Once Upon A Victim

chapter 1

I grew up in Lagos with my aunty and her family.my parents died when I was 6yrs and since then, they have been my guardian.
Although life life wasn't as sweet when I lived with my parents ,but it was better than the hell I was passing through in the hands of my aunty.i was treated like a maid,I work for food before I got them and sometimes go to bed with an empty Tommy .
  Her husband owns one of the biggest company in lagos,he is a business man and my aunty is an accountant.they have two sweet and smart kids.their kids attended one of the biggest school in v.i(Victoria island)
  My aunty never sent me to school,they made me stay at home to do their housekeeping and laundry.she even restricted me from going to the living room or even close to her kitchen she even went as far as calling me virus.
  Sometimes I thought of running away to somewhere more safe than this hell.i could still remember the day my parents died.they were so eager to attend aunty bumis wedding in Benin.the news of their death was shown on TV that day.i cried my eyes out.

He hurriedly went into his room,few minutes I heard him calling my name I hurriedly went to his room and when I opened the door my uncle was naked on his bed telling me to come and join him , before I knew what his drama was all about, he quickly bolted the door behind me.immediately I became scared ,what on Earth was he up to?he is my uncle he can't rape me .I was damn scared.when I ask him what was going on he called me baby instead of my name,before I knew what was happening, his hands were all over my body ,he held me close to himself and I struggle to get away from him but he was way stronger than I am .he pushed to to the bed ,he strip off my clothes and forced himself into me .I cried out in pains .I felt dirty with him lying on top me.he called me all sort of sweet name and told me not to tell my aunty what happened when she gets home.after he was done with me he left me in the pool of my own blood.
