CHIDERA~ His Sin (A Nigerian Romance)

DERA. For as long as I can remember, I always thought this was normal and it was part of God's plan for every Female to Marry at the age of Fifteen. Seeing as most of my time was spent in Church I believed that everything that has happened and still happening to me is part of God's plan for me. It only took me a while to realise that I was just simply unlucky.I lost my Parents at the very young age of Five. Infact I can barely remember the times I spent with them before they passed. My Uncle took me in and cared for me like his own that was until he also passed away. His Wife, Aunty Yetunde despised me from the beginning and made sure her Children Ben and Joe Disregarded me too. Since the very first day I stepped foot in her house, she made sure to remind me that I was an Orphan and I was unlucky. She said her Husband only took me in out of Pity since no one else wanted me. She made sure I knew i was Ugly and Unfortunate.Though she Verbally abused me she never hit me

DERA.   Two weeks had passed and everything was back to normal. I gave Damilayo his space. Damilayo apologized to me the next day after the Anniversary party. He claimed he was Sorry and hat he had no idea my parents were late. I know his Mother must have forced him to apologize because when it comes to his Mother Damilayo is helpless. He loves and Worships his Mother like a goddess and he would do anything to make her happy including Apologizing to his Partner.    Seyifunmi was a different story. She was being nice to me which was really weird. She even offered to take me out today. Something about a girls outing but I told her I had to take permission from her brother first.     It was a Saturday so Damilayo liked to sleep in. Ini prepared Fried rice and Chicken for breakfast. Though I don't like to eat Breakfast, I was determined to have breakfast that morning because it was the mouthwatering smell of the Fried rice that woke me up so

DERA. Throughout the car ride back home with Damilayo, we both remained silence. None of us uttered a word and the Eerie silence was killing me. Not even the radio was on and even though the A.C. was working just fine, I could feel my palm getting sweaty as I kept fidgeting.   I am way beyond sure that today is the day I die. Damilayo has never raised his hand at me before but today he might do worse than that. He could kill me and hide my body and no one would know, No one would even care. He could easily get away with it.   The familiar Entrance to our Estate comes into view and my heart races as the distance to the house got shorter and shorter until we were parked in front of the big White and grey building.   Damilayo comes out first and I follow him inside trailing behind him. He opens the door and to my surprise holds it open for me to enter. I hesitantly enter the house before I hear the door close behind me. He still didn't utter a wor

DERA. Literally.I did die or I think I was about to. But I felt it. I felt the air leave me. I couldn't breath anymore and I wanted it. I wanted it all.So if I felt all of that and I died. Then why am I staring at at the White ceiling of a hospital. Except this is Heaven and it's just normal for it to smell like drugs and alot of other things.   I couldn't understand what was going on. I felt numb and all I want to do is leave here. I've only been to a Hospital once and that's when my Uncle was dying. Just being here made me nauseous.  Seyifunmi came in and I practically begged her to take me home. I regretted it when through out the car ride she kept lecturing me. Asking why I tried to kill myself. She also didn't forget to mention that nothing on earth is worth taking away the life God gave me.   She's right. Nothing on earth was worth taking my life.Getting home I didn't see Damilayo so I asked Seyifunmi an

DERA.   I spent the rest of the day in bed that was until Someone started ringing the doorbell. Ope was still around and she went to answer the door and about few minutes later she comes up to my room. Telling me Some Woman wanted to see Damilayo and it was important. At first I thought it was Damilayo's  Secretary, I always forget her name. But when I managed to get downstairs With Ope's help, I see it's not His Secretary instead I'm staring at a tall slim woman. She was dark in complexion and had the kind of body I would kill for. She didn't have any makeup on and though her few pimples were visible she still looked beautiful. She had on a Pixie short Wig along with a plain blue dress that hugged her frame perfectly. She looked simple and sexy while I looked like a typical housewife. Since I was in one of my many short butterfly house dresses and my go-to Wig. By that I mean my straight Long wig that I know no matter what I looked good in it.She looked o
