Sarah's POV.What a humiliation. I cannot believe Felix has made a mockery out of myself today. I cry my eyes out as I watch Stephen walk out on me. I know he was totally heartbroken after hearing my awful truth from Felix.I turn my eyes around and the whole congregation was staring at me with disbelief in their eyes. I mean, I have ruined the birthday party. My eyes land on Ella. She was looking at me with so much hatred in her eyes. I know she hates me so much. Because of me, her family got ruined. It was really a bad idea coming here. I wish I had followed my instincts and just remained in the house. I should have just let Stephen come to the party all by himself. But I guess it is too late now. The damage is already done, and I must look for a solution to fix all of this soon. I decide to follow Stephen outside the house. I can't allow him to think badly of me. I know that he doesn't trust me anymore. But I cannot afford to lose him. Especially now that I have some feelings f
Felix POV.With the confusion I caused at the party, I manage to take my daughter away from Ella. No one even noticed me taking Laura away. I know everyone must be looking for her right now.We were heading to my house right now. I had already parked my luggage and all I wanted was to collect it so we can head out of the country. I know the money that I had saved will be enough to start a new life with my daughter. I mean, that is what I want. A new life. “Daddy Felix, where are we going to.” Laura asks me as we are about to reach my house.“Don't worry baby. I have a gift for you inside my house. We are going to collect it. Do you want that, darling?” I ask her."Of course daddy, Felix. But we will have to go back. I know mummy will start looking for me. I haven't cut the cake yet. Everyone must be waiting for me.” She says.“Yes baby. We will go back immediately we collect the gift.” I say as I kiss her forehead.After reaching the house, I immediately looked if I had carried my pa
Sarah's POV.I just find myself at Felix's door. Luckily, I had managed to follow him after I saw him leave Ella's house with Laura. I knew he had a bad motive and that is why I decided to follow him. Before reaching his house, I saw a knife lying down beside the road and I decided to pick it up. I knew it will be like a weapon when Felix gets violent with me. I was so furious at him. Because of him, Stephen wanted nothing to do with me anymore. I swore to make Felix pay for everything he had done to me. After reaching his house, I knocked on the door, and immediately he opened the door, I stabbed him with the knife I was holding. The amount of rage I was feeling, I just wanted to kill him. I wasn't concerned with what will happen to me after that. All I wanted was revenge and nothing more. He had to pay for everything he did to me.* * * * * * * * * * * *“Daddy, wake up, please.” Laura cries as she falls on top of her unconscious father. Felix was just lying there in a pool of blo
Stephen POV.After hearing Sarah's confession about killing Felix, I realized I made a mistake marrying her. She was way worse than I imagined. I don't even know what I saw in her. Because of her, I left my beautiful family. I even divorced my beautiful wife and all was because of her. Now is the time I realize I made the worst mistake.After an hour. The police arrive and they take Sarah away. She doesn't resist, since she had already confessed to her crimes. Ella and I accompany the police and Sarah to Felix's house, and we find him lying flat on the floor in a pool of blood. He was already dead, and Sarah killed him in such an inhumane manner.He is later carried and is taken to the morgue. I take Ella home since she was devastated after seeing Felix dead body. He was in terrible shape and I don't think I will forget about it soon. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * “Dad, thank you for accompanying me. Actually, I don't know what I would have done without you. Sarah has killed Felix in
Sarah's POV.The police arrest me, and I am kept in a cell. I cry my eyes out when they bring me supper for me to eat. It was a mixture of beans and maize. I have never eaten the meal before, and I struggled eating it since I was so hungry.“You pretend so much, madam. Eat because you will not find any better food for you here. So you better eat fast. Next time I come here, I am going to take that plate from you. I am only giving you ten minutes” The police woman says in a harsh voice. I struggle to eat quickly. I cannot afford to sleep on an empty stomach. Being here is so boring, and I just hope that Stephen will come and bail me out. I know my crime was serious. And I had no other option but to kill Felix. At least he paid for what he did to me, and I do not feel sorry for what I did to him. He deserved it anyway.“Are you done already?” The police woman asks me. She came back immediately after exactly ten minutes.“Yes madam. I am done.” I say with my little voice.“Bring the p
Ella's POV.A few weeks have passed now after Sarah being sentenced. My dad was so, heartbroken. He loved Sarah so much, I know. I mean, that was the main reason he married her. He was now in so much guilt, and I know he regretted everything he did to my mother.I decided not to hate him. He was in so much pain and I still loved him very much. After all, he was still my dad and he meant the world to me. I called him everyday just to talk to him. All that he wanted now was to talk to my mother to ask her for forgiveness for everything he ever did to her. He even asked for my help, and I was going to help him get close to my mother. There was no need for them to continue staying apart from each other, and clearly they were meant to be together. After all, no relationship is smooth. There must be ups and downs. One thing worried me, though, and that was my daughter. She was still in shock after she witnessed her dad being killed in front of her eyes. Nowadays, she talked less, and she
Susan POV."I don't think I will be able to forgive him Ella. He has hurt me so much." I say to m dauhter. I know she is expecting me to forgive her dad but rhat is not an easy thing for me. I loved Stephen so much but he ended up dissapointing me. He hurt my feelings so much especially after finding out he had married anoher woman. Its like I was not enough for him. I know I was the one who made him walk away from our marriage. I mean, I was not satisfying him sexually but that was not an excuse for him to marry anoher lady."But mother, he regrets everyrhing he ever did to you and right now he wants to talk to you. He is in really bad shape now. And I am really worried for him." Ella says. "That is his problem and not mine Ella. He is not my husband anymore." I say to her.Talking to Stephen was the last thing I wanted. Just the thoufht of him irritated me so much. I hated him an I dont think I will ever love him."Mom, dont say that please." Ella says."Ella, please dont be
Ella's POV.I wake up, and I realize I had dozed up on the couch while waiting for my mother. It's obvious she was not yet back because her car was not outside. It was strange. Several hours had passed since she left home. I remember she promised to come back after a short while, but now she was taking forever to reach home.I take my phone and I dial her number, but it was not going through. It's like she had switched off her phone. I was really beginning to be worried about her. This was so unlike her. I decide to call my father. He needed to know that mom was not at home. I am glad when he answers almost immediately.Dad — Darling. Why are you calling at this time of the night?, is everything alright? Answer me darling.Me — Dad, mom is not at home. And I am really getting worried about her. Dad — what are you saying, Ella. That your mother is not at home?, have you tried calling her number?Me — yes dad, I have called several times already, but it goes straight to voice mail.Da
