I WAS ERASED BY MY OWN SISTER
PART 7
The rain poured heavily as Nneka stumbled through the streets, her bare feet bruised and bleeding, her hospital scrubs soaked through. She had no money, no phone—nothing but the burning will to survive.
With the last of her strength, she knocked on a familiar door.
Amanda’s house.
When the door opened, Amanda’s eyes widened in horror.
“Nneka?!” she gasped, barely recognizing the frail, trembling woman before her.
Nneka collapsed into her arms, sobbing.
“It’s me… It’s really me.”
Amanda pulled her inside, wrapping her in a blanket, her hands shaking as she took in Nneka’s sunken cheeks, the scars on her wrists from restraints, the haunted look in her eyes.
“What happened to you?!” Amanda cried.
And then, Nneka told her everything
Amanda listened in stunned silence, her hands covering her mouth as Nneka recounted the nightmare—how Ngozi had drugged her, framed her as insane, and stolen her life.
“She’s living as me,” Nneka whispered, her voice raw. “She married Emeka. She destroyed my business. And she left me to rot.”
Amanda’s shock turned to fury.
“That monster!” she spat, gripping Nneka’s hands. “We’re going to expose her. Tonight.”
With Amanda’s phone, Nneka dialed her parents’ number, her fingers trembling.
When her mother answered, Nneka broke down.
“Mama… it’s me. It’s Nneka.”
Silence. Then—
“Nneka?! But… but you’re here with us! Ngozi is—”
“NO!” Nneka shouted, her voice cracking. “That’s not Ngozi! That’s me! Ngozi put me in a mental hospital and took my place!”
Her parents were silent for a long moment. Then, her father’s voice, thick with grief:
“Oh my God… We didn’t know. We didn’t see it.”
The realization hit them like a knife to the heart.
They had been living with an imposter.
And they had failed their real daughter.
Gathered in Amanda’s living room, Nneka, her parents, and Amanda devised a plan.
“We need proof,” Amanda said. “Something undeniable.”
Nneka’s eyes darkened.
“I have an idea.”
She knew Ngozi better than anyone.
And she knew exactly where to strike.
Meanwhile, Ngozi sat in Emeka’s house—her house, as far as she was concerned—sipping wine as she scrolled through property listings.
Emeka wanted a divorce?
Fine.
But she wouldn’t leave empty-handed.
If he thought he could throw her out, he was wrong.
Dead wrong.
She smirked, reaching for a small vial hidden in her purse.
A tasteless, odorless poison.
One sip, and Emeka would be gone in hours.
And as his "grieving widow," she would inherit everything.
“You should have just loved me, Emeka,” she murmured, swirling the wine glass.
“Now, you’ll die regretting it.”
That night, Nneka and Amanda drove to Emeka’s house, her parents following close behind.
Nneka’s heart pounded as she stared at the mansion—her home, now occupied by her betrayer.
She took a deep breath.
“It’s time.”
Inside, Ngozi was just lifting the poisoned glass to Emeka’s lips when—
The door burst open.
Nneka stood in the doorway, her eyes blazing with fury.
“Hello, sister.”
Ngozi’s glass slipped from her fingers, shattering on the floor.
Emeka turned, his breath catching.
“Nneka…?”
The room fell silent.
The game was over.
And Ngozi’s reign of lies was about to crumble.
