Chapter 1 Agonies Of A House Girl - Episode 1

ADAEZE NARRATES...

****************************

Life has been unfair to me right from the start.

Born into a family of ten: 3boys and 5girls plus mum and dad,

survival had been a struggle.

My father was a palm wine tapper and my mum was a petty

trader who dealt in foodstuffs.

We lived in a remote village somewhere in the South-eastern p@rt

At that time I was 15 years old and my immediate younger

The first few days, I was treated well maybe because it was my

first day of arrival.

I was shown around the house and taught how to use some of the
