Family Affair - Episode 6

Cucumber and Anointing Oil

As Constance got to the sitting room, she observed that there was a complete sport newspaper on the table. Marvelous is the only sport fanatics in the house. She then knew he was around.

As she walked in the kitchen, he then saw Helen lighting the gas cooker and Marvelous washing the dish. Apparently she didn’t catch them.

They heard the sound of her loud voice singing as she opened the door outside. Before she got to the kitchen, they had quickly comport themselves. If not for her habit of always using ear phone, she would probably have heard the sound of the struggle among them when she came in. But apparently, all odds were against her.

Clapping her palms together, Constance said “eh eheh, wonders shall never end. Marvelous got home by this time? Marvelous washing the dishes? This must really be God oh” She said.

Marvelous and Helen looked at each other and were surprise at her mode of reasoning. She didn’t even ask why the husband came home on time or something. They thought she would have suspected something or anything. But obviously, she didn’t.

“But wait oh, how come, you are just lighting the gas? I thought you should have gone far by now?” Constance said facing Helen.

Stammering and not knowing what to say, Marvelous quickly came to her rescue and said “the gas cooker had issues. It wasn’t coming up. I just had to help her fix it now. Thank god I got home on time today.”

“Alright then, when you are done cooking, let me know” Constance said and walked inside and continued singing her song.

Again, Marvelous and Helen looked at themselves in amazement and this time around Marvelous shook his head in the negative and demonstrated with his hands “you see”. After this, Marvelous left the kitchen too and the dish he was pretending to have been washing.

At this, Helen knelt down and did the “sign of the cross” signifying her appreciation to God for first setting her free from her aunt’s husband and two making her aunt not to see them. “What kind of explanation would I have given” She said to herself.

But as the saying goes, “one who fights and run away, would surely come back and fight another day.”

At night that day, she kept on thinking about the incidence that had happened earlier on. Apart from the fact that, it would be wrong for her to sleep with her sister’s husband, she was also a virgin and was not even ready for sexual intercourse of any kind.

This thought were still going through her mind, when she heard a knock from her door. She got scared and thought Marvelous had finally decided to bring the battle to her room. She refused to answer the door and quickly put on a trouser as she was on her night gown before.

After, the third knock, she heard a voice behind the door and it was her aunt’s, not Marvelous.

She sighed deeply like one who had just finished a marathon. Then she went for the door.

“What took you so long to open the door?” Constance said.

“Am sorry Aunt, I was already asleep” She replied lying.

“Alright then, No problem. I would be sleeping in your room tonight. He keeps getting me annoyed” Constance said referring to her husband Marvelous.

Apparently, their quarrel has become one that is reserved for the “night” majorly due to the dance. The fight for gratification on the part of the Marvelous and the fight for satisfaction on the part of the Constance.

At night however, what Helen saw Constance doing was quite shocking. First she saw the cucumber, then the anointing oil. She could not easily comprehend as those two had their primary purposes.

If I Die Tomorrow - Episode 6

Those words of Ken’s mum kept running through Amanda’s mind all through the night, she kept wondering why a woman she barely know could be able to talk to her on marriage matters like she carried her in her womb for nine months. All that whispers to her mind is that she has gotten to the right place; the right man has finally come into her life. Her responsibilities as a woman has triggered to the level of understanding and endurance. No wonder they say that every level has a different demon she murmured. Kenneth who has been sited behind her touched her on the shoulder

   “Obi mu what did my mum tell you and what has been running through your mind” she asked

Amanda who didn’t know that he was already awake remained shocked and refused to talk, Ken moved closer to her and held her so close to himself persuading her to let out  what his mum to her, but she slammed the door of the topic by making him to know that the discussion was meant for only women. Kenneth chuckled “so she has poisoned you on keeping secrets, sorry I forgot it was my mum that discussed with you” he replied and went back to sleep.


Amanda returned home to meet the beautifully decorated arena for Ken’s birthday mini party; she made Ken’s apartment a colourful place for a memorable birthday. She putted it to herself that the birthday party was going to be mark in Kenneth’s life and that was why she took her time to satisfy her dreams. Tear rained down her eyes uncontrollably as she scattered the whole place, looking so played on, all through the years of their relationship she has never seen such guilt and lies consumed Kenneth’s face like she did at the hotel reception. Easily she could forgive so easily the reason behind the guilt and lies for no man is perfect, but what hurts her most was how long he kept her waiting at the reception. She felt like the world has finally come to an end, she at every interval cursed nature and life for bringing them together. She cursed the very first day she developed any feelings for Kenneth, She stood up after lots of lamentation wiped her tears, stood up and left the house looking so scattered with the cake scattered on the floor.

Amanda found her way into a drinking spot believing that the only means of erasing Kenneth’s memory from her life was drinking herself to stupor. She consistently drank in the bar that made some customers notice her presence for she could not be able to stop the tears from raining. Amanda who is ignorant of the fact that of any good relationship stands an impatient one waiting for the death of the relationship. Spunky one of the men waiting to hear the breakup of Kenneth and Amanda became so fortunate to be present in the bar. A woman’s heart can be swigged emotionally whenever she is traumatized, at this moment all Amanda wanted was someone that can console her and say some good things to her ear. To Spunky is a prayer answered, becoming Amanda’s boyfriend has always been his dreams and truly is about becoming dreams come true. He approached her stopped her from drinking more, cleaned her up, paid for the drinks and took her out of the bar. The both of them invariably turned out to be a cinema at that moment in the bar not until they both disappeared into thin air.

Kenneth’s return to the hotel room wasn’t funny at all because the both of them have refused to understand each other. Mirian wants them both to run out of the country and get married while Kenneth wants the baby to be aborted. The high tone of their voices got the hotel staffs attention that they came to the door of their room reminding them of other guests in the hotel that needs some rest. Ken who is looking so furious looked at Mirian which sends the message of him wanting to end her life if she ever refuses doing as he instructed.

   “Those eyes cannot frighten me to abort this baby” She reminded him

Kenneth ignored her picked up his phone and left the room, Mirian stood confused for she cannot say for sure what he is up to, and she sat down on the bed, picked up her phone and replayed all their discussions which she recorded, opened the message box of her phone, she types… “Should in case…”

Family Affair - Episode 5

The Struggle

For every night that comes, the dawn of the day is certain. Constance had successfully denied Marvelous of sex once more. But this time marvelous had made up his mind to cheat on her. Both of them woke up at the separate sides of the bed where they slept. There was no form of pleasantries of any kind, they however communicated their grievances to each other via non-verbal cues. 

“By the time your niece starts performing your bedroom duties you will know” Marvelous said within his heart. Then he got ready and went to work.

Later on, Constance and Helen went to the shop. Since Helen came, she has been the one doing most of the domestic duties. There was quite high patronage that evening, as Christmas was approaching and most girls were doing their shopping already. 

“Helen, you would have to leave on time, so you could go to the market and get some stuffs for tonight and tomorrow. You could start cooking it before I come also. You have been here for like two weeks now, am sure you should be use to everything at home now” Constance said to Helen.

Helen got home by 5pm thereabout, but was surprised to have seen the gates opened.
“Could we have left this gate open?” She thought within herself. Unfortunately, as she opened the inner door, she saw Mr. Marvelous watching football in the sitting room. She was shocked to see him, but what could she have done?

Mr. Marvelous normally do not return until like 8 or 9pm as he works fir in the island. Today seems to have been unusual for him. “Good evening sir” Helen said. “It’s like you closed from work on time today sir, hope all is well?” She continued.

“Yeah, everything is fine. I had little Headache, and was told to go home on time today in order to have adequate rest today. We have a very important presentation tomorrow. I will have to be at my best mentally. Meanwhile, why are you even asking? And are you not supposed to still be at the shop by now.” Marvelous replied.
“Aunty sent me to come and prepare the meal. I think I would need to start to do that now sir” She said stammering, then walked away to the kitchen.

“I told you last week of how irresponsible your sister has become, but you didn’t believe me. Am sure you are getting to see that now?” Marvelous said. He had left watching the football and had gone with her to the kitchen”

“Sir, my aunty is a little bit busy in the shop. And it’s because I wanted to assist her. That’s part of the reasons I came. I don’t think my aunty the irresponsible type sir” Helen was able to muster the courage and defend her aunt.

At this moment, Marvelous drew closer to her. Helen shifted two inches backward. Marvelous kept on moving to her and as she kept on moving backwards, she had her back against the wall and could no longer move.

“I use to think, you were just beautiful, but now I see you have courage too.” Marvelous who was getting so close to her, whispered in her ears.
“Sir please you are leaning on me, you would get my toes bruised.” Helen who was now been pressed to the wall managed to say.

Marvelous ignored her complaint and pressed further, this time using his chest to rub her breast hardly. He then held both of her hands against the wall and spoke gently to her ears “You are very hot”
Helen who could no longer resist was only able to mutter some words out, “sir, what do you think you are doing? This is not right at all”

“What does it look like am doing little dove?” Marvelous said. 
Then, since he was already holding her fist tightly against the wall, he went further to try to kiss her. But this time around Helen struggled harder and was shaking her face vigorously to stop Marvelous from kissing her. As the struggle between them continued, Mrs. Constance Benjamin walked in.

If I Die Tommorow - Episode 5

Amanda who was already very furious boiling in anger stood watching the haggard Kenneth as he stands before her.

   “Are you done with the cooking” He faked up a smile

  “On day like today, you chose to make me feel worthless Ken” She said and left for the door

Kenneth stood still and watched her leave the hotel reception, truly her leaving is obviously an answered prayer. He can now think straight on how to get himself out of the mess, he reluctantly sits on the reception seat close to the standing air conditioner. The receptionist whom his attitude has left thinking approached her and asked him if the AC was not functioning well, considering the rate at which he was sweating. Kenneth didn’t even act like someone who was asked a question, for he was lost in thought. The little girl tapped him and asked

   “Sir I hope all is well”

Kenneth regained consciousness and quietly left the girl for the room. The poor girl looked so confused and cautioned herself to always mind her business before her caring acts lands her into an unavoidable trouble that may involve losing her job.


It was an august visit for Kenneth’s  parents on the 14th of February which is the day of love celebration as Kenneth brought home Amanda to meet with his parents telling them of his interest of spending the rest of his life with Amanda. Amanda cannot be to any environment without people loving her and wanting to be with her. Her outrageous qualities of a good woman have continued to make her have her way in any place she see herself in life.

Kenneth’s parents and siblings can’t stop been fund of her these few days she spent with them, they all cannot wait for Ken’s graduation so that they can go and do the traditional rites on her head, for them to  legally marry and be called husband and wife.

Her creative styles in the kitchen and her love in doing house chores stole away Kenneth’s mum heart away. She can’t obviously wait for the legal things to be done as she already calls Amanda “my wife”. Amanda has finally seen a new home, a home that he has for long prayed for, for she has always believed that a woman success is complete when she is been loved by the husband’s family and more especially the mother in-law. Right now Amanda sees herself as one of the most successful women in the world, she can’t really wait for the day Kenneth will come pay her bride price for she is really feeling like a married woman.

That faithful night Kenneth’s mum walked into Kenneth room and woke Amanda up, asked her to follow her to the parlour which she did without any questions for she sees her as her own mother. They entered the parlour and they both sat down Amanda fighting with her thoughts imagining what the old woman will have in stock for her.

Kenneth’s mum continued with telling her of her son’s weakest point, telling her how she needs to be patient like her for Kenneth is just a replica of the father both in character and looks.

  “You know my husband is so handsome, so also my son” She said smiling

Amanda put up her beautiful smile, Ken’s mum reminded her of the importance of smiles and how smiles heal a broken heart. She reminded her never to exchange words with Kenneth for doing so can make him act up strangely that will ruin a beautifully built relationship and later he will regret it. She also made her to understand that a woman is the care taker of her husband.

   “Learn today on how to build your home with your husband”

 “And don’t expect a man to remain faithful to the marriage, the faithfulness is on you to determine, my daughter men are polygamous in nature learn to live with it” she added. Obviously that part of the motherly advice was not accepted by her, her facial reaction sent the message to Ken’s mum. She adjusts herself and called on Amanda’s attention..

If I Die Tomorrow - Episode 4

Amanda who has waited at the reception impatiently for long continued calling Kenneth on phone, but he kept ignoring the calls it was then that it started getting clear to be that the caller identity he came to see at the hotel was not actually his cousin sister as he claimed.

Inside the room Kenneth is been faced with the greatest challenges on how to make Mirian succumb to accepting the only condition they have to make their act a dead secret, but obviously Mirian was not in any way helping matters. With tear streaming down from her eyes she reminded Kenneth the promises they made to each other during those beautiful moments they shared together in the village just one month back.

“Have you suddenly forgotten the promises we made to each as the birds of the quiet village bush sing a melodious song that forced us into taking an unplanned siesta?

“What about the love we shared in that beautiful stream of the village, those moments we fall into the glittering beautiful flowing water? So you want them all gone, the memories doesn’t ring a bell on your mind? If does nothing to you it does to me” She stood up and held him so tight

“Kenneth all through my life I have always loved you” She said sobbing

He held her on the hand as he uncontrollably broke into heavy downfall of tears “Mirian in as much as you love me I love you too, but we are bloods, we are cousins, your dad is my father’s younger brother and the only sibling, how will the world filter this news when it gets to their ears, where are we going to run to?”

“Please my dear sister all we need to do is to abort the baby, we are African and we need to think like Africans” He concluded and sits on the bed looking so deady.

“Yes we grew up to know that we are cousins, if brothers and sisters were not meant to love each other, then why did nature allow us develop those emotions, Kenneth even if it won’t work out I sincerely will keep this baby, for am not ready to murder an innocent child, yes it may come this way but don’t forget that God gives children” She truthfully spoke to Kenneth’s mindset

Kenneth was mad hearing such words from her, reminding her implications of keeping the baby. Letting her know that no matter how long they try to bury the secret that their baby will eventually in future demand to know his or her father, “how strong will you be then to forgive yourself for lying to your first child”

The both of them remained speechless sobbing; Ken’s phone never stopped ringing

“Go and answer your girlfriend” Mirian told him

Kenneth looked as guilty as he picked up the phone, with his handkerchief he cleaned his tears and lest the room. Mirian wished for death to come but the death seemed to be so far away that it can hear the cry of a life in need of it to consume. A lot of things kept swimming in her ocean of thought, but nothing reasonable could be captured on a way forward.

Kenneth remained at the staircase and wished he could wake up from the terrible dream; he is still standing fighting so hard to see some reasons he could give to Amanda for spending more time after telling her she was coming down to meet her at the reception.

“I wished that Christmas never came, Oh God I wished I never woke up on that New Year eve”

His phone rang again that he almost lost his step on the staircase, at once he made up his mind to face any cruel thing that will come out of the whole thing and still wished for the rays of the sun to wake him up as it did in that morning.

Family Affair - Episode 4

The Lesbians

Constance abnormal sexual escapades had started back in secondary school. It was an all-girls boarding school. And as the customs of most girls’ boarding school are, she would have to perform some domestic duties for her ‘seniors’. Senior Rita was one nobody gets to mess up with. Otherwise you would have to receiving the mal-treatment of your life.

Constance, a 14 year old girl then was unfortunate to have fallen in Senior Rita’s wahala. She mistakenly stepped on her toes. “But as you know, ignorance is not an excuse. You must receive your own punishment too just like the others” Senior Rita said. Just before Rita and her crew would start the mal-treatment on her, Senior Blessing came to Constance’s rescue. Apparently Senior Blessing may had seen good potentials in Constance prior to now.

Senior Blessing was the principal’s child and by the time she got to SS3 she became the head girl. While Rita and her crew were the tough ladies then in school, Blessing and the cliques under her leadership were untouchable by Rita’s folk. They found joy in liberating those that Rita had put in chains – in form of punishments in this context.

“Well, you may get away today, but you won’t get away tomorrow.” Rita said to Constance.

“It all depends. As long as she is part of my clique, you dare not touch her or you will have me to deal with also”. Blessing replied Rita on Constance’s behalf. From that day on, Constance was indebted to Blessing and thus became her follower. Only that it came at a cost - the cost of her body.

Two weeks into the Blessing’s clique, Constance was informed of her nomination as part of those to become Blessings school daughter. This is typical for the big girls in boarding school. The small ones who serve as the school daughters become their servants in disguise. They wash their clothes, copy their notes, keep them company and etc. If possible, they probably would write their exams for them too.

Worse of all was, the little girls were to involve in sexual intercourse with the school mother she is paired with of their cliques. This was not negotiable. If you leave, you become vulnerable to the Rita’s crew and your present may end up becoming worse than what you were.

Pointing at Constance, one of the girls in Blessing’s clique said “You! It’s your turn today. You will sleep in Senior Blessing bunk tonight”

This sent chills down Constance’s spine. With that statement, she already knew what the night would entail.

“I thought rescuing me from Senior Rita made Senior Blessing a shield and a blessing for me? But apparently, she isn’t a blessing but a curse. The only difference is that Senior Rita adds violence to hers” Constance thought within herself while going to her room that night. It was thus wiser that when faces with two evils, she chooses the lesser one. Of course, reporting to the Hostel Mistresses was not even an option.

At first, doing it was unpleasant and distasteful, but with time she became used to it. Part of her responsibilities to Blessing included massaging her, rubbing creams on her and using the vibrator on her. This she gets in return.

Time past, Senior Blessing and Rita’s phase passed out. Her set became the new ‘seniors’ and she and her colleagues also subjected younger ones who just came, to same fate that they once faced. And the cycle continued.

Meeting Marvelous in the university and with the disdain with which other individuals treated lesbians, she thought it right to have forsaken that path. But with Marvelous’ five minutes dances, she may just have to return to the old paths. Only that she would have to subject Helen the innocent to such fate as she once faced. And of course, that’s if Helen would agree.

If I Die Tomorrow - Episode 1

The morning was filled with so much hope of a brighter day, the sun shining so bright as the rays came through the window to distract Kenneth’s peaceful sleep. Kenneth an average height, handsome chocolate guy of late-twenties, slept so late the previous night sequel to his busy activities in school.

He was fortunate to be the president of student union government of Enugu state science and technology Enugu State, Nigeria, and that has always subjected him in having a very busy schedule in the school from Monday to Friday. Saturday morning has always been his free moment of having a solemn sleep but the sun brightness became a stumbling block to the peaceful morning he always had.

Kenneth was still so weak and reluctant from standing up to block the rays of light from the sun, anger written all over his face that he could beat up the sun if it were to be human. He is still on the bed a lot running on his mind when a knock came at the door.

“Who is there” he reluctantly replied after few minutes of his refusal to respond to the knock.

“Is me baby” Amanda replied from behind the door

He managed to stand up from the bed and covered the window with the curtain and straight to the door, on opening the door his mouth got consumed with millions of speechless words.

“Happy birthday my hero” Amanda wished him

So many students believed that Amanda’s love for Kenneth was based on his political status in the school, but days have progressively continued to grow old yet there have not been any form of unfaithfulness between the duos.

“I practically forgot that today is my birthday” Ken replied with a handsome smile taking the better part of his face“. Who in your shoes will remember such a day if not reminded by someone close to his heart, and do not forget that a woman role in a man’s life is to call his attention back when responsibilities and office schedule have succeeded in taking away his whole life” She replied and chuckled

Kenneth who has already been drowned by the ocean of emotions stood akimbo and looked directly into her eyes, smiled and whispered “You are the good luck of my life, thank you for loving the naughty me” tears of joy rained down from his eyes soaking the neck part of his pyjamas. She hugged him and passionately they kissed and entered the room.

Family Affair - Episode 3

Answers to Prayer

“Constance you have been avoiding me lately and it’s seriously getting out of hand. It’s being over three months now, and I have not had access to what I fully paid for. If men cheat now, you people will be complaining, meanwhile you are the cause” Marvelous angrily said to his wife Constance who faced the other side of their bed while they were preparing to sleep. Constance did not even bother to answer him.

For some time now, the duo had not engaged in any form of romantic affair that normal couples would have. This was beginning to get Marvelous pissed off. But he had only be patient enough simply because he had not seen another whom he desires. After all, Constance can still have the figurative title of the wife, while another warms his bed. The arrival of Helen had just made everything easy now.

On the part of Constance, she had been denying Marvelous his rightful access simply because she was no longer feeling it. She never used to be a fan for men, but because of what the society would say of her, she got hooked up with Marvelous. However, Marvelous made it easier for her to backslid to her normal way of life by constantly performing poorly during the “dance”. Marvelous often time than not, do not dance for more than five minutes. While Marvelous is rounding up, Constance is just getting set for it. This was a major issue between them.

This has led to sexual dissatisfaction on the part of Constance. She had left her old ways of getting satisfaction with the like gender when she got to the University. Meeting Marvelous further made it easier for her. But with her current state, she now feels going back would be the only option of her getting satisfied. The arrival of Helen had just been an answer to this prayer.

Here was innocent Helen in her room, on a phone conversation. She never knew she was the present thought occupying the mind of Marvelous and Constance. She was like a little bird who left the nest for the first time but never to return home the same.

Of course, since it was past 9pm, the phone conversation definitely would have been between lovers. Edwin had been trying to reconcile with Helen using different sorts of sweet words to recapture her hearts. And as expected, when a lady has fallen in love, and a guy plays his cards well enough, forgiveness always comes easily.

“Alright, agreed. No sex till marriage. I will try to wait. But you know say body nor be firewood oh. It won’t be easy, but I will try” Edwin said to her.

As expected of most folks who just graduated and are waiting for youth service. They don’t have a compulsory work to go the next day. They had all the time to talk, gist and laugh till eternity. Both birds continued the conversation till like 11:30pm that day as they had so much things to discuss on due to the little glitches they just had.

Since Edwin had joined the league back, Helen had become the thoughts in the minds of Marvelous, Constance, and Edwin. All with the ultimate aim of having sex with her. But she had little or no idea about this at all. Yet she was barely still a virgin. Poor Helen. Read more - www.ebonystory.com/story/family-affair/episode-4

Family Affair - Episode 2

Keep Your Boyfriend, but Satisfy Me

"Aunty Constance oh, Hope everything is okay between you and Uncle Marvelous? I observed some glitch in your communication yesterday." Helen said

Both ladies were having laundry together and had chatted on so many other issues prior to Helen's question.

While, Constance may be Helen's aunt, she is just 8 years older than Helen. And since Helen's mum had been the ward of Constance as her younger sibling, Helen and Constance had thus always been fond of each other.

"Oh, yesterday? You mean while He meant us in the kitchen? Well, I don't know for him oh. Maybe he was stressed out from work or something. You know men can think they are doing ladies a favour because they go to work. So they can become bossy and aggressive some times. Nothing is wrong though." Constance replied

"Well, I just hope so then" Helen said gently.

Meanwhile, aunty oh, you haven't still thought of having a child? Or is it not still time yet? The last time, we spoke about that on phone, you said you both had mutual agreement not to have babies until your third wedding anniversary. It's over four years now oh" Helen added

"Hahahaha" Constance laughed deeply.

"You will not kill me with laughter you this girl. Of course we had said that, but we are not God that gives children. So we would be patient still." Constance added.

"Hmm, alright then. Am sure God would send the children soon enough, because I need to start carrying babies oh. I can’t just wait" Helen said and smiled.

"If it's to carry baby, that’s not a problem. What about Edwin, your boyfriend. You both use to be in love then. Tell him to put the baby inside of you, then you can carry one" Constance teasingly said.

"Edwin? That one. I have told him to stay on his own for now jare. All he thinks of these days is sex, sex, sex. I have told him to go and have a rethink of our relationship. I’m not ready for sex yet. Am barely 22." Helen replied

"22 kor. Your mum was just 19 when she had you. Be giving yourself hope there that you are still young." Constance said and laughed walking away. She went to take her bath.

“Aunty Constance” Helen called out aloud.

“It’s like you kind of take so much time bathing oh. Well, am not surprised though. When you were still with us then, you could spend forty-five minutes stretch to take your bath. I use to wonder what you were washing then. Only just that now, it’s probably up to an hour.” Helen said and laughed.

“Well, its needful you know. We use to stay longer then as borders in secondary school. Am sure you will come to understand why later” Constance said with a rather smiling face. As usual, they both laughed it.

Later that evening when Marvelous returned, he walked up straight to the kitchen where Helen was and tickled her. In shock, the glass dish in her hands fell off, shattering with a loud sound. Constance was busy with other things inside. And as her custom was, she was on ear phone listening to Rihanna her favourite musician.

Looking back, Helen discovered it was her aunt’s husband. The tickling further gave meaning to the wink of yesterday. “It is my uncle, why should I shout or complain?” She thought. Bending down to pick the broken pieces of plates, Marvelous bent with her. The manner at which she bent made her cleavages exposed.

Staring at the free movie, Marvelous said “Your body is as beautiful as your face.”

Helen quickly adjusted herself. She kept quiet as she didn’t know the appropriate response to give. Then she got up and continued with her dish.

Marvelous who refused to leave continued, “you have grown so big, am sure you know that now too? Anybody would give up whatever they have just to have you.”

“Please sir, am so sorry, am not interested. I have a boyfriend already.” Helen sheepishly replied.

“Oh, interested? You don’t have to be my dear. You can keep your boyfriend, all you have to do is just satisfy me. You understand what I mean” Marvelous replied.

“My Aunt. What about my aunt? I don’t want to scatter her marriage sir. Just please leave me alone or I will report to her”

Marvelous cackled softly and said “You mean Constance? Well, there are still too many things about that aunt of yours that you have not yet known. Now, tell me. Where is your aunt? How many responsible wives would leave all their kitchen duties to their niece who came visiting? Hmm? How many responsible wives would not welcome their husband after a hard day’s job? Please spare me that threat little dove. I may have to encounter lot of problem to having you, but your aunt is definitely not one of them, trust me.”

Family Affair - Episode 1

"Push...! Push...! Push...!" The medical team in the labour room kept on screaming. The team was headed by a female doctor. And as it’s typical of some Nigerian Government Doctors, the manner at which they talk to women in the labour room can be so frustrating. Sometimes, their words can be more painful than the labour pain itself.

“My friend, I can’t remember putting that thing inside of you, I’m only trying to be nice by helping you bring it out, so you better cooperate and push, so I can get out of here” the lead doctor said.

However, Helen's eyes were beginning to dim. Strength was failing her and all she could think of that moment were not the doctors’ statements but the mistake of not yielding to Elizabeth' advice and having that abortion. Perhaps that would have been a better option than this. "Aborting a baby and me dying now, which could have actually been better" She thought within herself.

Exactly fifteen months before now, Helen had come to stay with her Aunt in Port-Harcourt. She had just graduated from University of Lagos where she read Economics.

Determined to help her aunt who had been part of helping her financially while in school, she decided to repay her the debt by assisting her in sales of girls-wears in her boutique pending when youth service starts in six months’ time. But before six months could come, everything about Helen seems to have fallen apart. Safe what she had beneath her chest - the duo still stood firm.

"Helen, you have grown so big. The last time we met face to face, you were still trying to grow some small oranges in front. Am sure men would have all been queuing to be with you before you graduated now? Especially now that what you have are no longer oranges but water melons" Aunty Constance teased her and laughed.

Helen who has always been known to be shy, quickly put her two hands in her face as she if she didn’t want to hear it and smiled gently. Then she said "Aunty Constance abeg oh, don’t come and spoil me, your girl is innocent jare. Meanwhile, water melon is in the eyes of the beholder." She said and both laughed together

Afterwards, Helen and Aunty Constance had a very long chat while preparing meal for Uncle Marvelous, Aunty Constance’s husband.

Helen told Aunty Constance lots of stories about school. Guys following her about and all. How most of them keep focusing on having sex with her and not really because they loved her.

"I am determined to keep my virginity till marriage oh. Any guy who wants to sleep with me must first be ready to first marry me. I can't afford to be dumped by one bloody undergraduate who cannot distinguish his right from left yet." Helen said

"That's my girl jare. You see, when I was in school then, same was my principle. Marvelous had to see my parents before he saw my unclothedness oh" Aunty Constance said

Just then Marvelous came in. He was quite exhausted from the day's work.

"Welcome Darling, how was work today?" Constance said

Ignoring Constance's statement, he said "Who is this beautiful lady? Her face kind of look familiar" referring to Helen

"Is that why you wouldn't even answer me?" She said and then hissed.

Then she continued "Well, this is Helen. My niece. The one I told you about that keeps asking for money here and there. She is now a graduate oh. A big girl for that matter."

Looking at Helen, he said "Young lady, you are welcome. I am sure we would have more time to discuss about your school adventure. Make yourself comfortable"

Helen who had not mentioned a word all these while simply said "Thank you sir."

Marvelous gently replied "you are welcome" and then winked at her.

Constance didn't see this. But at that moment, Helen whom it was directed to, began to feel uncomfortable, and then knew something was fishy about Mr. Marvelous Benjamin.

“But one cannot effectively conclude about another just because of a wink?” She thought.

It was barely still day one with the Benjamin’s. She was still safe, though for now.
