Who would have thought she could do something as shameless as this!" another adds, pushing the first one aside to take a proper look at her.One of the ladies with a camera steps out."Tell us, is it really true that your son belongs to Mr. Martin, or are the news stories all fake?" the lady asks Cecelia, with her camera fixed directly on Cecelia's face."I don't know what you people are talking about.

On her way home, she had called Marie to come back because they had something very important to talk about.But upon getting home, she sees how angry they look. She tries calling Marie to stay back, but the call isn't going through. She texts, but the message still doesn't send because of the network.Now she is stuck because she knows so well that they aren't going to spare Marie for making things so rough for their friends. Now they are there to give her a piece of her own cake.At one point, Mrs. Webster decides to call Rose because she knows what is coming; she knows they will deal with Marie if they set eyes o

NARRATORMarie is rushed to the hospital while the cops take the rest.Mrs. Webster has no choice but to follow them to the hospital; on the other hand, she is already weak and tired.

So, in the truest sense, she is all by herself.When they get to the hospital, she tries reaching out to Rose, but Rose still doesn't pick up. So she has no choice but to go over to her place.

Trust me, we do care about you. It's just that we didn't want to feel like we wouldn't be better without him. We're sorry," Victoria says."I'm not blaming any of you. I just want you all to understand that it's not as easy as you think. I understand you want me to be fine without him, but then again you should all know that moving on isn't as easy as you think it is.
