sister is Rich now you will live in a big house eat good food and go to school like her children this is a blessing asterisk 13-year-old Anika believed her mother she believed in a better life waiting for her at Auntie eunan’s house she knocked on the gate and a security man peeped through the small opening who you dare find I’m here to see my aunt Madame ifunia my name is Anika the man studded her from head to toe noticing her faded dress and Dusty slippers without a word he opened the gate leading her into a massive compound with shining cars parked neatly in a row Anika’s mouth fell open she had

never seen such a house before before she could take it all in the front door swung open and there stood Auntie aunia dressed in a flowing gown her gold jewelry glinting under the porch light but instead of the warm welcome Ana expected her aunt’s face Twisted in displeasure you’re just arriving now I sent your mother transport money last week what took you so long I I came as soon as I could Anika stammered ifunia scoffed come inside and wipe your feet don’t dirty my floor inside the house was even more beautiful white tiles

shining chandeliers and a scent of expensive perfume in the air Anika’s cousins sat on a long couch pressing their phones barely sparing her a glance a man walked in then tall dark and well-dressed her uncle oh the village girl has finally arrived he said smirking his eyes scanned her the same way someone would look at an old shoe I hope she won’t be a liability she will be useful if yania said sharply very useful that night Ana lay on a small mattress on the floor of a tiny room meant for storage no bed no blanket the cold floor bit into her skin as she

curled up confused her mother had said she would live like family but from the way her aunt spoke from the way her cousins ignored her she wasn’t sure anymore tomorrow would tell but deep down she already knew let me know if this first part is gripping enough enough or if you want any tweaks before we continue with part two Anika woke up to a sharp knock on the door wake up do you think this is your mother’s house where you sleep all day eunan’s voice was sharp and impatient go to the kitchen and wash the plates before my children wake up rubbing sleep from her eyes Anika hurriedly stood up her back

aching from the hard floor she moved quickly remembering the disappointment in her aunt’s eyes the night before as she stepped into the kitchen she gasped the sink was piled high with dirty plates greasy pots and left over food her hands trembled back home she helped her mother cook and clean but this this was different she picked up the first plate and started scrubbing the smell of dried soup and oil clung to her nose but she kept going she wanted to prove to her aunt that she was useful that she deserved to be here hours

passed before she finished just as she was about to sit down a loud voice called out Anika sweep the living room and arrang the chairs my guests are coming soon and I don’t want to see any D ifunia shouted from upstairs Anika sighed but picked up the broom she swept wiped and arranged until the whole house was spotless she barely had time to rest before her cousin chisam walked in chew chewing gum lazily Anika go and ey in my uniform I don’t want any lines on it Anika hesitated but chisar am’s eyes darkened did you just say but are you

stupid if you annoy my mom she will throw you out fear gripped Anika she nodded quickly and went to do as she was told by evening her legs felt like they didn’t belong to her anymore she had done laundry washed the bathroom rooms and even helped cook yet nobody asked if she had eaten she finally sneaked into the kitchen and took a small piece of bread left on the table just as she was about to take a bite a voice thundered behind her Thief you came to steal food now ABI ifunk husband namdi stood in the doorway his face Twisted with anger no

sir I shut up so after all the food you ate in the village you came here to eat us dry drop that bread now tears welled in Anika’s eyes as she slowly placed the bread back on the plate her stomach growled in protest but she swallowed her hunger along with her tears as she walked back to her tiny room she wondered is this really my new life days turned into weeks and Anika’s life became a never-ending cycle of chores and insults morning till night she scrubbed washed cooked and served yet no matter how hard she worked it was

never enough one afternoon as she was mopping the floor her cousin chisam walked in and kicked over the bucket of water oops she said with a smirk clean that up Anika clenched her fists but said nothing she picked up the rag and started again she had learned that talking back only made things worse later that evening eunan’s husband Nami returned home with some friends the house had to be spotless and the food had to be perfect Ana if yania snapped set the table quickly and make sure you don’t embarrass me Anika moved

swiftly arranging plates and serving dishes as she poured juice into a glass her hands trembled from exhaustion and the cup slipped crashing to the floor silence filled the room you stupid girl ifunia screamed grabbing her by the ear do you know how much that glass costs Anika’s eyes burned with tears as she mumbled I’m sorry ma if youan shoved her backward sorry for yourself no dinner for you tonight now clean this mess before my guests arrive as Anika knelt picking up the broken pieces she heard laughter from the living room nam’s guests were enjoying themselves eating the food she had cooked sitting in the

home she cleaned while she tired and and hungry picked up shards of glass from the floor that night as she lay on the cold hard floor of her tiny room her stomach empty and her body aching she wondered if her mother had any idea what was happening to her maybe she should write to her but would it change anything the morning sun streamed through the window but Anika didn’t feel its warmth she forced herself up despite the pain in her arms and legs today would be like every other day endless work and insult

she was halfway through scrubbing the bathroom when ifunia stormed in Anika what is this nonsense she barked pointing at a tiny Speck of dirt near the sink I I was just about to clean it Ma Ana stammered a hot slap landed on her cheek liar you’re lazy and ungrateful if you don’t finish this in 10 minutes you won’t eat today tears burned her eyes but she quickly turned back to scrubbing she had learned not to cry in front of them it only made things worse later that evening Nami had visitors again and as usual Anika was forced to serve them she carried a tray

of drinks into the sitting room keeping her head down ah namdi this your house help looks too small for all this work oh one of the guests said watching Anika struggle to balance the tray Nami chuckled she’s fine she needs to learn how to be useful in life life what about school the guest asked shouldn’t she be in school at her age if unan rolled her eyes school who will pay for that she came here to help not to waste money on school the guest looked at Anika then back at Nami this is not right every

child deserves an education you people are treating her like a slave Ana’s heart pounded no one had ever defended her before she stole a glance at the man he looked kind different from the others who ignored her suffering ifunia scoffed this is a Family Matter let’s talk about something else but the man wasn’t done Nami I insist I will personally sponsor this girl’s education you cannot refuse the room fell silent Anika’s hands shook was this real would she finally get a chance to go to school eunan’s face darkened but she forced a smile ah ogre EMA no problem since you

insist she turned to Anika with a cold glare you better not waste this opportunity Anika could barely breathe for the first time in a long time hope flickered in her heart Anika sat in the corner of the room her heart still racing was this really happening someone was finally standing up for her she could see the anger in eunan’s eyes but she didn’t care for the first time there was a light at the end of this dark tunnel the next morning EMA arrived early Anika get ready we’re going to enroll you in school today he said

firmly if yania forced a smile ah ogre EMA no need to rush she has many chores to do maybe next month no emica cut in I insist a child’s education is not something to delay let’s go Anika Anika quickly wiped her hands on her rapper and followed him her heart pounded with every step she was going to school they arrived at a modest but decent School in the heart of enugu the head mistress a strict looking woman with kind eyes welcomed them so you want to start school she asked Anika yes ma Anika replied her voice barely above a whisper

they returned home ifunia barely spoke to her but Anika didn’t care she had something bigger to focus on now the next morning she wore her new school uniform it felt strange but wonderful as she stepped out of the house chisam sneered look at you do you think going to school will change anything Youk always be our house girl Anika didn’t reply she just walked past her and out the door for the first time in years she felt free Anika stepped into the school compound her heart pounding with excitement and fear she had dreamed of this moment for so long but now that it was happening she

felt out of place would the other students laugh at her would they know she had been a housel she gripped her books tightly as she walked into the classroom the teacher a middle-aged woman with a gentle smile gestured for her to come forward class we have a new student joining us today her name is Anika please make her feel welcome a few students whispered among themselves but one girl adiz smiled at her come you can sit next to me relieved Anika took the seat beside adiz the lessons began and though she struggled At first she

listened carefully determined to catch up she would not waste this chance days turned into weeks and Anika poured her heart into her studies she woke up earlier than everyone else to complete her chores before school no matter how tired she was she refused to give up her teachers noticed her Det termination and soon she was catching up with her classmates one afternoon as she was solving a math problem on the board the teacher clapped well done Ana that’s correct keep it up for the first time in a long time she felt proud of herself

but back home if yania and chisam were not pleased so now you think you’re better than us because you go to school chisam sneered one evening as Anika sat in the corner revising ing her notes Anika kept quiet she knew better than to argue you better not fail ifan added after all the trouble ogre EMA went through for you don’t disgrace us Anika nodded but deep inside she made a silent promise she would not fail she would make something of herself no matter what it took Anika’s routine became a cycle of hard work endurance and Silent

victories she would wake Up Before Dawn complete her chores and rush to school always making sure not to give ifunia or chisam any reason to complain but no matter how much she tried they still found something to criticize one evening as she was washing the dishes chisam walked into the kitchen with a smirk you think going to school will change anything you’re still a servant in this house Anika ignored her and continued scrubbing the plates she had learned that responding only gave chisam more power look at you acting like you’re

special let’s see how long you last before you drop out Anika swallowed hard refusing to let the words sink in deep down she knew the truth education was her only way out she would never quit the next morning at school her teacher announced a big test this exam will determine your ranking in class the teacher said study well Anika felt a mix of fear and excitement she had been studying every night but was it enough that evening she sat outside under the dim security light reading her notes her eyes were heavy her hands achd but she pushed through weeks passed and the

results were finally out the teacher stood in front of the class I want to congratulate our top three students in third place we have chijioke in second place ad and in first place the teacher paused scanning the paper Ana gasps filled the classroom Anika’s eyes widened had she heard correctly the teacher smiled well done Anika you’ve made great progress for the first time in a long time she felt seen she had worked for this moment she had earned it that night as she cleared the dinner table eunan’s voice cut through the silence so you think

you’re smart now that school is getting to your head a let me warn you Anika don’t forget your place in this house Anika simply nodded but deep inside she made a promise to herself she would rise above all of this no matter what it took Anika’s victory in class only made life harder at home if yania and chisam were Relentless looking for any excuse to frustrate her they made her do extra chores barely let her sleep and even tried to hide her school books but Anika refused to break one evening as she ironed their school uniforms chisam

snatched Anika’s notebook from the table and flipped through it carelessly so you think you’re a genius now what are you even writing in this book she mocked Anika remained silent her hands gripping the iron tightly she had learned to pick her battles chisam scof s and tossed the book onto the floor clean that up house girl Anika bent down picked up her notebook and dusted it off she would not let their words stop her at school her teacher Mrs okaf for noticed how tired Anika looked Anika is everything okay you seem distracted Anika hesitated

before nodding I’m fine Ma Mrs okaf for didn’t believe her but she didn’t push instead she handed Anika a small packet of biscuits eat something you’re doing well but you need strength too Anika’s eyes welled up it had been a long time since anyone showed her kindness thank you Ma that evening she studied harder than ever the upcoming term exams were crucial and she refused to let anything hold her back she wrote notes in the dim glow of the security light her mind sharp despite her exhaustion Weeks Later the exam results were announced Anika

had not only topped her class again she had the highest score in the entire School her teacher beamed with pride Anika the principal wants to see you Anika’s heart pounded as she entered the office the principal an elderly man with a warm smile gestured for her to sit young lady you have a gift your hard work is inspiring we have decided to give give you a full scholarship your school fees books and uniform will all be taken care of Anika gasped sir are you serious the principal chuckled very serious keep working hard that night Anika couldn’t sleep not because of

exhaustion but because For the first time in a long time she felt hope real tangible hope when Anika got home that evening she was bursting with excitement a full scholarship it felt unreal but as she stepped into the house her Joy faded if youan was standing by the door with arms crossed a frown on her face Where Have You Been she demanded Anika hesitated school I did I not tell you to come back immediately after closing there are clothes to wash do you think you are a queen because you can read book Anika lowered her gaze she knew better than to argue that night as she

scrubbed the bathroom floor She replayed the principal’s words in her head your hard work is inspiring she held on to them like a Lifeline no matter what happened in this house she had a future ahead of her days turned into weeks and Anika’s scholarship became the talk of the school even some teachers who barely noticed her before began paying attention but at home if yania and chisam bitterness only grew they doubled her workload forcing her to stay up late and Wake Up Before Dawn one Saturday while Anika was outside washing a mountain of clothes her uncle’s friend Mr oin arrived he watched her for a

while before calling out Anika come here she wiped her hands on her wrapper and walked up to him her head slightly bowed good afternoon sir Mr oin glanced at the Heap of clothes then at the tired look on her face you are still doing all these chores are they not sending you to school before Anika could answer if Yan’s voice rang out ah brother oin she is just helping out she is a very stubborn girl so we make sure she stays busy Mr obin’s expression hardened helping out every time I come here this girl is working like a maid do you even let her rest if yania forced to smile

she is part of the family this is how children learn responsibility Mr oer scoffed I see Anika come to my office on Monday I will arrange something for you Anika’s heart skipped yes sir thank you sir as Mr oin walked into the house ifan shot Anika a murderous look you better not say anything foolish when you go there Ana knew this was a turning point something was about to change Monday morning arrived and Anika dressed carefully in her school uniform the scholarship had covered new clothes and for once she didn’t have to wear her cousin’s old oversized hammerd Downs she

still had chores to do before leaving the house but she moved quickly determined not to be late for school or for the meeting with Mr OA ifunia watched her closely as she swept the compound remember what I told you she warned don’t go there and start running your mouth if he asks anything you better say everything is fine Anika nodded without a word inside her heart was pounding after school she made her way to Mr ob’s office he was a well-respected businessman in enugu and she felt small as she stood outside his Grand office waiting for the secretary to call her in when the door finally

opened she took a deep breath and stepped inside Mr oer smiled warmly Anika sit down how are you I’m fine sir good afternoon sir he studded her for a moment before leaning forward I won’t waste your time I’ve seen the way your aunt treats you and I don’t like it a child should not suffer like that your scholarship is a blessing but I want to do more for you Anika blinked unsure of what he meant I have spoken to to the school administration they will allow you to stay in the school hostel so you don’t

have to go home every day that way you can focus on your studies without distractions Anika’s mouth fell open sir the hostel he nodded yes I will cover the fees you deserve better than what they are doing to you in that house do you want this Tears welled In Her Eyes for years she had endured pain in silence now someone was finally giving her a way out she nodded quickly yes sir I want it Mr oer smiled good I’ll handle everything just go home today and act normal don’t tell them yet by next week you will move to the hostel Anika

swallowed back a sob thank you sir thank you so much as she left the office a new feeling bloomed inside her hope real undeniable hope for the first time she saw a light at the end of the tunnel she was finally going to be free Anika kept her excitement hidden as she walked home that evening her heart was racing with joy but she knew better than to show it if if yania or chisam suspected anything they would do everything to ruin it she had only a few more days in that house and she wasn’t about to risk losing her chance at Freedom when she arrived ifunia was

already frowning why are you late she barked extra lessons Anika replied quickly lowering her gaze to avoid eye contact ifunia scoffed always one excuse or the other go and fetch water Anika nodded and hurried outside as she carried the heavy buckets back and forth she reminded herself just a few more days that night as she lay on the thin mattress in the corner of the room she shared with chisam she couldn’t sleep she kept imagining what it would feel like to live in the school hostel no more Waking Up Before Dawn to clean no

more insults no more eating the leftover food after everyone had finished the next morning she kept her routine the same she scrubbed cooked and ran errands if yania didn’t suspect a thing but as the days passed Anika couldn’t ignore chisam susp supicious looks on Friday night as they lay in the room chisam suddenly turned to her what’s going on with you she asked her voice low but sharp Anika stiffened what do you mean you’ve been acting strange you don’t look as miserable as before did something happen Anika forced a small

laugh nothing I just you’re lying chisam cut in sitting up tell me the truth or I’ll tell my mother that you’re hiding something Anika’s breath caught if if fania found out she took a deep breath fine I got a hostile space at school I’ll be moving next week chis ramk eyes widened what who gave you that Mr oer he arranged everything for a moment chisam said nothing then to Anika’s surprise she smirked so you’re finally leaving good for you Anika frowned you won’t tell your mother chisam Shrugged no but you better pray she doesn’t find out

another way if she does you won’t leave this house in one piece Anika swallowed hard she had to be careful just a few more days and she would be free Ana knew she had to move carefully the last few days in eunan’s house felt longer than the years she had spent there every moment she expected something to go wrong for if yania to somehow discover her plan and Crush her dream before she could Escape but she remained silent doing all her chores without complaint keeping her excitement buried deep inside the night before her departure she barely slept she lay awake staring

at the ceiling counting the hours until morning chisam was unusually quiet too stealing glances at her but saying nothing Anika couldn’t tell if it was guilt jealousy or something else she didn’t care her Freedom was Within Reach at dawn she quickly got up and swept the house as usual making sure to leave everything spotless if yania had always been harsh but lately her mood had been even worse her husband had been coming home late and there were whispers about trouble at his office but Anika didn’t care about their problems for once she was thinking of herself she had planned everything with Mr OA he

told her to meet him at the school gate by noon if yania had given her permission to go to the market so she had a perfect excuse to leave without raising suspicion her small bag was already packed and hidden behind the backyard drum when the time came she would take it and walk away from this miserable life forever but just as she was about to leave eunan’s voice rang out Anika where do you think you’re going Anika’s heart stopped she turned slowly forcing herself to stay calm to the market ma ifunia narrowed her eyes dressed like that her gaze swept over

Anika’s neatly ironed dress and the small handbag she held yes ma Anika said quickly the market is Dusty I don’t want my clothes to look dirty ifunia folded her arms watching her suspiciously come back quickly or there will be trouble yes ma Anika replied holding her breath as she stepped out of the compound the moment she turned the corner she picked up her Pace practically running down the street she grabbed her bag from its hiding place and hurried toward the school gate where Mr oin was waiting in his car when she reached him she finally

exhaled are you ready he asked watching her carefully Anika nodded her eyes shining yes sir more than ever as she got into the car she didn’t look back for the first time in years she was free the car ride to Mr obin’s House felt like a dream Anika kept glancing out of the window half expecting ifunia to appear from nowhere and drag her back but the farther they drove the lighter she felt when they arrived at the compound Mr O’s wife andm was already waiting she had a warm smile and Open Arms something Anika had never experienced from an older woman come in

my dear km said leading Anika inside this is your home now tears stung Anika’s eyes home it had been so long since she had a place that truly felt like one the house was simple but filled with warmth she saw a real dining table a clean kitchen and a couch that wasn’t just for decoration it was nothing like aun’s Mansion but it was better in every way thank you Ma Anika whispered afraid that if she spoke too loudly the moment would disappear mkm cued her face you will go to school eat well and rest no one will mistreat you here Anika could

only nod for the first time in years she felt safe the next morning Mr oer took her to a small private school it wasn’t one of those expensive schools if fania’s children attended but it was a real school a place where she could sit in a classroom and learn the principal a kindl looking man with gray hair welcomed her with a smile you must be Anika Mr oer has told me about you we’re happy to have you here Anika bowed her head in respect thank you sir as she stepped into her first class her heart pounded she had never been to school before what if she was too too slow what

if the other students laughed at her but when the teacher introduced her and the students clapped she realized something this was her fresh start and she wasn’t going to waste it Anika’s first few weeks in school were tough she struggled to keep up with her classmates most of whom had been in school since they were little simple arithmetic confused her and she could barely read without stumbling over words but she refused to give up every every night she stayed up late practicing her reading and writing andm helped her guiding her patiently

through her homework Mr oer encouraged her reminding her that she had come too far to stop now you are smart Anika he told her one evening as she sat at the dining table struggling with an english comprehension passage you just need time and you have all the time you need his words pushed her forward slowly things started making sense she began understanding her lessons answering questions in class and even helping other students when she could her teachers took notice and soon she was no longer the girl who sat quietly at the back of the classroom she was becoming one of the best students in her class

one afternoon as she was packing her books one of her classmates chimer approached her you’re really smart you know he said smiling Anika blinked in Surprise me yes at first you were always so quiet but now even our teacher Praises you Anika felt warmth spread in her chest no one had ever complimented her on something she did well thank you she said softly chimer grinned keep it up maybe one day you’ll be the best student in the whole school that night as Anika lay in bed she thought about his words maybe she could be the best maybe she

could achieve something greater than she ever imagined for the first time in her life she had hope and she was going to hold on to it years passed and Anika’s hard work paid off she excelled in school winning scholarships and earning top grades by the time she was 18 she had secured a full scholarship to study business administration at the University of Nigeria in Sucka the little girl who once scrubbed floors and endured cruelty was now a young woman with a future brighter than she had ever imagined she never forgot where she came from even as she studied she worked

part-time saving every naira she could she had a dream one that kept her awake at night one that gave her purpose one evening as she sat in her small student apartment an idea struck her she had seen how businesses operated how people struggled to find quality products in enugu what if she created something of her own a business that not only made money but helped others she began researching attending business seminars and networking with the right people with the little savings she had and a few investors she convinced she started

a small retail business selling quality household items at affordable prices at first it was just a tiny store barely making enough profit but Anika didn’t give up she put in the same determin ation that had helped her survive all those years by the time she graduated her business had expanded into a chain of stores and at 26 she took a bold step she bought a struggling shopping mall in enugu and turned it into one of the biggest in the city she was no longer just Anika the girl who had been treated like a house girl she was now Anika the

owner of the most successful shopping mall in enugu but fate had a way of bringing the past back when you least expected it hello family kindly tell us where you are watching from and the time your watch says right now in the comment section we would love to hear from you and don’t forget to subscribe and turn on the Bell notification new series are coming very soon subscribe feel free to support us by joining zura premium thanks
