Nicole was at home and overheard her father talking to her stepmother. Harold was annoyed with Fiona and kept repeating that he worked hard to give his daughter everything she wanted. Fiona said he spoilt that girl too much, and she could not develop a sense of responsibility being pampered like that. Harold was firm, and said nothing would change.

When the man left home next day, Fiona was having breakfast, and she had the displeasure of seeing her stepdaughter show up with a smug smile on her face. Nicole was wearing her university uniform, and her beautiful brown hair was tied back in a ponytail.
