IN the corner of the room was a marble and ivory necklace given to Pandora by Michael.Michael was her close friend in the campus.He had given her the ivory lace on her 23rd birthday.Pandora couldn't express her joy when she saw it in a red square box.According to him, he said it costs twenty dollars.Why would he spend such amount of money to get this for her?she thought.But nevertheless, she loved it.The door opened and it was her mother.Now she won't disturb her to wake up for lectures since they are on break."Mom, see" she said as she showed her the fancy lace."Wow, who gave you. It would rather fit me.""No mummy, it's mine forever.Well, Macho gave me.""Alright then, it's yours. This girl, you won't stop calling this guy's name like that.""Is there anything wrong with that?""Noo, no , Not at all.......Come down and take some breakfast.Its your favourite today. Scrambled eggs, ha ha , They will make your day.""Thanks mom. Will be down soon."She still admired the lace.Maybe , Michael loved her but there was a girl too in the same lodge with her who always taunted whenever he came in search of Pandora.Her name was Michelle.She was tall, dark skinned, and too skinny , slim fit.Of which, Michael never loved such Body type.She had shown up one particular special day, when he came to hand Pandora a bag of snacks.She started interrogation with Pandora."Hey you! What's all these for.""Ugh! Sorry, Do u u mean me?""Yeah you pig! Is there any other person facing me if not you. By the way, Girl, Don't be greedy and selfish, We are gonna eat this together.""No, Am sorry, First of all, I am not a pig.And secondly, I do t think it will go well by sharing it with you.""Keep shut and answer me, Why is he always coming here , every second, minute and maybe hours."" I don't know why but Maybe he wants to friend me"."You? Why you? That's not possible.Now listen, From this very minute, I don't want to see you around him or even accepting gifts from him talkless of being paired with him.""Uggh!!!!!!""If I do, You are not gonna survive it. It's either you die and I live or I die and you live.And I believe Number One is gonna work out well. Don't say I did not warn you.And there, Pandora stood speechless..........--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------––----------------—------------------...........................................................................................................As Pandora remember that, she couldn't help but feel a wave of fear over her.She didn't come to campus to fight over a guy but to accomplish a purpose.To her, going to warn Michael to stay away from her looked stupid.She decided to avoid him and spoke with caution.Her life can't be cut short at this point.On thinking about death, she got more frightened."My studies is my priority bit those guys out there." And she came downstairs to eat."Since I called you, it's over thirty minutes.So, what kept you. Or you wanted to eat the lace?""No mum, Just packing out some stuffs. The meal is quite a fine one"They ate quietly and discussed more other topics in lodge and went for retirement.Pandora's father , Mr. Clement Santa had died in a airplane crash.He had a company that imported and exported goods into the city and that was what made him rich and wealthy.The company's name was Santa Duels marketing Ltd.They dealt with importation and exportation of rubber tyres, oil, foams, chairs, electronic gadgets, cars of all models and brands. and so on and so forth.But since he died, it's his wife that took over the company.She was popularly known as the billionaire's wife AKA, SHE MONEY.Her name was Sheena.The next day as Pandora went of the supermarket, she decided to get some groceries. As she approached the young damsel that was in charge of selling foodstuffs, she saw some kids around a woman who was telling them a story.She loved kids so she smiled when they laughed together at the woman's funny tales."Young lady, Aren't you from Jetta?"the seller asked "No but I live in Jetta .I am from Popsipo..And you.?""I am from Jetta. Why I asked cos your face looks familiar.""Really? Well I don't think so. What's your name""I am Ritta Bells and you""Ohh am Clement Pandora.""Nice to meet you, Dora. Whenever you feel like coming to purchase any goods , feel free to come over here. Am the assistant in this hall .....ok?""Yesss, I will . thanks for these"And Pandora left happily.Little did she know that Ritta Bells was Michelle's cousin.She was sent on a mission to get information about Dora and her relationship with the guy.And then, they would kidnap her and her mother and steal their riches.That was their plan.Ritta Bells went home and told her cousin that she had found her .Michelle told her to still get more information about the girl so they start their plan so fast.Pandora was not aware.....

PART ONEJessy had just returned from the party and went straight to her room.Her disabled sister was eating the left over meal.Jessy gave a wicked smile "So you were hungry, That's good"she said as she went straight to the bathroom to take her bath.A drop of tear rolled down Queen's faceShe never understood why her own blood sister was treating her like an animal.She remembered when they were both in the high institution, before the accident, she normally pays her sisters fees and for upkeep.she remembered how she went under rain and scorching sun to make good sales of the moi moi she sold for her sister.She clearly could recall how she sold her last underwear just to make sure her sister follows her along.But now , reverse becomes the case.She ate the food in sadness, tears.Even at this, she still prayed her sister have a change of heart towards her,one day. One day as she was entering somewhere to buy something from a boutique, she met her aunt who told her that her sister was butchered the previous day In shock,Queen never believed. but then her aunt started the sad story. "Look, Queen. I am about to tell u a story of how Ur sister was born . My sister which is your mom, Carol could not give birth . she gave birth to you in IVF. AND she died out of it. After she born u, she told me to give u a name of which I did name u Queen cos I knew u will be better than Ur sister and on her birth, she never cried but u cried do u see the extent of hardened heart Ur sister have she didn't even cry on her birth, but u did and I named her Jessy. One Ur one year birthday, Ur sister said something in a language I don't understand neither u do She said Laminibok After days if sleeplessness I went to a priest to search it and he told me what it meant it meant I AM SHE I couldn't comprehend what she meant by that but I left it on the sleeping side. And then as she grew older she became more stubborn and ugly She never wanted to go to school Or do online learning Or even learn a course or hand skill she wanted to be useless. And I left her that way One day she came with a Japanese guy whom she wanted to marry and another week she came with an Indian man whom she wanted to also marry And I asked her what exactly does she want to use her life for? Then she shouted at me and Insulted me all way And then I chased the both of u away from my house. I couldn't cry when I heard u got an accident and u can't walk That's a lie Jessy formed it all She never wanted you to move forward or progress in life that was why she made u fall from the ten story building and u injured a minor one by God's grace But she made all efforts by paying the Doctor to say that u can't walk. That girl is a real agent of darkness I am happy and sad at this point. I am happy that she is out of the way and u can move forward without any heaches. I am sad that she died a terrible death without experiencing the Saviour. And now, you got to go and see Ur father and tell him about your whereabouts. So he knows that u are still living. Jessy made a lot of people know you as a bad person Even Ur classmates in those days avoided you like a stinking smell because of this But now U still can make Ur way and show them it's all lie and try to build urself as a confident, brave, strong woman. Don't make or belittle others because of their incapability to do something cos this is your story shining on top like a little twinkle star. A story, beacon of hope, inspiring generations to come." And as her aunt finished the story, Queen couldn't believe all she had heard. she tried not to be angry at her for not telling her all these while. She would have gone to the hospital for real check up and would have gone far in life than washing and serving at at restaurant. It was a moment of sadness, reunion, happiness, and glory. The next week She went to see her dad and was welcomed but the old man did not recognise her. "How are u , little one?" "I am fine, Pappa" "Pappa, that's what my daughter calls me I just remembered her now U have her replica of her face and body. Well, get yourself comfortable" "Papa, which of Ur daughters" "Don't worry you won't know her she is tall just like you and is slim fit. I heard she is dead. Pls I don't want to remember the sad story of her. What do u want , little one?" "Pappa, What if I say I am that u say. I am Ur daughter,Pappa" The old man looked clearly and blinked twice. "Am I dreaming?" When he recognised at last, they entangled into a hug that lasted for some minutes. He asked about her and she said she was doing well It was her aunt to helped direct her to Him and told her the story of her life. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She explained long what happened between her and her sister for three years How she paid doctor to give her a wheelchair even when she wasn't disabled. The old man nodded in regret for not taking care of their late mother before she died. And they both cried and cried till dusk. This is a wonderful storyyyyy.Learn
