"Oh daddy dearest please don't tell me you didn't my step mom I existed! All that love you guys have you didn't tell her about me?" Sabrina cackled looking between the two

"Sabrina Shut.Up" Daada said seething with rage

"Just tell me Abdallah is this true?" Maami's quiet voice spoke.Sabrina opens her mouth to talk but Maami raised her hand gesturing her to stop

"Yes" was Daada's firm reply

"Thank you for being honest, Sabrina pick a room" Maami said heading towards the stairs

She has been feeling lightheaded since the DNA results but didn't want to faint right there on the spot.She wanted to stay and hear what her husband had to say

Who else knew? Does Walida know? Is this what they have been hiding from her all these years?

As Maami's mind thought a wave of dizziness and nausea hit real hard and darkness was threatening to envelop her

"Hadiza wait I can explain–— " thud

"Hadiza!" "Maami!" The two both rushed to her side

Maami's world went dark as she slumped to the floor, the shock of Dadaa's revelation proving too much to bear

The next thing she knew, she was surrounded by the beeping of machines and the sterile smell of a hospital room. Dr. Smith, one of the world's best cardiologist, stood over her, explaining that she had suffered a severe heart attack, likely triggered by the intense emotional stress she had endured

"Your heart is weak" he said gently

"We need to take immediate action to prevent further damage." As the doctor outlined the treatment plan, Maami's mind wandered to her Dadaa's betrayal and the secret child, Sabrina. She felt a wave of anguish wash over her, and suddenly, everything went black again

Maami's eyes fluttered closed, and her body began to tremble. Her limbs started to shake and convulse, her torso jerking upward as if possessed by an unseen force. The heart monitor blared in alarm as her heart rate skyrocketed

"Seizure!" Dr. Smith shouted, rushing to her side. "Hold her down! Get me valium, now! And someone get her family out of here, now!"

The medical team swarmed around her, struggling to restrain her flailing body. "Please, you both need to leave the room," a nurse urged, ushering Dadaa and Sabrina toward the door.

As they stumbled out into the hallway, the sound of beeping machines, rushing footsteps, and urgent voices grew fainter. Finally, the door closed behind them, and they were left alone in the huge hallway.

Dadaa's face twisted in anguish he turned to Sabrina, his voice low and menacing "This is all your fault," he hissed, his eyes blazing with accusation. "If anything happens to her, you will regret being born. You've ruined my family, Sabrina. You've destroyed everything"

Sabrina shrank back, her eyes wide with fear and guilt, as her father's words cut deep into her soul. She had never meant for this to happen, never intended to cause Maami such pain. Tears streamed down her face as she whispered, "I'm sorry, Daddy. I didn't mean to hurt anyone"

But her Dadaa's expression only darkened, his anger and resentment towards her palpable"Sorry? Sorry isn't enough, Sabrina.You might have killed her so stop shedding those crocodile tears"

Sabrina's eyes blazed with anger and hurt as she watched her father fuss over Maami

"You're so worried about her, aren't you? You love her so much" She said smiling sadly

Dadaa's eyes darted to Sabrina, his expression softening

"Of course, I do. She's my wife" He replied

"And my mother? You didn't love her, did you? You didn't care about her at all" Sabrina's voice dripped with venom

"Sabrina, that's enough" Dadaa's face darkened, and he took a step closer to her

"No, it's not enough! You broke her spirit, and she died a little every day because of you. And now, you're showering all this love and attention on Maami? It's sickening" She snarled

Dadaa's face twisted in anger, and he raised his hand to silence her. "Shut up, Sabrina! You don't know what you're talking about"

"I know exactly what I'm talking about. You're a hypocrite. You didn't even know Maami's mother existed when you were married to my mother, but now you're acting like you've loved her forever" Sabrina's eyes flashed with tears and anger.

Sabrina's voice cracked with emotion as she continued, "And you know what's even worse? You took me away from my family, from my uncle and cousins, and shipped me off to Morocco like I was some kind of baggage. You disconnected me from my own life, from my own identity!!"

Her Dadaa's face paled, but Sabrina wouldn't stop. "You stopped being a father to me, you deserted me. You let me grow up alone, without any support or love. And now, you're trying to play the devoted husband with Maami? It's sickening" She glared at Daada who was trying his best not to loose his cool

Sabrina's words poured out like a torrent, years of pent-up emotions finally unleashed

"You have no idea what it's like to grow up without a father, without a family. I watched you and Ihsan on the internet or on the news everyday!! Buying her limited editions,braiding her hair,going on shopping sprees,planting soft kisses on her head,calling her baby,flying her to different countries on her birthday,looking at her with so much love and pride—" She choked on her tears a bit

"While you wouldn't even look at me. You took everything from my mother and my uncle—"

"Sabrina!!!" Dadaa thundered cutting her off angrily

"What? You don't want to clean up the skeletons you are hiding in your closet or have you forgotten about it"

Dadaa took a step back, his eyes wide with shock, as Sabrina's anger and hurt washed over him like a wave.

Dr. Smith emerged out of the door oblivious to what happened between the two, his face grim. "She's in a coma" he announced, his voice somber

"We've done everything we can, but the next 48 hours are critical" Dr.smith said making Dadaa stagger backwards

Sabrina glared at him in disgust before leaving
