Eve sat in her living room watching re runs of full house when she heard the front door and hearing it her kids she said" please tell me you didn't bring that devil in my house again" she got as both Queenie and Dre walked inside.

"We need to talk" they both said at the same time. Eve looked at her kids, the last time they sat in this position was when Eve's husband and their father Frank Adams died; Frank was a hard working man, when Frank was a young boy he learned a lot about farming and like the idea of being your own boss.

Frank grew up to be a well known farmer all over Richmond, he came from a poor family, his parents had six other children and he was the youngest. Margaret Frank's mother worked two jobs ; she was a seamstress, worked straight from her home and a housekeeper at some rich folks mansions.

Frank's father Rupert was a farmer. He sold his produce at the local market on Sundays and Saturdays with the help of the kids, Frank loved going to the market to see all the different stalls. After all produce was sold Rupert visited the pub and drank the money, he always goes home drunk.
Frank never wanted his children to go through the things he went through as a child.

"What may I do for you?" She asked her children as they both glared at her.

"Why do you resent Stasi" Queenie boldly asked

Eve opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She stood their looking at her children as her mouth open and close like a fish out of water.

"Are you going to answer us are you going to just sit their like a fish"Dre yelled at his mother.

Eve frowned at her son how dare he speak to me that way she thought, she got up and was and walked to the doorway of the living as she was about to leave she said "some things are better kept a secret than said" with that being said Eve waltz away living Dre and Queenie pondering on what their mother just said.

What secrets could their mother be hiding, why did it involve their sister.

[ Nastasi Adams's Apartment]

While the kids played with their new toys which their aunt and uncle bought for them. Their mother Stasi Adams looked out the window of her apartment complex. She is forever grateful to her brother and sister who did nothing but helped her in her time of need.

She couldn't believe that her mother would do her wrong after all she been through and after keeping her promise to her father her husband. She betrayed her , Stasi shake her head he must be rolling in his grave right now she thought.
The thought brought tears to her eyes, she was harbouring a secret that could tear her beloved family apart but her family was already rip to shreds the moment when Eve kicked her out.
Eve only did that to protect herself; it may of come of as mean or resentful but she didn't care. She couldn't risk her other children finding out about her deep dark secret.
Stasi sighed as she remember the day clearly, she had sneak of to a party with her friends and she where she gotten into a big argument with Jerome. She remember bits and pieces of that night but she did remember was coming home to a dark and quiet house. As she entered the house she heard a sound coming from the kitchen. She didn't really expect anyone since it was after 4 in the morning, her mother and father was early risers and so was her siblings.

But as she neared the kitchen the sounds grew louder, she finally recognize that it was her mother having intercourse with a man that wasn't her father. Nastasi gasped making her mother and her friend looked up wide eyed. Stasi ran to her room, with her mother hot on her heel she couldn't stand to be in the same room as her knowing the wrong thing she had done. Her mother begged her to keep her promise and that she did but it was until Stasi was 17 and pregnant and her mother had threatened to kick her out the house, that she wanted to tell her father . Eve told her if Frank ever find out about that she was never going to step foot in her house again. That day Frank walk in on his youngest daughter and wife in a heated argument it was then he found out the truth and Eve kept her promise and Nastasi Adams never looked back.

As she sat there remembering that time a knock sounded from the door making her jump. Who could it be she thought as she walked over to the door. As she opened it she came face to face with her dear beloved sister and brother. She smiled at them both while ushering them in. The kids ran to their aunt and uncle showing them their toys, "we need to talk "Dre said as he and his sister's walk in the kitchen away from the kids.
"About what"Stasi said.
"About that day you was kicked out, we know you knew something that cause mama to kick you out" Queenie interjected.
"What's make you think that"
They both glared at her and it was then they learned the truth behind their fathers death and the reason why their mother hated their sister......
