-A few days later-Sarah heard a knock on the door and came out of the bedroom. “Who's there?” she asked, but heard no response, so she already knew it was Sandra.Sandra insisted Sarah should move in with her so she could monitor her. She promised to provide for her until delivery and forbade her from doing any chores- all she wanted was for Sarah to have an adequate rest.Sarah paced to the door and opened it with her lips filled with a beam. Immediately, she pulled the curtain and saw Sandra’s expression; her smile vanished. “What’s wrong?”Sandra ignored Sarah’s question and entered. She placed her bag on the table and fell her bottom onto the sofa. “I’m tired.” She uttered, relaxing her head on the headrest.Sarah watched Sandra for a few seconds and she closed the door. She pulled the curtain and walked to the sofa to sit. “What’s wrong?” She asked, her hand placed on Sandra’s shoulder with her concerned voice matching the worry on her face.“Why did you close early? Did anythin

“Oh, my goodness! I can’t believe it’s two years already!” Sarah screamed excitedly, glancing at the wedding photo in her hand with her lips filled with a beam.She kissed her husband in the photo and gently put it in the middle of the table. “You did this one, Sarah…” she whispered, clapping at the low-budget decoration she had just made with her annual savings.It was her and her husband, Charles’s second wedding anniversary, and because of their financial struggle, she wanted to celebrate it at their space. They canceled the first anniversary because her mother-in-law was admitted to the hospital, and Charles used the savings to settle the bills. She has been saving up since last year, so nothing would stop her.She looked around the small room and joggled her head. “Perfect!” She raised her voice. “This is perfect!”“Charles will love this!” She uttered. Her husband has been sullen lately, which she believed was because of their financial struggle, so she spent more than planned t

“Yes, Sarah. It’s still the same Rebecca. You’re the reason I gave up on her then and won’t repeat the same mistake. I’ll divorce you and make sure she becomes mine at all costs.” Charles declared.Sarah snickered and stormed to Charles’s front. “How could you do this to me, Charles?” She uttered and did the only thing that came to her mind at that moment- slapped him.Charles held his hurt cheek in his hand. “What are you doing?!” He asked with his eyeballs turning red because of the pain he was feeling in his cheek.“I slapped you, Charles, and I won’t hesitate to repeat it. It’s resetting your brain that is blocked by greed and you’re misbehaving,” she explained. She exhaled deeply and grabbed him by the collar. “Now Charles, look at me and repeat what you said earlier. Tell me it’s the same Rebecca.”Charles flung her hand away. He pushed her backward and looked directly into her eyes. “Yes, it’s her. Miller Rebecca.”Sarah scoffed weakly and ground her teeth. “You’re shameless!”

Sarah’s eyes gradually opened and the first thing she glimpsed made her eyes swing open. “Hun!” She exclaimed as she quickly lifted her head from the pillow.She looked around the room with a furrowed face, staring at the luxurious wardrobe and the bed she was sitting on.“How did I get here?”She tried to remember what happened last night and how she ended up here, but her brain stopped working when she heard the honk of the cars from last night again. “Fuck!” She whispered. She stretched her head to look at the door covered with the wardrobe angle. “Anyone here, please,”Her voice was low and no one would hear her, so she spoke louder. “Who’s there, please.”“I’m here!” A lady in a knee-length skirt and shirt rushed in. She stood before Sarah and bowed her head. “Good morning, ma. How’s your night?”“Good morning,” Sarah responded. “I don’t know what my night was like, just like I’ve no memory of how I got here,”She looked at the lady’s face and threw questions. “Who are you? And

“Why now, of all years?” Sarah said in her mind, staring at the test result in her hands, tears gradually flowing out of her eyes.She couldn't believe Harold and rushed out of his house, and since pregnancy tests were free, she stopped at the nearest hospital to confirm.Chloe handed Sarah the test result with a smile, and she expected Sarah to be excited, but seeing her mood, she showed concern. “What’s wrong?”Sarah wiped her eyes and shook her head. “Nothing. I’m fine.” She responded, forcing a smile.“You're an adult and should be happy about this? Aren't you married or a divorcee? Scared of being a single mother?” Chloe asked.Sarah forced a smile as she shook her head. “That’s not-” she wanted to talk, but Chloe cut her off.“Put your mind at rest. Delivery is free,” Chloe said, her pitiful tone matching her expression. “For the baby stuff, be punctual at the weekly ante-natal. I'll put in good words for you so others will contribute to you.” “You don’t-” Chloe had more to say

“Watch your step…” Sandra said, climbing the porch steps. She stood on the veranda and lengthened her hand, offering, “let me help you.”Sarah grabbed her hands and climbed up. “Thanks.” She uttered with a smile.Sandra wiped the sweat on Sarah’s forehead with her hands and smiled, looking into her eyes. “Remember all I told you. You’re a strong woman, so make sure you act like one, okay?”Sarah joggled her head. “Okay.”“You mustn’t cry. Do you know why?” Sandra forwarded a question.“Because they aren’t worth it,” Sarah repeated what Sandra sang in her ears on their way to the courthouse. “If anyone is to cry, it should be them. Because I, Sarah, deserve to be happy. Happiness is mine, and I will never trade it.”Sandra clapped her hands. “Perfect. I didn’t waste my saliva. I taught you right, I guess,” she let out, excited at the expression on Sarah’s face while she delivered those lines. She placed her hand on Sarah’s shoulder and stared into her eyes. “You’re ready, right?”Sarah

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock and even Sarah had a question in her mind, but she couldn’t pull it out.“Do you know what you’re saying, Harold? How’s that possible?! Do you know her? I bet you don’t know who she is!” Rebecca threw questions, her voice raised in surprise.“A lot has changed, so it’s hard to say whether or not I know who she is… but based on what I know, Sarah is a gem. A rare one that I may regret losing again. However, who she’s become doesn’t matter,” Harold talked with a calm tone. “But to make her mine, I don’t mind studying her as a course for whatever years it may take.”Charles moved forward, standing beside Rebecca. “What do you think you’re doing, man?” He challenged.“Defending who I want,” Harold gave a simple response. He knew Charles challenged him, but he kept his voice cool. He authoritatively raised his eyebrows and gave Charles a side look, throwing a question. “Is there a crime in that?”“Charles, I’m not here to fight you or anyone else. You aren’
