CHAPTER 23 “CORDELIA”


©️ Opeyemi Akintunde
As Inspired by the DEEP ONE

I gave in.

Not because I wanted it. Not because it was holy. But because I was tired. Tired of fighting, tired of being locked in my own body.

I let him touch me. I let him lay with me. And I wept. Not silent tears anymore but the deep kind that choke you from inside.

I thought of the women of faith. I thought of Esther … how she became queen not because she wanted a crown but because God needed her crown to deliver His people. Could it be the same with me? Could this shame and pain be part of some strange plan?

While Father Soji did whatever he did, my heart bled. Emotionally, I was raw. Physically, I felt pain. My only comfort was a thin hope that maybe … just maybe … God would use this for something good.

Then he stood up.

The moment he moved away, I felt it. The chains fell off. My eyes opened. My body could move again. Freedom? No. It wasn’t freedom. It was a new kind of bondage, a chain you don’t see but feel in your spirit.

He dressed quietly. “You can rest as long as you want. You don’t have to come for the morning devotion,” he said softly before leaving the room.

Was that all? Just like that?

What next? As “Eve”… what next? Now that I had been joined to this obviously wrong man, what next?

I lay on the bed for hours, too weak to rise. Tears streamed without stopping. My mind kept replaying the nights I had imagined for my wedding. How I had planned to pray with my husband first, worship with him, and then, in peace, become one in the sweetest way. Instead, my first night was a robbery.

The tears wouldn’t end.

Somewhere between sobs, I began to hear the faint sound of morning devotion … the saints singing again.

I didn’t plan to get up. I didn’t have the strength. Yet my body rose on its own. I didn’t even know what was pushing me.

Step by step I followed the pull. But it wasn’t toward the chapel.

It was leading me somewhere else.
Where?

  1. Hmm God help us, I’m speechless right now,even as I was reading it , I felt goosebumps on my body, dear Lord make a way for Mabel in the midst of the storm
    More grace mummy opeyemi

  2. It’s hard to comprehend this chapter, I wanted to stop reading at some point but somehow I read up to the end and I feel the pull is pushing Mabel to the secret chambers. This might be the turning point.

  3. She now has a Spirit husband notice that their consummation was in the spiritual realm and not physically.
    That father is not human

  4. I think she forgot to rededicate her life back to God after she was initiated. She was so focused on saving her friend than by allowing the Holy Spirit lead her, hence she keeps on sinking.
    I remember the other novel I read where teenagers where prostitutes. Madam Favor went in undercover because she was instructed to by the Holy Spirit and when she got there she was still connected to the Holy Spirit asking g for directions on every move she takes.

  5. You know what? I was afraid to open this chapter since yesterday’s night , I mean afraid. Hmmmm, His ways cannot be fathomed

  6. Oooo the lengthen comment i’ve just made wiped off. I am sad because i can’t recommence. Sucintly put, i regretted my inability to follow up thus don’t know what preceded this particular episode and where it is leading to. I mentioned that our Compassionate Father should please have mercy on Mabel which character i picked from previous comments appreciating she was terribly hesitant of the unholy act but was pressurised methinks for one reason or the other. His grace as alwaysss. Amen!

  7. Ohhh! this is not happening. I just hope it was a dream and if it wasn’t then I am pained but God cannot be question because Isaiah 55:8-9 says
    [8] For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. [9] For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

  8. Ah 😒😩
    My heart bleeds 😭😭😭
    I was thinking something will happen and Soji Abi na father will not touch her again. Oh! I was wrong. He ended up raping and defiling her 😫😫

  9. Too short and the most painful of them so far…I weep for Mabel but I pray that where your body leads you to will be a better place and not another cage in Jesus name. God bless you ma for this revelation but pls help with the suspense. Can I get a soft copy of it or you help us post daily? Pls ma.

  10. Organized fornication. And then he’s going to preach and pray. Abomination happening today in the name of Spirit. I wonder how many girls he has defiled with the church applauding his promiscuity.
    God will surely judge.

  12. Haaaa! Heartbroken kai😭

    God bless you mummy for all this thing you’re doing.

  13. Hmmmm!
    When a child, even an adult gets to a fearful place, he would be terrified!
    I pray that she keeps up the communication line with God

    More grace ma

      I have always long for the next chapter but tonight’s chapter was the best one and only birthday gift I received today, because today been my birthday was rough, full of pains, and uncertainty.
      Thanks so much for this gift, ma.
      More Grace, ma.

  14. Oh my God, just felt like weeping for Mabel. Just imagine chaining someone’s body to prove that the marriage was ordained? God please see her through

  15. Hmmmmm…this is more than scary. My heart is beating seriously for Mabel. Great work…more grace ma.

  16. 😡😡😡😡😡 now where is this pull leading her too? My Father help our singles not to be forcefully subjected to what is not your will for their lives in Jesus name.
    More Grace Ma

    1. Replying to @Stephen Victoria

      Amen and Amen.
      I would have prefer her to die like a martyr to allowing that beast raped her!

      God help me please
