“I hate her daddy!” shouted Amy throwing water glass on the wall. “How can she take him away from me?”
“Calm down babe. Even if she is rich now. She is always poor because she was born poor,” said Sarah patting her daughter’s back.
“No, mummy. Ray is mine. He loves me not her. I am going to make her pay. Help me daddy,” she said staring at her father.
“Alright I will help you. Come here my princess. I won’t let that poor girl take my son-in law. She doesn’t deserve him,” said the Mayor.
After a week there had been headlines that the second son was dating the most beautiful girl in the country. Miss World they said. It was all over social media, newspapers, magazines and television. They tried keeping it a secret but it was too late. Everytime they were seen together people would ask to take pictures with them. At work people called Diana their quuen. They respected her more than before. With a good heart everyone adored Diana. Diana had to accept Ray’s propose of being his girlfriend. She did not care about Amy. She was willing to fight if it meant war. At weekends they used their time to visit the orphanage with Ray. And those places that had people with no shelter, food or blankets. They donated to those places. The President, himself liked how Diana handled things.
“If you become President one day. People will love you. You have a very good heart. An angel sent from heaven,” said the President when Diana had been invited to dinner.
Raphael was happy for her. He knew how much Diana had suffered in her life and she deserves to be happy. He and his wife supported her.
MONTHS passed and their love grew stronger. It was Diana’s birthday and everyone had been invited at the mansion. The body guards stood outside the gate searching every person that entered in,side the gate. Some were outside the house.
“Why is it there is so much security?” asked Amy
“I don’t know but we can go in,” said Sarah looking through the window as they parked their car.
“I want her dead today! Not tomorrow but today. Not breathing dead!” shouted Amy.
“Calm down, princess. We are here for you,” said the Mayor.
They got out of the car and headed to the mansion. They were let in,side.
“There she is. S–t!” said Amy and clicked her tongue
He was dressed in a dark as they walked hand in hand. Everyone clapped their hands seeing the best couple in the country. When he looked his gaze met hers her breath caught in her throat. It wasn’t that a man can be so s€×y. The cloth of his suit had been cut with precision, emphasising his broad shoulders and strong thighs to perfection. She swallowed hærd desperate to calm her racing heartbeat.
“Babe so many people,” she whispered.
“Welcome to my world,” he smiled. “You look beautiful,” he said his deep voice.
“Thank you!”
The wh0le meal was, each course was divine. Amy couldn’t get her off them. She hated her so much.
“Diana!”
Her attention swung back to Ray when she heard her name on his l-ips. He got up and took the mic.
“Excuse me!” he said and cleared his throat. “Ahhh so forgive me I am feeling nervous.”
The guest laughed.
“Yes really nervous. So hmm today is my lady’s birthday. I haven’t given her, her present. The lady you see, the one sitting beside my mum, your First lady is my lady. Ohhh I said that before,” he said sending laughter in the room. “Okay okay.”
He walked to where she sat and took her hand. She stood up.
“My lady for me. For the first time I set my eyes on you. I knew you were mine. I have never met someon like you before in my life,” he paused.
Amy clenched his fists and glared at Diana.
“I love you my lady. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
He knelt down. He reached for the box and opened it. He pulled out a glittering diamond ring.
“Will you marry me?”
“Yes!” her wh0le body quivered, but she couldn’t lower her gaze. “Yes, I will marry you,” she repeated with tears of joy.
As he slid it into her fingers get the lights made it sparkle, bringing it to life. He lifted her hand to his l-ips, his gaze holding hers captive and k-ssed her fingers. Applause erupted around them, making her jump. She had forgot that they were being watched neither had Ray. Even he looked taken aback. She laughed, unable to help herself and the tension of the moment slipped away as the other guests returned their attention to their meals. Everyone congratulated them. Diana could not stop smiling.
The President made a speech.
“Let’s go,” he said.
“Where?” she asked.
“Another surprise!”
They sneaked out of the house and got in the car. He drove off to his house. As he got out of the car. He opened the car door for her. They got in,side the house. The house was set well with candles and roses spread on the couch. He played John Legend–All of me.
“Shall we?”
“Yes!”
They started dancing. She looked up as him, then couldn’t help herself as she reached up and k-ssed his l-ips.
While they were busy making out, Amy was watching everything by the window. 
CHAPTER 19

The next morning Ray planned to work, but all he wanted was to be with Diana. It was as if magic had been in the air last night on the couch and had weaved around them, bringing them closer in a way he had never been with a woman before. Was it because he felt for her deep? He went to his study. He tortured himself when he heard her in the pool, but it was more than desire that raced around his blood.
Finally as the sun was setting, he could stand it no longer and went in search of the woman who would tomorrow be his wife. She was curled on the sofa her phone in her hand. She looked up at him as he stood in front of her.
“Hey, I can’t get Rose on the phone,” her words were very rushed.
“Ohh she will pick up.”
“I wanted to prepare breakfast but they are no eggs. I was hoping you would go and buy some,” said Diana.
She knew she was in danger of falling in love with him. She stood up from the chair. She looked up at him.
“I am worried about Amy. What if she comes after me?”
“Don’t say anymore,” he whispered, putting his fingers on his l-ips.
He didn’t want her to stress out. Before she knew it she was in his arms, her body pressed close to his. Fire tore through her as she k-ssed him, giving way to all the new enotions she had been battling with. She wanted him with a fierceness that shocked her. He deepened the k-ss, his arms pressing her close against him, leaving her in no doubt that she needed to stop things now. She pulled back from him,
“I think you should go and buy the eggs,” she said with a smile.
“Okay my lady. I will be back.”
He grabbed his car keys, k-ssed her on the cheek before walking out of the house. He got in,side his car and drove off.
Diana finally managed to get through Rose. She was on leave and had to spend the day with Ray. She woke up not feeling well in the morning. She kept running up and down to the toilet. She was just coming from the bathroom when she realised that the door to the sitting room was opened.
“Babe! How can you leave the door open? That was fast,” she said walking down the stairs. “You already bac..” she stopped at midsentence.
Her heart started pounding at an increase rate. How did she get in,side the house? She stared at her unable to utter a word or move.
“D or should I call you Madam President. Come sit next to me,” she said. “Don’t be afraid I won’t bite.”
“What do you want Amy? How did you get in,side?”
“You still asking me that. How pathetic! Remember we share the same man.”
“Ray does not love you Amy. He is in love with me. Move on with your life and for once stop with this obsession.”
“No no Ray loves me. He must have asked you to marry him but he is mine. He is mine Diana!” she shouted angril stepping close to her.
“He is not Amy. I suggest you get out of this house before I call the cops on you,” threatened Diana.
“By the time they get here you will be dead.”
Diana was about to grab her phone when Amy took it.
“Don’t even think about it!”
She pushed her against the wall and the knife on her throat.
“I will kill you Diana. I swear I will!” she shouted
She dropped the knife on the floor and started strangling her. Diana managed to fight back. She kicked her on the stomach. Amy was about to grab her hand when Diana pulled her hair.
“My hair!” shouted Amy.
She was about to go after Diana. Diana immediately took the knife which was on the floor.
“Get out of here. I swear to God. I will kill you Amy,” said Diana pointing the knife at her.
“You think you brave. Huh! You think you know how to use a knife?” said Amy getting close to her.
Diana slight her on the arm. Amy let out a scre-m.
“You trying to kill me Diana?” shouted Amy.
“Get out of here! You think me growing up being poor. I don’t know how to deal with people like you. I am not afraid of you. Bring your wh0le family. I don’t care I have had enough of you and your family. If it is war let me tell you something,” she faced her, so close with her. “Bring it on! This time I am ready for you OR My name isn’t DIANA SAKALA.”
She smiled at her.
This scared Amy and pissed her off. She thought Diana was scared of her. How did she gets the braveness in her, She thought still staring at her Diana showed her other side she didn’t know. Amy felt she had already lost the game. She didn’t say anything but got out of the house. Diana quickly shut the door when she was outside. She took a deep breath. She heard a knock at the door and it made her jump on her feet. It was Ray. She quickly opened the door and hugged him. She held him tightly.
“What is it my lady?” asked Ray concerned.
She felt shortness of breath and dizzy. She touched her head.
“Amy was here. She She……”
Everything seemed blur and darker and darker. She collapsed in Ray’s arms. Ray tried shaking her but she didn’t respond. He quickly carried her to his car. He put her at the back seat.
“Hang in there my love,” he said and started the car
He drove off the car at the hospital. At a high speed feeling very nervous.
