Victory Freedom

Lotanna faced many hurdles in her life, ranging from being Orphaned at a young age,  auctioned, and abused. Yet, her spirit refused to be broken. Her will to survive was grater than her challenges and pain. Lota (short form of Lotanna) now finds herself in a place where she can only depend on herself and her abilities to survive. Within all of these crisis, Lota finds a ray of light and hope in form of a lover, Kamsy and a baby. But could it really be a ray of light and hope? Or is it just all a mirage? 

REMEMBER

After what seemed like an eternity, I woke

up, and everywhere was dark. I don't know

where I am and my mind can't seem to

stay awake because within a few seconds,

I fell asleep again. I woke up to the voice

of barrister Fred calling my name and

when I open my eyes, instantly I knew all

was not well. This is not the United States

I said. Barrister Fred looked at me and

burst into laughter " little girl you and now

in the camp of your master Kamsy. All

the luxury you've been enjoying was

paid for by him. Darling, you were bought

and paid for and he paid a good amount;

17 million naira." I felt sick in my stomach

after hearing that because it just occurred

to me that I will be a slave for life and even

if I die my ghost will still be owned by this

man called Kamsy." Why are you doing this

to me? What is my offense?" He chuckled

"oh! Your offense? You have none, you

are only unfortunate. Your grandparents

belonged to the Bloodline. The Bloodline

was the source of their great wealth but

you see, with great wealth comes great responsibilities. Their child who happens

to be your mother was supposed to

succeed them in the Bloodline, but

guess what?  She hated the source of

the wealth that gave her parents power,

estranged herself from her family. Before

her parents passed on, they knew the

rules of the Bloodline. It will be better

that you have no child than have an

ungrateful one such as your mother.

The punishment for that is slavery.

Your grandparents tried to lobby their way

into the heart of the presiding "Ace" by

giving back all they ever got from the

Bloodline, back to the Bloodline, so their

daughter will be saved from slavery. So

you see sweetheart, only your mother

was insured. You were not included so

if you have someone to blame, blame

your mother for bringing you into this

world. Before I forget, we made your

mother's life impossible and if you try

anything stupid we can still do the

Bloodline. You live and die in the

Bloodline." He wanted to say something

more when a young man walked in and

said, "Is this my merchandise?" "Yes

Kamsy, here she is in one piece and the

seal is yet to be broken." "Fred, are you

telling me that she's still a virgin?" That's

right Kamsy, I can excuse you right now

so that you can confirm the authenticity

of your merchandise. "Wow! Fred I can't

wait to have a taste, I feel so aroused

right now after hearing this." They walked

out then two men came in and they

practically dragged me outside. I was

apartment to have my bath and eat

because I've just learned that I've been
