A teenage girl named nancy lost her father in a gaseling motor accident at a tender age..
Now she as no idea as to how her father looks like, and keep pestering her mother to tell her about how her father was, when he was alive. All to no avail
Along the line, she gained admission into a polytechnic to study
accountancy.
As a first year diploma student of
accountancy, she became really close to Ahmed, a final year HND student
of the same department.
While Nancy saw in him a guardian, Ahmed
saw in her, a prey he couldn’t wait to feast on. He slept with her and
deceived her into thinking that he cared very much about her.
Shortly before he graduated, he pledged
his undying love for her and she believed him. Unfortunately, whatever
existed between them both ended as soon as he left. Try as she could,
nothing could be done about restoring their relationship. He had moved
on with another woman.
She picked up the pieces of her life and
moved on. Not too long after, she met Lawrence, an older student in the
same polytechnic.
He was contented remaining her very good
friend, offering her succour and advice when needed but Nancy wanted
more. She loved his disposition and wanted him for keeps. With time, she
won him over and like her previous relationship, it ended same way.
Again, she moved on. By the time she
began making plans to start her internship; her mother had found love
with a well-known business man, Igwe Albert, who married her as his
second wife.
Naturally, Nancy became his step
daughter. Igwe ensured that his new wife was happy—he set her up in
business, got her a good apartment and a car. He also ensured that his
step daughter lacked nothing.
He even urged her to have her internship
in the accounts department of his company. Seeing how well she did her
job and even helping to reduce his overhead cost, he came to appreciate
her and showered her with praises and gifts.
It soon got to a point where she stayed
back after most of the workers have closed for the day, balancing the
books. On such occasions, Igwe would stay back to keep her company and
related with her the way a father would with a daughter.
Nancy appreciated this kind gesture and quickly warmed up to him. She was glad to have found a real father figure at last!
One evening, when they were relating
as usual, their discussion soon became raunchy and they had sex in the
office! She felt bad that she had betrayed her mother.
“I don’t want you to tell your mother
about what happened tonight,” Igwe said and signed a cheque of N2m in
her name. She didn’t believe he could be this generous and thought this
could be the last intimate moment they would share together.
But it wasn’t. Igwe kept coming for her
and so were the gifts and money. Her initial fear was erased. Nancy
relaxed and went full throttle with him. Not even the mother suspected
anything because she believed her husband was taking care of her
daughter.
Three months after, she became pregnant and her mother and the first wife soon found out. But Nancy refused an abortion.
“Mother, do you remember what the
prophet you took me to when I was 18 years old said?” Nancy asked her
mother. Her mother had taken her to a prophet for prayers when she
suffered from a strange ailment and medical help failed. Nancy was
prayed for and she got better. The prophet warned her mother that the
girl must never have an abortion, if she did, she would die!
“So, you are going to keep the pregnancy and marry my husband?” her mother said despitefully.
“Nancy, the prophecy was five years ago and it was because of your illness. You must go for an abortion.”
Surprisingly, even Igwe sits on the
fence about it and told mother and daughter to take the decision they
felt was the best for them.
But both Nancy’s mother and his first wife are set for battle. They asked that the pregnancy be terminated.
