huddled up in a corner inside one room with her family, was Cecilia and a family of 5 who were watching tv. my attention was not on the tv, my mind was far thinking of what will happen in the night after dinner at 9pm we spread our mats and slept while our parents sleep on the bed.
it was dark when I opened my eyes and felt a hand touching my little breast and fingering me I was scared and at the same time had a strange feeling at the pit of my stomach, it was my step father Lucky eneyi , he kept giving me strange feelings but I did a rethink he's my mom's husband it was wrong so I pushed his hands away he left immediately as not to alert the others who were sleeping. the next day I told my mom and she confronted him and they had a huge fight he chased me, my mom and sister out of the house, we were Catholics so the priest intervened and settled the issue. after then my step father's hatred for me increased, the constant fights, the beating he'd give me it wasn't easy.
my mom had me and my younger sister Tari for my dad before they divorced, my step father Lucky eneyi had Akpos and Tamara with his late wife before meeting mom. Tari my kid sister was just 6 years old while I was 12.
it became so unbearable to live there so the priest moved me away from the house to love with a church member.
