"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 hard 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 screaming 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 inside 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 kissed her hand and held her tightly in his arms.
