"Who do you think you are?" Nathan thundered his grip on Mabel's wrist tightening "Mabel I knew you were up to no good the moment you set foot in this house What is wrong with you? How dare you try to harm my mother?"
Mabel's face twisted in defiance"So what are you going to do tell on me?"
"you are trying to poison my mother You're sick Mabel are you that desperate???"
"Yes I am desperate for my father's love and attention! I'll do whatever it takes to prove to him that I'm his daughter!" Mabel shouted
"Are you blind to the fact that your father is manipulating you Mabel? Wake up He doesn't care about you at all he's just using you for his own gain"
"That's none of your business Stay out of my affairs!" she snapped
"I won't stay out of it because this involves my family You just tried to harm my mother and expect me to mind my own business? No way!"
"Fuck you!" she spat snatching her bag
"He even forced you to abort your unborn child Can't you see the writing on the wall? Your father doesn't love you, Mabel!" Nathan shouted
Mabel froze her hand on the door handle and slowly turned to face Nathan
"Stop dredging up the past it's dead and gone!" Mabel shouted storming out of the room
Nathan ran his hands through his hair Elisa entered"Where's Mabel?" she asked
"Don't ask me about her and one more thing stop inviting her to this house" He turned and walked away leaving Elisa perplexed
"What's going on?" she muttered to herself

"What are you saying?" Alex shouted
"Molly's son's father is alive," Sophia revealed
"But Molly told me he was dead"
"That's because she didn't want you to know the truth She refused to tell you because she's been hiding it from everyone But trust me Jasper's father is alive and searching for both of them"
Alex's eyes narrowed"Why are you telling me all this?"
"Because I want you to protect her from Marco I don't know why she kept it a secret but I do know that Marco is a dangerous man and Molly and Jasper need your help"
"If she didn't want to tell me, then don't! She had her reasons for keeping it secret and who knows maybe she'll confide in me later and why are you telling me"
Sophia tried to explain "No, Alex, it's not that I want to come between you two...I just wanted to—"
But Alex cut her off "You just want to what? You're her friend, shouldn't you respect her decision? You disgust me" He slammed his fist on the table, making the dishes shake
"I trust Molly and if she says he's dead, then that's it!" Alex declared

Molly's tears flowed as she slurred"He's not speaking to me Sophia...what can I do?"

"I made a mistake, Sophia...I should I have tell Alex and now he feels betrayed. I messed up..." Sophia held her close offering a comforting hug as Molly's sobs continued
