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!” screamed 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 inside 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
