Back in the 9os there lived a young child born as firstborn to the family of the Bolades. As soon as she was born, her father looked into her eyes and called her Unity because of the warm closeness he felt between him and his wife due to her procreation. Thing's we're fine between the Bolades family. Unity's father was a field worker, but her mom was a stag illiterate and could not speak english because of her akwaibom tongue, but Bolade still loved her due to her hard work as a woman and he decided to marry her.
Everyday, Bolade would come back from work home complaining of his eyes to Elizabeth his wife, but all she could do is to keep adding eye drops into it. But on one very day as Bolade was in the field, the metal he held close to the fire sparked, and the fire went straight into his eyes and blinded him. Before Elizabeth could rush to the hospital, she has already been informed that her husband is now permanently blind. From then on, Bolade was sacked from his work for putting danger to his fellow workers, and he remained in his home as a blind man in one couch for years.
No job, no money, no food. Things got harder for the Bolades family. And what was worse was that Elizabeth added three more children to her daughter. Their names are, Bami the second, Miracle the third , and Intoro the fourth. From five years of age, Unity learnt how to be a big sister to her siblings.
A little while later, Elizabeth started to do fishing as a business she had learnt from a young boy in just one day. It went well and she was able to enroll Unity into school. Unity did all she could and was able to get scholarship into a private secondary school, but it all got worse when she got the information that her mother has gastric alcer and is now vomiting blood. There was no money to treat her and Unity was close to her final exams as a student in secondary school. Elizabeth knew the hot situation her child was in, so she without telling anybody kept saving money for Unity to use and buy her textbooks and enroll into university too. On Unitys birthday as usual not expecting any gifts, Elizabeth gave Unity money to buy herself some textbooks, Unity was close to her final exams as a student from secondary school. Elizabeth knew the hot situation her child was in to, so she without telling anybody kept saving money for Unity to use and buy her textbooks and enroll into university too. On Unitys birthday, as usual not expecting any gifts Elizabeth gave Unity money to buy herself some textbooks, Unity was so happy that she didn't ask any questions but to say thank you. Unity read very hard for her examination. But it didn't take less than a month for Elizabeth's death. IT was a big distraction for Unity, but she didn't allow that to make her give up on her studies. Finally, Unity passed her exams successfully.
Out of frustration because of guilt of thinking that he was the cause of his wife's death, Bolade concealed himself from his family for days and later died out of a sudden heart attack that hit him. But before he died, he called to Unity and gave her the last savings of Elizabeth, and he said to her:"Unit our family once more again. Unity have a future, make me proud", and then he died. Due to her father's word's, Unity left her siblings behind inside the house, and enrolled for university. Money wasn't enough for her to feed herself in university, so she started sleeping with men to get money and to pass her exams, sometimes under pressure to do it. Finally, she found a guy who was the son of a wealthy business man in her school, and she made him her boyfriend, and he liked her. Finally, Unity finished her university and she and Steve(Her Boyfriend) later got married.
So finally after achieving what her father had told her on his deathbed, Unity decided to unit her family. She made reports in news of lost children, her siblings and posted it on scooper too. At last, Bami came to hear of it from one of her clients and decided to search for her missing elder sister. Unity gave her address to the internet, and Bami was able to locate where she was .
"Knock knock"."Am coming, who is it?" (Unity says).As the door opened , Unity saw her junior sister Bami whom she could not recognize standing in front of her. "It's me , your sister, Bami" (Bami replies)."Show me your birth mark " (Unity commands).Bami opened her butt and showed Unity her birthmark . As Unity reached to hug her sister, Bami immediately pulls away. "Look Unity, I didn't come here to reunite with you , I just came to inform you that due to how you abandoned us from childhood, I was used as sex trade by a lady, Madam Bossy, whom pulled me out from the streets away from Intoro and promised to adopt me if I could sleep with men for money. Now as I am speaking to you, I am a legalize prostitute, Intoro has joined bad freinds and is now a thief, and Miracle is a tomboy living with her gay girlfriend in the same house. These are their numbers for your information. I don't want you either calling or texting me. Unity you are a very bad sister, and you have failed your family. Am leaving".(Bami turned to leave). Unity tried her best to beg her sister , but Bami kept pushing away, and finally, she left.
Unity cried all day because of this. When Steve came back home, he saw Unity downhearted, he asked why, and Unity told him the whole story of what had happened. And then Steve suggested, "Why not you gather your family in my house as for now, together, till I get enough money to build them their own separate house".It sounded like a very best solution for Unity, and she immediately decided to do it. Unity called her two siblings, Intoro and Miracle to come home, and they were very happy for the sound of it due to the abject poverty they were facing. They both packed their loggages, and came into Unity's home. But Bami was remaining. So Unity asked her siblings of where Bami was staying, she went there with a brand new car and presented it as a gift to Bami. Though reluctant, Bami accepted the offer, and decided to live with Unity in herh home.
At first it started well, but later aftertime it was chaos. None of the siblings get along, they fight always. Steve couldn't concentrate on his work because of the constant noise made by Miracle and Intoro on music's and Tv. Everything in Steve's house got missing due to Intoro , and Bamis sex addiction brought about too much men and parties in Steve's home. But the worse part was that, Unity was never noticing any of this. She felt like Steve was too over reacting and cannot endure because he has money, and this led to constant fights and arguments. There was no peace in the house, until Steve grew gross hatred for Unity's family and he began to treat them like garbage. It took lots of time till Steve began to sleep outside at night and avoided Unity's call's. This literally got to the notice of the siblings, and Intoro decided to make deeper investigation's on it. He had so many friends and they began to spy on Steve all day till they got proof that Steve was cheating on Unity with his receptionist (Steve's former ex girlfriend in university). They took a picture of their romance, and sent it to Intoro.
