Darcy’s shamelessness didn’t end there. He kicked his son whom he had been sticking to like plaster since knowing he was his and Grace’s son. “Dad, how shameless can you be?” Marcus twisted his lips in disdain. “What face?? If I can be with your mother, what face? I wouldn’t even care about my life.” Darcy retorted before closing the door. Marcus knew the door wouldn’t open and wondered if he should go downstairs and trouble his little uncle. All of sudden he didn’t want to behave as any other normal young man would… he wanted to make up for all the years of neglect he was owed. However even before he could head downstairs Night Wing escorted him to his room “Don’t even think about throwing a tantrum with your little uncle. Your little aunt needs to rest.” “Why is my life miserable?” Marcus feigned a wronged expression although he was feeling extremely happy. “I would have gone back with Miles if I knew my parents were so heartless.” Night Wing rolled his eyes as he walked out.

Eva and Darcy came back after their weeklong honeymoon trip. Contrary to Eva's previous quiet behaviour, this time she flaunted her good fortune without a second thought. Eva could feel the difference in treatment from Elizabeth and Sarah but she was too happy in her own world that she didn’t give it a second thought. In her arrogance, she put down their difference in attitude to them sulking over the fact that he had taken her on a trip instead of their norm. During dinner she distributed the gifts she brought for everyone enthusiastically feigning ignorance to their disgusted indifference. She happily chatted telling them all the details of their trip, she didn’t care if the listener was interested or not; it was as if she was addicted to showing off their love life. The next 2 weeks went by without any incidents. Darcy and Grace lived in their little pink bubble after Marcus reluctantly went back to university. Grace felt her heart well up with warmth and guilt after she knew how

“How could you………” Eva's choked sobs reverberated in the ears of everyone who came to attend Marcus’s 20th birthday. Some of them couldn’t control the righteous anger bubbling within them although they didn’t want to offend the Walter family, the financial emperor, one that was capable of crippling the economic lifeline of the entire country let alone small fries like them. “Mr Walter how can you be so heartless towards the woman you spent the last twenty years of your life?” One of the hot-blooded men who couldn’t bear to see the beauty in distress scolded without care for his life. With one person leading the way more people became restless. “Even if you have fallen in love with someone else you should not be so unbridled.” Another person scoffed. “Miss, please don’t be like this.” The young lady who came with the first person who spoke out, comforted Eva as she helped her up from where she stumbled down. “Men like this, no matter how rich or handsome they are...” She paused as

“This was the beginning of my second brother’s nightmare…. A nightmare that lasted 21 years.” Eric sighed regretfully as the video reached its end. Showmanship was his forte and he didn’t disappoint one bit. The tempo of his speech and release of information couldn’t be more perfect; it captured the curiosity and hearts of everyone around him other than the Caldwell’s. “I am not sure how this vicious woman knew about second sister-in-law being pregnant, but I have to tremble at the thought of what followed could be cooked up in the mind of a 22-year-old.” Eric looked visibly shaken at the thought. “These are all events that took place when I was still in shorts and so I don’t blame anyone for doubting the authenticity of my words.” Eric had an understanding expression as he continued “I will let you hear from the people who were involved. They will be handed over to the law enforcement officers who are present to authenticate their words. Anyone who has doubts can also verify at that

“Heh! Very ambitious dream.” Chris and Eric scoffed in unison. “What? You want to send me to prison?” Eva’s lips curled up in disdain “Is that why you have such an impressive line up?” “Prison???” Chris let out a shallow laugh “Wouldn’t that be letting you off too easy??” “Do I look that easy to bully?” Chris turned his gaze towards Eva; his gaze had the flames from hell, enough to burn her into eighteen levels of hell. Eva felt a shiver in the core of her being as her gaze met Chris’s; Although she was several years older than him, she had to admit that she had never seen such an intimidating gaze. Even so, she tried her best to not show any signs of how shaken she was and feigned indifference as she laughed “Bully????” "Who is bullying whom?” She shrieked as she pointed at the two brothers; No matter how she tried, she couldn’t control her fury once she thought about it. “Does 20 years of my life mean nothing?” She yelled, shaking in anger. “Did we ask you?” Chris asked with i
