My name is Mandy Ozbourne I turned 19 this year I'm the type to fight anything that comes my way I'm very confidence and smart and I don't take little shit from anyone .I came from a very affluent background until my mom die, let me tell you a little story about myself dad and mom got married because I came around they don't really plan to have me mum wanted to kill me right from womb but my father did not allow her they give birth to me and my mom die when I was three as my father used to say, but the day I and our neighbors daughter had issue she abused me then I threw a stone at her daughter which injured her on her forehead the girl mother was extremely furious that she started ranting making the statement "you did not deserved to be loved that's why your mother abandoned you" the word sink in my brain that day I waited for dad to come back from work dad actually beat me that night yes I Know I'm wrong I shouldn't have thrown the stone then dad drag me to our neighbors door to apologise when we reach there I refuse to apologise to her and said instead " why did my mom abandoned me?" is it because I'm not beautiful but you told me (turning to dad) that she died so it because she did not want me that's why she left? Dad looked at our neighbors and shouted "How dare you" my neighbor couldn't talk I think she felt sorry as she keep quiet I leave the two of them never bothering to listen to them anymore I went straight to bed and cry my eye out when I later heard dad opening the door I pretended to be fast asleep
dad tried his best he's not that rich but he's still rich a little dad's a workaholic although I heard that he turned to that when mom abandoned me cause dad is not rich, ever since then he work they and night he tried his best on me I couldn't go to the university but I attended secondary level of education with good grade not until six years ago when dad fall in the office he was rushed to the hospital and was diagnosed with heart problem surgeries are over expensive in my country that we ended up selling the whole properties as he was absent for too long at work dad couldn't get a job dad is old as he's 55 then but he still tried his best he started working at a store, they pay him #15000 every month which is not even enough for me to spend in two weeks not to talk of him also but he still keep on doing it for my sake father pampered me a lot, even when he's not rich anymore he still make sure I don't lack untill one day I called came through to me that dad had been rushed to the hospital again. I rushed over and after taking serial numbers of text we found out that he had blood cancer that he needed bone marrow transplant I was so happy it something I could do since I'm his daughter it should be easy I went for text only for the doctor to tell me we did not matched I was extremely surprised telling the doctor no that they made a mistake I angrily left the hospital and go to another taken my father toothbrush and hair the previous hospital where my father had his first surgery I had a friend there my father permanent doctor then as I did not hv money I begged and he promise to do it for me he actually did he came out an hour later to give me the results opening results I saw 99.99 chance that I'm not my father's daughter I couldn't believe it I went to meet my sick dad and confront him only to find out that he's not surprised I ask him did he know before he said no that he only found out at age 4 when I needed blood and we do not match I weep seriously and said you know but you have been pampering me all this year but the only thing he said is no matter what happened I'm still your father I hold his hand and told him this you are not going to die dad I will make sure I save you, promised me you will endure give me the chance to take care of you dad he was very weak that he only nodded his head and drift off to sleep. ever since then I've been working my ass off. I started job hunting I worked at the store my dad last work for 6 month before doing a sales rep for almost 2 years until I landed ARA industry work I was very happy,thinking the pay is good but it was worse I worked 23 days only to get #28000 at the end of the month but it still manage able I continued to support my father with the work he has been at the hospital since then but this days he's getting worst the last time I went to visit my father at the hospital we had a huge fight I had to force him to tell me where is family were which he did in the end. I'm on night shift today I still hv time so I went to the address my father gave me I knocked on the door a l copy of my dad a short and feeble woman opened the door she looked at me up and down before asking me "who are you?"
Mandy: I'm Ozbourne Mandy her smile vanished before she slam the door right on my face I was extremely scared I knocked several times but to no avail so I sat down by the door step not until an hour later did the woman come and open the door for me
MRs Ozbourne: what do you want? did he send you come here, I stand there with my head bowed not dare talking back at her.one of the good qualities of a Nigerian child is when you are being talk to by an elder you must not look them in the eye, looking them in the eye when they are talking to you count as telling them they can't talk to you or they don't deserve your respect she continues "Leaving us after all this year he did not come back did he even knows his father had died? I was shocked and I looked up at her she had tears in her eye as she's talking I went straight on my kneels she looked at me clean her eye and move closer hold my hand and drag me up to my feet checking me out " why I'm I even angry at you, you are not the one that offended me come in my daughter" she said to me I smiled at her and went inside the house looks hold all the furniture are falling off the TV set is an olden days set that I don't even think it's working, "sit down she said she turned and entered a room I was so happy she invited me in and hurried to sit down only to know I'm hitting my head on the wall the armrest of he chair is spoiled it hurts a lot that's what make me look around again and I found out that there is nothing good inside the house again I wonder if she's even eating she came back with a cup of water gave me the water and sat down gentle besides me she lat me drink the water finished before she starts speaking again
Mrs Ozbourne: why are you here
Mandy: grand ma my father is dying which she got alerted and bombard me questions

Mandy: pls ma before we go I have a question for you

Mandy: who is my mother she was surprised by my question but look me again before asking me " what do you mean?
Mandy: I heard my mom abandoned me at the age of three I want that to know the type of human being she is
Mrs Ozbourne: do you want the truth or half truth
I was quick to answer "the truth ma"
Mrs Ozbourne: I really don't know your father bought your mother to when she was pregnant with you but your grandfather disagreed because he knew the girl well she was a very rude wayward and selfish human being at first I thought your grandfather was just being mean not until I confirmed it later with people she was home destroyer she destroyed alot of people happiness people marriage, people relationship, she was a very bad woman your grandfather was just looking out for your father but your father started misbehaving then your grandfather gave him option it is either he leaves your mother and get to live with us or take your mother hand and be disowned but your father choose your mom he must hv loved her alot that was the last time I set my eye on my son but it a surprise you said she abandoned you what happened? that when I narate the story to her she cried but I left out something I did not tell her I was not my father's daughter.
We went to the hospital together my father was feeling guilty all over I knew I had to give them chance to talk I stand up telling them I want to go and get them tea , excusing myself immediately I haven't closed the door finished when I heard my grandma say something that makes me stop
Mrs Ozbourne: your daughter looks nothing like us or even you that you are the father.
my dad was quick to respond " she's my daughter mom I'm the father so don't start thinking tears follow freely from my eye I really loved my father and I prayed in silence that he get better I was on my way to get the tea when I realized this my grandma can't go back to that place again no one to take care of her and she's extremely old that's when I decided she will hv to stay with us . I went back to the ward my father is sleeping already with my grandma holding his hand we both went to the doctor together then he promised to Carry out the necessary text on my grandma and they will hv to hospitalized her also so as to make sure she's in a perfect condition I was so happy when I heard that but my mood spoiled when the doctor continued he said I needed 2million naira before the operation can be done we both looked at each other (Grandma and I) she Burst into tears immediately that I started petting her I begged the doctor he said we have to pay half first before they can proceed. that was what I carried come to work this evening im fed up what do I do how do I raise 2 million. due to that I was careless about my surroundings I did not take care of the machine before sitting down that's how powder detergent pour on top of me it enter my nose and mouth I was rushed to the rest room I rinse thoroughly until I'm relieved those that brought me are already gone then I thought why not bath? I removed all my clothes hanged it then remove my bra and panties I just noticed something different today how come no one is inside the restroom I opened shower on my head spending like 10 minutes under the shower I was very relaxed when I'm through I stand in front of the mirror checking my eye if the powder had affected me but thank God I'm fine I was lucky I was about to turn away from the mirror when I heard the voice GET OUT! I was scared that I loose my voice this is the first time I'm seeing someone like this he's extremely tall and bulky but I wasn't scared not until his eye started roaming around my body that I realized I was naked I threw the cloth I was holding at him he caught it easily I was about to shout when I feel my back on the cold glass a huge hand covering my mouth and I was sitting on the highlands one of his hand was on my waist my eye gone wide then he made a shush sounds with his mouth he removed the hand on my waist and put it on his lips when he felt I have calm down he removed his hand from my mouth his eye looking straight into mine this is the first time I'm seeing a white man this close up his first words were " who are you" I looked at him looked and acted as if I did not understand him then he was like do you speak in English?
