My name is Casie, a daughter to a famous business man in Cape City, the Late Mr.Gabera and his wife Mrs.Aleena.
I was twelve years old when my dad was murdered by the wife of his business partner Mr. John and his wife's name was Mrs.Magie. That woman planned my dad's murder in a way that looked like suicide to whoever saw where my dad's body was found.
Though the attack went on as planned by the murderer, the killer left his knife at the scene.
Three months later, the police found the killer with the help of the fingerprints on that knife.
The killer was found to be a popular thug in the city. That thug was popularly known for his capability to do anything evil as long as he's given money.
Mom couldn't stop at arresting the murderer, she wanted to know the reason behind my dad's murder. She believed someone else planned this for a big reason.
She promised to give the thug huge amount of money and on top of that she promised to bail him out of jail if he tells her about that someone who paid him to kill my dad.
A secret can't remain one when it's known by more than one person."If you have your secret, keep it to yourself for its privacy."
The thug revealed that it was Mrs.Magie who paid him to kill my dad. The thug also promised to testify in court against Mrs.Magie.

But two weeks after my dad's death, Mrs.Magie had announced her husband as the only owner of the Gabera Company Limited (GCL).
Mrs.Magie was well-off. She was a news reporter who was very popular in the city too. She had more than enough money that she even managed to bribe the judge.
My mom used her personal savings and it all went for nothing. Even her lawyer was bribed by that evil woman.
In the process, my mom lost the case and so Mr.John became the only owner of the company.
One week later, they changed the company's name from Gabera Company Limited (GCL) to J.Magie Company Limited which showed that my mom lost for good.
We then shifted to another city, Madi city that was so far away from Cape city.
My mom suffered from depression for like six months after my dad's murder.
She was serious depressed. I was the one who took care of her when she was in that condition. Her mother who had come for my dad's burial decided to stay when she saw her daughter losing her mind after the death of her husband.
My grandma wasn't that strong but she could try her best to take care of her depressed daughter.
One year later, things started becoming complicated for our family as we started having a taste on poverty since all the money we had was used to take care of my mom and her savings were wasted in the case that we even lost.
We tried hard to forget that we once owned the famous and prestigious company in Cape City. We patched up and started living a normal life of a happy middle class family with my mom and grandma.
Life became beautiful for us after I started earning money for my small family when I turned 20 years after my graduation.
