The dinning table wasn't large enough to contain all fifteen people so the kids sat in circle on the floor, eating from their large bowl quietly.
Everyone chewed and swallowed silently until troublesome Hassan peeped into Ebiere's plate.
"Aunty Ebiere, all this large portion of food? Only you? Can you even finish it?" He queried.
"Yes. You know I'm eating for two."
"Or you're just using your pregnancy as an excuse to eat all the food in this house." He stated and received another smack at the b

MAY Chapter sixty eigtht – the end.
A new yearNew years eve were always a beehive of activities for May's Household. The night before new year, Iby would clean up the entire house with the little help of twelve year old Maryam. If she wasn't helping her step father out, then she was busy playing with her younger brother, Oyins, who was just two years of age. As for May, she would go to the market and buy the food stuff she needed for cooking.After they were all done with the house activities, they took their baths and went to church for the cross over service. They turned off all the lights in church and lit a candle once the time struck twelve o'clock midnight. Out cry or shouts of joy followed with people gyrating and dancing because they'd live to see a brand new year. Meanwhile, other people didn't get to see the previous year.Before May and her family left the church, they took prayers of prosperity a
MAY Chapter sixty seven.
"When i found out about your pregnancy, i told you to abort the child because I wasn't ready to become a father," Edric continued, "But you refused.""But.. But I remember telling you that i was scared." May reminded him, "I couldn't abort the child. By the way, you recommended a quack doctor and I couldn't risk my life. What if something had gone wrong? Like my womb got damaged and I couldn't get pregnant again, would you have accepted and married me?""May, you could've just swallowed the contraceptives I gave to you. It could've prevented you from getting pregnant.."May rolled her eyes at him, "Well, you shouldn't have eat it raw then.""May, I didn't invite you to my room that night.

It was obvious May had forgotten. So to remind her, Edric had to start from the beginning because every story had one. Since May wasn't planning on letting him into her house, he stood outside and explained his own reasons to her. As he talked, everything played in May's head, taking her back to seventeen. Way back to the time Edric's father was employed. To the time her Dad had promised Edric that he would sponsor his studies abroad because of how intelligent he was and to that night. That particular night that spoilt everything.May tiptoed down the stairs quietly as she could, looking her left and right side to be sure no one saw her sneaking out of the main building and heading towards the Gateman's house that was located just few inches close to the black giant gate.The Gateman's house had two rooms, a portable kitchen and bathroom.

MAY Chapter sixty five.
"What would happen now?" Iby asked May who visited him in prison with food and water."I don't know." She sighed, in a sad mood."Would you get back together with him?" Iby asked."Who?" May asked confused.He motioned his head towards Tega, who had accompanied May to the prison and who was standing at the far end of the hot room, waiting for May."No." She told him, "The only man I want to get back together with is you.""But I'm in prison. I'll be here for two years—""I'm willing to wait for you."Iby placed his hand on hers that were on the table separating them, "You seriously don't have to do this. I've only spent almost two months here and it already feels like years. I don't want you to wait for me. Let yourself to love someone else.. Study hard to get a degree, be a good mother and get married to a good man."
MAY Chapter sixty four.
For the first time in a long while, May actually went down on her knees and pleaded with Edric to let Iby go but he refused. He was bent on making Iby see the four walls of prison, forgetting that he was a dough bag himself, a scum but May had only divorced him instead of taking him to court for domestic abuse.Not like she couldn't arrest him or make him suffer for what he did to her. Been the governor's daughter would've paid off and make it a lot easier of course. But she didn't want to be seen as using her Fathers influence, wealth and authority to her advantage or gossipped to have arrested Edric only because he arrested Iby. There was still something she needed to shape in her life and that was, to stop listening to what the world had to say about her.It was because of Iby's arrest, she found herself standing in fro
MAY Chapter sixty three.
"Lies!" Edric shouted, hitting his fist on the table immediately Iby finished his explanation, "You hear me? All what you've said are lies and I'm not going to buy it.""Edric," May turned to him. Her voice low, already too exhausted with everything. "One thing I know Iby for is that he doesn't tell lies, no matter what."Edric wouldn't take it, "No. As far as I am concerned your visitor here is not only a killer but a liar, making up excuses as to why he couldn't save Elene.""Edric listen to yourself. I know you too well. If you were in Iby's shoes, you'd not even think twice. If Ebiere was your sister, and Elene was his, you would have knocked her down on purpose just so she'll get out of the way for you to take your sister to the hospital." May defended, reasonably, "It is only
