CHAPTER 30 “CORDELIA”

As Inspired by the DEEP ONE
The door creaked open.
I froze, my heart in my throat. Tears blurred my vision so badly I couldn’t make out the face standing there. A silhouette, a breath, a voice.
“Oh my God!” the voice gasped. “What are you doing here? Do you want to hasten your death?”
Questions poured out like bullets.
“Why didn’t you stay in your room? Do you even know what you’ve done? Do you want to die today?”
The figure moved closer, crouched, grabbed my arm. “You have to get out of here… God, is this why You told me to come back here?” he muttered under his breath. “Get up… get up. We need to get out of here.”
I blinked hard, forcing my tear-wet eyes to focus. Slowly the face sharpened.
It was him.
The pity-eye boy. The one who always sat at the edge of gatherings, glancing at me with looks. The one who had silently signaled me when to kneel, when to speak, when to stop.
“You?” I whispered, my voice thick with disgust. “You are also part of them?”
His jaw tightened. “No… and yes,” he said quietly. “My brother is Father’s PA. He’s the only surviving family I have. He dragged me here. I don’t have anywhere else to go. So I’m just a victim like everyone. But a victim who still knows God genuinely… and prays day and night for His deliverance…for everyone here.”
His words fell like stones. My heart thudded louder.
“Listen to me,” he said urgently, leaning close. “Real quick. The marriage? It’s a farce. You are to be sacrificed. Buy yourself more time. Be a good wife. Let him believe you love him. Let him love sleeping with you. It will buy you time before he discards you. I have witnessed the sacrifice of ten Eves. Ten.”
My stomach twisted violently.
“The saints are gullible,” he went on, his voice a harsh whisper. “They have witnessed the crowning of ten queens. But after about two weeks, Father announces their hearts have ‘fallen below standard.’ They’re sent to the lake of fire. This lake of fire to be roasted and merchandised The longest reigning queen lived four weeks. Her name was Mildred.”
Mildred.
The name stabbed me. In that moment, a flash of memory hit me: the inscription I had seen scrawled on the wall in my Eve room when Father’s spell lifted…“M was H.” My mind had been too numb with grief to make sense of it. Now, here was the meaning, spilling from his lips. She had written “Mildred was Here”.
Here was this boy, bombarding me with information that could drive a sane person mad. My hands trembled, my breath shallow.
“Get up,” he urged again, gripping my arm tighter. “Devotion will soon be over. Run to your room. Don’t let them know you saw anything. If they find out, you’re dead. Buy more time. I’ll keep in touch.”
He pushed me gently but firmly, guiding me toward the corridor.
We had barely taken two steps when voices echoed from the end of the hallway.
Footsteps.
Getting closer.
The boy’s grip on me tightened. His eyes widened in fear.
“They’re coming,” he hissed. “Go!”

I’m still waiting to know what Tijesunnimi is doing all this while Mabel is in
Well, deep wording with a sphere where God is made to work out things for good…
The devil keeps darkening the hearts of men. Imagine taking 10 Eves and sacrificing them and telling gullible saints that “they have fallen below standards”. The heart of men are desperately wicked.God have mercy
At this time, I’m so scared but knowing Mabel wrote this gives me some peace that she would survive this.
More grace and anointing ma
I’m really speechless here
God safe both of them please!
God bless you mummy
OMG i am scared but then i believe in God’s intervention as long as His name is mentionned! It’s and will be well. Amen
Where my hands can’t reach( to change a thing), my heart can ( in silent and persistent prayers).
May deep thoughts live and not die!!
Replying to @Chika Lois
Amen
What stood out for me, was that inspite of the fact that he was also a victim, he was still in close fellowship with God and praying for the deliverance of the people there. This is an example for us to follow. If we can’t reach or preach to them for them to listen. Pray!
Oh my God 😢
Run
Run
Run
Actor no de die for film
Replying to @Annonymous

Mercy Mercy Mercy O Lord 🙏
God bless you sis
Holy Spirit 😱
10 Eves!
The Father is a devil incarnate.
Victim of circumstances, but still in touch with God, despite all odds, and also prays genuinely for others.
Let Your mercy, Oh Lord, speak for us.
More grace ma
Father Soji, the third Adam!
God,
One thing I know for sure is that if God is involved He will surely make a way for her, thank you ma, oil on your head will not run dry
Replying to @Udoh Chioma
She won’t even die as she’s the one telling us the story
Replying to @Udoh Chioma
I believe so too. Father Soji may likely keep her, guess she will be a special one, probably may also love her genuinely. If it was God that led her there to reveal all those secrets, I believe it’s for a purpose
Ten Eves 🥺😱😳
God please let your mercy prevail
