Hello Steemians, how are you all doing? Hope you are all doing well; I will be dropping my entry in this amazing contest that is organized by @steemkidss.

Once upon a time in a village called Ohabe, there lived a girl that is very beautiful and very hardworking, her name was Adanna, Adanna lost her parents in a car accident when she was only 2 years old, so this made her parentless, nobody to care for her, no one to take good care of her.

After the burial of Mr. and Mrs. James, because Adanna's father is Mr. James by name.

James had a younger sister who had been married for two years without any child, so she decided to take Adanna as her biological child.

But Adanna doesn't know that her father's sister is a devil in disguise.

After two years, Adanna started living with her Aunty when she was already 4 years old; then she found out that her Aunty didn't have a male child yet because she never knew that the people she was living with were not her real parents.

So that particular day, Ada called her mum, Mummy I want to have a younger brother, the Aunty answered her ok my daughter.

Then Adanna placed her hands in her aunt's stomach and prayed for the fruit of the womb; after 3 months, she became pregnant and gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

Adanna was very happy that she now had siblings to always play with, not knowing that the world was coming to an end on her side.

Her aunt's attitude towards Adanna changed immediately after she gave birth to her own children; she started maltreatment Adanna and stopped her from going to school.

But Adanna was still very prayerful, asking God to change her mum to be as good as she was before.

But her Aunt did not change, and her character became worse every day.

At 7yesrs Adanna was the one doing all the house chores, like washing plates and washing clothes

Despite all of this going on between Adanna and her aunt, she still loves her very much because she can never pray a day without asking God to bless her mum.

This hatred that Adanna Aunty had towards her continued till Ada was 20 years old.

And then her twins were already 14 years old.

Many men started asking for Adanna's hand in marriage, but her aunt always tried to discourage all the men, telling them that she killed her parents when she was still very young.

But just know that what is not yours will never be.

So one day, Adanna was coming back from the market and met a man who was just looking like a beggar on the road.

He approaches Adanna, telling her that he loves her and he would like to marry her.

Adanna knew fully well that her Aunty would only accept this kind of man because the man didn't have a car and he didn't have money, because the kind of men that had been coming to seek Adanna's hands in marriage were all Rich men. But her aunt will always find means to discourage the person.

So when Adanna saw this particular person that day, she just said father let your will be done, she took the young man home telling her mum, that this is the man that want to come and marry her.

Her aunt accepted and blessed their union.

In her mind, she was saying Ada go and suffer, not knowing that Adanna's husband is the richest man in their community, just that the man was looking for true love.

After the marriage, then Adanna's husband decided to review his true identity by telling everyone his real name and the family he is coming from.

Adanna's aunt was so disappointed in herself that she started asking Adanna for forgiveness.

Please be good to people, not minding if the person is your child or not.

Adanna's life was changed completely because the husband was taking good care of her very well.

Thanks for reading my story
