Don Arm froze in midair as he was about to punch Ava in the face. Remembering Ava's good deed, his hand fell.
"My goodness! My life is a story to them." Don whispers to himself with a storm of sadness over his head.
He pushed Ava aside and ran out of the mansion.
"Don, I'm so sorry!" Ava yelled at Don, but he ignored her and walked carelessly out of the mansion.
Don doesn't care about his life anymore, he's so heartbroken. Don wouldn't have been so angry if the child wasn't from her family. God knows when his smoking rage will be concentrated. How would he live with this woman? How would he live with the people he calls children?
"Just leave him alone, he needs time to heal." Dyrus voice blurted out, accompanied by laughter.
"You bastard!" Ava ran toward Dyrus with her fist clenched, grabbing his collar.
"How could you do that to your brother? You made life difficult for him.”
“Now that Don knows the truth. You're going to spend the night in my bedroom, right?” Dyrus announced. Ava was furious, a slap rang out in his face.
"How dare you?" Ava said, looking at Dyrus.
"What's so bad about that? We've done this a dozen times, so what about the storyline?”
"Remember, Don's out of the way! Nothing can stop us from having fun now,” chuckles Dyrus. Ava was so disgusted by his words.
"Ava, what are you doing late at night?" Loveth, Lucas' daughter yawned as she saw Dyrus and Ava staring at each other.
"Hmm... I couldn't sleep."
"You need sleep, Ava. The commotion worries everyone. Please go to bed immediately. You already look tired. That should be why your eyes are watering.” Loveth said.
"All right love. I'm going to bed." Ava said, releasing Dyrus' collar as she walked away. Loveth went into her room and locked the door behind her as she threw herself into bed next to her sleeping mother Jane.
Ava walks toward her room, shoulders slumped. She knows she made a mistake and she wants to make up with him. Ava went to check on her sons as she usually does before going to bed. She limps into their rooms and kisses them goodnight one after the other, which has been successful except for Derek.
Ava groaned when she couldn't find Derek or Lia in his room anymore. She panicked, her body became hot and her thirst for water increased. "I hope he didn't sneak out of the house again." Ava pulled her hair, she was so confused. She didn't know where to start looking for them. She ran into every room in Donald's mansion looking for Derek. She was already exhausted. She needed water, so she strode into the kitchen before continuing her endless search.
Cold water runs through her body when she spots Derek in the kitchen, his arms around Lia's waist while Lia prepares samosa for him.
Ava smiles as she stops her limbs, she made sure they don't see her because she knows they freak out with everything they see.
Ava was happy to see her son so happy. Derek has never been happier until he met Lia. Ava watched from afar as her son laughed with Lia. They looked happy together, they are so compatible.
"I wish she was still single, I would have proposed to my son Derek," Ava said to herself as she watched them play like young people. Ava was content to see her happy son, which lightened her gloomy mood. She felt fulfilled. Ava goes to her room to freshen up after a very long and stressful day. She threw her stressed body onto the bed, knowing she needed to free her mind.

Ava unconsciously stretches her hand to Don's side of the bed. She woke up and remembered her terrible deeds, she didn't want to hurt him but things just happened the way they wanted.
"He didn't come home?" Ava wonders while looking at the clock hanging on the wall next to her bed. It's morning, but Don isn't home yet.
Ava strode out of her bedroom with the black nightstand. Ava sees Dan and Sam go to the golf room, they do that on Saturdays, and play golf.
"Hi, have you seen your dad?" Ava asked, meaning Don as her dad.
"No mom. What's happening? Didn't you both sleep in the same bed last night?” Daniel asked.
"Not really," Ava replied.
"Mom, you look tired. just rest He would come back.” Sam admitted. As soon as Sam said that, Don shifted his body and mumbled to himself. He looked up and down and his body was shaking like a cold chicken.
"Don!" Ava ran towards him and put his arm on her shoulder to support his movements.
"Stay away from me you whore. Marrying you was a mistake.” Don said drunk. Ava could feel alcohol breath coming out of his mouth.
"Don, did you have a drink?" Ava asked, but Don didn't answer. Don kept saying she was a mistake as he pushed her away while he was the one falling.
"Father." Dan and Sam dropped their fully equipped golf bag as they ran to their father and helped him.
"Dad, why are you saying that to mom? She's the best woman anyone could have wished for.” Dan said as he and Sam helped Don off the floor, putting his arm around her shoulder.
"Dan, can't you see he's drunk? Most of what he says is just because of the alcoholic drink. He's already lost his mind,” Sam said.
"Okay," Dan replied.
"Are you just going to take your father to his room?" Ava asked.
"Sure," they said as they carried Don into his bedroom. She threw him on his bed, Ava took off his shoes and covered him with a blanket.
"Ow," Dan winced as he put his hand on his back.
"He weighs so much." They both concluded.
"Mom, why does dad come home drunk? He's never done that before.” Sam said.
"I guess he's still mad at me," Ava murmured as she sat down on the bed.
"Whatever it is, please fix it, please don't let it destroy our already abandoned family," Sam said.
"Okay, I'll do my best, Sam," Ava said, looking at Sam.
Sam's brown eyes traveled to the ceiling as it got dark. Sam is a seer, so it's a vision.
An image of Derek in a pool of blood flashed in his mind.
