Family Affair

Episode 23

The Liar

All of these period, the battle of words were just coming from the dad, the mum and Constance. Marvelous had refused to speak. Helen was too afraid to say any word as she is the real victim of the whole issue and being the youngest.

“Well, no need for all of these blames and unnecessary words anyway. Let’s get to the focus of these matter – how to settle all of these” Mr.

. Nnamdi said

“When your husband came here yesterday, he said that, since your niece is already pregnant, she would have to keep the baby. Especially since you refused to give him one. But since you both still have s**ual affairs and your husband wants our daughter to keep the baby, we would have to marry her to him too, but she will stay with us until she gives birth, afterwards Marvelous will get her a separate apartment.” Mr. Nnamdi said

Surprised that the husband had already planned all of these and even discussed it with them without her awareness made her dumbfounded. She was shocked.

After sometime, she was able to muster up courage to speak, she then looked up to Marvelous, now a little bit remorseful, and said “Tell me this is not true Marvelous! Tell me.”

Marvelous didn’t say a word

. He knows Constance had temper issues and could use anything around her on him at that moment.

The father then spoke up for Marvelous still “What sort of question are you still asking him. I have just told you what he told us yesterday. Or are you now calling me a liar?”

So angry that everything was going this way, she then spoke out her mind.

“Liar? Why should I call you a liar? For all I care, you are worse than this.”

Everyone including Helen looked at her in shock. Perhaps she was losing her mind.

“Yes, look at your wife, my sister and tell her that you aren’t worse than this? Why don’t you tell her how you raped me that night and took my virginity away from me?”

At this, all eyes became on Mr. Nnamdi and everywhere became as silent as the graveyard once more. If a needle were to fall to the ground, everyone would hear the sound.
