Amanda, please talk to me, Annabelle said shaking her profusely,.
What's wrong with you,why are you pressing your stomach? Amanda couldn't speak,and she suddenly went stiffed in Annabelle's arms.
Annabelle couldn't believe what she just witness, meanwhile,"Anah came home from the market and called for Annabelle, quietly wondering whether her plans had gone the way she hoped," "she walked towards the kitchen with a pleased smile spread across her lips as she asked,"Annabelle I hope you have eaten your food.
Annabelle was in shock and couldn't respond, Anah turned and saw her beloved Amanda laying lifeless on the ground.Annabelle what have you done! Anah exclaimed with her hands on her head.
I.....,l....,Annabelle murmured under her breath.
I'm finished,I'm finished oooh,I have killed my own child!Anah screamed,"Her hands shook as she cradled her daughter's lifeless body.
Amanda why? Amanda why did you eat it! It was for Annabelle.the villagers gathered on hearing the screams,but it was already too late to save Amanda.
Joseph returned from work, dust clinging to his clothes and fatigue weighing on his shoulders, only to find the entire village gathered around his compound. Their hushed whispers and tense faces stole the breath from his chest. But nothing prepared him for what he heard—and what he saw—sending his heart crashing into pieces.
Anah,so this is how wicked you are, said on of the villagers,so you have the guts to poison your own daughter,"it was meant for Annabelle,Anah said, with tears streaming down her face.
Joe came to the painful realization slowly, like a truth he never wanted to face. The small signs he once ignored—her cold glances, the harsh tone she reserved only for his daughter, the way the child shrank whenever she entered the room—began to form a clear picture. And in that moment, Joe felt his chest tighten, realizing with a heavy heart that the woman he married harbored a deep hatred for his little girl.
Unable to bear the weight of the pain any longer, Joseph packed what little he had, held his daughter securely,and quietly left the village before dawn. Each step away felt like leaving behind a piece of his shattered past. He didn't look back—he couldn't. All he wanted was to start a new life somewhere far away, burying the haunting memories and giving his daughter the peace and love she deserved.
Meanwhile,Anah was forced to leave the village, labelled as a witch and treated like an outcast.
THE END....
