Life can really throw some unexpected curveballs, can’t it? This is the story of Eva—a young girl who’s been through more pain and heartbreak than anyone should ever have to face. From losing her father at a tender age to enduring unimaginable abuse at the hands of people who were supposed to protect her, Eva’s journey is gut-wrenching, and filled with unimaginable challenges.
But, oh, does she fight! This story isn’t only about the suffering, though. It’s about courage, resilience, and the crazy, chaotic thing we call life. Buckle up, because Eva’s story is intense, emotional, and a battle for survival.
Eva (Addicted – Abuse Story) – Emotional Love Story
Prologue: You know those memories that stick with you, no matter how much you want to forget? For Eva, it all started when her father passed away when she was barely four years old. The pain of that loss never left her, and it only got worse when her mother remarried Samuel, a man who was supposed to be her protector but turned out to be anything but. The abuse started small—a touch here, a slap there—until it escalated into a nightmare that no child should ever endure. She tried to tell her mom, she really did. But instead of finding comfort, her words were dismissed, her fears ignored, and her pain deepened. And just like that, Eva’s life spiraled into a dark, twisted reality.
Episode 1: Eva’s Painful Childhood – From Loss to Abuse
I was barely 4 years old when my father died,
Before he died he told me to always report any body that tries to touch me to him or my mother
my mother Diana remarried , she initially left me with my grandmother but her new husband Samuel advised her to bring me in, he promised to take care of me as his own daughter!
My mother came to my granny’s place, I was happy to see her , she arranged my stuffs and took me home, it was nice meeting with my stepfather and being treated like a queen!
Not too long my mother got pregnant and gave birth to my younger sister,
Imagine being a big sis at 5 years it was a joyful experience seeing my mother bath a tiny little girl , I watched how my mother was very intentional about her, she stopped paying attention to me, I learned how to be independent!
I became seven and started noticing some funny movements from my step father , he’d come to my room when I am dressing up for school, he’ll offer to dress me up and as naive little girl I’d let him dress me up, he’ll lock the door and begin to t0uch all over my body pretending to be applying cream on my body!
I wasn’t comfortable with it anymore so I told him to stop!
Eva, don’t tell your mummy anything I do with you! If you do I’ll k!ll you. He said
I ignored him and told my mother everything he does to me,!
Eva, I think you’re possessed, you’re a liar, if I ever hear such word from you again I’ll beat you up! Your father is t0uching you, how? Please go and wash those plates ! You want to scatter my marriage!
My mother left to the market , my step father came in to my room and slapped me for telling my mother
My father told me not to hide anything from my mother, I said crying.
Your father is de@d, I am your father now and i have the right to do whatever I want to do with you s!lly girl!!! He said.
My mother came back noticed the red patches on my face, she asked me who slapped me I told her it’s her husband!
Why did you slap Eva? She asked him.
I called her but she said I am not her father and I should stop disturbing her! He answere.
Not waiting for me to explain. My mother beat me up!!
A man who took you in you’re disrespecting him! Take this bag to the kitchen useless girl! She said.
He is lying against me!
Will you sh*t up and leave my presence??
Few years passed and I became 12 years old my mother gave birth again to my little brother, life was tough for me cause I became a maid! My younger sister was taught not to do anything, I bath her, feed her and do everything in the house.
My stepfather became so angry because I was doing well in school than his daughter Sophia. My mother wasn’t impressed by my performance, she said I che@ted but I didn’t!
Sophia will pick up! I am proud of you Eva, your father must be proud too! My granny said.
You don’t know Eva mum, she lies alot, she even said my husband was t0uching her! My mother said.
I think you should pay attention to your daughter Diana! Eva can’t say those huge words.
Are you trying to say that Samuel is t0uching her?
I’ve not said so! Eva, what is your stepfather doing to you?
He Always love to see me n@ked! I am scared can I go with you grandma? It’s holiday and I want to stay with you with school resumes
My granny agreed, I was very excited to go with her! Sophia said she’s staying back, I went in , picked my bag and we left!
When we got home. My granny gave me food , told me stories about my father and started crying! My father was p0isoned and no one knew who poisoned him!!
I just have few memories of him., what I am sure of is “ I experienced so much love from him”.
Eva, if your stepfather is t0uching you please do not keep quiet. Always tell your mother.
She doesn’t believe me! Sometimes I am scared of being alone in his house granny! I don’t even know what he wants with me!
Diana has married wrongly! Granny said!
The few days I stayed with her she advised me to always lock my door anytime I am in my room alone, she also told me to follow my mother to the market always, she taught me lots of things about r@pe and sexual abuse!!
I’ve learnt that in school granny! I said to her.
Eva, after your school I’ll come and carry you okay! I’ll take care of you. You remind me so much of my son!
Stop crying granny! I wiped her tears with my hands.
Few days later a car drove in! It’s my mother ,
But the holiday is not over! Granny said.
The work load is becoming too much for me!! My mother said.
Eva started doing house chores at a young age, why not teach Sophia?? Granny responded.
Granny, my husband is complaining, please release my daughter! I need her to help me.
They wanted to have an argument so I said that I’ll follow my mother home!
Let nothing happen to my late son’s daughter!! Granny said.
I didn’t bother to carry anything I just followed my mother back home to receive gang beating from her and her husband!
Mummy, leave Eva! Sophia said.
Go to your room Sophia! Her father ordered her!
After torturing me for leaving , my mother took Sophia and her little brother out to visit her husband’s mother!!
Alone again with this man! I said to myself.
I rushed to my room but he was stronger than me!
You think you can outshine my daughter? He said.
Daddy how do you mean?
You feel you’re better than Sophia? You’re always having good grades and I noticed you’ve started developing bre@st! You’re ripe now Eva! He said dragging me.
Please stop! I said.
He stopped and called his friend.
Is the room ready?
Yes, are you coming now? His friend asked.
Yes we are! My step father said and ended the call!
Let’s take a stroll! He said as he dragged me out to his car and drove me off to a place that is far from home.
When we got there I saw two his friends, these are the people that usually comes to the house to eat, drink and laugh! I usually call them “Uncle”.
They offered me alcohol, I refused!
My step father slapped me , forcefully took off my clothes!
What are you trying to do?
What I should have done since you were 5! No One will believe you, your mother loves me and she’ll never believe you!! He said.
I’ll do it first cause I am like a father to her, he told his two friends who have taken off their trouser!!
I was crying but they were laughing at me!
Hold her! Was the word Samuel said.
Please dad!
I am not your father and I am not related to you Eva, you think I don’t know what you told granny! In a nutshell “ I never liked your father, he was a proud f00l, thank God he died”.
His friends held me down and the man I called Father R@ped me, he took my v!rginity! I was bleeding but he never cared, when he was done his friends took turns on me too! It was too much that I passed out!
Episode 2: A Dark Betrayal – Eva’s Innocence Stolen
Is she dead? She’s not breathing!! One of Samuel’s friend said.
She’s not dead!! It’s her first time and the pressure was too much, she’s still a child but she’ll adjust! Bring water let’s pour on her, she’ll wake up. Samuel responded.
I was unconscious, it was like a trance, I saw my father weeping bitterly “ Eva, I’m sorry for leaving you” he said.
Can I join you wherever you are? I miss you so much dad! My life is hell!
You’re not joining me, go back!
Next thing I felt was water being poured on me!
I opened my eyes and started coughing, I was so weak that I could barely breathe and stand, my eyes were red , I was very scared!
My step father went in and brought out a knife 🔪
If anyone hears about this Eva, you’ll join your father in the land of the de@d! I’ll k!l you,
No, we wil k!ll her! His friend John and Peter responded.
Let’s go! We’ll be back tomorrow, I’ll lock her up here, Samuel said.
He threw drugs for me ” that’s pain reliever drugs and there’s food in the k!tchen! do wel to clean up this bl00d! He said and locked everywhere leaving me alone in the house,!
I tried to get up no way, it was like I became paralyzed out of shock!!
I crawled still bleeding to take the drugs, I lift myself up and sat down on the chair staring at the house, I cried my out eyes out screaming but no one heard me! I managed to stand up , I tried to open the door but no way!, I slowly walked to the to!let to shower, I was loosing blood! Later that evening I prayed and asked God to take my life!! After praying minutes later I stopped bleeding!
POV
Samuel went home with his friends and they were talking about how they had a great time with me,
You have to catch them young, I don’t want her to be outstanding anymore! How can she outshine my daughter always!!Samuel said.
Door opens!
It was Diana my mother and my siblings.
Where’s Eva? Diana asked.
I don’t know, I saw her with some guy when I went out to get something! I called her but she said her normal word “ you’re not my father, leave me alone”. Those words broke me my wife, I just had to let her be!
I’ll deal with her when she returns! Let me call my mother!
She called granny, granny said she hasn’t seen me, “Look for my grand daughter “ granny said.
Don’t worry we’ll look for her! Maybe she’s enjoying herself.
My mother was worried, she called her friends but none saw me!
We have to involve the police, it’s getting dark and Eva is not home! Eva hasn’t behaved like this before! What if she has been k!dnapped.
Don’t involve the police, I told you I saw her with a guy! Go to bed Diana! Tomorrow I’ll loo for her myself! Samuel said.
His friend left and they all went to bed!
The next morning I woke up thirty, I walked to the kitchen to get water and went back to the room ,I was drinking the water when my stepfather opened the door!
Fear gripped me!, my heart was racing very fast.
Eva! He called.
I didn’t answer him,
Don’t let me be@t you up! Take off your clothes! After today you’re going home and we’ll continue from there! If you d@re say a word I’ll break you.
Please! Don’t do this dad! I said crying again.
So you can talk! I thought you’ve turned deaf.
If I’ve done anything to you forgiv me, I am sorry! I’ll be a good child, I won’t tell granny anything! Don’t do it again please!! It’s painful
Eva, with time you’ll enjoy it, now I am the one enjoying it! Just calm down.
Daddy Noo!! Please.
He slapped me” I am not your father! Lie down now!
He forced himself on me again! Locked me in and went home.
There was no escape for me!!
Later in the day he came, gave me transport and told me to go home!
I managed to find my way home! I met my granny and mother at home crying.
Eva! What happened to you? My granny asked.
I looked at my mother and saw through her!
Eva! Why are Bruises all over you? Where have you been? My mother asked.
Samuel and his friends r@ped me!
My granny shouted!
Shut up Eva, you little lair, I was wasting my tears for you, and you dare say such thing about my husband? A man that has gon out to look for you? What do you want to pull me out of my marriage? I know you miss your father but Samuel has been a good man to you!
You think I don’t know that you were with a guy? Samuel saw you!
Mum! Do you love me? I asked.
I love you but I love my husband too! He has been there since your father died.
Diana! Eva is saying the truth! You need to confront Samuel.
Granny! We have no business together, I married your son and he’s no more, stay away from my affairs, I know you’re angry cause I immediately got married after Eva’s father passed on! You also wanted me single but God is the greatest! You can leave now! Eva is home
I want to go with you granny! I pleaded.
You’re not leaving Eva!!
My granny left!
Eva! You’re home! Where have you been? Sophia my kid sis asked.
Your sister has been visiting men! Now go to your room! My mother said to Sophia.
I went to my room, showered , changed my clothes and slept off.
In the middle of my sleep I heard a heavy knock on my door.
Where’s that stup!d girl!! Samuel said barging in.
You Prost!tute, you liar! Who defiled you? Me and my friends? When?
Granny told me to speak up whenever you t0uch me! You and your friends did it! I am not lying.
Eva, so you and granny conspired against me and my husband! Jesus Christ!
No mum! Daddy r@ped me!
If you think I’ll leave my husband I will not! You slept out with a guy and he too broke your v!rginity! You’re here lying against my husband!
We need to separate my k!da from Eva, she’s corrupt! Samuel said and left.
My v0ice is not being heard because my father is not here!
I don’t care about your father! He’s gone and I will not loose my marriage because you h@te Samuel? Selfish child! I’ll get you antibiotics! You can’t infect Sophia with your d!try life style!! I would have curse you but I will not! Just look at you, as little as you are you’re having s*x , doing what adults do! F00lish child! Thank God I didn’t go to the station! Such a disgrace!
After talking she left!
I noticed she went to apologise to her husband!
Days later, she resumed work and separated me from my siblings!
The abuse from Samuel and his friends did not stop! This time Samuel threatened me with a gun!!
My mother values her marriage More than her girl child!
Episode 3: Seeking Refuge – Eva Runs to Her Grandmother for Help
I ran to my granny’s place , I told her everything and how it happend, she blamed herself for releasing me to my mother after the death of my father!
She used hot water to press and bath me! The pain was too much for her to bear!
Eva, what are we going to do?
I don’t want to go back there granny, each time my mum leaves for work , dad and his friends will take turns on me! I am yet to understand what’s going on!
Eh! , why is this happening? What has eva done? I can’t even go to the station cause the police will think it’s old age! I’ll take you to my friends place !
Eva! Eva! My mothers voice echoed in granny’s compound.
What are you doing here? You want to conspire again with my daughter? Granny leave us alone! I am no longer part of your family since the de@th of your son! I allowed eva visits because of just one thing!
You’re very useless Diana! Eva can’t walk properly, your pedophile husband and friends defiled your daughter under your watch and you come here to rant? I wish my late son never met you Diana! You’re protecting your marriage at the detriment of your own daughter, what type of a selfish and unreasonable mother are you?
Oh, now it’s no longer my husband but him and his friends!
Turning to me she shouted “ Eva get in my car, the chores are waiting for you liar”.
She’s not leaving! I’ll take care of her.
You can’t even take care of yourself! Hand over my daughter to me or I’ll call the police.
Granny, I’ll go with her! I said.
Eva! You will never heal if you go back there!
I’ll be fine! Bye granny!!
I followed my mother, and we went home!
You’ve grown so much and you’re now eating food meant for adult that’s why you have no respect! She said to me.
Sometimes I wonder if you’re my mother!
The next response I got was a slap from her!
What’s going on! Samuel asked walking in.
Can you imagine Eva, lying again that you and your friends take turns on her.
How dare you? Samuel words together with a slap!
I’ve told you we need to isolate my kids from Eva!
I’ll never stop pointing my fingers at the men who r@ped me! I said and ran to my room!
I noticed for two weeks Samuel avoided me because my mother was around!
Few months later I clocked 13, my birthday wasn’t celebrated, my mother just said “ school is resuming so start ironing your siblings uniforms, wash their bag, I don’t want any rush hour thing!
It’s my birthday today mum!
Go to the persons house that defiled you! Nonsense child! She responded.
But few months ago you Celebrated Sophia’s birthday!
Eva! Start ironing!
I got up, she called me and asked me about the stain on my gown! I turned and saw bl00d.
Did you go out to sleep with someone? She angrily asked.
No!
Oh! Maybe it’s your monthly flow! I’ll bring pad for you!
I did not even understand what she meant, but I remember being taught in school about puberty! I asked her to explain more and she did!
She brought pad and taught me how to use it,
Cause she couldn’t close her mouth she told her husband!
Days after the flow stopped, my mother went for her normal business !
Samuel came in again, had s*x with me twice!
There’s no point talking , no one will believ you” was always what he says to me whenever he is done, and truly there’s no point!!
School resumed and I have my freedom, sometimes I’ll stay till evening before going home!
My teacher called me one day and asked me to be open to her.
I looked at her and bowed my head.
Eva, I noticed you no longer play with your male friends, you isolate yourself and you’re always scared, what’s wrong?
Nothing ma. I am fine! I need to go home.
Your grades are decreasing,
I’ll pick up! Bye, I carried my bag and left.
My life was just like a circle of abuse!!! It traumatized me, my granny couldn’t save me!!
My late father kept appearing in my dream telling me all will be well.
Sophia wasn’t bad to me, whenever she comes to me my mother would take her away!
I was lonely and sad, I’ve tried severely to take my own life and whenever I want to do it I’d hear my fathers voice!
3years later I was already 16 preparing for my Waec when I fell Ill at school, I was taken to the school clinic, test were made and it discovered that I was pregnant !
It was a huge disappointment for the teachers, they called my mother and invited her!
When she arrived she was told about the pregnancy,
I knew it! Eva has finally disgraced me!
I think you should pay attention to your daughter, I am sorry but she can no longer continue with us, it’s better we lose a child than close down this school. The principal said.
What about her exams? My mother asked.
Go and solve your daughters problem ma’am, have a nice day!
We got home, I received the beating of my life! Samuel was told, he said it was my boyfriend that got me pregnant, my mother asked me who was responsible I pointed Samuel.
This girl is possessed, she said.
My grandma heard about my pregnancy, developed high bl00d pressure, fainted and was rushed to the hospital.
My mother who cared less, took me to the hospital with the help of Samuel to get rid of the pregnancy!
I was in pain again, my granny wasn’t allowed to see me!
Did the abuse stop after the ab0rtion? No, it didn’t!!
My education ended! I was a slave and an outcast in my mother’s house.
A month to recovery, Samuel who couldn’t control his urge pounced on me , I screamed , he hit me and used his left hand to cover my mouth while using his right hand to undress, he succeeded again and was r@ping me! When my mother opened the door to my room and saw her beloved husband having s*x with me!
Episode 4: Family Ignorance – Eva’s Cry for Help Falls on Deaf Ears
Out of shock Samuel jumped out!
Diana I can explain, eva drugged me! Samuel said.
Eva drugged you Samuel? Is this what you’ve been doing to my child?? This is an abomination , how am I going to face everyone knowing that you’ve commited such an unforgettable and unforgivable crime?
Honey, it’s the first time! Let go and talk somewhere cool. I’ll explain everything to you, it’s the devils work.
I got up. Went to shower without saying anything!! My mothers reaction wasn’t impressive , so it’s really useless explaining myself again!!
SAmuel had already left the room while my mum waited for me to come out from the shower!
Eva, sit down!! I want you to tell me the whole truth!! She said shedding crocodile tears.
What truth do you want to hear? Didn’t you see it yourself? What else do you want me to say? I responded.
Eva, is your father responsible for taking away your v!rginity? Is he the father of your child? How long has this been happening?
If I tell you you wil not believe me, but I’ll say it anyway!
Samuel is not my father! And yes, I lost my v!rginity to him and his friends, they abuse me whenever you are not home, but Samuel do it every day and every night!!
Jesus! I am finished! She screamed!!
Do you feel anything whenever he is doing it?
THe only thing I feel is pain and h@te for him! You want to know if I enjoy it? I don’t! Thank you for asking as I know why you’re crying! You can go mum, your question doesn’t make any sense, just have it in mind that you also k!lled me!
She stood up and left, she went to meet her husband!
Samuel knelt down and began to cry,
My wife, Eva gave me water to drink, the next thing she was n@ked, i became dizzy, when I went to her room to ask her what she put into the water, she said its a drug, she showed it to me and kept it on her bag, I fell on her bed, she dr@gged my pants 👖 down and climbed ontop of me! I never knew what was happening till you opened the door!
Did you broke her or you did not?
Godforbid! I never did, I’ve never touched Eva , I don’t want what happened today to break our home!! Eva is a dev!l and it’s a setup! How can I have s*x wit a child , my own daughter! If I was h0rny I’d have gotten myself a s!de chick!!
What will people say if this act is being known? How can I face the society if I leave my marriage? What about Eva? She’s going through pains, inasmuch As she has been calm I still do nt know who to believe! My mother said.
Believe your husband!! I want this to be between us please, I’ll have to tell Eva to go to her granny’s place for the sake of s0phia our innocent daughter!
I don’t this act to repeat itself Samuel!
Diana, I know where she kept the drug , follow me to her room and I’ll show you!
They both came to my room, Samuel pointed the bag , my mother opened it and saw a pack of drug there , drugs to boost men’s s£xu@l urge and activity! with a receipt that has my name on it!
Eva! You really drugged Samuel for him to have s*x with you? My mother said but I kept quiet!
You’re such a w!cKed girl, I know you want me to leave him but God is bigger than you spoilt brat! I’ve decided to stay back and be at peace with my husband!
I wanted to talk but she shut me up!!
One more thing! No one should know about this! Keep your mouth shut!
Deep down you know the truth but you’re fighting it!! I responded back.
What are you scared of mum? Tell me! I just terminated a pregnancy and you’ve never asked me about my mental health! why am I even explaining to a mother who values and worship her husband like a god!! I’ll be Fine!
Let’s go Diana! Eva is trying to get to you with her words!! Samuel said to her!
Days later, Sophia came to my room! She hugged me and started crying!
Why are you crying s0phia? I asked.
Sis, I had a dream that you died! Do you want to d!e? Who will take care of me?
I smiled and k!ssed her cheek, “ it’s just a dream, I am not dying, you know why? I have big dreams and I want to make money and take you away from your father and mother! I know they love you but they’re careless!
I’ve seen everything dad has been doing to you, I am sorry, I can’t say anything too cause they will not believe me!! She said.
Always go out with mummy!! I responded to her!
Eh ! I stole mums money from the shop!
Why? I scolded her.
You had your birthday and no one got you anything, but mine was celebrated, I know I am not up to a teenager but I have sense! She laughed, stood up and locked my door,
Sophia brought out a phone pack and handed it over to me,
Sis Eva, it is yours! I stole her money and got you this phone as your birthday gift, I’ll steal more if she doesn’t buy you clothes then I’ll buy for you!
Sophia, stealing is bad, don’t steal again! Thank you but I can’t take it.
She pleaded and I later took the phone, when I unlocked it, I saw her pictures and mine when we were little!
Don’t cry Eva, I love you, you’re still nice to me and my brother despite everything! Promise not to leave me.
I promise I’ll not leave you!! I responded with a k!ss on her forehead!
We took pictures together and she slept on me!!!
When she woke up , I heard voices downstairs, I told her to go check who has visited!
She went downstairs and came back telling me it was Samuel friends!
I heard my fathers voice saying “ tell Sophia to go take a picture with them””
S0phia! I called!!can you please take a picture together with uncle Peter and John? Use your phone!
She went back to meet them, after teasing them she asked for a picture shot , !! They took pictures together and she came back, she sent the pictures to me! I had no idea why my late father wants me to have their picture!!
My mother avoided me, my phone was alway hidden, most times Sophia quarel with her mother for my sake! S Sophia is so different from her father! I prayed for her never to experience what I’ve experienced! Karma is real but she is innocent!
My mother told her not to get close to me anymore, her father threatened her! She never stopped visiting, most times she calls me and it was our secret! Each time my phone beeps “ it is Sophia text messages from WhatsApp!
At 17 the worse happened, I got pregnant again, my mother found out and chased me out, she said lots of things before asking me to leave so I don’t ruin her marriage, Samuel denied it and he believed him! Even when Sophia defended me, she was beaten!!
I went to my granny’s place, she was already weak due to the shock she had!
We successfully terminated the pregnancy, my granny couldn’t keep it, she reported the case to the police , Samuel was invited including my mother! He denied it, my mother called me a liar in public! She said I started sleeping with different men the day I turned 7 and after all her warnings I didn’t stop!!
She said “ since her father died she has been acting strange!
My father died when I was Barely 5 mum!! I said.
There’s no Case granny, your granddaughter is lying, because a mother will always protect the interest of her child! The police said.
We went back home!
I watched a video online when a guy said “ when he’s sad, depressed he always smoke and take alcohol to get his mind off is pain!
I went outside to get a bottle of alcohol! The trauma was too much to handle! I drank it and had a different feeling of little peace! Not less than an hour I fell asleep!
I woke up with the thoughts of Samuel, I went to the pharmacy to get rat poison! I was about taking it when my granny opened the door!!
Episode 5: Desperate for Escape – Eva Faces a Life-Altering Decision
Eva, what do you want to do? Do you want me dead? Why do you want to take your own life? Why?
Granny, I can’t take it anymore, no education, no father, no mother! I am just alone in this world,
You should be grateful that you’re not dead eva, not all that were r@ped survived it, you’re not alone cause I am always with you!! Don’t you ever think of taking your own life!
Way other choice do I have?
You have sOphia to live for, you have a future!
My future is already ruined!
Ruined by who? Samuel? No, it’s not ruined, opportunities will come to you and one day Samuel and his friends will pay dearly with their lives!! I am always here for you if you need anything! Promise me you’ll never try to commit su!cide again!
I promise!
What do you wish for eva?
Granny, I wish death can just come and take me!!
There’s power in the tongue eva! Don’t ever say that again!
That’s my wish!
Knock knock.
It’s Sophia,
I was happy to see her, she apologized on her father and our mother’s behalf, I gave her lots of advice and told her to be careful with men as I am very scared of them! They hurt me and they may hurt you too!!
My granny took her time and also gave out her own advice!! She stayed for a while promised to keep in touch and left!
I didn’t stop drinking, alcohol became my breakfast, lunch and dinner! It became my addiction!! Granny begged me to stop but I couldn’t stop it! My mother never visited so I learned to forget about her! I guess her marriage was important!
My granny told me stories again about my father, she said the house we live in belong to my father as he built it for her, she said that I can claim ownership of it if she eventually d!es!! She also told me that one of my uncle sold my fathers house and took over his company!
Your father’s life was cut short Eva!
I don’t want anything granny! I just want to live like normal people, I can’t even go out without someone pointing his/her fingers on me, calling me names and also calling me a liar, I am defenseless!
You’ll be fine Eva, your mother doesn’t know the gravity of what she has done! Grandma said.
My granny sickness got worse, my drinking habit also got worse,! My father’s siblings never looked at me , they took care of their mother (granny), but life happened when she could no longer fight her illness!
She was dying! She called me.
Eva! I know you’re depressed and you do not feel loved! Love wil find you soon, you don’t have to search for love! I want you to make another wish!
I want to be my father!
No Eva! Don’t wish for death!!
Granny, if you want me alive then stay alive please!
She held my hand and started praying for me!!
After praying for me she k!ssed me and said “ you’ll find happiness Eva, your life will turn around, you should stop wishing for death, and stop drinking! eva I love you, ! She said and died in my arms!
Granny, grandma, wake up, you can’t leave me, granny! Granny!
She wasn’t breathing, I called my uncle, I was crying over the phone, he came and called others, they took her to the hospital and she was confirmed dead!
My life has finished! Eva it is over for you! I said rolling myself on the ground!
She was taken to the morgue !
The thought of my granny made me drink myself to stupor, I passed out due to excessive intake of alcohol,!
When my uncles and aunties arrived( my late father’s brother) they poured me water and asked me to sit!
I sat down and they said I need to vacate the house as they want to renovate it for my granny’s burial ceremony!
But this house is my father’s house, granny told me everything including his house you people sold and his company you people now control! That is to say you all robbed me of my fathers wealth and now you want me to leave? To where?
Since you’ve known too much, you have 24hours to vacate Eva! We’ve all agreed, you can’t stay here!Your father is not here and you have no proof!!
Where will I go?
To your mother’s place!!
I can’t go to my mother’s place!
What are you scared of? You’re no longer a v!rgin. Haven’t you terminated two pregnancies? You’re spoilt Eva, granny is no longer here to save you!”
I thought they were joking but they aren’t !!
They threw me out with nothing!
I called my mother, I explained everything to her but she said “ I can’t let you come back
Eva, You might get pregnant again, I know you’re using juju on my husband!!
Mummy, I wasn’t planning to come back, I need some money!! Help me please, everyone is laughing at me, don’t abandon me now!
I can’t! Go meet your uncles, .. hangs up
I decided to call s0phia, she sent some money to me to get some things!
I live in the streets for many months surviving with the help of Sophia before meeting Jerry.
Jerry took me in and I had no choice than to be his girlfriend for shelter sake! I was scared , and each time he sleeps close to me I’ll start shaking!
I guess he got tired of me not reciprocating his feelings, he forced me to bed and I ran away again!
On my way to nowhere I met Mildred, she took me in , she’s a chronic addict to drugs and alcohol.
My first night of sleeping in her house, she told me her uncle took advantage of her, she spoke out but no one believed her!!
I told her my own story! We cried together, got drunk and slept off!
POV
Four months later my granny’s burial was fixed, I attended , cried and paid my last respect!! I never stopped dreaming about granny and my father
Life wasn’t easy for me, Mildred and I relocated to town, I started working in a school, my addiction increased, I still drink alcohol, severally the management has called me to stop drinking, I tried to but it never worked!!
Fast forward to 3years later , I got a cal from Sophia! She was crying.
What happened? I asked.
Dad almost raped me, mum saw him and f@inted!! Eva, please come and take me away from here!
Sophia, life is hard! I am going through hell! What is mum saying?
She’s covering up for him! But she’s very watchful of me now, she said I’ll go stay with her sister!!
But I told her i want to go stay with pastor moses!
Are you still drinking Eva?
I’ll stop!! I love you Sophia.
I love you too Eva!! You’re now 20 Eva, get married so I can come take care of your kids! She said.
I laughed! “Stay safe sOphia! I don’t need a man” I know I am 20!
Few weeks later, I was sacked from work! Mildred died right in front of me! She was diagnosed of Liver disease due to excessive intake of alcohol! I still didn’t learn , I continued drinking to ease my pain!! I became more than addicted, looking soo tiny and sick!
My landlord kicked me out due to inability to pay the rent!
At midnight by 1am I was praying for death outside the express road.
I saw a car coming towards my direction with speed! I ran into the moving vehicle but the driver was smart enough to bypass me! I saw death face to face and fainted!!
Is she dead? Someone said.
Carry her let’s take her to the hospital!! Another said.
I was taken to the hospital!
Around 4am, I opened my eyes and saw a young doctor staring at me!!
Hello, you’re awake!
Who are you and where am I? I asked.
I’m doctor Fred! I almost k!lled you, what were you doing on the road by that time? Do you have a name? He asked.
Eva! I answered.
Eva, don’t you ever do that again! Call your family and tel them you’re here.
I have no one to call! Can I stay here before I d!e? I have no where to go!! Are you my doctor?
Yes, I am! And if you want to d!e I will not be the one to k!ll you!
You just made the worse mistake by saving me Doctor Fred!
We’ll see about that Eva! Have some rest, and take a shower!! The alcohol you took has taken over you! I’ll see you later.
You should have left me to d!e Fred!
Eva, you’re shouting, you’re not the only patient here! I Should have left you to die, lol, I didn’t even hit you but you fainted, you’re scared of death Eva, this world is too sweet, and you know what? You have a future and debt to pay! Well, other nurse will attend to you, don’t leave till you see me, you’re already assigned to me by me! !!I’ll see You in the evening! Your phone is beside you Eva, call your family to come pay for your treatment.
Doctors do not talk like this! You’re not fit to have a patient, !
I am not just a doctor, I am doctor Fred! I hope you fight whatever is eating you up!
I am no longer fighting anything!
Then I’ll help you fight it, it’s my job!: see you in the evening Eva! Stay safe.
