…What in the name of heaven is going on here, she asked in so much anger,,,,,I was shivering, didn’t know how to start explaining that her husband has been trying to have sëx with me since the first day I came,,, I was confused and didn’t know how to start,,, are the both of you deaf or dumb, what is going on here,,,,she shouted…. Ma,,itssssssssss
Will you keep quiet you she devil, Mr Douglas said,I rised my head and starred at him in shock,,,, he turned to his wife,,honey, from the very moment this devil came to this House, she has been seducing me,I told her I couldn’t cheat on my wife because I love you so much,but she wouldn’t listen,she insisted she loves me so much, I tried ,to make her understand that am happily married,oh God knows I tried, (now he was crying), but this devil here wouldn’t let me be,he turned to me,you are happy now right,you are happy,this is what you came to my house to do,to destroy my happy home,and cause problems between I and my lovely wife….I was looking at him in so much shock,,,,,,,
How dare you seduce my husband you slot,I thought you were responsible and well mannered,and to think you were living with a pastor’s family,I trusted you with my home, treated you like a sister,and this is what you do,ma,I can neverrrrrrrr,i tried to explain,shut that trash you call a mouth you good for nothing home wrecker….But ma,I didn’t do any thing,i can never seduce a man,let allow one who is married,you saw him trying to force himself on me didn’t you,I was crying profusely..ma your husband has been harassing me since I came to this house, I tried tooooooo,a hot slap shut me up,,,,how dare you accuse my husband of promiscuity,,,, my husband has never,ever cheated on me,let alone with a maid like you,you are a she devil and my home is no place for you… Get your dirty self to your room pack your clothes and get out of my house you evil one,,,,,
I knelt down and begged,ma please have mercy, I have no where to go,please ma,forgive me,,I turned to Mr Douglas, sir please say something, do something, you know I didn’t seduce you please sir,Mrs Douglas dragged me to my room on the ground like a non living thing,put my bag on my head and was pushing me out,I sustained some bruises, I was still begging her,all to no avail,we got to the sitting room and Mr Douglas was still there not saying a word….his wife was still shouting at me and insulting me..,ma,please enough of the insults,I shouted, i am leaving your house,but your husband will be caught again for who he really is,I took my bag and was heading out,,,,get out you shameless prostitute Mr Douglas said,,I was close to the door,I couldn’t take his own insults,I understood his wife’s plight, certainly not his, I dropped my bag on the floor, walked to where he was,gave him two dirty slaps,that’s for all the harassment you dog…they were both too shock to say a word,before they could say something I hurriedly took my bag and went out…..
Coming out of the gate, I knew I was doomed,I had no hope,and no one in Lagos,I knew I couldn’t go back to the pastor’s house, because it was obvious mama doesn’t like me,and when she would have heard what happened in the Douglas’s house, it will increase her dislike, I also don’t want to be a burden to the Pastor, hence i was just walking with no destination in mind,,,I looked for a place to eat,and continued walking….
Just then I saw a guy looking at me strangely, he was walking with another guy,I didn’t know what he had told the other and they both started walking towards my direction in anger,,,I was confused,and later thought maybe they aren’t coming towards me,,,but the more they walked,the more they came closer to me,when I saw they were approaching me,I quickly started running,,,but i was no match for the two of them,they caught up with me,and held me,,,,,so this is how far you can go, ehehenn you thief, this is how far you can run and hide,,,,I felt a hot slap on my face,,,what are you talking about sir,shut up you thief,you had the mind to steal from me, my hard earned dollars,,,,me,dollars, sir its NOT ME I pleaded,but it fell on deaf ears,people had started coming from right and left,and the beating had increased,I begged, pleaded,and shouted that they held the wrong person,but all my plead fell on deaf ears,I thought my life was over,because only a miracle could save me….
