Omotola'sPOV
My aunty called me and started accusing of theft
I didn't take you money ma, I didn't even know you kept money there, shut up she said.
She gave me a very hot slap, that moment o thought I had gone deaf, I won't tolerate this, enough of this nonsense she said, she hit my head against the wall, battered me mercilessly and tore my clothes. Then used iron to press my back, I tried running but everywhere was already locked.
Mummy deal with her well , thief Lola shouted. Kehinde wasn't even bothered, Mummy please the beating is too much, look at the way she is bleeding, are you sure you kept the money there, Taiwo said.
Keep your mouth shut, Taiwo, Where is my money , you this unfortunate creature, your birth has brought nothing but disgrace to this family, this is your last day here, pack your things and leave my house
Aunty, please I don't have where to go, please I cried in pain, my body was already swollen
Funke's POV
Have heard enough of this nonsense, since you can't provide my money Tola, I want you out of my house now.
Aunty please, I didn't take your money she said, I gave her another slap and threw her out of my house,.
I don't have where to go , she said in tears, o don't care where you go to, you can even die if you like, I said locking the gate.
My husband came back the next day from his business trip, where is Omotola, he said.
I sent her packing, I can't harbour a thief in my house.
You sent her packing, I don't get you, where do you expect her to go to, she is just a child. He said.
Bamidele mind your business, so you didn't see anything bad in her stealing

Omotola's POV
I packed my things in tears and left, i woke up the next morning and found myself in a new apartment, how did I get here,??? The only thing I could remember was that I was that I was walking down the street crying.
A young dark and beautiful woman, walked up to me, how are you feeling now, she said. What am I doing here I screamed, I tried sitting up but my body ache.
Thank God you are awake, eat something, so u can take some drugs she said, you have not answered my question ma'am , she opened the food, I didn't know the time I started eating, I was very hungry, I ate last 3 days ago. After eating I felt a bit relief , she also gave me drugs.

My aunt's threw me out of the house, how did I get here she shouted, okay, am a doctor, I was coming from the hospital, there was an emergency, I noticed someone walking on the road, I parked, so I could help you all you where saying was please take my life before I could say anything you fainted, so I did some first aid and brought you to my place, but why will you say such a thing.
