Andrew pov
Family and friends gathered at the st's cemetery ground for Nicole.

"She was a very elegant and nice lady,may her soul Rest In Peace "a lady said before throwing her bouquet of flowers on Nicole's grave.

"Amen"chorus voices were heard

" am sorry to say this but saying Rest In Peace will do the dead no good"ikhlas spoke from behind.she walked closer to the grave "instead we all should ask for forgiveness on her behalf,ask god to make grant her paradise,have mercy on her and overlook all her faults because saying Rest In Peace will do absolutely nothing to the dead"ikhlas spoke with confidence

"Thank you dear,child what's the name?"the pastor asked ikhlas

"Ikhlas is the name"

"Thank you,now let us pray for the dead"

Thirty minutes later
Andrew took his mother to her room to try to pacify her.

" mom! Crying won't bring Nicole back"

"Why did she do this,she died because of me! I am the reason of all these.i can never forgive my self at all"

"Mom it's okay,please try and control yourself,if Nicole was hers she would not be happy seeing you like this"

She wiped her face with a face wiper "when are you leaving the country?"

"Tomorrow by eight in the morning, a lot has happened here,I need to stay away from here for some months.. will be leaving with my step mom"

"Does she treat you well??"

MR Richardson pov

"Richie leave us for now"mr Richardson instructed Richie before giving him an eye signal

He sat beside her "darling!. I'm so sorry if I had said things that hurt you"

"I'm so sorry,Richard. I kept all these from you for too long"

"Shhh,it's okay "

"No,please. I'm sorry. Do forgive me. I'm the cause of our daughter death "

"It's okay.have a nap okay"he pecked her on the lips

He walked out of the room and suddenly heard screams as he closed the room door behind him.he pushed the door open "what is it ?" He stared at his frightened wife

"I saw her.nicole "she screamed
   Ten minutes later
"I'm afraid but her mental state is not stable,your wife might end up hurting herself. I had to give her a sleeping pill through an injection

"What is the way out?"

"I will prescribe some medications for her for now"

"Thank you"

"Don't mention,I will take my leave now"

Andrew and his dad walked in "what is the problem now?"Andrew asked "what is wrong with my mom?"

"Her mental state isn't that stable, she claims to have seen Nicole"

"Karma!"Andrew dad spoke "well what can I say, the wife of the man who she was cheating on me"he sat down on the couch "when she found out her husband was cheating on her with her sister. She lost her mind,the pain was too much for her to bare,she had an heart attack and almost gave up the ghost,"he spoke as tears rolled down his eyes

Mr Richardson patted him on his back "shit happens "

"I found her wandering on the streets,a car almost hit her. I took her to the hospital only to find out she has gone crazy,she claims to constantly be seeing her husband. Andrew,That woman is the one you call your step mom,she is your mother sister"

"What? "

"Yes son,I can't believe mother could do all these to her own sister"

"I call it jealousy,your mother always envied her sister"he laughed crazily "well,what your mother is going through is what she made her sister went through."

"Karma!" Mr Richardson spoke

A Knock was heard at the door. The door opened "hello everyone!"A blonde woman walked in

"Mom!"Andrew rushed to her and hugged her"you didn't inform me you were coming.would have picked you up from the airport"

"Not to worry darling,"she walked to mr Richardson "good evening"

"Evening "

"Darling"she pecked her husband on the fore head.she walked towards her sister and sat on the bed,"how is Ava doing now?"

"She hasn't woken up yet"Andrew replied
