EPISODE 14 \u2013 The Way He Start to Look Me<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It didn\u2019t happen all at once.<\/p>\n

At first, I didn\u2019t notice. I just thought he was protective, caring, maybe even genuinely concerned. But little by little, the way he looked at me changed everything.<\/p>\n

He would watch me cook. Not to help, but to see if I dropped anything.
\nHe would stand close when I cleaned, his eyes lingering too long on my hands, my face, my body.
\nI started noticing how he frowned when I spoke to neighbors or asked about small things I wanted to do outside the room.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy you dey look other people?\u201d<\/em> he asked once.
\n\u201cYou no suppose dey happy with me alone?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t anger. It was calm, controlled, deliberate.<\/p>\n

Slowly, I realized my movements were no longer entirely mine.
\nI dressed carefully, avoiding clothes that might \u201cattract\u201d attention.
\nI hesitated to step outside without asking.
\nEven my phone felt like it belonged to him.<\/p>\n

I tried to tell myself it was love. Care. Concern. But deep inside, a knot of fear started growing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI dey jealous, Nkiru,\u201d<\/em> he whispered one evening. \u201cYou\u2019re all I get here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Jealousy. Possessiveness. Subtle control.
\nThe words sounded soft, almost tender. But their weight pressed on me like a hand tightening around my wrist.<\/p>\n

I started sleeping with one eye open \u2014 not to watch him, but to watch myself.
\nEvery choice I made, every thought I had, I measured it before speaking or acting.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when I understood: my freedom was shrinking.
\nAnd I didn\u2019t know how to stop it.<\/p>\n

Episode 15 Coming Soon<\/strong>
\nThe first night he tells me \u201cYou no need suffer again. I dey here\u201d<\/em>, and she begins to give in emotionally. Comfort slowly turns into a cage.<\/p>\n
