EPISODE 13: I was in my third year at the NCE when I heard that one of my friends had died. Honestly, I don’t think Aunty was responsible for her death. I heard the girl was unwell, and sadly it led to her passing. We weren’t even in contact before her death due to the incident with the arrest. Right now, I’m pregnant with my third child. I’ve never had a boyfriend not even once. Aunty’s husband has been responsible for all my pregnancies. At this point, I’m no longer interested in anyone else, but him. I’d leave school anytime I wanted and come home, but I was never allowed to carry or care for any of the children I birthed. I told Aunty’s husband about this pregnancy, and we went for an abortion. I also returned to school and continued with my life until I began falling sick again. So I went home, on getting home I told Aunty’s husband, he brought in a doctor. That was when we found out I was already six months pregnant. Aunty started asking who the father was. I initially said ...

EPISODE 12: She told me to leave and move into the house her husband had supposedly rented for me but that apartment was actually the one I rented with the money she had paid me earlier. Her husband never rented any place for me. You remember I had once laid a curse on the children out of anger, vowing that if I ever left, something would happen to them.

One day, Aunty’s husband showed up with a new iPhone and gave it to me. He asked if I was still interes...

EPISODE 11: Ever since my friend advised me not to reveal my location to Aunty’s husband, I stopped taking her counsel seriously. I decided to invite him over myself. When he arrived, I made him swear he wouldn’t tell Aunty where I was and warned that if he did, he would never set eyes on me again. He swore. My friend was deeply disappointed in me. She had strongly warned me not to call him, insisting these people could kill me if they found out. During his visit, he swore that thunder would strike him dead if he ever revealed my whereabouts. He even admitted that he wasn't comfortable with the way he had been sleeping with me, acknowledging that the age gap was too wide, considering I just turned 20 and he’s 35. As he prepared to leave, he pleaded with me to return home, saying Aunty would be worried sick. That made me furious. I looked him in the eye and said, “Oh, now you suddenly care about the same woman who can’t bear children for you more than me?” He was stunned and a...
