~Pool of struggles ~ Chapter 4 "Oh come on, Gina. Not everything is resolved by divorce". My friend Gina was a divorcee. She divorced her husband when he mercilessly beat her up. "I can't be with a man who can lay a hand on me. Never" she said when she told me about her plans to divorce. I tried to talk her out of it because it was Alfred's first time of being violent with her. "Ei Cynthia, today it's just slaps. The next time he'll use his legs and the next will ~be an iron or something worse. I won't wait to die oo, boi3." I understood her but Alfred was so remorseful and I felt sorry for him. ~But then he brought it upon himself. So sh~ e suggesting divorce as my solution was to be expected. ~But I'm different from her. I believe everything can be solved by talking so I firmly refused and asked her not to mention divorce to me again. "Okay oo, Mrs" she said while she raised her hands in submission to my request. I...

~Pool of struggles ~ Chapter 3 My late husband, Samuel, was a very good husband and father. I was always grateful to be blessed with such a man. Unfortunately, we weren't financially stable. He tried all he could to make us feel comfortable. He was always ready to do any decent job to be able to feed us. What we thought was our breakthrough was actually the end of us. Samuel got the chance to travel to USA. Initially, we were overjoyed. But after three months of his stay abroad, we got a call from a white woman that he had died in an accident. Our happiness was short-lived. A year after his death, I met Nelson at the bank. We became friends and before we knew it, we became fond of each other. I was also willing to give Alex another father since he was too young to lack the love of a father. Nelson was the marketing director of a big company in the country. But then two years after our marriage he lost his job for being incompetent. I was ever ready to support financially but...

~Pool of struggles ~ Chapter 2 I had to think of a way to get money to buy *the food stuff since Nelson wasn't going to give me. I took my son to school and went to my shop. I immediately remembered that I had finished* sewing Madam Mary's dress so I called her to come for it. Luckily, she was in need of it so she came to my shop the next hour and paid me Gh50. Around 3:00, I picked my son from school and passed by the market to buy ingredients for jollof. My son's favorite. During our ride back home, Alex was blabbering about his day at school to me but my mind was occupied. But then he said something that caught my attention. "So the master told us we wouldn't be allowed to write the exams if we haven't paid our fees in full.." Oh no, Alex's school fees! I composed myself for him not to see how worried I was. "Oh yeah, we'll pay very soon dear." I said with a fake smile on ~my face. Meanwhile, the exams was less than a month. Where...

~~Pool of struggles ~~ 🔥 Chapter 1 I woke up to urinate in our washroom but saw pee all over the toilet seat and tiled floor. It was none other than my husband who did this. This man is really annoying. I took a piece of toilet roll and wiped the pee off the seat and urinated. "Nelson, why do you always have to scatter the washroom with your pee?" I said calmly even though I was boiling with anger. He has been doing that for sometime now. But I always control my tongue in order not to speak in a disrespectful manner. He turned to face me and yawned. "Ahh Cynthia, what is it again? It's too early please." Erh, see who's talking. Mr Cause-trouble is telling me it's too early. "Nelson, I'm just saying that you make things difficult for me. I always have to clean the washroom everyday instead of every week..." "Will you shut up!! Are you that lazy? What is wrong with cleaning the washroom everyday, huh? Are you not a woman?" I ...

CONFUSED BOYFRIEND 🤦‍♂🤷‍♂ (He's in love with two girls) Written by Wunmi Ijaola ✍️💜     Chapter 20 FINALE *-*-*        *-* School    Angela's POV     "Hey" I walked over to where he sat - James. He was at the cafeteria, with a book in his hand titled "Haunted". This guy will never get fed up of horror novels. "Hi" He said to me but paid more attention to the book. "Are you avoiding me somehow? " I asked him. "No, not at all, why would I? " He said. "Hmmm, Okay" I muttered and I took a sit beside him. This actually should be the first time I would walk to him and talk to first. "Hmm James" I bit my lips, looking for a perfect way to distract him and make him listen to me. "I was drunk on Saturday and my mom told me a guy brought me home, I've been trying to find out who it was but I don't know" I told him. "Okay" He just said and I gave a light huff. "By ch...
