The Family Part 28

Oladapo sat in the room staring at the identical twin boys. “I should have insisted that she take that scan!” He thought. But what good could that have done?

The Family Part 16

Niniola was moping the kitchen floor when Chief Afonja walked in. “Good morning sir.” “Make me some tea.” As she set the kettle on the burner, the chief sat down at the breakfast table and wiped his forehead. He had slipped out of Mama Eli’s bed, about to escape to Mama Ayo’s room when sheContinue reading The Family Part 16 →

The Family Part 13

Mama Ayo sat on the floor of the shower unable to erase the memories of what Gbenga had done to her. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I was drunk and you bashed my ego! You made me do it!” he had said, pulling up his trousers after he was done assaulting her. She had calmly gottenContinue reading The Family Part 13 →
