe what he just heard, he was so mad and requested for the hospital name so that he will sue them for injecting his daughter to death but my mom begged him to forget it that the deed is been done already, my dad refused to take no for an answer.
At that moment, mums phone was continuously ringing and she refused to take her calls, on the next ring my dad picked the call,
The calls was from the motherless baby where she dropped you off. They only called to inform her that she forgot to take her own part of written and signed agreement, that was how it was discovered that you were not actually dead.
Oh my gosh! This is getting me all pissed off, my heart ache and bleeds in pains, I tried to say something but my husband stopped me reminding me of stella’s warnings so I kept mute in pains and continue listening to the story of my miserable and tormented life..
So, my sis continued,
When finally dad got you back, he threatened to charge mum for a-ssault and attempting murder if she refused to say the reasons why she so wanted you out of her life so badly, it was then she told him about it all…..
My curiosity to know the reason why my mom abhors me so much gets in the way and I broke my sis rules of no questions, so i asked her
So why did the woman hate me so terribly?
My sis only smiled and told me that she’s coming to that part.
I kept quite my ear still itching to know why and hear everything.
Have you not wondered why you are are answering ADAOMA when you are not actually the first child of the family?
I have wondered about that several times, even when I tried to stop bearing it yet people won’t stop calling me that so that was why I continued to answer it… My husband cuts in
Honestly, even I have pondered on that several times, because I know that anyone that bears ADA is always the first daughter of the family but the reason why she’s been called ADA while she’s not actually the first daughter was strange to me, I have asked her that also but she simply said that’s the name her parents gave to her, that’s why she’s bearing it but to me it doesn’t make sense. That’s why I never addressed her in that name not even for once.
Hmm! Well I will tell you the reasons now and clear your confusion said my elder sister…
After mums various attempts to keep you out of her life and each of them proves futile, so mum gave a strict order that every one should address you as ADAOMA, since dad agreed to the decision for you to bear the name we then have no option than to call you that.
I later found out from dad after much persuasions and disturbance he has no option than to tell me. He said that mum named you ADAOMA because you was the first daughter of a great Kingdom far away and you have many daughters and and sons, maids and servants, many people are under you, you are like a queen in a world far beyond.
God forbid! I blurted out…..
Hahaha! my sister laughed. What is God forbidden? she doesn’t mean in your current life, she meant in your previous life just like reincarnation or something they used to believe during the olden days which we now calls superstitious believes………. So mum wanted to give you away for fear that you are inherent to it saying that she saw the signs during your birth or whatsoever.
This is ridiculous, how can it be true, sis Stella everything was mums fault, she was supposed to seek for solutions rather she didn’t, what type of mother could ever see her child in such predictional believes and just folds her hand and watch instead of seeking for solutions, she’s lucky that she’s dead already if not I will strangle her with my bare hands… I said as anger floods down my whole body!
My wife said she once caught her mother crying and causing her self for the death of her husband. Are you aware of that too? My husband asked in such a way that he is almost broken in everything my sister has been saying.
Oh yah she said that on several occasions…. I believe it was her spiritual husband that killed my father.
What!! I and my husband shouted in bewilderment!!!

EPISODE 11
Written by ✍️ Chidinma Ihemenandu
Yes my sister said making a straight face. Mum has always said that is her fault that she lost her husband. Most often she talks all alone by herself to someone invisible but can only be seen by her…. They always engage in hot arguments like.
It’s all your fault, SAN, you broke our agreement, how dare you tamper with my husband, you know that I love him so much yet you took him away from me… Your jealousy gets into your head, you was envious of him despite the fact I always gives you everything that you have ever wanted… I gave you myself, my body and love, I even gave you children of your own yet you were not satisfied with it, you still went ahead with my husband, you took him away, some one that meant every thing to me you took him.
That’s what she will keep blabbing, she shouts and screams most at times without considering the fact that she wasn’t alone in the house.
Her argument with her spiritual husband always gets tougher and hotter by the day after our father’s demise…. Some times she will challenge him yelling like this.
Oh you demon! you dare not try that, you dare not tamper with any of my kids, my husband is a mistake but if you dare try it with any of my kids! I will make you pay for it beyond measures…… Get out of my life, I am done with you!
She will shout and bang the door of her room then walks into the kitchen and drink almost half a gallon of milk and chill waters….. I tried convincing mum to talk to me about it but she will only end up yelling at me to stay off her private life if I love my life.
I could remember seeing the spiritual husband thrice or there about. Hisa tall huge man, black and with bears all over his face, not handsome or Ugly either… He has this odour of, emmm! I don’t know how to describe it…. When ever his around I perceive it even without out seeing him.
As often times I tried to say something, my husband will motion me to keep quiet because he doesn’t want to cut short or intrude in my sister tells, but within me I have got a lot of questions to ask, like why did I have to be the victim, why did mum not find a solution to stop that demon, why did she allow him to mesmerized her life, how can I kill him so that he will stop tormenting me…. My sister cuts in into my thoughts as she continues with her tell of my mums miserable and tormented life.
There was a time I and our house help, then I was in year2 in the University, we planned on finding solutions without my mums knowledge, just a day before we will embark on our journey, my mom called both of us and sternly warn us to stay out of her path and not to try anything stupid that we cost our lives…. I was dumbfounded and dead struck on how she finds out what we were planning to do because our discussion towards finding a remedy didn’t take place in the house but on our way to market.
That’s weird! my husband said.
Yah is freaking me out, how could she be so cruel that I’m now paying or facing what I know nothing about, I said sobbing and holding unto my husband.
I think mum was too weak to fight back, there was a lot of commitments she made with the monster……. Some times I wonder if she did those things in our favor or she did them out of her weakness.
She did nothing for our favor, she’s too weak and timid to stand up for herself… Oh how I hate her, how I hate to be conceived in her wicked womb…. How I hate to exist in this wicked world…. Why me! Why me God! I cried out in pains and agony. I am afraid for my baby and wouldn’t want her to experience any bit of this torments in her life, I will do everything to make sure she’s free once she comes into this world… Even if it means risking my life for hers to be a torments free life…. I said meaning every single word I said.
Hey honey every thing will be fine, both you and your baby will be free and alive OK… My hubby said a-ssuring me to be strong.
I’m damn hungry again, my sister said standing up,… Crying won’t solve anything Lil sis, you just have to be strong for you and your baby and have faith every thing will be alright. Meanwhile lemme get some food from the kitchen because my throat is dry and stomach empty from talking… When I returns I shall tell you how mum died, she said and walked to the kitchen.
Hmmmm m…. Horrible!
