Not all time is dinner , Some days were meant to be worst.

Davida's Modeling Studio

Mr Dickinson paid an impromptu visit to Davida . Davida was in the studio doing what she knew how to do best , Modeling . When she spotted her uncle standing at the door of the room Where she does her photoshoot , she quickly dismissed her crew members from the room , leaving just her and Mr Dickinson in the room .

What do you want this time ? Davida asked . Please take a walk with me honey ... Mr Dickinson pleaded.

I am busy as you can see . Davida replied as she continued working on her computer.

You are the boss . One hour of your time off work won't cause any harm .I really need us to talk .

Davida thought about it for a while then finally gave in to walk with him.

This better be a reason . She said .

Mr Dickinson and Davida walked down the streets . They had a serious discussion .

Mr Dickinson sincerely apologized for all what he did , how he tortured Davida emotionally and blamed her for her father's wrong deeds . Why don't I believe you uncle ... You and your brother are so full of evil . Davida said .

I know , but do you wanna know why I did all of that ? Mr Dickinson asked ..

Sadly I wanna say no but yea I wanna hear it . Davida replied. Your dad and I were never close as siblings or business partners , He never loved me because I was an adopted son . But as my big brother , I learned to give him all the respect he deserves until one day something happened .... He married your mom. Mr Dickinson suddenly stopped and got emotional , he remained silent for a while . Davida listened keenly and patiently . Your mom was an angel . Mr Dickinson continued . I am glad you said was. Davida replied.

No you don't understand , after my foster mom , the only woman I respected was your mom , she was the reason I tolerated Louis' disrespectful and disgustful behaviour towards me . She made me felt like family , treated me as such and I actually loved you and your sister only because of her . Mr Dickinson continued .

Davida scoffed . Love ? She suddenly burst out of laughter .

Yes funny right , I know this makes no sense . Mr Dickinson said .

You tell me .... What exactly is your point . Davida replied .

Your father is a beast ... He kills innocent people , good people , he doesn't care about anybody but himself , Mr Dickinson said.

You think I don't know all of that .. you think I am proud ? What I don't understand is what happened to my mother , she became the meanest , he doesn't pick up my calls , she doesn't care , she was not like that . What happened to her .. she doesn't even wanna have a conversation with me , I hate them . Davida said as she broke out in tears . No baby hate your dad not mom .. your dad is to blame . Mr Dickinson tried to comfort her . But why Davida yelled .. Because your dad .....
