Thrown Out Onto the Street by Her Father While She Was Pregnant at 14 Years Old. The Struggle of a Mother.

“Baba is dead,” Ife announced sadly.

“What?”

Ogei fell to her knees and began to cry. Baba was the only person who had cared for her and looked after her. It was because of him that she had returned to the village. What would she do now?

She got up crying, passed through the crowd, and headed toward the room Baba had given her. She noticed that the padlock on the door was no longer the same. Ife came up to her and explained that her mother had changed the lock.

“She gave the key to Emeka’s new wife, who is already here,” she explained.

“What will become of me now? Baba is gone. What will I do? Where will I sleep?”

Ife answered, “You can sleep in the church while you find a solution. I can take you there.”

While Ogechi was thinking, Linda appeared in front of her.

“Seriously, why do I keep running into you everywhere? Let me surprise you: not only am I about to marry Emeka, but I’m also pregnant by him. I knew from the first day I saw you that you were not his sister as he claimed.”

“Let’s go, Auntie,” Ife said to cut the conversation short.

Ogechi followed her toward the church. She kept replaying all of Linda’s cruel words in her mind. She could not believe that one day Emeka would make her suffer so much.

She slept in the church that night.

The next day, Baba’s brother called Ogechi to a meeting in the presence of Emeka, his new girlfriend Linda, and his mother. The uncle spoke.

“Hello, everyone. My name is Chidike, and I am Baba’s younger brother. Before he died, Baba entrusted me with certain information and asked me to pass it on to you. In case you do not believe me, I recorded everything on my phone and I will let you hear it directly.”

He pressed play.
