Velvet put the last box of her mom's delicate jars into the trunk before turning to lily who put her box in a different taxi "you really don't have to have a rift with father because of us" she said with a kind smile, her most doted on little sister had grown so much.
" I know him sis, I'm getting already in colledge and can live in the dommetory, the money you've given me is enough for a while, I already have a parttime job afterwll, I'll hold up pretty well" she said returning her elder sisters smile.
She was happy that for the first time, her elder sister was doing what she really wanted to and not just doing what she was obligated to.
It was a real breath of fresh air for them all.
"But..."
"But nothing Vel, I and that man don't see eye to eye either ways" she said with a shrugg making them both laugh, "no seriously, if he told me one plus one is two, I would travel the seven rivers and mountains just to prove it's eleven, just because he said it".
Lilly said making Vel playfully ruffled hair, this little princess of her had grown up to be a strong and resilient woman so fast that it was scary.
They both went into the house to see Flora put the last clothing in her suitcase before zipping it closed, vel then dragged it out and handed it to the truck driver who thoughtfully landed it in.
Soon enough, the sound of a car screeching to a halt in the drive way made silence envelope the air in the sitting room.
Why was he back so early?! They all wanted to leave without him knowing! Who would have told him?
Then they all looked at Jane who was loudly smoking gum in a corner while admiring her nail polishes shade compared to her dress.
They totally forgot about that snitch!
It was too late soon as Mr. Adams soon came storming into the house "you all are going no where!" He thundered.
"Where do you think you want to go huh? To the Splendours? Don't dream of it, that door is closed for life! " he hurled at Velvet letting out wild laughter.
"Where we go is none of your buisness, anywhere far away from you is enough" she brazenly roared back at her father, it didn't suprise her that her father would do that, she foresaw it, she understood him unfortunately too well.
She was just worried that Prima would be frantically looking for her and knowing Prima, she would be exchanging hurtful words with her parent.
"You would end up a street side harlot! Even you know that Flora!" He screamed maniacally.
" you would not insult my daughter, last night, you signed a divorce certificate and you signed to sexuall and physical assault on me, I have evidence on tape Danny! Don't make me use it!" She screamed back.
Danny was flustered, bit and pieces of memories from the night before filttered into his mind making him gritt his teeth "go then! But I would get you back Flora and when I do...."
"You'd do nothing because there's a restraint order against you, don't test my patience" Flora stopped to shuffle through her back.
Baaam!
A paper bag fell on the floor " it's all Velevt owes you!"
Baaaam!
Another paper bag kissed the ground " for all you 'inconvieniences' "
Flora then took out a ten dollar note throwing it at him " for the your 'taking good care' of me"
With that she was about to walk out when Mr. Adam hollered " Lilly, stay or else.... infact! I disown you, you would no longer be apart of the Adams family nor bear our name"
"Who wants to carry your filthy low class name, keep your name to yourself maniac" she said before pulling out her last luggage.
"Velvet I dis..."
" don't bother, I've already disowned myself, " she said before taking the last luggage from her mom and rolling it out of he house.
Flora took the last glance at a man she loved so much, the man she grew up loving, a man,she served as maid and then as a wife and lastly.. as a punching bag..
They were finally going separate ways.
Despite her strong font, she was week inside, trembling at the thought of leaving him.
If she left him, he was totally going to destroy himself, he would loose him self to his own bad deeds.
Tears struggled to burst out from her eyes but she put a a fight, holding them back in with all her strength.
She had given him 45 years of her life from birth till this day, and now, she was leaving him to his own fate.
"Have a good life.... Danny"
