********†**********

I was kept in the hospital for about 2 weeks before I was finally discharged.

I packed my luggages inside the Booth of the car I hopped into the back seat,

And then we drove home.

"Bitch, i want you to go to the kitchen now and make me some food am starving , make sure you Clean the kitchen, when you're done you are to do my laundry and wash my car and if you need me am at the yard trashing your mother's remains"  he commanded me more like am a slave that is parentless," well am an orphan 'cos he isn't even worthy to be tagged my stepfather, I hate my life now, am sure this is the end of everything, what kind of life am a born to live,am a born to suffer, I just give up and put everything to the hands of God, no hope, no mother, no father, no school, no care"I kept soliloquizing till I got to the kitchen.

On getting to the kitchen I couldn't believe me eyes, It was  dirty, smelly, scattered, full of unwashed dished and rotten remains. I remembered that I left here clean before rushing to the hospital, am so dissapointed , weak and tired .

I clean the kitchen and also the whole house to disallow further disturbance from my stepdad , I served his food and I ate mine in the kitchen, am so glad that am done for the day and I deserved rest am so tired.

I started walking up to my room in quietness the my step dad attacked me from the back and since I was weak and tired I couldn't fight back.

"Don't let this be like the last time , give yourself to me and you'll enjoy me, also remember that no one will rescue you so I'll advise you not to make any annoying noise " He threatened me...  I was to weak, tired , cold, helpless, and sick. So I have to surrender to this son if a bitch.

So once again am being raped.

*************

So 'the devil' my stepdad has travelled and would be gone for about two weeks. So today I decided to go-to the park and have some fun or maybe make new friends. Am reading a Shakespearean novel while sitting on a bench .

It's been a very cool and ideal evening for me and as soon as the sun is about to go down I'll head home and enjoy my peace while it lasts.

I notice that something or someone is obstructing the ray of light pose towards my book so.i decided to look up and see what caused it.

Close to me was standing a very gorgeous looking guy who look more like a Greek god , oh am almost drooling 🤤🤤, he looks more like the man of my dreams.

" I can see that you're reading a Shakespearean novel, lemme take a look at it" the boy said as I handed him the book, my mouth was slightly open 'cos I am stunned by his handsomeness .

"Pls close your mouth......"he said as he smirked at me", well, well,well ,what do we have here ,mid summer night dream, cool, I love this book , so interesting don't lemme be a spoile,r so I'll have to keep mute" he said nicely

"No worries , it's okay by me" I replied

"I'll give you time read the book, I'll also love you to try and read Ralph Ellison's 'invisible man' it's such a great novel" he advised me.

"Oh... thanks for the recommendation , I'll try to read it , nice meeting you am prudence short for Prudy" 

" Am sorry for not introducing myself at first , my bad, am Julian Ford nice meeting you as well" he stretches his hand for a hand shake, I shook his hands politely buh the thing is that i notice the reaction in his face after shaking my hands.
