He pulled into the driveway, entering through the gate, I stepped out of the car when I saw my dad's Security men walking towards me, Derrick got down and held me steady .

"Welcome Miss Rita " Jacob my father's head of security greeted me calmly.

"Thank You" I said before walking to the front door with that help of Derrick.

I knocked on the door but there was no answer, so I walked in instead.

"Mom! " I shouted

I let go of Derrick's hand climbing the stairs when I saw my mom walking out, she wore her pair pajamas, her expression changed when she saw me and I ran into her arms. My mom hugged me tightly as we made our way to my room. I saw a tears flowing down my mother's eyes and broke me further, she quickly wiped it off and got up beside me.

"I'm going to get you a cup of coffee, I'll will be right back "she whispered.
My dad rushed into my room and hugged me.

"Stop " I said pulling away from him.

We both drifted into an awkward silence before we my dad finally broke the silent .

"I'm sorry I hurt you, doubted your capabilities, You're stronger than you know and am proud of you as my daughter, please forgive me "he said

I couldn't control the emotions flooding through me right now, my tears were flowing uncontrollably, I finally hugged him.

"I'm sorry Dad for disappointing  you,  our family "

He stopped me "No baby girl, You made me proud, I heard about Dynasty Gem Design and you did awesome "

For the first time I saw him letting his guard down . My mom returned with the cup of coffee for me .

Few minutes later, they returned their room,derrick came to see me in my room " Thank You for everything "

"Trust me I will do it over and over again for you, Try and get some sleep he told me.

Derrick took a deep breath before finally saying ' if he tries hurt you again, I'm  not letting him getting it away " he warned.

I nodded silently, he kissed me on forehead before leaving.

I looked around my room, I realized it was the same way I left it, I felt my head still hurting, I was dirty and I knew I had to take a shower, I quickly entered the bathroom and turned on the hot water, I stepped under the hot water and my body relaxed, I washed my myself and shampooed my hair, once I was through bathing, I dried myself and changed into my pajamas .

I lied down in my bed thinking about all that has happened, luckily Sebastian was alive and was rushed to hospital, I really hope he recovers soon, I already told Derrick that I don't want to press charges against him but he insisted that he was dangerous and needs to be locked up for sometime or rehabilitated for his own mental health, lost in my thoughts I drifted off in sleep.

Next morning, I heard a knock sounded on my door,I pull away the blanket and opened the door, opening the door quietly, I saw Gift standing outside my room,her face pale when she looked at my eyes , I wanted to shut my door but she quickly hold up the door "Wait !" I heard her said.

"can I help you? ' I said awkwardly.

"We need to talk please "

I exhaled angrily and turn around to sit on the bed .

She came inside the room and shut the door behind her.

A few silent moments later before she finally spoke "I know everything that happened to you was my fault, am sorry for everything ".

"It's fine, I forgive you after all we're sisters "I said hugging her.

"I still don't why you did what you did ?" .I asked her not removing my glance from her.

"I thought you were taking everything away from me so I got jealous "

"I could never take anything from you, Everything is Yours " I said.

"I know and I'm sorry, I was selfish and you nearly got killed because of that, I let Sebastian use me to hurt you " she confessed.

"It's okay !" I said.

She gave me a smile before leaving, I quickly changed and went down for breakfast.

I later got a call from Derrick informing me that Sebastian was awake and would be charged to court for attempted murder.

I hope he finds the peace he deserves someday because I have forgiven him for everything.
