A mother's wicked plan
Episode 10 A mother's wicked plan The Results Are Out The exam was tough, but Nneka gave it her all. When she finished, she whispered a prayer. God, please let my hard work pay off. Days later, the school announced that the scholarship results would be out. Everyone was excited. Ada and her friends laughed at Nneka. "You wasted your time," Ada mocked. "Even if you pass, Mama will never allow you to go." Nneka ignored them. Deep inside, she was scared, but she refused to lose hope. Finally, the results were posted on the school notice board. A crowd gathered, pushing to see the names. "Nneka! Nneka!" a teacher called, running toward her. Nneka turned, confused. "Yes, ma?" "You got the highest score! You won the scholarship!" Nneka’s eyes widened. "I… I won?" "Yes! You will be going to the best school in the city!" Tears filled Nneka’s eyes. It felt like a dream. She ran home, excited to tell Papa Ebere. When Papa Ebere heard, he hugged her tightly. "I knew it! My daughter, you are going places!" But when Mama Ebere heard, she lost control. "She is not going anywhere!" she screamed. She ran to the room, grabbed Nneka’s clothes, and threw them outside. "Let her go and sleep on the street!" Papa Ebere stepped in front of Nneka. "Enough, Nwakaego! You will not stop my daughter’s destiny!" Mama Ebere stood there, breathing heavily. She knew she was losing control. And she was ready to do something drastic.
