Chapter 5.
The hostile Abi; was gentle through out the thanksgiving ceremony. Since she was not the thanksgiving queen of the year in the Adeleke's family everyone who came felt relieve knowing fully well that they would not be abused or insulted.
The incident of the morning was still fresh in Abi's mind till night fall of that day, she was surprised that an ajebo like Erica would be able to land her such a slap that looked almost like a reset to her brain. She was the first to go to sleep that day, she couldn't even brag about anything or hurt anyone ad usual.
The thanksgiving ended in praise and was the talk of the town not only because of the gift or different types of delicacies prepared by the Adeleke's, but because the whole community saw another elegant beauty who stood as the queen of the Adeleke's on the thanksgiving day to share gift, yet she was not abusive nor disrespectful. The children felt free because they would not be need to hide since they was nobody to mark them as prey for the next bully parade.
Mr. Jude on his side was glad to see that nobody complained about been insulted nor beaten even after the thanksgiving ceremony this gave the whole family joy and happiness. It was really a glad reunion for ma'am Bimbo Adeleke, to actually see she now had two beautiful grand daughters. It kept her in the most joyful and amazing state of mind throughout the day.
After the thanksgiving; everyone started anticipating christmas. Abi already knew that since she was not the queen for the Adeleke's thanksgiving she wasn't going to be the x-mas queen too. So she started making plans to hurt Erica, So as to maintain her position as the queen of x-mas. Erica herself was already aware that she had a rival who would stop at nothing to hurt her for no reason. So, she had her hands on deck expecting the worst that would happen.
It was no longer news that Abi was not the only grand daughter of the Ma'am Bimbo Adeleke, as those who attended the thanksgiving ceremony did not fail to tell those who were absent including those returning for xmas that another queen has emerged from the Adeleke's lineage from uncle D's household. This alone gave Abi a burn in the heart because even her girls felt irritated at the fact that she couldn't maintain an ordinary position of a queen in her fathers house. But Abi disrespect and nonchalant attitude did not end, instead she was charged to cause more harm other than to change for better.
