PROLOGUE

Bunmi covered in a corner of his room, terrified. He had failed his exams at school again and remembered dreadfully what happened the last time he came home with a bad result from school, he had been beaten quite harshly by his stepfather , who also accused him of wasting the school fees spent on him. Bunmi always believed that it was because they were not really related and he would not be treated so, if it was his real father. He heard his mother talking to her husband, telling him to be gentle. He on the other hand was shouting at the top of his voice, how he so wanted to kill his stepfather, of only he could. He heard the footsteps coming up the stairs, then the door opened.
