Part 3/7:
In an act of desperation fueled by his mother's derision, O welcomed Obby into their lives, convinced that she could bear him the son he longed for. Adur, heartbroken and feeling betrayed, witnessed as her husband’s affections shifted to this new woman. Under the same roof, tensions rose as Obby and O’s mother belittled Adur and her daughters, forcing her to endure humiliation for their family’s supposed shortcomings.
Despite the pain, Adur exhausted herself trying to maintain peace for the sake of her children. Life grew unbearable as jealousy and disdain festered. When Adur’s love for her children remained steadfast, the impending birth of Obby's child sparked fear instead of elation in Adur, and her world felt further threatened.
