Rachel's pov...
It had now been three weeks, since Jacob and I fought. He refused to enter my house or eat my food.
As if burenness wasn't enough,I had to suffer my husband's silent torture.
" Jacob,am sorry, I promise it will never happen again," I plead with him,as he was leaving for work.
He pushed me out of the way and left without altering a word.
What More did I have to go through for life to know that it was hating,I was at a point were I needed pity,I needed love,I needed care, but it seemed I was looking for it at wrong places....
" It's going to be ok,you know he can't stay upset with you forever,you are his favorite wife," Leah who was now standing besides me comforted.
" I never planned to hate .....," Before I could finish,she pulled me in an embrace," it going to be fine right?"
" Yes it will," she promised, patting my back.
********.....
Leah's pov...
" Elizabeth it's like a dream come true," I said shaking with laugher," you should see how cold he is acting towards her,"
" But you know,he is just upset with her and very soon he will forgive her," she just had to spoil my mood," she is still the love of his life,or have you forgotten?"
Elizabeth was just impossible,I didn't know what she wanted me to do,kill my sister? In as much as hated her, killing her was the last thing I thought of.
But somehow she was right, Rachel wasn't also seated watching Jacob treat her that way,she was doing all she could to win his love back.
" As long as I enjoy the present,the future is a mystery," I answered, throwing myself on the chair.
I heard her annoyed sigh,
"the reason why you didn't have Jacob to yourself,is because you are so shallow," she said, annoying me.
" Elizabeth," I protected.
" No Leah, don't Elizabeth me,you know what am saying is true, just because something is ok now, doesn't make it fine for you. Plan for an everlasting joy,then you will never cry again. Even the bible advises that,"
" So what do I have to do?'' I enquired, not trusting her smirk.

Rachel pov...
From bad to worse,is how Jacob become.
He started taking to me, but would scold me everytime.
This time it wasn't just about the herbs, but I guess something was behind his attitude.
" Abigail,why did you make my yard this dirty,and as if making it dirty wasn't enough,you couldn't clean it?" I shouted at the young girl who was standing in front of me.
" I wasn't playing alone," she defended narrowing her eyes at me.
" You are the eldest therefore you were suppose to guide the young ones," I pointed.
Before she could answer,Leah came out and surprisingly, Adi started crying.
" What did you do to her?" She asked grumpy.
" Nothing,I was just asking why She made my yard dirty and forgot to clean it," I explained glancing from the girl crying to her mother who barely understand what I explained.
" She is lying mother, she hit me," she trembled crocodile tears following down her cheeks.
" Abigail!" I gruffed.
" How dare you Rachel?" Leah asked angry.
Immediately Jacob came out, Leah explained to him what Abi had told her.
" Jacob,I promise I didn't do anything to her,I was.....," Before I could finish my sentence,he slapped me.
The hit was just hard to believe, holding my cheek,the only words I could alter was asking him why he slap me.
" So you even have the guts to answer back?" He asked and angry began hitting me.....
