Prisca asked anxiously. “The landlord has locked I and your siblings outside. I don’t know what we have done to this people", her mom said. “What exactly do they want na? what’s all this! What is going to happen now?" Prisca asked. “Don’t worry I’ll take the kids to your uncle place, we will survive this okay. How is school?" Her mom asked. “School is fine, I just got home few minutes ago. Please take care of yourself okay, we will get through this I promise you", Prisca said. “I know we will that’s why I don’t worry too much about it. Just study well and make us proud okay" her mom said. “I will mom, please greet everyone there for me. When I’m less busy I’ll breeze in there to see how you all are faring" Prisca said. “You don’t have to, take care bye" Her mom said and dropped the call while Prisca let a deep breath out. The door opened immediately and her room mate walked in, seeing the mood on her face Prisca rolled her eyes. “What’s the problem and why this face?" Prisca asked. “Hummm you will not understand. My test is tomorrow" Debbie replied. “Okay so what about it?" Prisca asked. “Girl that lecturer made it compulsory everyone must get his textbook if not you have failed already. Girl I don’t have 5k na, check me I dey empty", Debbie said and Prisca heaved. “Have you tried talking with the course rep to help you out at least?" Prisca asked and Debbie scoffed. “You mean that one? Don’t even go there o. He is even worst than the lecturer, he will just tell you clear, pay the 5k and pass shikina", Debbie said. “Then just go meet with the lecturer, explain to him that you’re cashless for now, if the money comes you will definitely get the book" Prisca said. “See your mouth, if I tell you to rap your mouth the way you are doing to that man face you’ll just faint. Anyway I’ll go talk to him, but what’s up? You don’t look good why?" Debbie asked. “I just dropped my mom call now, the landlord has locked the house again" Prisca replied. “Again? Haba! What exactly does he want from you because I don’t understand anymore" Debbie said. “Seriously I can’t tell. You know he was my late dad best friend, he tried making some advances to my mom but she shunned him. Now he’s just bent on frustrating us" Prisca replied. “Then your mom should just pack out na" Debbie said. “That’s the problem. Where’s the money to get a new house? Its not our happiness to receive this insult from him but na money dey insult us pass", Prisca replied. “Chai God! The way money dry eh me sef weak. My boyfriend no fit give me ordinary 5k Prisca, you can imagine that", Debbie said. “I dey talk of better thing you dey tell me another thing. Abeg leave that guy he don try for you, just use this your open eye talk with the lecturer he fit buy you small time make you get the textbook" Prisca said. “Easier said than done, you see why sugar daddy good, I for no suffer like this o", Debbie said and Prisca hissed. “Thats your business madam" Prisca replied…….. ….. The next day Prisca surprised her mom with a visit, “You didn’t tell me you are coming down" her mom said. “Yes because I know you will stop me. Where’s uncle?" Prisca asked as she went into the house with her mother meeting her uncle who took them in. She discussed for a while with him, “uncle I don’t know how to thank you, but I know in this life our path and that wicked man with his family shall cross again. And God won’t let us be in this frustrating situation anymore" Prisca said. “My daughter its okay, your family can stay here till they get an apartment. I think your belongings should still be there since the place is locked and protected, when your mom gets an apartment she can go for them", her uncle said while Prisca watched tears rolled down from her mom cheeks. “How can he be that heartless to lock us outside without clothes to wear for my children just because he’s fortunate to own a house right?" Prisca Mom said. “Mom its okay, there is always a pay back time remember. I know that Karma is a bitch and it will meet up with him in a terrible way" Prisca said consoling her mom. ____ Before the test scheduled for that day, Debbie put on courage to go speak with the lecturer. Everyone knows the lecturer is a stern looking man and the students were scared of him. Debbie stood outside the door to his office scared to knock and she couldn’t turn back too. She was just there glued and staring at the door, immediately the door opened and the Lecturer came out looking at her. Debbie went backwards scared, “who are you and what do you want?" He asked. “I.. I.. Am Deborah by name sir" she stammered with her heart beating fast and he smiled. “Take your time and tell me what you want" he said shocking Debbie. “Sorry sir I..i… Wanted pleading for a little time so I can get the money to buy the textbook. Its just that I’m cashless for now but I’ll definitely get the book I promise" Debbie said while he was just quiet looking at her. “Deborah come in" he said going in while she sluggishly followed behind. “Close the door and sit down" he said and she closed the door and slowly sat down facing him. “What’s your reg no?" He asked and she quickly gave it out. “Here you can have it, I’ve paid for you" he said giving her a copy of the book. “Seriously sir? Thank you so much" Debbie happily said. “I don’t know why a beautiful girl like you should be scared of me, do I look terrible?" He asked and she shook her head. “Honestly sir you are so kind", Debbie said. “I love that, and i hope I’ll get to see you always" he said. “Sure sir any time" , she replied. “I’ll love to have your number then" he said stretching out his phone which she quickly got it…………. KARMA EPISODE 2 Debbie returned happily dancing for Prisca who just stared at her wondering what’s the cause of it. “Babe can you twerk? See twerking here mhen" Debbie said dancing. “Abeg abeg wait fess, wetin happen na?" Prisca said pushing her as she wanted twerking for her. “Girl I met with the lecturer" Debbie sat down beside her. “Okay what about it?" Prisca asked. “He shocked me o, if you see me eh, I looked like a rejected duck fowl when I went to his office. I couldn’t even knock on the door sef, then he came out looking me. Chai babe I almost pee for pant oo! My body was shaking and I turn stammerer by force" Debbie said demonstrating. “So all this your mouth end for house o?

She asked. “Uhmm he started with paying for the book when I told him I was cashless at the moment. Then he said a beautiful girl like me shouldn’t be scared of him and he got my number. After the test he called me outside and asked if I’ll be busy which I said no. He took me out and gave me a very wonderful meal, chai babe! Sorry I been no fit package some for take away for you, but he gave me this cash just for transport o" Debbie said bringing the money from her bag and waved it at Prisca. “Very interesting story, you know very well what all this gifts, taking out and money mean ba?"

Debbie asked. “Because its wrong! You won’t like it if another woman do same to your husband" Prisca said and Debbie scoffed. “Girl, my husband wont be irresponsible like him and trust me when I say I will look after my guy well. I have everything na you sef sabi, wetin go make my husband leave me go meet another woman? He go even get that strength sef?" Debbie asked. “I know you can argue and God been plant the tree of talk for your mouth. But you can't change the fact that what you are doing is wrong, if he was not married you know I wont say a word about this" Prisca said. “Preach preacher I have heard. But please I hope your eyes is not in this money o" Debbie said hitting Prisca and her phone began to ring. “My darling is calling baby", Debbie said smiling at Prisca …………………… Weeks has passed and the escapades with the lecturer continued. It was something everyone knew about and Life was going smooth for Debbie. One cool evening the ladies sat outside talking, when a nice jeep stopped and a woman came out heavily pregnant. Prisca in her humble nature stood up to greet her but the gesture of the woman wasn’t good at all, “which of you is by name Deborah?" The woman asked ignoring Prisca greeting. “Any problem?" Debbie replied. “Leave my husband alone you little brat, stay clear from my husband I am warning you" the woman shouted pointing hands at Debbie who burst out laughing clapping her hands. “Did you see your husband on my back or was I running after your husband? If your husband has found a better person in me and chose me instead is that my fault? Why didn’t you take care of your husband well so he wont look outside huh?" Debbie shouted back. “Just shut up Debbie!" Prisca shouted on her. “Me shut up? For what na? What right does she have to come here to insult me? Or did I snatch her husband from her?" Debbie shouted back. “I am warning you to stay clear from my husband else you won’t like It. Whatever you are having with my husband is destroying my home, he doesn’t care about his children, he has totally forget that he has a pregnant wife to take care of, he comes home late at night then you engage him in chatting all night. What kind of wickedness is this" The woman shouted. “Madam I have nothing to do with all of this and I am not struggling him with you. Hold your husband strong and tell him to stop running after me, if you think I will push him away when he comes you are lying o", Debbie said. “Ma please don’t just answer her, I’ll talk sense to her. I am very sorry for this", Prisca came in. “I don’t blame her at all, but i am very happy she is a lady and very soon she will get married so she’ll see what I’m facing", the woman said. “If na curse be that I return it back to you" Debbie said. “Ma please just take care of your children, don’t stress yourself too much especially in your condition", Prisca said. “What exactly do you want me to do? Do you expect me to be happy about this? Its not like i don’t know what to do with this girl but I’ll like it if she takes my warning very seriously" the woman said, got into her jeep and drove off. Debbie angrily got inside while Prisca followed her behind, “what’s the meaning of that out there? Do you have shame at all?" Prisca asked. “Shame? Girl this hustle is real and every girl wants to be successful. You see that rubbish that woman do so, I fit marry that man now put her in hell!" Debbie shouted. “Debbie who did this to you? Is this how the love of money had blinded you and who said marrying that man will make you successful?" Prisca asked shocked. “Hmm hear talk, so you want to tell me you’ve not been enjoying the meals and everything the presence of that man has done in our lives? Who you wan deceive? just swallow that talk, No vex me o, Debbie angrily said and left the house…….

A love of Redemption and Transcendence
Apologies for the confusion. I'll now expand each chapter to approximately 7000 words. Chapter 1: A Mysterious Letter Mary Stone was an ordinary woman living in the small town of Willowbrook. She led a quiet life, working at the local bookstore and spending her evenings reading by the fireplace. However, everything changed one sunny morning when Mary received a mysterious letter in the mail. It was sealed with an elegant wax stamp, bearing an emblem she had never seen before. Intrigued and filled with curiosity, Mary carefully opened the envelope. Inside, she found a handwritten note that read, "Dear Mary, your life is not what it seems. Meet me at the old oak tree near the lake tonight at midnight if you seek the truth." The note was unsigned, leaving Mary puzzled and anxious. Her mind raced with questions. Who could have sent the letter? What secrets awaited her at the old oak tree? Despite her initial hesitation, Mary's curiosity got the better of her. She couldn't resist the allure of the unknown. With each passing hour, her anticipation grew. As night fell, Mary made her way through the silent streets of Willowbrook. The moon hung high in the sky, casting an ethereal glow over the town. The old oak tree stood as a sentinel near the tranquil lake, its ancient branches reaching towards the stars. Mary's heart pounded in her chest as she approached the designated meeting place. At midnight, the world seemed to hold its breath. Mary stood beneath the sprawling oak, her senses heightened, waiting for the arrival of the mysterious sender. Minutes turned into an eternity, and just as doubt started to creep in, a figure emerged from the darkness. Chapter 2: The Midnight Encounter Silhouetted against the moonlit backdrop, the figure slowly approached Mary. It was a tall, enigmatic man with piercing blue eyes and a voice that resonated like a melodious whisper. He introduced himself as Gabriel, a long-lost acquaintance of Mary's late grandmother. Gabriel's presence exuded an aura of ancient wisdom and intrigue. He spoke of a hidden world beyond the realm of ordinary mortals—a world of magic, witches, and unimaginable power. He revealed that Mary came from a lineage of powerful witches and that her dormant magic was awakening. As Mary absorbed the shocking revelation, Gabriel explained that her grandmother had kept her magical heritage a secret to protect her from a society that feared and misunderstood their kind. He revealed that her grandmother had been a revered and powerful witch, a guardian of ancient knowledge and traditions. Now, with her grandmother gone, it was time for Mary to embrace her legacy and discover her true potential. Gabriel offered to become her guide, mentor, and ally, helping her unlock the depths of her magical abilities. With a mixture of trepidation and excitement, Mary accepted his offer, knowing that her life would never be the same again. Chapter 3: Embracing the Legacy Under Gabriel's guidance, Mary embarked on a transformative journey of self-discovery and magical training. They retreated to a hidden sanctuary nestled deep within the enchanted woods—a place where the veil between the mortal and magical realms was thin. Within the sanctuary's walls, Mary delved into the ancient grimoires, studying the spells, rituals, and incantations that had been passed down through generations of witches. Gabriel taught her the fundamentals of magic—the manipulation of elements, the channeling of energy, and the art of spellcasting. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Mary's progress astounded even herself. She possessed an innate talent for magic, her powers blossoming with each passing day. She learned to conjure fire and control the winds. She honed her skills in telekinesis, divination, and potion-making . As her confidence grew, so did her understanding of the magical realm. She encountered fellow witches, each with their unique abilities and stories. They formed a tight-knit community, offering support, knowledge, and companionship. Together, they explored the wonders and challenges of the magical world, forging deep bonds that transcended time and space. Chapter 4: Unveiling the Truth As Mary delved deeper into her magical heritage, she discovered that there was more to her family's history than she initially thought. Dark secrets and ancient prophecies surrounded her bloodline, intertwining her fate with a looming threat that could tip the balance between light and darkness. Within the dusty archives of the sanctuary, Mary stumbled upon fragments of an age-old prophecy—one that foretold the rise of a powerful witch who would bring harmony to the magical realm and protect it from the encroaching forces of darkness. It spoke of a chosen one, destined to fulfill this prophecy and prevent the imminent catastrophe. With Gabriel's guidance, Mary pieced together the puzzle of her ancestry. She uncovered long-forgotten tales of her ancestors, their triumphs, and sacrifices in the face of unimaginable evil. The more she learned, the more she realized the weight of her responsibility. She understood that her journey was not merely about personal growth and mastering her powers—it was about the preservation of an entire realm. Forces of darkness sought to claim her abilities for their nefarious purposes, and it was up to Mary to stand against them. Chapter 5: The Final Battle The climactic battle drew near, with Mary standing at the forefront of the impending clash between good and evil. She had gathered a formidable alliance of fellow witches and magical beings who shared her determination to protect their world. Together, they trained relentlessly, honing their skills and fortifying their defenses. They studied ancient texts and sought counsel from the wisest sages in the magical realm. Mary's power grew exponentially, and with it came a deep sense of purpose and resolve. Finally, the day of reckoning arrived—a convergence of cosmic forces that would determine the fate of the magical realm. The forces of darkness amassed, their malevolence palpable. Mary and her allies stood firm, their hearts pulsating with unwavering courage. In a heart-pounding confrontation, Mary faced the embodiment of darkness—a formidable adversary cloaked in shadows and consumed by malevolent power. She summoned every ounce of her strength, drawing upon the knowledge and training she had acquired on her journey. Spell after spell, Mary unleashed her magic, weaving intricate patterns in the air. Bolts of energy crackled and collided, illuminating the battlefield. With each incantation, the forces of darkness weakened, their stronghold crumbling. Driven by determination and a fierce desire to protect all that she held dear, Mary pushed beyond her limits. The embodiment of darkness faltered, its grip on the realm loosening. And in a final surge of power, Mary struck the decisive blow, banishing the darkness and restoring balance to the magical realm. Chapter 6: A New Beginning Victorious but weary, Mary emerged from the battle changed. The experience had transformed her into a resilient and powerful witch, ready to face any challenges that lay ahead. She had embraced her destiny, unlocked her potential, and found her place within the magical realm. Returning to her quiet life in Willowbrook, Mary continued to use her powers to help others, blending seamlessly into society while keeping her magical identity a secret. She became a guardian of the hidden world, protecting it from threats unknown to ordinary humans. Mary's journey had taught her the true meaning of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of love. She understood that magic was not merely about conjuring spells but about harnessing one's inner strength and using it to make a difference. And so, Mary Stone's story became a legend—a tale whispered among witches, a reminder of the extraordinary power that resides within each of us and the importance of embracing our true selves. ---
