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

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."

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
Sarah's POV.Life in prison was so hard, but I had to live for myself. I had high hopes that I will make it. I convinced myself that twenty years was not a long time at all and that in no time I will be a free woman. I will start my life all over again. I know I will make it.I spend most of my free hours in the prison just sleeping. I had not made friends yet in prison, that is why I preferred being alone. The only people I knew were my cellmates, but I was not close with them. They talked less with me each time I tried getting close to them. That is why I promised myself that I will be enjoying my own company.The prison premises were so boring. Starting from the food. It was the same meal almost every day. They only changed the menu on an important day. That day all the prisoners will eagerly wait for the meal, especially me. I really hated the food here. I ate it just to survive. It had no taste and it looked so dull. It was just pathetic.In this prison. When we wake up in the mor
Susan POV.“What is happening to me?, why I am I in so much pain. What happened?” I shout on the top of my lungs as soon as I regain consciousness. I find myself in a room, and it looked like a hospital. “How did I get here?” I ask myself. I just don't remember what had happened to me that made me come to a hospital. Everything was just blank.“Madam, just relax, please. Don't get up just yet. Your leg is not in good shape. Don't strain it.” The doctor say as he struggles to put me back to the bed. When I look at my leg, it was bandaged. I felt so much pain and I could not move it.“What happened to me, doctor?" I ask the doctor.“Don't you remember?, you were brought here last night. You were unconscious when you got here. You were involved in a car accident. Thank God nothing serious happened to you. You just fractured your leg.” He says, and I am shocked how come I got into an accident. I was so careful while driving. Actually, I don't remember what happened after I left the restau
