Muna Chronicles

I froze at the door.

Ma my heart started beating so loudly, I thought it would give me away.

There they were…
My husband…
and my best friend…
On my bed.

The same bed I prayed on.
The same bed I shared with him.
I couldn’t scream.
I couldn’t cry.
I just stood there… shaking.

Then she saw me.
“Chioma…”
That was all she could say.

I didn’t shout.
I didn’t fight.
I quietly closed the door… and walked out.
My husband ran after me, barefoot, trying to explain.
“It’s not what you think!”

But what exactly was I supposed to think?

That they were praying?
That they were discussing my future?
I looked at him…
and for the first time… I saw a stranger.

That night, I didn’t sleep.
I kept asking myself one question:

When did it start?

Was it the days she came when I wasn’t home?
Was it the way he defended her every time?
Or was I just too blind to see?

The next morning, while he was bathing... I quietly checked his phone.

And that was when I saw everything.
Messages… pictures… plans…
They didn’t just betray me.

They had been planning a life without me.

The worst part?
She wasn’t sorry.
She looked me in the eye and said,

“Chioma… you don’t deserve him.”
I laughed.

Because the same girl who once cried on my shoulder…
was now trying to take my place.

My husband stood there… silent.
That silence hurt more than the betrayal.

I packed my bags that evening.
No drama.
No shouting.
Just pain… and dignity.
As I walked out, he finally spoke:

“Chioma, please don’t go.”
I turned back and said,
“You didn’t think of that when you were with her.”
And I left.

Today, I’m healing.
It hasn’t been easy…
but I’ve learned something:

Not everyone you call family is truly yours.

Sometimes, the deepest betrayal comes from the closest people.
But I refuse to let their actions destroy me.
Because one day…
I will smile again.
And this time…

I will choose myself...Again, Again and Again!

If you were in my shoes would you have done differently?

©️ Muna Chronicles

Please ma, hide my identity.

You can call me Chioma. I’m from Anambra.

I never believed my own husband could betray me…
not with the one person I trusted the most.
My best friend.
We grew up together. Ate from the same plate. Shared secrets no one else knew.
So when I got married…
I brought her into my home like family.
I didn’t know I was bringing my replacement.

She started visiting often.
At first, it was normal.
Then she began coming even when I wasn’t around.
My husband said I was overthinking.
“Chioma, she’s like your sister,” he said.
And I believed him.

One afternoon, I came home early.
I heard laughter from the bedroom.
Their laughter.
When I opened the door…
My whole world shattered.

Ma, What I saw broke me💔

Ma..... I think the worst has happened 💔

After my step father proposed to me about becoming his wife...
I couldn’t believe what I just heard.

Marry him?

My own stepfather?

I laughed… but deep down, I was scared. Because the way he looked at me… he was serious.

“Angela, nobody will understand us,” he said.
“But we understand each other.”

Ma, My heart started beating fast.
I couldn't even tell if it was love… or was I already trapped?

I tried to avoid him after that.
I stayed longer outside, visited neighbors, even slept with the lights on.

But he didn’t stop.
He started becoming softer… kinder… more convincing.

“You’re not a child anymore.”
“I’ve taken care of you all these years.”
“Who else will love you like I do?”

His words entered my head… slowly....

Ma I couldn't resist.....I just wished I had resisted ...
Then one evening… he brought it up again.
This time, he didn’t ask.

He said:

“I’ve already spoken to someone. We can do it quietly.”
That was when fear hit me.

This wasn’t just talk anymore.
It was real.
And somehow…
I didn’t stop it.

Then the worst happened…

I missed my period.
At first, I denied it.
Maybe it was stress.
Maybe it was nothing.

But deep down… I knew.

I was pregnant.

The first person that noticed something was wrong… was my aunt....my mum's immediate younger sister..

She visited unexpectedly.

The way she looked at me… it was like she knew.

“Angela, are you okay?” she asked.

I said yes.

But my voice betrayed me.

That night, she pulled me aside.

“Something is not right in this house,” she said.

I froze.

I wanted to tell her everything…

But I couldn’t.
Because somehow… I was already defending him in my mind.

Before she left, she said something I will never forget:

“If you don’t speak now… you might regret it forever.”

I watched her go.

And I kept quiet.

Ma do you think I should reveal my secret affair to her?
What about the baby? What should I do?

I'm just ashamed of myself. Please help me 🙏🏽💔

Please ma, hide my identity.

You can call me Angela. I’m from the eastern part of Nigeria.

Everyone thinks I’m a fool… and maybe, after everything that has happened, they might not be entirely wrong.

But before you judge me, please listen to my story.

I wasn’t always like this. I used to be the kind of girl people admired, quiet, respectful, and full of dreams. My mother used to call me her “light.” It was just the two of us for many years, until she got married again.

That was how he came into my life.

At first, he was everything a father should be. Calm. Caring. Responsible. He provided for us, made my mother happy, and treated me like his own daughter. I trusted him… I respected him.

I never saw it coming.

When my mother fell sick, everything changed. The house that once felt warm suddenly became heavy with silence and fear. I watched her grow weaker every day, and there was nothing I could do.

The day she died, a part of me died with her.

After the burial, people came and went. The house became empty again, just me and him.

That’s when things started to feel… different.

At first, it was small things. The way he looked at me. The way his voice softened when he called my name. I told myself I was overthinking. After all, he was my stepfather.

But one night, everything changed.

He came into my room.

I can still remember how my heart pounded so loudly I thought it would wake the whole house. He said he just wanted to “talk.” That I was all he had left. That we needed each other now more than ever.

I didn’t understand what he meant… not until he came closer.

I should have screamed. I should have run.

But I didn’t.

And that was the beginning of everything.

Weeks turned into months. What started as something I didn’t understand slowly became something I couldn’t escape. He would tell me things.....things that confused my mind and trapped my heart.

“That this is love.”
“That no one else would understand us.”
“That I belonged to him now.”

I hated myself for listening… but I listened anyway.

Before I knew it, I had crossed a line I never imagined I would.

And then one day, he said something that changed my life forever.

“Angela… let’s make this official.”

I laughed at first. I thought he was joking.

But he wasn’t.

He wanted to marry me.

My own stepfather.

That was the moment I realized… maybe everyone was right about me.

Because instead of running…

I stayed.

And the worst of it all...
I betrayed my mother..

Please Ma… what should I do?

©️ Muna Chronicles

My name is Timothy… but most people call me Tim.

I don’t know if this story will ever leave me, or if telling it will make anything better. But if you’re hearing this, maybe it’s because I don’t want another man to make the same mistake I made.

I had a wife. Her name was Matilda.

She wasn’t just my wife… she was peace. The kind of woman who made a hard day feel soft just by smiling at you. When she told me she was pregnant, I felt like God Himself had placed something sacred in my hands.

We were happy. Truly happy.

Everything was going well until the complications started.

The doctor said her pelvis was small… that natural delivery could be dangerous. He explained that a Caesarean section...CS, would be safer for both mother and child.

But I didn’t listen.

Or maybe I listened to the wrong voice.

Around that time, our pastor preached a message I can never forget. He said, “The women of God are like the Hebrew women, they are strong, they deliver without struggle. No knife shall touch what God has blessed.”

He said CS was a lack of faith.

And I believed him.

I held on to those words like they were life itself. I told my wife, “You will deliver like the Hebrew women. God will see us through.”

Matilda… she looked at me that day with fear in her eyes. Not doubt, fear. But she trusted me. She trusted my faith.

That trust is what killed her.

Most times I just wished she argued it with me.
I just wished she at least said a No.

The day came. Labor started.

At first, everything seemed normal. But hours passed… then more hours. The pain became unbearable. I could hear her screaming.....calling my name.

The doctors came again. They said we were running out of time. They said the baby was in distress. They begged me to sign the consent for surgery.

But I refused.

I kept saying, “No. God will do it. She will deliver naturally.”

I was praying… while my wife was dying.

At some point, her voice changed. It became weak… distant. I remember she grabbed my hand and whispered, “Tim… please…”

That was the last time she spoke to me.

Everything after that became noise, machines, footsteps, shouting.

Then silence.

A doctor came out and looked at me… not with anger, but with something worse, pity.

He said, “We lost them.”

Both of them.

My wife.

My child.

Gone.

Because I chose belief over wisdom.

Because I thought a procedure meant lack of faith.

Because I didn’t understand what “like the Hebrew women” truly meant.

Today, I live with that truth.

Delivering like the Hebrew women is not about rejecting medical help. It is not about proving strength or faith by risking lives.

It simply means this: the mother lives, and the child lives.

That is the miracle.

Not the method.

If I had known that… if I had understood that… Matilda would still be here. My child would still be here.

So I’m telling you, man to man, heart to heart—

Listen to your doctors.

Use wisdom.

Faith is not foolishness.

Don’t let pride, fear, or misinterpretation take away what you cannot replace.

Because some losses…

You don’t recover from them.

You just learn to breathe around the pain.

And I have been breathing like that… ever since I lost my family.

🎬 EPISODE 3: THEY TRIED TO STOP THE BELL

By the third day…

nobody was forming brave again.

Because now it was clear

the bell was not playing.

So some students decided:

“If this thing is the problem…
then let’s remove it.”

That was their first mistake.

That morning, school didn’t feel like school anymore.

It felt like… waiting room.

Everybody was careful.

Careful with what they said.
Careful with who they laughed with.
Careful with their phones.

Because now,

anybody could be next.

Chinedu stopped talking completely.

Amaka didn’t show up.

And for the first time…

even teachers were uneasy.

You know that kind of tension when adults are pretending everything is fine… but you can tell they are also confused?

Yes. That one.

By break time

a small group formed.

Not official.

Just students that were tired of being scared.

Tunde. (Always feels like a leader)
Bola. (Sharp, observant)
Femi. (The “I don’t believe in nonsense” type)

And two others.

Tunde spoke first.

“So we’re just going to sit down and be waiting for bell to expose all of us one by one?”

Femi scoffed.

“Abeg. There’s nothing like magic. Somebody is doing this.”

Bola nodded slowly.

“Then we find the person… or we remove the thing they’re using.”

Silence.

Then Tunde said it:

“The bell.”

The plan was simple.

After school,

they stay back.

Go to the bell tower.

And end it.

Closing time came.

Nobody needed announcement.

People were already leaving early.

Almost running.

But five of them stayed back.

Trying to act normal.

Waiting.

The compound emptied.

Silence returned.

That same uncomfortable silence.

Then....

GONG.

All of them froze.

Even Femi.

Mr “nothing is real.”

Bola whispered,

“…it has started.”

Second time,

GONG.

Tunde swallowed.

“Move.”

They walked fast.

Not running.

But not relaxed either.

Straight to the bell tower.

Now here’s the strange part.

The door to the tower…

was already open.

They paused.

Looked at each other.

Nobody said it out loud but,

that door is always locked.

Femi forced a laugh.

“See setup. Person don already come here.”

They entered.

The air inside was… wrong.

Heavy.

Like the room itself didn’t want them there.

The bell rope was hanging.

Still.

Not moving.

But they had all heard it.

Twice.

Tunde stepped forward.

“This thing ends today.”

He grabbed the rope.

Pulled it hard.

Nothing.

No sound.

No movement.

Bola frowned.

“Try again.”

He pulled harder.

Still nothing.

Femi walked around the bell.

Touched it.

Knocked it lightly.

CLANG.

The sound was weak.

Nothing like what they heard outside.

Femi’s face changed.

“…this is not the same sound.”

Silence.

Then suddenly,

Bola’s phone vibrated.

She looked down.

Unknown number.

Her face dropped.

“Guys…”

Another phone vibrated.

Then another.

Then another.

All of them.

At the same time.

Nobody wanted to check.

But they did.

Same message.

Same sender.

“You shouldn’t have come here.”

Before anyone could react—

GONG.

They all jumped.

The bell rang.

But the rope…

was not moving.

Nobody was touching it.

Second time,

GONG.

Louder.

Violent.

Bola screamed.

“Let’s go!”

They ran.

No more forming.

No more investigation.

Just pure fear.

They didn’t stop until they reached the main gate.

Breathing hard.

Heart racing.

Nobody spoke for a while.

Then Femi said quietly…

“I thought you said somebody was doing it.”

Nobody answered him.

Because now

it didn’t feel like “somebody” anymore.

That night,

nobody from that group slept well.

Because one thing became clear:

The bell was not something you could touch…
and it was not something you could stop.

And worse,

It knew them.

The next morning…

before assembly even started,

another message dropped.

Not to everybody.

Just to five people.

The ones that entered the bell tower.

And it said—

“Now… we start with you.”

🎬 EPISODE 2: HER SECRET WAS EXPOSED.....
AND NOW NO ONE IS SAFE.

The first time it happened… people said it was coincidence.

The second time?

Nobody argued again.

Because this time…
the person it chose was not quiet.

And when her secret came out…

people stopped laughing completely.

That day, closing time felt different.

Nobody said it out loud…
but everybody was watching the clock.

Because deep down…

nobody wanted to hear that bell again.

Final bell rang.

Normal.

But nobody rushed this time.

People moved slowly… watching… waiting.

Five minutes later,

GONG.

Silence.

No jokes.

No confusion.

Everybody heard it.

Second time

GONG.

That was it.

Students started running like something was chasing them.

But Amaka didn’t move.

She stood there, arms folded.

“See ehn… nothing dey happen. Una just dey overreact.”

She even laughed.

That night,

Around 9:17 PM,

A message dropped.

Unknown number.

Sent to multiple students.

A voice note.

One minute.

Nobody wanted to press play.

But curiosity won.

Click.

Amaka’s voice.

But not the one people knew.

This one was… scared.

“Please… I didn’t mean it like that…”

“We were just joking…”

“I didn’t know she would take it seriously…”

The voice note cut.

At first, people didn’t understand.

“Take what seriously?”

“What is she talking about?”

Then the screenshots started coming in.

Old chats.

Group conversations.

Deleted messages… somehow recovered.

And slowly…

the full story came out.

There was a girl.

Not very popular.

Always quiet.

The type people overlook easily.

Amaka and her friends created a fake account.

Started messaging the girl.

Pretending to be someone who liked her.

Complimenting her.

Giving her attention.

Making her feel special.

At first, it was “just cruise.”

Something to laugh about in their group chat.

But the girl took it seriously.

She opened up.

Started sharing personal things.

Trusted the person behind that account.

Then one day,

Amaka posted everything.

The chats.

The voice notes.

Even the girl’s private confessions.

Publicly.

The whole class laughed.

Memes were made.

People mocked her.

And the girl?

She stopped coming to school.

At that time, nobody really cared.

Not even Amaka.

Because to her…

it was just content.

But now…

The truth had come out again.

This time, louder.

This time, uglier.

And the worst part?

More information dropped.

The girl didn’t just leave school.

She was transferred.

Because she couldn’t handle the humiliation.

Some people said she tried to harm herself.

Some said it wasn’t that serious.

Nobody knew the full truth.

But one thing was clear:

Amaka didn’t just “joke.”

She broke someone.

By morning,

Nobody was laughing.

Even the people that found it funny that time…

were now quiet.

Amaka came to school…

but the atmosphere had changed.

People were looking at her differently.

Not admiration.

Not fear.

Just… disgust.

Before break time,

Confrontation.

Voices raised.

Tears.

Denial.

“I didn’t know it would get that bad!”

“It was not only me!”

“You people were there too!”

But this time…

Nobody stood with her.

She left school early.

And for the rest of that week…

nobody saw Amaka again.

Now the fear became real.

Two students.

Two secrets.

Both ugly.

Both exposed after the bell rang twice.

And suddenly…

everybody started thinking.

“What have I done… that I prayed nobody finds out?”

Because it was no longer funny.

It was no longer gist.

It was hunting people.

That night…

for the first time,

some students didn’t sleep.

Not because they heard the bell.

But because…

their own secrets were no longer safe.

“THE LAST BELL RINGS TWICE"
🎬 EPISODE 1: THE DAY IT STARTED

You know that bell they ring when school is over?

Now imagine…
you’re already on your way home…
then suddenly,

it rings again.

Not once.

Twice.

And by the next morning…
someone’s life is ruined.

----------------------------------

It was a normal day.
Nothing special.

Students were already packing their bags before the closing bell even rang because let’s be honest, nobody is waiting for “Have a nice day” from any teacher.

The final bell rang.

Everybody stood up like prisoners that just heard “you’re free.”

Chairs dragged. Noise everywhere.
People rushing out like the school might explode.

Within minutes… the compound was almost empty.

Almost.

A few students stayed back.

Detention. Punishment. Or… those ones that just like forming “after school discussions” that are not really discussions.

You understand.

Then everywhere went quiet.

Too quiet.

Even the security man had locked the main gate halfway.

That was when it happened.

GONG.

The bell rang.

Not loud like normal.

This one sounded… deeper.

Heavier.

Like it wasn’t calling people.

It was warning them.

The few students still around paused.

“Wait… didn’t they already ring the bell?”

One girl laughed.

“Maybe they forgot something. These people are not serious.”

They tried to ignore it.

Then

GONG.

Second time.

Now nobody was laughing again.

Because this time…

Everyone heard it clearly.

And the strange part?

Nobody was near the bell.

That night, nothing happened.

No ghost.
No scream.
No missing person.

So everybody moved on.

Because that’s what humans do best.

Ignore strange things… until it becomes their problem.

The next morning

School was not normal.

You know that kind of tension you feel when something has already happened… but nobody is saying it yet?

That was the atmosphere.

Students were whispering.

Phones were passing from hand to hand.

People gathering in small groups.

Then the news finally broke.

Chinedu.

Quiet boy. Doesn’t talk too much.

Apparently…

his secret came out.

Not small secret o.

Not “I like someone” kind of secret.

No.

Something bigger.

Something that made even teachers uncomfortable.

By break time, everybody knew.

By closing time, his name was finished in that school.

But here is the real problem…

Chinedu himself kept saying something.

“I didn’t tell anybody…”

“I swear… I never told anybody…”

At first, people thought he was just panicking.

Trying to save face.

But then he said something that made people pause.

He said,

“It happened after the bell rang.”

That was when people started remembering.

That strange bell.

After school.

Twice.

At first, it sounded like coincidence.

Just one unlucky person.

Nothing serious.

Right?

Until that evening came again.

Because as students were rushing out that day…

Some people didn’t even wait to reach the gate.

They were already running.

As if they knew…

What was about to happen.

Back then in the university...

On one faithful day like this...this boy in my class decided to finally take school serious… na that same day school decided to show him shege.

Because tell me why this guy entered class with full motivation… fresh notebook… new pen that still has that“I’m about to change my life” energy and to crown it all "a brand new spectacle" that showed premium IQ😎

Even his walking sef get purpose.

We were even looking at him like, “ah… this one don repent.”

Only for our lecturer to walk in and write one big topic on the board:
“Continuous Assessment Test — Unannounced”

Ah.

I just turned and looked at him.

Because na him I wan check on.

That confidence wey he carry enter class… I watched it leave his body immediately.

He still tried to compose himself sha.
Like, “no problem… na small test.”

After all, according to him… he read.
Sometimes.

First question dropped:

“Explain, IN DETAILS, the relationship between theory and practice in real-life application.”

I didn’t even look at my own paper first.

Na him I dey watch.

He blinked.

Comot spectacle.
Looked at the question again.

Blinked again.

I could literally see the confusion forming.

Because you could tell he was asking himself: “Which life exactly??”

Second question:
“Discuss EXTENSIVELY…”
Omo, I saw when his shoulder dropped.

That “extensively” alone added 20kg to his brain.
It humbled him spiritually.

At this point, his pen was just in his hand for decoration.
Ink dey.

Ideas no dey.

He looked up… as if answer go fall from ceiling.

Nothing.

He now turned small… checked his neighbor.

Wrong move.

Because the guy beside him was writing like say him and lecturer set the question together yesterday night.

I even saw him adjust his chair… you know that kind strategic shifting.

Academic positioning.

Still nothing.

At this point, I knew it was over.
Because his face changed.

That was when I think his brain started reminding him of his sins:

“Remember when you said you’ll start reading from week one?”

“Remember timetable wey you draw?”

“Remember group chat wey you mute?”

Omo 😭

I just faced my own work because secondhand embarrassment wan wound me.

Later, I saw him start writing.

Not because he knew the answer…

But because the spirit of “write something” entered him.

Whether na answer or emotional apology letter… nobody knows.
Only God and the lecturer.

Time up, it's 30 mins already "said the lecturer"

Guys...He walked towards the Lecturer and submitted with boldness.
That kind boldness wey no get backup.

As we stepped out of class, one girl asked him: “How was the test?”

He paused.

Smiled like someone wey don see things.
Then said: “It was very… reflective.”

I almost shouted.
Because I understood.

That test made him reflect on his entire academic journey.

Clap for him jare 👏🏽

Because one thing I learned that day…

"School no be scam"

But confidence without reading?
Omo… na deluxe package scam 😭

So let me ask you, have you encountered such a person as a course mate or.....are you the course mate.
