chapter 11-revenge

We went to the hospital and mom was still not doing great but the police had already arrested Steve for questioning.He denied the allegations .people from the community had already started spreading the so called gossip.after a few days they discharged my mother but still she was very quiet.we managed to do my sister's funeral,it's was small and quick since we did not want people coming in and starting drama.

We went to court with the hope of winning the case and have Steve arrested for the sexual assaults but he was not.some say he paid them off.we were really disappointed about the outcome especially since those weeks were the hardest for us.The entire community had turned on us,calling us names and threatening us.They believed Steve rather than us.

After losing the case,we were more in danger and that made fathers family to finally chase us out since they felt like we are putting them in danger.The community had promised that they would burn us a life after the case had been completed.They did not care about the outcome if Steve was guilty or not.

So we ran away, searching for a safe place to stay.we ended up finding a room to stay in and rent,it's was small but at that point anything was fine after all we had taken few of our things hence the room was not full.still our mother had not fully recovered,we had been in and out of hospitals until she passed away.

Now it was just me and my two sisters.we were very much confused and scarred but we still had each other.one thing our parents had taught us is 'no matter what we are going through as long as we still had each other,it's meant we still have another chance to fight back'.

We remembered those words and we prayed very hard.we knew that if we had God intervention in to our life's we would make it through.The following day we woke up and made a plan about what to do and how to handle the situation .we were done with the crying,sobering.we were done with people looking down on us.

My eldest sister graduated and managed to get a job,my second sister finished high school and got scholarship in a well known university.I went back to sewing and finished my high school.i used my money which I had got from sewing to study law.After years of us pushing we finally managed to build our home,we made our own brand in memory of our late sister and I took Steve back to court.This time I was not gonna let him win,I got other victims and evidence,he sure did not see me coming.we won the case and Steve got a life sentence.we were happy ,God had finally answered our prayers
