"I was only nine. You were too busy getting distracted with that shop you call a business." She said facing her elder sister. "Am sure it was this attitude of yours I took that made me oblivious also of Marvelous and Helen's sexual escapades. Of course am not a saint, I slept with your daughter. I have slept with other ladies too. But all of these primarily started due to you husband's victimization of me." She added Helen became surprised at this, that her father was also guilty of something. Something even worse than hers. "That night, the rain had fell cat and dog.

Family Affair - Episode 24 The Liar All of these period, the battle of words were just coming from the dad, the mum and Constance. Marvelous had refused to speak. Helen was too afraid to say any word as she is the real victim of the whole issue and being the youngest. "Well, no need for all of these blames and unnecessary words anyway. Let's get to the focus of these matter - how to settle all of these" Mr. Nnamdi said "When your husband came here yesterday, he said that, since your niece is already pregnant, she would have to keep the baby. Especially since you refused to give him one.

Family Affair - Episode 23 Our Daughter "Well, unfortunately, we did not come here to discuss about your husband's duty to you today. He is a man and he tried to the best of his capacity. But you as a woman, you didn't even perform your role at all." Mr.Nnamdi said as he coughed "That being said, he also told us that he forced and lured your sister to sleeping with him due to your failure in performing your duty. This he agreed that he was at fault." Mr. Nnamdi added. "But most importantly why we are here today is that, he also told us that, he caught you sleeping with your niece.

Family Affair - Episode 22 The Duty "It pains my heart to know that, all of the time I spent training and bringing you up as any father would do to a child, was just wasted. You had just being a pretender I guess" Mr. Nnamdi said. All these while, their mum couldn't even say a word. She was still in shock that her children had brought such disgrace to their families and were able to have committed such acts. "Well, let's get on with it as you said" Mr.Nnamdi said as he now straighten his face. "Helen came home two days ago and narrated a story which we all could not comprehend that you had sent her packing out of the house.

Family Affair - Episode 21 Multiple Abominations Here was the family sitting on a set of brown chairs which looked exactly like a green leaf which turned dry during the harmattan season. Each one of them had their arms either supporting their chin or folded gently on top of their chest. It was as if someone had died or the world was just about to end.

Things that can only be thought of with the mind but could never had been seen with the eyes. Not only where they now seeing it, they were all first hand witnesses of the happenings. Mr. Nnamdi's voice finally broke the long silence. Mr Nnamdi is Helen's father. By virtue of him being the husband of Constance's elder sister, he was also like Constance's father.

Family Affair - Episode 20 Family Meeting "Are you alright at all? How could you have sent her home?" Marvelous said following her. "It was not enough for you to be a bloody lesbian and also involving in incest. You also want to wash that linen of yours outside! If they get to know about this and us, what do you think they will say? You never cease to amaze me. Never" Marvelous added "See who is calling names. What about you? A bloody cheat who sleeps with the wife's niece. And a man who cannot even last five minutes in bed. Aren't you supposed to be ashamed of yourself?" Constance said. "See as it is now, all of these your shouts are not going to help. We are both idiots for what we did and what we are. We should be thinking of how to right this wrong and not here calling each other names or looking for whom to blame" Constance continued. "To this regard, was why I sent her home. It will be a good place to start righting...

Though a part of his head was still in bandages, he however had enough strength to still beat a woman, he thought. "What kind of woman are you? One who sleeps with a girl, your niece for that matter? Only you involved in incest and a lesbian at the same time. Come to think of the fact that you even almost killed me? Now give me one reason, why I should let you remain in this house?" Marvelous said Constance when he walked in. Constance was in the sitting room expecting Marvelous to be discharged the next day and was not expecting him at all. This first statement however threw her of balance. But she muster the courage and kept on painting her nails as she was before marvelous walked in.  She then said "If my plan was to kill you, am sure we would have left you down there to bleed and die. Apparently I don't want you dead". She then continued her painti...

He had lost so much blood and both had already thought he would not make it. "Madam, your husband was quite lucky. If he had been brought here a little longer than he was, he would have probably not make it." The doctor in charge said to Constance who was with him in the hospital. Not withstanding all that have happened, Constance still had that feeling of love for Marvelous. Marvelous was operated upon and was to be discharged in a-week time. Constance saw it as an opportunity for Helen to have the check up on her recurrent sickness.

Constance had tried to have access to her once more, but she wouldn’t allow. “I think this sickness is beginning to get the best of you. Tomorrow morning we would go and see the Doctor.

Marvelous travelled for a business trip which would took two weeks. And Constance took it as an opportunity to get into Helen. While Constance was having breakfast with Helen that morning before going to the shop, she made one or two comments in passing her intent to Helen. “So tell me about him, has he being good to you?” Constance asked. “Him? Oh, you mean Edwin? Well, I think he is trying. He treats me as every gentleman would treat a lady. It’s just that sex thing that is turning his head around. He plans to come over even when he comes visiting his uncle nearby” Helen replied. “Okay, that’s good then. Meanwhile, talking about sex, you seems to be so disinterested in it? Or aren’t you a woman any longer” Constance said jokingly. Helen laughed and said, “...
