Okay , wait for me criminals I will make you suffer the way you did to my gran and promise I will surely get you all ... Prince swear in his mind..
Joseph was worried because of the loneliness his mom shown as days pass by. He know how much his mom loved his dad. They were high school sweetheart but they separated because his mom got pregnant and married the father of his two older sisters . His father became devastitated and decided to go abroad to continue his study and his mom find a way to reconcile with his dad and establish constant communication with him, When he go back home his mom and dad met again and renew their affair , his dad bring his mom abroad and marry her there , that's how Joseph was born and raise abroad. After five years his mom decided to petition her two daughters , It had been a very scandalous affair according to his mom because her husband sue her and his dad of bigamy but because her husband was a womanizer who spend most of his time with his other woman than with his wife and children and there were many who had bear witness that her husband have a mistress and there had been a sex video recorded taken from their own bedroom which mom Laly had been put up , because of her suspicion that he was bringing home women to be fucked right inside their home everytime she's at work. Dad Gil never know the reason of her sudden marriage with her first husband .
And it had been established that a case had been reopened about mom Laly filing a rape case against her first husband but it had been suspended when her mom get pregnant with Jenna so her family decided to marry her with Alfon her first husband.
But the marriage was a mess because mom Laly never loved her husband . The marriage comes to its worst turn when she discover his infidelity , she actually did all she can to make their marriage work , that's why a second daughter had been born , but she decided to turn her back from Alfon when he brought home a woman and have sex with her right in their own bedroom which she had taken a video without their knowledge . She felt disrespected and violated that's when she decided to call dad Gil and cried at him asking forgiveness for marrying the wrong guy. Dad Gil reject her calls but when he decided to talk to her , that was the start of their reconciliation which resulted to his going home and fetch mom Laly and bring her abroad and marry her.
" My life was a mess because of you !", Alfon use to throw at her insulting words
" Wow ! do you think I am happy with this set up? I have a boyfriend whom I love so much but because of you , my life became miserable !", she thrown back insult to her husband .
" Then you go back to your boyfriend !", Alfon retorded at her.
" Don't worry I will do that ! and no one
can stop me if he come back to me ", mom Laly said.
" Hah, he will never come back to you ! he will prefer someone young and has a talent in pleasuring him in bed !", Alfon swear.
" Then let's bet on that one , that's the problem , you underestimated Gil and mine love for each other , if you weren't such an evil Gil and I were happily married now !", Mom Laly scream at Alfon. They were already planning to get married when Alfon raped her , he was a womanizer because of his good looks but she never turned to look in his direction because she's focus on her darling Gil which makes Alfon felt insulted ,because she's the only woman who never get attracted by his goodlooks.
They won the case because inspite of the fact that she married Alfon , he had never been a good husband to her , because he blame her of taking his independence.
They always quarrel because mom Laly blame Alfon of raping her and for being irresponsible husband and father to their children , he is not ready for family responsibility.
