EPISODE 8 \u2013 He Promised Me Work in Lagos<\/strong><\/h2>\n

He called again two days later.<\/p>\n

This time, I didn\u2019t pretend to hesitate. I picked up on the first ring.<\/p>\n

His voice sounded warm, almost familiar now. He asked how I slept. He asked if I had eaten. Small questions, but they landed softly on my tired heart. Nobody had asked me things like that in a long time.<\/p>\n

Then he went straight to the point.<\/p>\n

He said he had a job for me in Lagos. A good<\/em> job. Not one of those hustles where people cheat you and disappear. He said it was office work. Nothing stressful. Decent salary.<\/p>\n

Before I could ask too many questions, he added something that made my chest tighten.<\/p>\n

Accommodation was already arranged.<\/p>\n

He said I wouldn\u2019t need to struggle or squat with anybody. I would have a place to stay while I settled down. He said he hated seeing young girls suffer unnecessarily.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don suffer reach,\u201d<\/em> he said softly. \u201cMake life small easy for you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I listened in silence. Hope began to bloom quietly inside me, the kind of hope you don\u2019t shout about because you\u2019re afraid it might disappear if you do.<\/p>\n

He spoke confidently, like someone who had done this before. He said Lagos rewards seriousness. He said I didn\u2019t need to worry about my past there. Nobody cared where you came from, only what you could do.<\/p>\n

That part touched me deeply.<\/p>\n

I asked him what kind of company it was. He said he would explain everything when I arrived. He didn\u2019t want to confuse me over the phone.<\/p>\n

Something about that should have worried me. But it didn\u2019t. Not then.<\/p>\n

He said he would personally make sure I was okay. He said my mother would have wanted that.<\/p>\n

That sentence stayed with me long after the call ended.<\/p>\n

I sat on my bed, staring at the wall, imagining a different life. A room of my own. A steady income. A place where nobody knew my story.<\/p>\n

For the first time in years, the future didn\u2019t feel like a threat.<\/p>\n

It felt like a door opening.<\/p>\n

Episode 9 Coming Soon<\/strong>
\nWhen I finally told my father about the offer, his reaction made me question everything \u2014 but by then, my heart had already started packing.<\/p>\n
