The following week was the worst week of my life.
Kamsi's health kept deteriorating.
She was weak.
She barely ate.
Sometimes she couldn't even sit up.
The doctors wanted to run more tests.
I was terrified.
But Daniel suddenly had another business opportunity.
He told me he needed money.
Again.
“Amara, this is the last time.”
I stared at him.
“Last time?”
“Yes.”
“You already took my savings.”
“I know.”
“And you haven't returned anything.”
“I will.”
“My daughter is sick.”
“I know.”
“Then why are you asking me for money?”
He sat beside me.
“Because if I don't invest now, everything I've worked for will collapse.”
I laughed bitterly.
“Everything you've worked for?”
“Yes.”
“You mean the business I helped you build?”
“Exactly.”
I looked at him.
Then he said the sentence that made me make the biggest mistake of my life.
“If I succeed, Kamsi will have the best treatment money can buy.”
I believed him.
I borrowed money from my sister.
I borrowed from my cooperative.
And I gave Daniel another large amount.
I didn't know that same day, he bought Jennifer a car.
I didn't know until later.

That afternoon, I called Daniel.
No answer.
I called again.
Nothing.
Then I received a message from an unknown number.
“You need to know what your husband is doing.”
There was a picture attached.
Daniel was standing beside Jennifer.
The car was behind them.
A brand-new car.
The caption beneath the picture read:
“My man did it again.”
I stared at the screen.
My husband had just told me he needed money to save his business.
He had used it to buy another woman a car.
I couldn't breathe.
I called him.
He answered.
“Hello?”
“Where are you?”
“Work.”
“Who is Jennifer again?”
Silence.
“You're still asking me about her?”
“Did you buy her a car?”
Silence.
“Daniel!”
“Yes.”
The word came quietly.
I felt something inside me collapse.
“With my money?”
“No.”
“Then whose money?”
He didn't answer.
I knew.
I knew immediately.
“My money.”
“Amara—”
“You bought her a car with the money I borrowed for Kamsi?”
“It wasn't like that.”
“How was it then?”
“I....I love her.”
Those three words destroyed me.
I sank onto the floor.
“You love her?”
“Yes.”
“And what am I?”
He didn't answer.
I laughed through my tears.
“I'm your wife.”
“Yes.”
“Your daughter is dying.”
“I know.”
“And you're buying another woman a car?”
“I was going to replace the money.”
“When?”
“Soon.”
I screamed.
“SOON?”
Kamsi woke up.
“Mommy?”
I wiped my face.
“Baby…”
She looked at me.
“Why are you crying?”
I couldn't answer.
Daniel hung up.
That night, I sat beside my daughter's bed.
I held her hand.
“Mommy is here.”
She smiled weakly.
“I know.”
I kissed her forehead.
“I'm not going anywhere.”
But the next morning, I did.

Daniel called.
He said he was stranded somewhere.
He begged me to come.
He said it was an emergency.
I looked at Kamsi.
She was sleeping.
The doctor had told me not to leave her alone.
But Daniel said:
“Please. You're my wife.”
Those words were enough.
I asked a nurse to watch her.
And I left.
I went to meet my husband.
When I arrived, he wasn't stranded.
He was with Jennifer.
They were sitting in a restaurant.
Laughing.
I stood at the entrance.
Daniel saw me.
His smile disappeared.
“Amara…”
Jennifer turned.
She looked at me.
Then at him.
“So this is your wife?”
I couldn't believe it.
Daniel stood up.
“Let's talk outside.”
I looked at Jennifer.
Then at my husband.
“You called me here?”
“I needed to explain.”
“You lied.”
He followed me outside.
I slapped him.
With all the energy I used in borrowing money just to lend to him.
For the first time in my life.
“Do you know where your daughter is?”
He looked away.
“At the hospital.”
“And you made me leave her because you wanted to see her?”
He said nothing.
I rushed back.
But when I arrived at the hospital, there were doctors around Kamsi's bed.
The worst has happened.
I was sweating...
My heart had stopped.
“What happened?”
One of the doctors approached me.
“She suddenly deteriorated.”
I ran to her.
“Kamsi!”
She was unconscious.
“Baby, Mommy is here.”
I held her hand.
“Please wake up.”
The doctor told me they were doing everything possible.
I cried.
I begged.
I prayed.
I promised God I would change.
I promised I would never put anyone before my child again.
But Kamsi didn't wake up.
Hours passed.
Then the doctor came out.
His face told me everything.
“No…”
He gently shook his head.
I screamed.
“No!”
I collapsed.
“My daughter!”
I couldn't breathe.
“My baby!”
Vivian held me as I screamed.
“I should have been here.”
She cried too.
“I should have stayed.”
Then she said:
“Amara…”
I looked at her.
“You did everything you could.”
“No.”
I shook my head violently.
“I didn't.”
I remembered every moment.
Every time Kamsi needed me.
Every time Daniel needed money.
Every time I defended him.
Every red flag I dismissed.
Every time I said:
“My husband comes first.”
I looked at my daughter's empty bed.
And for the first time, I understood.
I hadn't been protecting my marriage.
I had been sacrificing my child for a man who wasn't protecting me.
Daniel came hours later.
He walked into the room.
I looked at him.
He started crying.
“Amara…”
I stood up.
“Don't.”
He froze.
“You don't get to cry.”
“She's my daughter too.”
“No.”
I pointed at the door.
“You lost the right to call yourself her father when you chose another woman over her.”
He cried harder.
But I didn't comfort him as usual.
For years, I had been the woman who defended him.
That woman died the day my daughter did.
And I wasn't going to become her again.
