"WHERE have you been?" Margaret gritted her teeth as she asked the young lady who just entered their house. She even made sure that her husband was already asleep so he would not know that their daughter came out.
"Not now, Ma!" Janice was tired.
"I am still talking to you so don't you dare turn your back on me!" Margaret rebuked her daughter in a low voice, she would not like a noise to wake her husband up.
Janice stopped taking steps and faced her mother. She looks annoyed. "I'm big enough, so I don't need to have your and dad's permission before I am able to do what I want anymore!"
Margaret was shocked. She never expected her daughter to be so rude like that. "When did you have that attitude similar to your sister, huh?" She glared at her and restrained herself from pulling her hair.

Margaret said sadly and she secretly smiled when she saw the angry reaction of her friend as she looks at the photo in her hand. "If this is true, why did Chris let this happen?" Luisa asked confusedly. What she knew is that, it was Margaret who had an affair and not Nica. "Believe me, Luisa, you know me. With my age, can I still ha
"Aunt, please, don't show yourself to Nica yet," Chris asked the woman. He was thankful that his wife was still inside and he saw her first."I'm the wife and she's just the daughter, so I have more right than her to be by Alfonso's side!" Margaret insisted on going inside Alfonso's room. She has to see her husband's condition so that she can think of a plan against Nica."Wife?"Chris and Margaret stopped arguing when Nica spoke in the doorway. Her eyes were swollen from crying, but there was a fire of anger in there as she looks at Margaret."You call yourself my father's wife?" She asked her stepmother sarcastically and closed the door where she came from.Margaret's tongue backed out and she could not answer Nica. She is seeing a different Nica and she looks like she would not lose to her this time."When you became a sugar mommy of that bastard Philip, did you think that you have a husband?" Nica continued taking out her contempt for he
