The Wilson-Marino Family Background
Pastor Fredrik Wilson's real name- Frederico Marino
Pastor Fredrik Wilson's Parents- Franco Marino and Lucille Wilson-Marino
Pastor Fred's sister- Francesca Marino-Russo
Mrs. Lucille Marino is the paternal grandmother of Patrick and Fatima. Mrs. Lucille married at 18 to 30-year-old Italian businessman and wine owner, Franco Marino. While married, she helped him expand the business tremendously as well as open other businesses. They became very wealthy with a wine business, real estate, investments, and part owner of other businesses.
While growing up Pastor Fred and Francesca grew up in the best private schools, raised by nannies, and lived in a mansion in Napa. Mr. Franco and Mrs. Lucille wanted their kids to marry, have kids of their own, and continue the family legacy. Unlike Pastor Fred, Francesca got married at 19 to Lucille's godson and had two kids. She instantly became next up to inherit the business. Pastor Fred got into trouble, getting locked up, and making his mom disappointed. He later met Lady Pat and got her pregnant at 24. They didn't get married until a couple of years later. She came from a different side of the track and Mrs. Lucille didn't approve. She felt like Fred was a disappointment to the family name. She made him legally change his name from Frederico Marino to just Fredrik Wilson, her maiden name. Had him move across town, and never speak of the family name again.
His mother was ruthless. Later on, his dad, Franco Marino died. Mrs. Lucille and Francesca took over the business. She reached out to Fred to see if he wanted to see his dad one last time while he was in the hospital, but he refused. He hated his mom for keeping him away. He decided to turn his life around. That's when he started going to church faithfully. He turned his life to Christ, forgave his mom, and then became a pastor making a pretty good life for his family. One that Mrs. Lucille would be proud of. When Fatima graduated high school, he sent Mrs. Lucille a graduation picture.
She redid the will including Fatima and Patrick. In the will, they had to get married and have kids to inherit anything. To this day, Mrs. Lucille has never met her grandchildren, and they know nothing about their wealthy grandparents. The Johnsons and the Wilsons decided to marry Paris and Fatima off so that she could get the money and part of the business. Lady Pat was all in because that meant Fatima would be well-taken care of and so will her future grandkids. When Fatima called off the wedding all hell broke loose.
Lucille Wilson-Marino's will
Once Fatima and Patrick turn 30, they would receive $100 million each. If they get married, they get another $100 million. If they have kids, the kids of course get the family name and part of the estate and $1 million to put in a trust fund."
"I'm not understanding, why was Mother so into Paris and I marrying if the will said I just had to get married?"
"When your mother sets her mind on something she doesn't give up. She thought that Paris was a great guy and a great guy for you."
"Now that I'm married and have a child, do I still get the money?" Fatima wondered.
"I don't know. I haven't heard from your grandmother. So much has been happening lately."
Fatima is overwhelmed with the information her dad just put on her. Patrick finally came downstairs. They went out to eat and had small talk.
"I'm sorry Patrick, I have a lot on my mind can we get a rain check?"
"Yeah, sure. Whatever," Patrick said.
He has been feeling the normal teenager feeling when their parent's divorce.
Fatima drops him off at home and then she goes to see Lady Pat.
Knock, knock.
"Hey, Tima. What are you doing back here already? I thought you were hanging out with your brother," said Lady Pat.
"Mom cut the bull. Dad told me about the money that Patrick and I are to inherit. How come you didn't tell me about it? Why did you try to push Paris and me to get married?"
Lady Pat sat down trying to get her words together.
"Paris' mother had been keeping a secret. One night when you were a teenager, your dad and I got into a huge argument. I went to stay the night at Johnson's house to clear my head. When I got there, Mr. Johnson said that Mrs. Johnson had gone out of town. He still let me stay in the guest room as long as I was gone by the morning. That night we talked and drank until one thing led to another. Mrs. Johnson arrived home the next morning and caught us in the bed together."
"So you and Mr. Johnson slept together?" Fatima asked.
Lady Pat put her head down in shame. "Yes."
"Does dad know?"
"No, he doesn't. He just thought I wanted y'all to get married for money. Everything he said about your grandmother Lucille is true, but the reason I tried so hard for y'all to marry is to keep the affair a secret. Mrs. Johnson blackmailed me. She knew about the money you would inherit so she wanted Paris and you to get married to get a part of your inheritance."
"Mom, this hold time Mrs. Johnson was the mastermind and then she hid her hand making you look like the villain?"
"Yes, I guess so. She said that as long as I made that happen and got her her money then she would not tell my husband what happened. Now that you and Paris didn't get married we haven't talked much. I think she knows that I don't have much left to lose at this point."
Fatima heard it all. "Mom I have to get back to my baby, I will call you tomorrow."
Fatima went home and told Zac everything. They vowed to not keep secrets and this was a secret too big to keep.
"Damn T, that's a lot." Said Zac shaking his head. "No disrespect, but it's funny how your mom was so hard on me when she was keeping the biggest secret of all time. She cheated on your father with her friend's husband."
"Zac!"
"Fatima, do you believe all this?"
"Yes, why would my mom lie?"
Zac stated, "I think she is telling the truth, but she is also using this blackmail thing to get the smoke off her back."
"I get what you're saying, but I don't know. Should I tell my dad?"
"I think you, your mom, and dad need to go to therapy and get it all out."
Fatima let out a big sigh and then went to shower and go to bed. She also said a little thank you prayer. After hearing all of that she is so grateful that she chose Zac instead of Paris.
