“What is she doing here?!” shouted Diana.
“D! Calm down!” said Admire.
“She killed our mother and brother. I want her out or I will go. Uncle Raphael.”
“Diana, please. Hear what I have to say then I will leave,” begged Sarah.
“Nothing you would say will bring back my mother. What did she do to you? You deserve to be locked away with your husband and daughter. Get out of here!” shouted Diana.
She felt a sudden pain in her stomach.
“You need to calm down or you will miscarry,” advised Raphael. “Let her talk and then after we can kick her out.”
“I can’t stand seeing her face’” said Diana.
“Calm down my lady,” said Ray patting her back.
He poured her a glass of water and they all sat down paying their attention on Sarah. She was feeling nervous unable to look Diana in the eye.
“Are you gonna talk or what!” snapped Diana.
Sarah got up from the sofa and knelt down on the floor.
“Firstly of all I would like to say that I am sorry for what I did. I got hurt when I saw you with my husband. He chose you over me and that hurt me a lot.”
“Did you really think I was going to date him? He was like a father to me. You should had been the one protecting me but you were against me. Even lied to the police that I sed-ced him. Really?” said Diana with confidence. “Crocodile tears,” she blurted
Sarah sniffed and continued.
“I just felt a hateful grudge towards you. I thought I could get away from what I did but I lied to myself. I couldn’t sleep as I kept seeing your mother in my dreams. I am sorry Diana for all the hurt I have caused you and I really regret the things I have done,” she went on. “I have lost my daughter all because I had never been a good mother to her. Teach her all about life and respect. She slapped me today and I was hurt. I feel so bad right now, cause I tored your world apart when I took your mother away from you. I wish I could turn back the time,” she paused and wiped away the tears. “These tears that run down my cheek are filled with sadness and hurt. I know sorry is not enough for what I did but please. I beg you help me with my daughter. I will turn myself in to the police. I beg you,” begged Sarah.
Dian couldn’t stop the tears from falling. There was silence in the room as if though someone had died.
“Forgiveness is for those who are strong enough and smart enough to move on. After all, the best revenge is to be unlike the person who hurt you. The best revenge is living well in a way that creates peace in your heart,” he went on. “As they say, forgiveness is the key to a peaceful heart and home. Diana I know it is very hærd right now. The wounds have been opened but still time to heal them. I am not saying you should forgive her because I know what you have been through but look at her,” said Raphael and Diana looked at Sarah. “She is kneeling down in front of you. She now regrets what she did way back. Follow your heart.”
The words touched Diana. Yes, Sarah killed her mother but who was she to judge? She had a good heart and it hurt that her mother was no longer with them. If she was alive she would have said the same thing that Raphael said. Sarah needed help and she was desperate. Diana walked up to her and helped her get up.
“I forgive you!” she said wiping her tears. “Though I am still hurt about what you did to my mum. It will take time for me to forget about it because I loved my mother very much.”
“Thank you very much. Right now I have to go back home. I will come back tomorrow. I have to tell you that my daughter knows that you pregnant. She has changed Diana. She is now taking drugs and drinking,” said Sarah in between sobs.
“We will help her Auntie,” said Miriam.
“Thank you very much all of you. I have to get going now,” said Sarah.
She walked out of the house.
“She is not bad after all. She made me drop a tear. Poor woman. Life can be so hærd sometimes,” said Admire. “What!” he said when everybody was staring at him.
They all laughed and had dinner later.

Sarah opened the gate her heart pounding really fast. She felt ease now that Diana had forgiven her. Soon Amy will be taken to a rehab. She opened the door slowly. Walked in the house.
“Where have you been Sarah?” asked Amy making Sarah jump to her feet.
“I was I was I I…,” stammered Sarah.
“You were you were,” she got up. “Daddy went out with his friends. It’s just me and you. Funny I thought you were at grandma’s house but she called me saying you didn’t come in today,” she poured herself glass off champagne and took it all down. “D–n! It’s bitter. So tell me what have you been up to mum. Are you cheating on my daddy?”
“No!”
Amy took the gun out of her pocket.
“I bought the weapon. I am going to shoot Diana today. I am going mummy,” she said walking to the door.
Sarah quickly grabbed her hand.
“Don’t do this please. I beg you.”
“Get out of my way,” said Amy pushing her mother aside.
She fell on the floor and quickly got up. They started fighting and suddenly the gun went off.
“Mum!”

“Mummy! Wake up!” shouted Amy. “I am sorry I didn’t mean to shoot you. I was angry mummy but now I am not. You know mummy Diana made me this way. Can you hear me mummy?” said Amy shaking her mother.
She was high after taking the cocaine. She had no idea what she had done.
“I need to call daddy,” she said pacing up and down the room.
She sat on the sofa. She got up and walked to the door. She went back where the dead body was. She stared at her mother and started laughing. Tears streaming down on her cheeks. She took the gun and put it in her pockets.
“You deserved it Sarah. I told you to stay away from me. The bullet was meant for Diana,” she said lighting up a cigar.
She sat on the floor beside her mother and puffed up smoke.
“It feels so great that I killed you. I wanted to feel it. The feeling of being a muderer,” she glared at the body.
Suddenly the Mayor saw the body of his wife in pool of blood. He froze in place and felt terror. He felt paralysed and couldn’t move.
“Daddy. You are here. I am sorry I killed your wife,” said pinching her mother. “She was making a lot of noise and I kept her quiet. It feels great dad,” she said in tears.
“Wh wha wha. You..you..you..ki..ki..killed your…your…mo…mother,” stammered the mayor.
“I did daddy. I will go in the garage to take the plastic so that we can wrap the body. They don’t need to know that I killed her. I am coming daddy,” she said and walked out of the house.
His heart was pounding really fast. Even though they didn’t get along very well with his wife. He loved her very much. After getting some counseling from one of his friend he wanted to make it right with his wife.
“You know Paul. Life is too short but God always give us second chances. You can be a good man again. Ask for forgiveness from God before it’s too late. About your daughter take her to a rehab centre she will be fine,” said his friend early that night.
He started an-lysising the situation the slower but more thoughful path caused him to feel afraid. He quickly grabbed his phone on the table and dialled the number at the police station.
“Hello!” responded the man on the other line.
“Yes yes it’s the ex mayor. I want to report a crime scene. My da…” he was cut short when a bullet went through his chest making him drop the phone on the floor.
She quickly took the phone and threw it on the wall in a loud scre-m.
“A a a a,” said the mayor in pain.
“Wrong move daddy,” she said shooting him on the head. “Idiots! You both go to hell!” she shouted.
She grabbed the car keys and ran out of the house. She drove the car to the old ware house.
“Diana!” she shouted.

Diana woke up with a fright.
“Hey hey. Were you having a nightmare?” asked Ray as he lay beside her.
“Something has happened I can feel it. Something is wrong babe,” she said shaking.
“Shhhh nothing has happened. The bodyguards are outside. Let’s go back to sleep.”
“You go back to sleep. I need a glass of water,” she said getting off the bed.
She headed to the kitchen. She poured her self a glass of water. She was about to drink the water when the water glass slipped from her hand and dropped on the floor, breaking into pieces. This waked Ray up. He quickly ran to the kitchen and saw Diana picking up the glasses.
“What happened? Are you alright?” he asked with a worried look on his face.
“I don’t know I just felt weak. Something is wrong babe. I remember feeling way before my mum died. It’s probably nothing. Let me go to sleep,” she said heading to their room.
Ray became worried. He spent the wh0le night looking at her. Finally she slept after making her a cup of coffee.
Early in the morning Ray was watching news when Diana walked in the room. He looked at her with a sad look on his face.
“What is it?”
He switched off the television and took her hand. They sat down.
“Amy killed her parents last night. They are looking for her,” said Ray.
“No no that can’t be. I told you something was wrong. We should have let her stay Ray. Sarah, even though I hadn’t forgiven her with all my heart. The last thing I wanted was for her to die,” said Diana.
“Don’t blame yourself. My dad needs to see me. I am going over. I need you to come with me. Amy is out there and she is after you.”
“Noo! The body guards are here. She won’t do anything to me. And I am not feeling well, morning sickness.”
“I see Selena is already making her mummy sick. My little Selena. Take care of mummy. I will be back,” he said his hand on her tummy. “I will be back soon.”
He got out of the house. Diana got up and headed to the bathroom. She came out of the bathroom after minutes wrapped in a towel. She opened the bedroom door and saw her sitting on the bed.
“You took long. I would have just killed you in the bathroom.”
“What are you doing here? How did you get in,side?”
“You call those fools, body guards. Look outside,” said Amy.
Diana looked outside the window. All the bodyguards had been shot including the one who was in,side the house.
