EPISODE 49
? VALERIE ?
“Hey, what’s up with you? I said walking to the sitting room . Angel sat on the chair crouched. She wore a sleeveless top and a bumshort. She was watching TV and feeding on some popcorn.
“Nothing… just felt like sitting here , where’s my boy? She said
“Ohhh…I put him to sleep not quite long, he’s becoming troublesome these days, it’s high time I enrolled him in a creche,but I wanna do that when I start working”. I said as she adjusted for me to sit.
“Talking about work…I found one for you, it was all Drake’s idea”.
“There you go again with the Drake idea…..okay what’s the job?
“Cooking”. She bursted out laughing
“What? Are you fucking kidding me right now? I slapped her laps .
“I’m dead serious,he called me and was like…yo! Babe I found a work for Val….she’s not gonna like it but she has to do it…” She mimicked him in his voice as we both laughed.
“So….will I open a shop or what? And what business?
“Grilled fish are the best here…you can take noodles as the compliment cook it in a Korean style and attract lots of New York citizens my darling…. we’ll do it together,if that’s what you want”. She said .
“You actually read my mind”. I giggled
“You’re welcome” . She laughed
“What about shop?
“You mean… outside our house? She said .
“What???
“See,to take care of our Jordan we need money…we can’t rely on Drake alone , I feel the burden is too much for him to bear….he has his own life to live and you have yours . We all have our responsibilities to play in this life , the fact that Drake helps us doesn’t mean we should saddle his shoulders with our burden”. She said as I ate popcorn.
It’s been a while I heard motivation from people especially Nanny Jade
“Wow! Our Angel has grown up to be a motivational speaker”. I laughed
“WTF , you need to depend on yourself my darling and not any man”. She spanked me
“That’s true.. talking about man…I’ve never seen you with a guy before,how come? I said , this time I was so serious .
Her mood changed at once as she sat well .
“That’s a deep question”. She smiled faintly
“Yeah and I need a sincere answer from you, I only see you with Drake and no other guy”. I was serious too .
“Phew….it’s a long story,I’ll talk about it since you wanna know”.
“Okay”.
“My father was the root of all these, my mother died when I was so young, that’s because she was always submissive to domestic violence. She never spoke up just like me . I saw him the day he klled her,and he dumped her body somewhere I don’t know….I was timid,I had no body to talk to …. until one day when he took my vrgnity”
“What? My eyes was widened. She was already in tears. I was already blaming myself for asking her but I wanna know the end of the story.
“Yes, my vrgnty…my pride…my everything”. She screamed
“Angel? I held her hand
“As if that was not enough,he made me se.duce a poor man so the man could end up in jail . My father is a dmon in a sheep clothing. Mr Mark was this honest man who would never stoop so low to lay with a child old enough to be his child.
He actually had two children who were twins during that time . I forced myself on him….I ….I was following my father’s orders,Father wanted a contract all to himself and I guess Mr Mark won the contract,on this fateful day Father came home so sad and he told me to get prepared.
He did all the strategies….I was barely eighteen. He planned it well and everything fell in place that Mr Mark had to sacrifice himself to save me from my father’s wrath” . She said.
The story was starting to get familiar. Like I’ve watched it in a movie. It became so real again.
“He was taken to the station and…and his wife and children couldn’t contain the anger in them,his wife actually believed in him that he would never take advantage of a child….yet my accusations were firm that he raped me. Dad made me force a poor man to go to jail for years ….I bet he’s still in jail as we speak …. I’m forever indebted to his family “. She wept
“I’m sorry,I’m sorry” . I drew her close to me and wiped her tears.
“I wish I was not born at all…It’s enough that my father had me ab.ort a baby for him.
It’s enough that he made me his sx toy.
That night was the night I dread a lot.
I begged and begged him. He made sure I was properly chained, both hands and legs.
As he inserted them into me, I bled that night thankfully I didn’t die . He invited a doctor over to treat me after paying him handsomely to shut his mouth.
I knew my life was ruined when I overheard the doctor telling him that my womb has been damaged and I can never have a baby again. He even he had to remove my womb. Having sx with me can’t produce anything but pleasure.
Each day momentarily passing away was pain for me. They say I tried to take away my life I didn’t die. Yet the pain was unbearable and deadly . I wish I died,I wish I was not born Valerie”. She wept again .
“Don’t talk like that Angel, what about your father? I said patting her back.
“My father? I klled him and called the cops that thief barged into our house and klled him while I went to school , they actually believed me and he was buried ….after then I knew peace but I pity the man who was thrown behind bars for twelve years”. She said
“I never knew you went through these, the story looked so familiar, the kids you’re talking about….are they twins?
“Yes,why? She sniffled
“Do you remember their names? The name Mr Mark sounded familiar that’s why I wanna know”
“Uhmmm….it seems they had this hummm… name, that start with ‘J’ or ‘G’. I really don’t remember”
“Jennifer and Jeffery”. I said with my eyes widened.
Oh my gosh!
“Yeah….wait! How did you know them? She faced me
“That’s because they’re the twin friends I told you about who has always stood by me… their father is still in prison”. I broke down in tears .
“You’re kidding right?
“I’ll show you proof if you can still recognize them”. I stood up and brought out my phone as I scrolled through the apps down to the gallery. I clicked on it and brought out their pictures.
“Oh my gosh! It really is Jeffrey…. Jennifer…. they’ve grown so big….” She cried
“It’s a small world”. I patted her back.
“I…I need to see them, I need to bail their father…I need to bring him out”
“That means you’re traveling to Canada?
“If it means that…do you wanna come along?
“Nah,it just reminds me of my past…I don’t wanna go…I’ll stay here with Jordan”
“Are you sure you’ll be fine alone? I’m booking the next flight tomorrow morning,I need to pack some stuffs”.
“I’ll call Jennifer and inform her that you’re coming or what do we do?
“I’m a bit confused too….what I need to do is? Okay….do you know the address of the prison, I should be able to do something about this….Angel, think …think….think please,this man can’t suffer alone like this….he sacrificed for you,so think and get him out of your mess”. She paced up and down hitting her forehead .
Her eyes were puffy and red. She’s obviously feeling bad. I pity Jennifer and Jeffery the more, they’ve missed fatherly love eversince they were young .
“Yes, I’ll just go there and cause a scene then I’ll be summoned and asked what I want…..I’ll explain in details all that happened,I’ll pay if they want me to bail him, one thing for sure is that I won’t leave that place without Mr Mark”. She said with a reassuring smile.

????????THE NEXT DAY
“Be a good boy to Mama, don’t disturb her…Okay ?
“Can’t I follow you? Jordan said tagging along as we entered the car together. Valerie drove , I already taught her how to do most things by herself.
“Awww,baby… I wish I can take you along but it’s not possible, I’m going there to do something very important and I’ll soon be back . I promise you lots of candies and toys”. I smiled patting his hairy head .
“Okay… I’ll miss you”. He said resting his head on my chest.
Those words brought to tears to my eyes. I couldn’t help but cry as I hugged him tight
“I love you so much Son”. I hugged him.
“Come on, do you want me to start crying too? Valerie said looking at us through the rear mirror .
“I’m sorry….I just….I just”. I broke down in tears . Jordan and I cleaved unto ourselves like husband and wife. I just patted his back and ran my hands through his hair till he dozed off .
“He’s asleep? His mom asked
“Yeah, concerning the stuff we wanna start, I caller a friend of mine to help you with it…. she’s gonna come today and stay with you till I come back”. I said .
“WHATTT??? She pressed the brake suddenly
“I’m sorry,I just can’t leave you and Jordan alone”.
“And you didn’t even tell me, I told you we can take care of ourselves,we could have waited for you before we start…I hate how you do things sometimes”. She said angrily
“I’m sorry….I’m sorry babe”. I rubbed her shoulder but she shrugged them .
My phone rang .
“Cecilia? Ohhh…. you’re home already? That’s good, you can stay in the compound, she’ll soon be back please take good care of them while I’m away…I won’t stay long too and yes, the business teach her well…
“Okay,no problem,you can trust me”
“Thank you so much,bye”. I hanged up.
“Will you stop frowning and focus? I chuckled.
“It ain’t funny but annoying”. She sulked
We finally got to the airport and we brought my little luggage out . She carried Jordan in a carrier so we don’t lose him since the airport was quite rowdy .
“Bye”. I hugged them both as I kssed their head. It was as if I’m Valerie’s mother .
I turned to leave when I heard a calm but sweet voice.
“Bye Auntie “. I turned and it was Jordan
“Awww,come here…let me hug you for that last time”. I said as I brought him out from the carrier
“What do you mean for the last time? Valerie interrupted me
“I mean, for now”
“You won’t take long, will you?
“Gosh! Are you missing me already?
“Whatever! My regards to Drake…tell him to visit us soon”
“Okay ….Baby, I’ll get you your Superman toy when I’m back and lots of balls….and yes, I’ll upgrade your room and I’ll kll the Snow Queen”
“Yhayyyy….kll the Snow Queen”. He cheered clapping his little hands.
“The Aeroplane takes off to Canada in less than 10 minutes…..fasten your seatbelts and tidy up”. The flight attendant said .
“Gosh….bye,gotta go….call me when you need anything, Hurry Cecilia is waiting at home”. I said handling Jordan to her .
I heard him crying as I turned to leave , I didn’t wanna leave him but I had to .
Mr Mark and his family needs me
