A noise came from the kitchen Rose that was her aunty who called her sharply.

Aunty kenneth is a business woman she sells in retail at a small chop, Roseline lives with her aunt and her sweet mother.

Aunty am sorry ma it wasn't my fault Rose held her head with tears I was very hungry so I decided to take little out of the cassava flask..

Oh really! Rose is it your money I used in purchasing those food stuffs there or your useless mother money , are you a Glutton? why are you so stupid Rose !can you imagine! do you come to me for the cassava flask .

How many times have I warned you to eat in my house? it's only once Rose , never in your life you try this .You and your mother aren't paying bills in this house just living for free, but infact you both are disgusting me, your mother should have terminated your pregnancy ,you are just like an hindrance to her success she never achieved anything , she herself never enjoyed life since you have been born I advise her to terminate you as if I know you are a witch , idiot!.

Rose felt lost with those words she geared from Kenneth she couldn't control her tears that roll from her eyeballs to her jaw . Aunty Rose what have I and my mother did to you that we deserve this from you?.

God will punish you! she gave her slap you are a Bastard you are questioning me what a gut! you better shut up your trash .You this Good for nothing child all the skull you are going you are not the best.

Rose sat down at the entrance of the kitchen weeping bitterly aunty funke has done it again she just called me a bastard child is it because my father abandoned me and she called my mother a low life woman she lamented bitterly. God!! see your wickedness on me , you don't deserve me to serve you and I will never do so for how long God I have been serving you yet u never listen to my prayers. I hate you!! I hate my self!!
