Sarah I want to see my grand kids. I didn't ask you to marry him so that you can act all tough and mighty

Mrs Desmond previously thought the marriage between Sarah and Mark was going to work at the end of the day, but they both keep talking about divorce

The moment Sarah gets the divorce she so wants, it is certain she won't be married again for a long time and her parents would not be able to match make her again

Mrs Desmond is trying everything in her power to make it work

If you want one so badly, go adopt. It will be your responsibility anyway, Sarah replied

How dare you!

Sarah isn't concerned about anything except getting a divorce from Mark and bringing nothing out of it

Mum, am not ready for an added problem. Am already in one with this marriage you put me. That boy called Mark is one hell of a crazy psycho. If I wasn't strong enough, I will be dead by now from his constant trouble.

"Do you know how much he hates me and tries to frustrate me?"

Mrs Desmond is practically loosing the argument with Sarah and it infuriate her

Mark doesn't hate you, he just don't know how to express himself. "Help him learn to understand you"

What are you talking about. Who is supposed to be having this conversation. Go to him and not me

Mr Desmond sat closely listening to the conversation between mother and daughter. He understands his daughter anger but he can't afford to offend his wife. Moreover, he couldn't pick a side.

But your mother is telling the truth. I understand he is a lot for you right now but teach him slowly, Mr Desmond spoke to Sarah as he tried to comfort her

I know you are old enough to know what you want but am sure your mother is sincerely looking out for you. Moreover it would be hard to find another man as a divorcee

Those words from Mr Desmond almost immediately melt Sarah heart, still she had made her decision already

I love you so much daddy but that crazy boy, am not interested. After one year I will be free from him if the marriage doesn't work out, that was the agreement

Do you not love him at all?

Mr Desmond looked deeply at Sarah. He knows sometimes we love someone but when we don't get it back we want to leave, but the love can still be see in the eyes

He doesn't make himself lovable. Sarah looked away from him, she also understands what her father was trying to do. She learnt most of her tactics from him

I can't believe he is older than me because he acts way immature

Don't talk about your husband like that. Mrs Desmond who had been silent for a while suddenly responded angrily

"He is not my husband!"

What has come over this girl, I thought you were not proud but you were just hiding your real self, Mrs Desmond shouted in anger

I am nobody baby factory, I will have my own child when I meet the right person. I will not be a forced on wife either.

Mark can kiss my ass for all I care, I am only there because of the two of you. Four more months and all of this nightmare will be over, I can have my life back

Sarah Desmond, have you chosen to kill me? You should know Mrs Desmond temper can be frightening

"You look too healthy to die" Sarah replied in between her teeth

Mrs Desmond started to cough heavily, Sarah tried to help her but she slapped her hand away. Get out of my house this minute she screamed.

Sarah had to walk away from her feeling dejected. Mr Desmond took Mrs Desmond inside and signaled Sarah to wait for him.

When he came back out, Sarah was ready to leave

I support whatever decision you make on this matter. For the remaining months, can you try to see if it would work out? Do this for me and I will accept any outcome

Sarah looked at Mr Desmond dejected, he always understands her. "I will try dad, don't be too sad" they both hugged and Sarah left the building
