With tears in her eyes, Vicki watched her mother drive out of the McAllens residence. She was standing at the doorway, bidding her mother goodbye while wiping off tears from her eyes. Nicolas stood behind her, afraid to reach out and hold his daughter. It was normal for her to feel bad and sad. Moreover, Ursula was still her mother, and she'll miss her around. To Vicki, everything happened fast, and she didn't even have time to comprehend what was going on. The next minute, her mother had been ousted from the house. When it was obvious that Ursula had completely left the place, Vicki turned around and began to walk into the sitting room, her face ice cold.After a long pause, she turned to her father and said in a very serious tone. “You have to bring back my mother to me, or you won't have peace in this house.”“I can't bring her back, Vicki. You have to understand why I don't want her here with us anymore. Your mother cheated on me and even plotted against me.” Nicolas was tryin

They drove out of there with Nicolas trying so hard to pull himself together. The last thing Nicolas expected was to be betrayed by his good friend. Later that evening, Adolphus met up with Abigail, and together, they drove to her home like she had insisted the previous day.If it was left to only Adolphus's opinion, he'd not show himself in their home until he was ready to tie the knot with Abigail. Adolphus wanted to deal with them from afar while acting like nothing was happening. However, he had no other choice but to change his mind.After all, they were still Abigail's family, and anything he did to them would directly affect her. “What do you think is going to happen when we get to your house?” Adolphus broke the silence between them.He had met up with her outside her workplace, and together, they drove to her house.“Well, nothing much except that they'd be excited to see you, to see us together.” Abigail replied, smiling at Adolphus. She knew exactly what was going on in

“What just happened?” Brett inquired, staring open-mouthed at her husband, who was speechless.He had just been embarrassed by Adolphus, and Abigail was not helping matters. It was as if Abigail and Adolphus had had prior discussion about them before coming there.Well, they were right. Abigail didn't like that her family always made it obvious that they were money hungry people . She'd never make Adolphus do their bidding. They are her family, but she won't bring herself very low like they always do.“I think Abigail and Adolphus are not going to indulge us. However, I won't give up on asking Adolphus for help” Benson replied and added. “I'm sure he'll eventually forgive us one day and help us out.”“I hope so too.” Brett muttered, turning to face her son, who was busy with his phone. “Pius, go and speak to your sister. Let her convince Adolphus to help us.” She instructed, but Pius only stood up and began to go to his room.“Mom, let her be for now. Adolphus also needs time to get

The next morning at the McAllen residence, Nicolas woke up early and decided to visit his daughter's roomVicki was still sleeping when she heard a knock on the door. “I'm coming in, Vicki.” He announced and waited for a minute before opening the door. Vicki was still lying down but now awake. In fact, she was already pissed at her father for coming to disturb her sleep. “What is it, Dad?” She muttered with a cracked and angry voice. “I didn't know that you came home last night. I thought you went home with your precious and newly found family.”“I never expected to see you at home at this time.”“We need to talk, Vicki.” Nicolas ignored her nagging, knowing what she was trying to do.“Dad, we have nothing to discuss. You've made your choice and chosen your precious family. Just leave me the hell alone.” Vicki replied, still clutching onto her pillow like it was her life. For a moment, Nicolas didn't utter a word. He only went closer and sat down beside his daughter on the bed.Vic

Abigail reached out and held tightly onto Adolphus like she was scared. “She's terrifying.” She muttered to Adolphus, and he nodded. “Yeah, she is, but don't worry, everything will be fine.”Abigail was just finding out from her utterances that Ursula and Nicolas are no longer together. She's never met Ursula before but knew that someone like her would never accept Adolphus. She looked like trouble. “I'll go and fix lunch for us.” Doris muttered before leaving them alone. She had nothing to say about Ursula, who just came to her restaurant and issued a threat. The other day, it was her daughter who nearly set her restaurant on fire. Now, Ursula was threatening her like she had done something wrong.It wasn't like she stole Ursula's husband from her. The woman was just looking for who to blame for her misfortunes. At that time, there were only a few customers in the restaurant. That was the reason Ursula had the nerve to confront them publicly about her private matter. Although,
