               Zahaire's pov

It was weird that I've been calling Teon without him answering or returning my calls, I hope he was ok I thought worriedly as I put back my phone in my pocket. Hopefully he will see my text and reply because I have no other way of contacting him, I sighed and began taking up the large heavy stones from the riverbed again.

  "Ok, the truck is loaded. I'll go drop these off and come back," Ethan called out.

"Ok," Zavian yelled.

  I sat down to rest and took up my bottle of water taking a drink, still no call yet from the work agency and I was worried sick that Sharrie and Janay may not be able to pay all the bills. With a high stone wall and concrete houses and roofs, we'll be safer. The large iron gate will be kept locked at all times even when we all leave God's willing.

  My phone rang and I answered Teon excitedly. "Hello my friend, how are you?"

  "About to be divorced and homeless," he said sadly.

  "What?!" I ask him unsure if I'd heard right.

  "Someone videoed me coming out of a hotel with Diamond and send it to my wife, a friend of her's told her husband that it was Sharon and I truly believe it was her." He explained.

"Oh my Gosh, I can't believe. Is there any way to convince her otherwise?" I exclaimed then ask.

"None. My wife's attorney has went and gotten other footages from that hotel and another I took Diamond to, I'm ruined," he answered then told me.

  I sighed heavily and told him. "I'm so sorry about that Teon, wow!"

"A'right I'll catch you later my friend, I'm hanging in there," he said.

"Ok, hold tight and all the best," I told him.

"Oh geez," I murmured and got up as Ethan came back with the truck.



  Later that evening we ate hungrily, I was so tired as soon as I lay my head down I went deep into sleep and morning came too soon. Me and my brother work with Ethan and his brothers and cousins for two hours before we all got ready for our jobs, I was glad my work wasn't so pressing that day because I felt tired.

  I didn't work with the others that evening when I got home, I went through all the paper works my mother collected that day. Sometimes I had to call Ethan or a member of his family to confirm that all there information was accurate and after two weeks we went to the embassy on the dates we got.

By the time we all went I was convinced that we are an unlucky family, either that or someone was working in the government against us. Only my mother and little sister got there visas, my grandma cried non-stop in disbelief. I told my mom that I was happy she and my sister would be going, but I was sad that we all didn't get the chance to go also.

  My father was disappointed and said he will try again and that he will never stop trying. I smile at my mother on the day she and my sister was leaving, I'm glad she will finally be with my father after all the years they have been seperated. It was bittersweet and all I want was for us all to be happy, we all had our hopes up and now with nothing but to continue living and fighting to survive all I could do was pray that an opportunity would open somewhere for me.

  When Sharrie called that evening, I thought she was just calling me to find out how everything went with our mother, instead she was asking me make arrangements to pick her up from the airport. I was so shock that I sat down in the cement mixture by accident, I felt so weak Zavian had to pull me up and I went inside immediately to lie down.
