Derrick couldn't hold himself back anymore. He had gone through a lot today just to please and satisfy them but the more he tried, the more they despised him.Everyone was shocked by his reply, Derrick too was shocked by his words but they deserved it. He went through hell to make sure he finished all the chores assigned to him and on his return, they started with their words again. "Wow, I see you've grown wings now." Marvin scuffed and Loretta added "he now talks brother. Haha, well let's see how you will settle the cab driver then." The duo walked off leaving Derrick in his situation. "You fool, where is my food? I told you to get it ready before I return?" His mother-in-law inquired. "It's in the microwave ma, I kept it there because I was going grocery shopping.

Derrick sat on one of the chairs at Sandra's table. The girls have been talking for hours now, each of them flaunting their expensive assets. One of them brought out a piece of jewelry she purchased in Italy worth $5,000,000. Another flaunted an expensive Hermes bag and shoes to match that her fiance bought her that cost about $7,000,000. The other lady flaunted the pictures she took with her man when they went for a vacation in the Maldives and Manchester. "Girl, you're living the life!" Sandra cheered.

She pressed on the keyboard of her phone, it seemed like she was texting someone. With her attention gone from the road and her surroundings, she didn't take notice of two men who approached her. "Hey you, give me that" the first man requested "Who are you to tell me what to do?" She snapped at him "I wouldn't do that if I were you!"

With her hands on her face, she turned to look at the men in shock.Not waiting any extra minute, one of the men snatched her phone from her hand and the other pushed her to the ground. They divided the task, one focused on beating her. Kicking her, slapping
