#TheChurchGirl #OneChanceReplay AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS AND PATRONS ONLY The Church Girl - #TheGuardian 13 . Amaka woke up in the hospital, having suffered a mild concussion from her fall. She quickly shut her eyes, when the bright light in the room, aggravated her headache. She turned her head and tried opening her eyes again. A blurry face came into view. “She’s awake!” Adania called to the medical staff, and went to sit beside her sister. “Hey, dear… You okay?” Amaka looked at her sister, trying to remember what had happened. The memory returned to her, when she noticed her sister’s slight bump. She shifted away in her bed. Adania swallowed. “How are you, Sis?” “How could you?!” Amaka asked, tears stinging her eyes. “You’re my sister! He is my husband! How could you?” “We’ll talk about it when you get home. Just take your rest, Sis,” Adania said. “I’m not going anywhere with you! Where’s Mommy?” Amaka asked. “I’ve called her. She’s on her way.” Amaka leaned back on the pillow, feeling a little dizzy still. A nurse came in to check her vision and reflexes, and other vital signs of recovery. “You suffered quite a nasty fall there,” the nurse said. “Do you remember what happened?” “She slipped on some water,” Adania lied… Register free and read this episode for one week only at https://blog.ufuomaee.org/the-church-girl-the-guardian-13 or follow LINK IN BIO to blog.ufuomaee.org The Church Girl story series has now been converted to a book.

His father was a Caucasian American, who also sported good looks and broad shoulders. Jamie was born in the United States of America, where he also spent his early years. He moved with his family to Nigeria 25 years ago, when his father bought and took over the small investment bank that was later renamed Solomon Investment Bank. He returned to California to do a degree in Accounting at the University of California. It was while he was in Los Angeles, living as a Bachelor and working at an Accounting Firm that he had met the beautiful Amaka Nkechi, the younger sister of his friend, Adania.
