She was now a highly sort jewellery designer. She was head hunted by the company back home. While waiting for her luggage Victoria met an old lady who kept starring at her and her two fraternal twins, Maya and Luke. The old lady just couldn't take her eyes of the adorable duo and their mother. Although other people passing by were looking at them and whispering, this particular lady attracted her the most.
• Old lady Mrs Chadwick went up to them and introduced herself, she figured the young lady may be a single mother, otherwise why was she alone with such young kids? She reminded the old lady of her younger self. Vibrant and full of energy, her beauty and radiance attracted Old Mrs Chadwick.
• She wished she met this young lady sooner, maybe she could have been her granddaughter in-law. Even though she knew her grandson, Christian was probably not into women, because he had never brought any lady friend home. Old Mrs Chadwick was drawn to Victoria in a way she couldn't understand.
• She asked Victoria if she could be her goddaughter, She just wanted to get close to this young lady even if it's not my her being her granddaughter in-law. They exchanged numbers and Victoria promised to visit the nice old lady after she settled down with the kids.
• They parted ways and Victoria found Serena waiting for her at the parking lot, very happy to finally see her dear friend after four years. Seeing them now felt so real, it wasn't the same at the video calls, every other day. They went straight to the hotel Victoria was booked at, curtesy of the company that head hunted her, She was head hunted by a jewellery design company when she was abroad.
• She decided to catch up with Serena while she still have a week left before she could go back to work, Serena had offered to help her look for a house back home since she decided to cut ties with her family permanently. She had no desire to go back home. " Did you hear that your sister is getting married to some hot shot? I wonder what he saw in her" Serena said , rolling her eyes .
• Vicky was not interested at all about her family affairs, so she cut her friend before she could continue talking about them. But unfortunately they found out she was back and summoned her immediately back to the house. She settled in, she left Maya and Luke with Serena, and she was very happy to spend time with her godchildren.
• As soon as she entered the house Mara came up to her to show her a huge diamond ring on her finger. " You decided to get pregnant before getting married, huh? Do you even you even know the child's father? Mara didn't know Vicky had twins. She just heard rumours that she was seen with a little girl at the airport, no one mentioned they boy.
• She was called home so she could attend her sister's wedding to safe face, but they actually wanted to cut ties with her, because to them she was an embarrassment. Mara was to be married to Christian although He did not like her, and her vibe, hr had promised his grandfather that he will marry Helena's daughter. Old Mr Chadwick didn't know that Helena had a step daughter. He met her while they were both being treated for cancer at Hope hospital, Helena was like a daughter to him , she told him about her daughter and how adorable she was. There and then old Mr Chadwick decided to make her his goddaughter. He was wanted nothing but for his grandson to marry his goddaughter's child.
• Christian had a feeling his grandfather loathed Mara, because every time she would visit their house he seemed to be exasperated, but he didn't couldn't speak because he had suffered a major stroke, which also made him wheelchair bound. He had just decided to make him happy because he was afraid hold me Chadwick would die of a heart attack if he ever defied him. He had never even let Maya come close to him, all he wanted was for his grandfather to get better and soon. " Of all people why would grandfather choose such an ill mannered girl to be my wife?" he had always wondered.
• Christian made Mara sign a 3 month contract just to appease his grandfather. His grandfather was not in good health and had refused treatment if Christian didn't get married and make him great grandfather. Christian was deeply in love with the woman he met that night, but he couldn't find her, if he could, he would just ask her to marry him. He looked everywhere for her but couldn't find her. He knew his grandfather may have set him up and drugged the wine in his hotel. Unfortunately that girl also drank it. They couldn't control themselves because they were drugged.
• Victoria went to her home for the first time in 4 years. She was very healthy and beautiful, which made Mara even more envious of her. She greeted her mother and acted like her father and sister were not in the room. This made Mr Underwood, very angry. But he had already decided to cut ties with Victoria for good after the wedding. He just wanted to safe face for now.
