“Hey girls, I believe you know why you're here?" Serwaa asked as she sat with Aku sipping white wine.
“Yes, we do." One of the girls answered.
“Good, so there's a party coming up at Twist Night Club, that cool club around Labone. You girls ought to dress sexy, when I mean sexy, I mean sexy. Yaa and Maabena would be taking you out for shopping and a change of wardrobe. We are storming there live and coloured." Serwaa said as the girls cheered for them. Aku handed Yaa a large ward of money to take care of the clothing and transport fare.
“Abena, I'm not arguing over this with you, you are my wife and you need a car to take you places. Always ordering an uber is a waste of money. That's why I go you one, " Kamdyn said descending the staircase.
“Okay, Alright thanks for the car and I'm sorry for being obnoxious." She reasoned.
“You welcome )d)(love)." He smiled at her.

“I've been meaning to ask you, what made you become a slay queen instead of venturing into any business,” Leo asked his wife as they sat under the summer but in their garden.“It's a long story, brace yourself." She sighed as she began with the story of her life.My parents gave birth to the two of us only, that's myself and my kid sister. Life was all colourful and rosy, until one day my dad brought in a new woman because he claimed he needed a son to succeed him when he passes on. My mom was broken but she was strong for both of us. My stepmother was a good woman, no doubt. She respected my mom and liked my sister and me, she held no grudge with us. We lived peacefully as one big family, she gave birth to a set of twins, both boys and that's where things started going south. My dad changed into someone we barely knew, he always treated my mother and us badly, his wife, that is my stepmother was always against his ill-treatment. Anytime he refuses to give us food to eat, she used to

Akosua was in her seventh month of pregnancy and Kwame had begun acting funny. He normally returned home late or drunk and he always had one flimsy excuse or another. He had changed, he didn't treat her the same way he used to treat her before and he didn't spend quality time with his girls, Akosua and Maakua.“Are you okay Akosua?" Abena tapped her friend on the shoulder as she entered the classroom.“Hmm, no Abena I'm not." She honestly said.“What's the problem?" She asked her friend.“Its Kwame oo, Abena, mennim nea 3k)so oo, Kwame Boateng asesa( I don't know what's going on, Kwame has changed)." She told her friend.“Calm down dear, maybe it's due to work stress." She told her.“Abena, he comes home very late at night, most at times drunk or with the excuse of working late and there's always a smell of women perfume on his clothes." She added.“Take it easy, it may not be what yo

“Akosua, where are you and Maakua, I'm home and no one is around. I called Ma, but she isn't answering. Kamdyn and Kwabena won't tell me where you girls are. Where is my daughter?" He asked angrily“Kwame, meny3 ready for ntokwa biara( I'm not ready for any trouble). We've been at 37 military hospital for a week, I've been calling your phone it's either switched off or no answer. Maakua is sick, you can come to see her when you like, tchew." She said as she dropped the call and went back inside the ward.Maakua was doing better than before but the doctor wanted to monitor her progress so she had been admitted. Kwabena, Kamdyn, Abena, Adwoa and her mother-in-law had come over to visit the little girl during the week. Her mother-in-law stayed there with her to watch over the girl.Kwame changed his clothes and then prepared his daughter's favourite, jollof rice with gizzard, garnished with vegetables, and also got her a pack of vitamin drink.

Maakua came out of her room looking for her stepmom. She had wanted to show her something she was watching on her tablet.“Ma, come and see--" She stopped midway as she found her mom lying on the floor with blood oozing from her legs.“Ma!" She shook Akosua but to no avail.“Auntie Adwoa, mom is not walking up!" Maakua called as Adwoa turned off the stove and hurried to the parlour.“Maakua, get me her car keys now!" Adwoa panicked as she called the security man to help her put Akosua in the car.“Maakua!"Adwoa called again as the girl brought her the keys and locked the house joining them in the car as they drove to the hospital, as soon as they got to Ridge hospital, the nurses rushed her into the theatre.“Call your dad," Adwoa whispered as Maakua called him. It rang for a while and he still wasn't answering. She tried for a couple of times before he finally picked out of breath.&ldq

“Auntie," Akosua called to the woman who raised her. “Aw, me ba(My child), it shall be well, take heart." The elder woman said sitting beside her.“I hope so, I really do." She said as her aunt wiped her eyes.“Where's your husband?" Her uncle asked entering with a basket of food.“I dunno, " She stated.“Is everything alright between you two?" He asked again.“He changed." She said as Maakua entered the ward with her grandmother.“My in-laws, you're welcome." The woman greeted.“Thank you." Her aunt said.“Ma, I brought your favourite ice cream, grandma says it would help you feel better." She handed it to her as she pulled her towards her and hugged her tightly.“Thanks, Sweetheart," Akosua added.Kwame had made his cheating evident to his wife. He no longer treated her right and always came back with lipstick stains on his shirt or half-used condoms in his pocket.She no longer was happy in her home. She found solace in the little girl and her work.“Eleanor, do you know the man yo

“Kwame, what's going on? You've refused to eat my food for the past to weeks what's the matter?" Akosua asked one night after preparing dinner after coming home from work exhausted. Only for her food to be rejected again.“Maame, ma men dwene me ho oo, ( Woman, let me be), oh so you think I don't know you killed my babies with your bad luck and evil omen. You're a which that's what you are." He shouted at her.“In fact, leave my house baayifo) (Witch!)" He shouted packing her stuff.“Kwame, where is all this coming from?" She asked shocked.Just yesterday we were all lovey-dovey and even shared a passionate night together after being sex starved ever since the incidence. Who is polluting my husband's mind? She thought to herself as Kwame pushed her out of the room.Maakua heard the noise from her parent's room. The 10-year-old child was intelligent and smart even when she had not been told anything, she knew her parent's marriage was failing.“Da, what is going on?" She asked as she me

Akosua and Maakua had been hoping Kwame would come back to his senses and come for them. Even if he didn't want her, at least he could come and check up on his daughter.But he did none of that. She had heard he had gone for another woman whom he was living with.“Ma, how are we going to survive without Da?" Maakua asked her stepmother at dinner one night.“My dear, we will be fine, very much fine. I have money saved up from years back and besides, I work. And my salary is enough to cater for us both." She told the girl.“How about my school fees?" She asked knowing how expensive that was.“Don't worry dear, that's why I've applied for the scholarship for you. If you get it, it will take you through to Senior High, now that you're in primary 5." She explained to the girl.Because of how intelligent and smart she was, she skipped primary four and was promoted to primary five.“Maate(I've heard you), Ma." She said as she proceeded to wash the dishes.“Ei, Eleanor so you didn't listen to

“My dear, your mother called." He said to his niece as she sat beside him. Akosua had gone to the village with Maakua on the weekend. Her uncle had sent for her because he had important news for her.“Na )se3 dien( What did she want)?" Akosua asked chewing groundnuts. “Hmm, the woman pursuing your husband is your own younger sister Eleanor." He said as she sat quietly for a while.“So the little brat has finally grown wings er? To drag my husband with me" She slyly smiled.“My dear, don't go and cause any ruckus, " Her uncle said knowing how she can react when she's angry.“I'm not going to cause any ruckus uncle, I just want to pay them a visit, nothing more or less." She smiled.“If you say so." Her uncle added. It wasn't as if he cared about what would happen to her but he was concerned about the wellbeing of his niece.“Ma, I'm back," Maakua added as she dropped her small basket in the kitchen. She went to the farm with her grandma, Akosua's aunt.“You welcome dear, how was the fa
