A mother's wicked plan

Episode 4 A mother's wicked plan A Father’s Promise The next morning, Papa Ebere sat Nneka down. "My child, don’t cry anymore. I will not allow anyone to treat you like this again." Nneka sniffed. "But Mama hates me. She says I will never be anything." Papa Ebere held her hands. "Don’t listen to her. You are my daughter, and I will make sure you have a good life." Mama Ebere stood at the door, arms folded. "Do whatever you like, but don’t expect me to waste money on this girl." Papa Ebere ignored her. That same day, he went out and came back with a school uniform, books, and a small bag. "Nneka, you will start school tomorrow," he said. Nneka’s eyes lit up. "Really, Papa?" "Yes, my daughter. You will go to school and become somebody in life." Mama Ebere hissed loudly. "You are wasting your money! Ada is the only child that matters in this house." But Papa Ebere didn’t answer her. He looked at Nneka and said, "One day, they will all see your worth." And so, Nneka’s journey began.
