You didn't come downstairs for morning devotion and I let that pass believing you were in the toilet only to realise you are still sleeping at past 10!" Isere eyes widened upon hearing her mother's word.She slept till passed ten even though she slept really early yesterday? She was shocked that she had to look at the wall clock to confirm.Isere eyes widened when she confirmed what her just

"What?!" Mrs Williams gasped when she heard what Isere said. Isere must be joking, she thought."Are you serious at all Kate?" Mrs Williams asked standing in her feet. She tapped on her head lightly trying to process what she had just heard."I am not lieing ma, you could invite my parents here to confirm if you want, but what I just told you is the truth," Isere said to her with confidence."You mean..." Mrs Williams trailed off, "You mean your father molested you?" Mrs Williams asked again.Isere nodded her head, "Your father...your father..."

I was scared my past would hunt me so I decided to do all I can do prevent it," Isere's mother spoke. "By locking me in the house and beating me for saying certain words?!"
