She paced up and down the room.
“I need a gun!” she shouted like a mad person.
“Calm down babe.”
“Don’t tell me to calm down Sarah. This is no time to calm down. I am losing him to her. I can’t let that happen,” she said shaking like a leaf. “I am feeling cold mummy.”
She took the cocaine out from her purse.
“I need to take this mummy. I will be fine,” she sniffed.
“Amy. Don’t do this to yourself. I beg you. These drugs will kill you,” begged Sarah.
Two months ago Amy got involved with the bad crew. She started drinking, coming home late and smoking. After to have failed her degree in Canada. She was jobless and only relied on her parents’s money. For the past days she had been coughing non stop. She had become addicted to drugs. Sarah took the cocaine from her.
“What are you doing Sarah?!” she shouted.
“This is not good for your health.”
“Give it back!” she yelled.
Sarah ignored her. She walked to the bathroom and flushed the cocaine. While Amy was following behind her.
“What have you done Sarah? You threw my baby!” she shouted getting close to her. “I will kill you Sarah!” she said loudly strangling her.
“Amy, stop. You hurting me!” she said her breath caught in her throat.
She let her go and slapped her mother hærd on the cheek.
“Don’t dare try me Sarah. I will kill you,” said Amy walking out of the toilet slamming the door in her face.
Sarah sat on the floor in the toilet her hand on her cheek tears streaming down on her cheeks. Never had her daughter talk back at her or slap her. She was shocked. Amy had changed and there was nothing she can do for her. She had failed her daughter.
Amy got into her car and drove at a high speed. She needed the drugs. She needed them as soon as possible. She was losing her mind. She parked her car at an old warehouse. A place where a lot of girls had been found dead of taking drugs, overdosing. She got out of the car and started walking like a drunkard person. She just opened the door and the man was busy making love to one of his girlfriend.
“You! Get out!” shouted Amy staring at the girl. “Now!”
The girl quickly grabbed her clothes. Amy pushed her outside and locked the door.
“Next time find some place nice to make love to your ugly chick. I need those stuff.”
“What! I gave you last night. You need to be careful with these stuff. They will kill you Amy. You beautiful and young. You still have time to change and go to a rehab,” said the man.
“Shut up! Give me what I want Luke. I also need a gun. I need to kill someone. She took my man.”
“I am sorry I can’t help you on that. I am not a killer but drug dealer,” he said.
“Here is your money,” she threw the money on the floor. “Give me my drugs.”
Luke didn’t have any choice but to give Amy the drugs which he did. Amy walked out of the room and got in her car. She sniffed.

Ray sat on the bench. His brother was taking long to come out of his office since he was the one taking care of Diana. He was scared that maybe his wife was dying. Raphael came out with a big smile on his face.
“Bro!” exclaimed Ray sitting up. “What took you so long? Can’t you see how worried I am right now. What is wrong with my wife-to be.”
“Congrats, bro. Nothing to worry about. You going to be a father,” said Raphael excitedly tapping Ray’s shoulders.
“Meaning?”
“She is pregnant!”
“What! Are you serious?”
“Yes. I did some blood test. She is pregnant.”
Ray started scre-ming and jumping making the people in the hospital pay attention to him.
“I am going to be a father!” he shouted.
The Mayor who had just visited the hospital heard it. He wanted to tell Amy as soon as possible.
“Can I see her?”
“Yes!”
“Thank you bro. I will buy you sweets,” he said running to the room where Diana lay.
He opened the door slowly and peeped.
“Are you crazy? Come in,” said Diana with a laugh. “What are you peeping at?”
“I wanted to make sure it was you in,side my lady,” he said.
He sat on the bed and held her hand. He put on a sad look on his face.
“What is wrong? What happened?” asked Diana with a worried look on her face.
“I am going to be a father!” he shouted excitedly.
Diana just laughed at him.
“I thought maybe something bad has happened. Silly man,” she pinched him
“Thank you Diana. I am a happy man right now. You know maybe we should name her Selena. If it’s a boy Ray,” he said.
“Relax. The baby is not born yet. We still have Amy to worry about. She threatened to kill me today. She is coming back I can feel it.”
“She is not going to hurt you. Starting from today we having bodyguards at my house. I received a phone call from Auntie Miriam earlier. Your brother is back from school.”
“Admire is back. I can’t wait to see him.”
“We will go over tonight. It had been long since we visited them. I want to take you home so that you can have some rest. I will stay by your side my lady,” said Ray.
He k-ssed her hand and held her tightly in his arms.
“The baby kicked!” he exclaimed.
“What! You insane!” said Diana laughingly.
CHAPTER 21

She stared at herself in the mirror. She couldn’t let her beat her up again. They were broke and soon will lose their mansion. The last thing she wanted was to lose her daughter.
“What do you mean she is pregnant?!” she heard her daughter shouting in the sitting room.
“That is what I heard. You should just forget about him. Look at you. You look miserable and now taking drugs. Your father I am dying. We are broke,” responded her husband.
She listened to them standing by the passage.
“I am not yet to give up daddy. You HIV positive because you were sleeping with many women. Does mummy know about your status?” asked Amy.
All the while they thought Sarah was out. Since she always spend most of her night at her mother’s
“I found out today and you were the first person I have told so far. I am not planning on telling her. Let’s keep it between us.”
“I will keep quiet if you only you help me get rid of Diana. Now I need to go and get some fresh air. I will come back then we talk. Being in this house makes me go crazy,” she said and walked out of the house.
After what she had heard. She needed to get out of the house as soon as possible.
“What should I do?” she whispered to herself still standing.
Her daughter had become dangerous and so is her husband. She waited for him to go to his study room like he always does. The Mayor walked to his study room as usual. A place where he felt at ease away from what was happening around him. Losing the campaign broke his heart. Now more than ever he felt useless. He used to have power but now he was powerless. After finding out about Raphael’s identity he knew he would not do anything to him. He sat on his chair after pouring himself a glass of warm water, since Amy had sold some of the furnitures in the house including the refrigerator. He was about to drink it when he heard sounds outside. He looked on the window and saw his wife running which surprised him.
“Where the hell is she going?” he asked himself
It was around 7pm
*
Miriam and Raphael were happy to see Ray and Diana at their house.
“It had been a while since we last saw each other,” said Miriam as she sat down beside Diana.
“So true I had missed you a lot. How is baby Keisha?”
“She is okay and very naughty. I heard you expecting. Congrats.”
“Thank you so much!” said Diana.
He walked in the sitting room. He looked different. A handsome man, almost looked like his mother. She stared at him in disbelief. It had been long since they last saw each other.
“Admire!” she exclaimed and immediately stood up
She held him tightly in her arms. Tears started falling down. She had missed him a lot. He reminded her of her mother.
“Sister Diana. You squeezing me. Be gentle please,” he said, funny as always. “I am not your lost lover.”
“You idiot!” she pinched him. “I missed you a lot more than you can ever imagine.”
“I am glad I didn’t miss you. Can we sit down. There is something very important I need to tell you,” said Admire with a serious look on his face
They sat down and he started.
“After so many years. I had been trying to protect a killer. Actually I was very scared that she was going to kill the only sister I had. Thou I didn’t love my sister which is false deep down. I wanted to protect her. Be the man my father never was,” he paused.
“What is it Admire? You scaring me!” said Diana holding Admire’s hand.
“That night when our house was burnt. Mum got me out first before Alex. As I lay down on the grass. A woman walked up to me. She wanted to strangle me but because the neighbours were already coming to our house. She couldnt,” he went on. “She threatened me saying that she was going to kill you if I let anyone know that she is the one who started the fire.”.
“What! So someone started the fire. I knew it. Who is she?”
Admired kept quiet for a while looked at her sister, tears already streaming down on her cheeks. He wiped away her tears and smiled.
“I love you sis a lot. You the best thing that ever happened to me. I always wished I could bring mum to you when you fell into depression. I wanted to protect you even though I was young. People called us poor and I wished I wasn’t. But from you I learnt something. Never mind what people say about you do your own thing. Knowing the person who killed our family hurt me a lot,” he wiped a tear that had escaped.
Everybody in the room got emotional staring at the two.
“It was Amy’s mother who sat that fire,” said Admire.
“No no no!” scre-med Diana. “But why her. Why did she do that?”
“Shhhhh don’t cry sis. It’s not good for the baby.”
Ray was about to get up when Raphael stopped him.
“Let them be!” he whispered.
Admired held her sister tightly in his arms as she cried. Suddenly they heard a bang on the door and it frightened them all. Ray slowly walked to the door and opened it. She immediately got in,side the house.
“What are you doing here? How did you find this place?” asked Ray.
“I need your help. Please help,” she begged on her knees
