Every Midnight the Food in My Pot Disappears… Until I Did This
<p>Episode 5</p><p><br/></p><p>I was relieved that the whole midnight mystery of my food disappearing was finally over. But the way my fiance was staring at the girl I caught, I couldn’t understand it.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Who is this girl?” he demanded angrily.</p><p><br/></p><p>“I’ve told you before—” I said softly.</p><p><br/></p><p>He gave a bitter laugh.</p><p>“This girl looks just like you. Don’t lie to me, she’s your daughter, isn’t she? You can’t deceive me.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“No, please, listen...” I tried to explain again.</p><p><br/></p><p>But he wouldn’t hear it.</p><p><br/></p><p>“If this marriage is going to work, you must send her back to wherever she came from. Don’t think I’ll accept this. You said she came from the ceiling? So funny, I knew it. You tricked me. This child is yours. I can’t marry a woman who already has a child and pretends otherwise.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Tears welled in my eyes. “Please…” I whispered.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Decide,” he said coldly. “If truly she isn’t yours, then prove it, send her away. But if you can’t, then forget this marriage. Forget me.”</p><p><br/></p><p>And with that, he walked out.</p><p><br/></p><p>I dropped into a chair, trembling, tears streaming down my face. My whole world felt like it was crumbling.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then, the little girl walked quietly to me. She touched my arm.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Please don’t cry for me,” she said softly. “I don’t want to come between you and your fiance. You’ve tried. You stood for me. Just go ahead and marry him. I know we’ll meet again someday. I love you ma.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Her words pierced my soul. I broke down completely, holding her tight as I wept like a child.</p><p><br/></p><p>Wiping my tears, I picked up my phone and dialed his number. When he answered, my voice was steady.</p><p><br/></p><p>“I’m calling to tell you this, I cannot abandon this girl. She’s part of me now. If all I achieve in life is to put a smile on her face and give her a future, so be it.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Oh really?” he sneered. “One day you’ll come crawling back to beg me.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“Never!” I replied firmly. “In fact, take your car and everything else. I don’t want anything to do with you.”</p><p><br/></p><p>I ended the call before he could reply.</p><p><br/></p><p>Later, he came to collect his car, and just like that, we cut ties.</p><p><br/></p><p>A few months passed.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then something beautiful happened. The little girl, the same one who once hid in the ceiling and was rejected by many, won the overall best student award in school. She was granted a scholarship.</p><p><br/></p><p>And on the very day I took her to receive that award… I met the man who is now my husband. A loving, understanding man. We grew close, and our bond became unshakable. He didn’t just accept me, he embraced the little girl as his own daughter.</p><p><br/></p><p>A few years passed.</p><p><br/></p><p>God blessed me with twins. The little girl who once hid in the ceiling became their big sister, our first child in every way. She thrived in school and made us proud. Because of her, doors of connection and contracts opened for us. She became our joy, our blessing.</p><p><br/></p><p>One day, I unexpectedly came across my ex-fiancé. His face had changed, burdened, broken. To my surprise, he knelt before me and said,</p><p>“Please… pray for me. I need a child.”</p><p><br/></p><p>I looked at him calmly and replied,</p><p>“God gives, and He takes. I am not God. And sincerely, I hold nothing against you.”</p><p><br/></p><p>I quietly walked away. Today, I live a happy life… and looking back, I have no regrets.</p><p><br/></p><p>The End</p><p><br/></p><p>Expect another story soon.....</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
