The worry soon transformed into dread as Bertie's father passed away.
Victoria was livid.
"If it wasn't for you, Albert would still be alive! All you had to do was not cause trouble. Is that so hard to ask? I shouldn't have expected much from you.. The psychic warned us that you would be nothing but trouble. Yet, we kept hoping that you would be able to prove them wrong.. and look where that got us.. The love of my life gone.. Because of you."
Victoria went back to her mafia ways after she cut ties with her eldest son.
Her oldest daughter, Vicky was married off to a rival gang to keep the peace.
Lenchen decided she didn't want to be part of the mafia. Instead, she helped with charities and became part of the British Red Cross. She happily married her third cousin.
Louise didn't want to marry a rival gang. Therefore, she married a regular civilian. At first, their relationship was alright. Though the longer they stayed together, the more their relationship became strained..
"You're having an affair with another man! I just know it!"
"John.. I have been loyal since the very beginning." Louise murmured in a tired voice.
"You must be sleeping around!"
"Why are you so insistent.."
"Lucinda Hawksley."
"What about her?"
"She believes her adopted son, Henry may be your birth child."
"Oh, you want to talk about rumors?" Louise questioned, "How about that rumor that you're secretly into the same gender."
"W-what? Just because I'm friends with men that like the same gender or both.. T-That does not mean that I am a part of them."
Louise chuckled, "Let's get separated."
"What? Why?"
"You can't trust me because I can't bear any children. These rumors are tearing us apart. Let's just go our separate ways. I'll be at the art studio if you ever want to try to make our relationship work once again."
