Chapter thirteen.

With the money Edric was earning from his new job, it was much easier to cope and months after, she gave birth to little Maryam. After that, they went to a registry nearby and got married. None of her family members graced them with their presence. In fact, it was quite the opposite. Her father stopped all means of communication between them. He had also given Mr. David and his family strict warning never to come close to his gate or step a foot into his compound. Regardless, the ceremony was successful and the newly wedded couple went home.
