 So keep reading, commenting and rating my story. 


Now after the incidence with mom and the goats and everyone else being scared of the goats, we decided to start cutting the grasses  for them to eat in the house. 

Then I had this fight with father, 
  Father's prov.
Ada enough with you always finding fault in your stepmother all the time , She wasn't even around when the goat sure happened so accept that all of this were just your mistakes and no one else's. 

Ada's prov.
(Crying )Father can you hear yourself, my mistake abi! I found a snake in the house, I was blamed, my goat got lost for two weeks, I was also blamed and now when that same goat is killed I am also to blame all by you my own father! ?

You said small mother wasn't here when the issue of the  goat took place but she was when that of the snake took place, but instead of you too accepting that you married a witch for a wife , but no it was Ada's carelessness isn't it? 
Father's prov.
PA! PA! (Slaps).

Ada's prov.
(Laughing ) Father your slaps don't pain me anymore,  I have been beaten by life once too many for this small slap to pain me . 
  So father I just have one more thing to say to you which is, very soon, sooner than you think you will get your own share  of it all then those that you are protecting will be exposed. 


ONE MONTHLATER. 

It's been a month now since the last incidence , and I wasn't still in the right frame of mind to still have the goats taken out to feed,

For they have gotten used to been taken out to feed right from the fresh green grasses root and not the cut out ones.

So they have refused to feed on the cut out grasses and that really affected them for they became all skinny and also felling sick. 


Now I was scared, but was still hoping that soon they will get used to the idea of feeding on cut out grasses. But no, that wasn't the case here for it worsened with time

. I got so scared and decided to take them out again to graze their grasses themselves.

TWO WEEKS LATER. 
 
Two weeks after I resumed back in taking the cattles to graze by themselves, Father's business start going down, customers no longer patronize him as before and as he was still trying to solve that one, the very mad dog that had my goat killed beat him on his way from the farm one day.

I  felt sorry for him but at the same time happy  because now he will get to  know how  I  have felt for the past few weeks now and I was looking forward to seeing who he  was going to pin that on now.

After the bite his legs were swollen and that prevented him from his regular actives and one day mother asked me to take his food to him,
 
So I took that time to remind him what he says to me; father how can you na! I asked and he asked me back , how can I what! Oh sorry I meant to say how can you be this careless, I asked then he went quite .

Three days later I over heard them (father and mother ) speaking in low tone as if not wanting me or anyone else to hear them or what ever they were discussing, and  this was how their conversation went,

Mother's prov.
 Emma, I don't understand what is happening to this family again oooh ,  because now one can't even have a moment of peace again.

Father's prov. 
  Woman, you won't understand! but you can make me understand can't you! mother asked him, and  then he said everything I said I found out was all a lie, and what do you suppose to mean by that? Mother asked, okay the real truth is that Rose is behind it all,  what! Mother exclaimed! And now she want to come back and if that is not done in time worse things will happen.
