Hello readers,
I am Jadwa Ahmad Abubakar
And this is my story.

My dad is a successful businessman here in jigawa,
I was his first daughter and my mum was his only wife,

His business started blooming and his friends advised him to marry another woman maybe she will give him a male child that will be the inheritor of his business since my mother cannot get pregnant again,

He didn't accept the idea at first but with time he taught it was the perfect idea,

That is when Aunty Salma came into the picture, she was a devil in disguise or what we call a two faced devil,

She came in all lovely and happy showing my dad that she loves me so much but she couldn't hide her hatred for my mother,

After a year Aunty Salma put to bed a lovely twins but unfortunately they were girls,

But still she gave me the same care she gave her daughters,

Then the downfall of my life happened when my mother died of poison attack when i was 10, that was when i know all what Aunty Salma's plans where,

The care she used to show me suddenly started decreasing as her girls started growing, we looked like age mates when you see us but i am older with 2 years,

As time goes by Aunty Salma's true self started showing, she was all caring and loving when my dad was around but turned into a monster immediately he set his foot outside our gate.

You're probably wondering "Hm another Cinderella's story" right?

But NO not this one

Aunty Salma got pregnant again and daddy was so happy thinking it was going to be a boy but still it was a baby girl "Amal" such a nice name for a nice little girl,

I became Amals Nanny/mother since when i was 12, Amal is 3 now and daddy is on his dead bed due to cancer of the lungs,

It was the most terrible thing that ever happened to me,

Aunty Salma knows her ways around fortune tellers and witches that can disrupt your destiny so after my fathers death my uncles thought it was a good idea for Aunty Salma to raise all of us in our fathers house since he left enough for us before he passed away,

Since he paid for our full secondary school tuition, i had the chance to finish my SS3 clearly passing WAEC and NECO with straight distinctions.

That brought us back to the present, here i am now Jadwa,
I complete maid in her fathers house

And due to Aunty Salma's greediness, all that our father left for us was finished within years so now she's into little businesses to help her support herself and her children.

Nabila and Na'ima are the twins and they are no different from their mother

Then Amal who was only 6years old but understood all the bad attitudes of her mother and sisters towards me,
