Chapter 101

STEPHANIE

"Did you sell it?" I asked my father the moment he stepped into the living room.

My parents house isn't somewhere I frequent so often because this place brings notthig but bad memories. It reminds of how much I am not loved.

How ironic, I am not loved by my husband, nor am I loved by my parents. How great is my life.

"Yes, I did." He replied, moving over to the other end of the sofa. "it was sold last night." He replied and when I didn't give a response, he lifted his head to me. "it was sold for five

hundred thousand."

I arched a brow. "Really?" I was really expecting more. "when am I getting my money?" he didn't respond and I leaned forward. "when am I getting my money? I paid for half of that Lambo and I want my money back."

"I was thinking we could keep the money apart and use it as part of that-" My father began, his tone suggesting he was trying to reason with me.

"I want you to stop thinking and return my money to me," I snapped, cutting him off abruptly. "That money was from my savings, and it's going back there. So you better give it back to me before I lose my patience with you."

My father's jaw clenched angrily at my defiance. "How can you be worried about your savings?" he challenged incredulously

"Why shouldn't I?" I shot back, my frustration bubbling to the surface. "I worked hard for it, so of course I should be worried about it! Why should I constantly worry about a mess you created?"

Just then, my mother entered the living room, a cup of tea in hand. "Can you both stop it?" she chastised, her tone firm as she glared at both of us. "Just give her back her money, Waper. It isn't even going to go halfway in clearing a debt that you created."

For once, I felt a surge of relief that my mother was taking my side in this argument.

we get to that bridge of me retiring, we will cross it." With a heavy sigh, he removed his glasses and leaned back in his chair. "Now that you're married to Ryan, what's the next move? Are you
