has secure a security job at an oil firm, so therefore he has
resigned.” Nnena on the other hand has lost her memory as a
result of the unknown accident to her, she hardly remember
things, all she could recall was that she fainted when she was
given a phone, she has even forgotten who owns the mobile
phone she was handling that very day and she has totally
forgotten what she saw on the phone that made her to faint. She
doesn’t know how she got to the hospital and how she suffers so
much injuries; that means she doesn’t know that she had an
accident. She was unable to recall that she was pregnant; the
entire incidents that happened recently had been totally formatted
from her memory {brain}. She could only remember the last scene
she witness {she fainted when she was handed a phone}, and the
mystery death of her father and how her mother was stoned to
death that was all she could remember thought the doctor assure
the Chief that she may restore her memory maybe a year to more.

LOCATION: CHIEF NNAMDI RESISDENT – DINNING
The whole family of Nnamdi’s were all sited on the well arranged
dinner chair of six, they are all waiting for their breakfast which
Nnena was preparing in the kitchen.
“Would you bring the soup on time?” Mrs. Chioma roared.
“It’s almost ready ma.” Nnena boomed from the kitchen.
“She is so sluggish, how can we eating the breakfast by this time,
and this is almost 7:20am.” Chiamaka enunciated as she
readjusts her chair.
“7:30am is not late for the breakfast big sister.” Obinna tried to
defense Nnena.
“You have started again. Who invite you to this conversation now?
Please o I don’t want trouble this morning o.” Chiamaka
counterblasted angrily.
“I just hate your gut, spoilt brat.” Chinendu concluded Chiamaka’s
words.
All this while the children were fighting in war of words, Chief
Nnamdi and Mrs. Chioma were also fighting with war of
expressions.
The fighting couple were looking at each other with
an averting faces, they were both ready to slay each other just
then Chiamaka throw a remarkable question to the Chief.
“Daddy, you didn’t even say anything about the picture Mummy
shows to you about Nnena and a stranger having s-x, you didn’t
even question her or find out about anything concerning that
accusation or have you forgotten?” Chiamaka asked the shocking
but reasonable question.
“I did not forgot, my dear.” Chief Nnamdi paused
“Just that I later found out that Nnena is innocent and she is not
guilty of your accusations and to avoid further tormenting and
commotion that is the reason why I have been muted on the
issue.” Chief Nnamdi uttered as he looks straight into Mrs.
Chioma eyes.
Mrs. Chioma and her crews (Chinendu and Chiamaka) were
shocked, bemused, baffled, dumbfounded and ashamed; they
were all confused as they all look into the eyes of one another
just then Nnena brought the breakfast she has prepared to the
dinning. Nnena served the whole family the delicious meal of rice
with snail stew as their breakfast and that is according to the food
timetable of the house, after she finish serving the meal she held
the serving tray as she was ready to storm out from the dinning
just then Chief Nnamdi called her back.
“Nnena!” Chief Nnamdi called her back as he was trying to mess
a snail from the snail soup.
“Sir.” Nnena responds to his calling respectfully.
“Where is your food?” Chief Nnamdi asked as he was trying to
stress the words.
“It is in the kitchen.” Nnena replied positively.
“Bring your food to the dinning, let us eat together.” Chief
Nnamdi uttered as he was trying to devour in the delicious rice.
Mrs. Chioma, Chinendu and Chiamaka open their eyes wide, they
try to re-captivates the statement “Bring your food to the dinning,
let us eat together.” But it seem they heard the Chief Statement
right, Obinna on the other hand gave out a happy smile, he was
very happy for their guiltless housemaid Nnena.
“Bring your food to the dinning, let us eat together.” But it seem
they heard the Chief Statement right, Obinna on the other hand
gave out a happy smile, he was very happy for their guiltless
housemaid Nnena.

Mrs. Chioma angrily left the dinning; she was so irritated at the
last statement of Chief Nnamdi, she doesn’t care if the Chief
mean the statement or not.
“Dad!” Chinendu exclaimed with a sad expression
“Son!” Chief Nnamdi said as he looks straight into Chinendu eyes.
Chiamaka and Chinendu also angrily left their meal in the dining,
they loathly head for their respective bedrooms, they were so
angry and fury of ire, their hatred for Nnena was now growing
like a stubborn grass.
Nnena on the other hand has forgotten all the maltreatment Mrs.
Chioma and her crew do gave to her, she has even forgotten how
they use to gave her the beating of her life, she has forgotten her
savior in the house “Collins”, all she saw on her body was marks
of wipes and wound from hot iron and water but she has
forgotten how they got there.
(PRESENT)
Nnena swiftly run to the kitchen, she brought her food to the
dinning, she feel honored to eat with the Chief and Obinna on the
same table.

(FEW DAYS LATER)
Mrs. Chioma came back from a party around 4:30pm on that very
beautiful day, she heard Chief Nnamdi and Nnena chatting and
laughing inside the sitting room, she decided to spy and listen to
a little about their conversation from outside where she was
staying, she heard the chief saying thus;
“I will like to free you from this slavery, I should have let you go
and start your own business but I fear anything might happen to
you outside if I let you go, I fear my wicked wife, she has a very
bad intention toward you, I can’t afford to lose you, if I am to help
your condition now the only thing I can do is to announce you as
my daughter to the whole occupant of this house and I promise I
will announce you as my daughter tomorrow morning.” Chief
Nnamdi said extremely happy, he thought that is the only way to
help the poor orphan worsen condition.
Mrs.
Chioma almost fall down from where she leap to peep to
hear their conversation, she couldn’t believe her hear, she try to
play a music from her phone through her earphone so as to
confirmed that her hears are working fine and properly but it
seem she heard the Chief right and nothing was wrong with her
hears.
She reluctantly barged into the sitting room, but she didn’t greet
the Chief, Nnena try to greet her but she turn deaf hears to her
greeting. She run to her room upstairs, she angrily tosses her bag
which she was handling against the wall. She laid down flat on
the bed, she was totally befuddled, baffled, bemused and
confounded about she heard earlier, she was confused and totally
at sea.
Many ungodly thoughts ran into her mind but she thought
thus;
“I am a mother and no more a lovely wife I use to be to my
husband, Chief Nnamdi behaviors this days are rare and strange, I
can’t believe I heard him right, he was trying to made Nnena his
daughter over my dead body, I am living in this house not because
of my husband but because of my children, if he succeed in
making Nnena his daughter, I bet he will willed many of his
property to Nnena, he is a no-nonsense man, he loves Nnena
dearly like his own daughter, I think I have to find a way not to
let this happen, beside am no more a wife here but a mother of
my children, my staying here is for the chief to quickly die and my
children should be able to posses is properties, if I made him to
die on time does it have any fault or blemish?
