"Sis, I get it."
Yolanda's voice carried a tinge of despondency.
Hearing her, Carol's heart sank even further.
She had always been close with this cousin, and this time, the Miller family's troubles, with her uncle playing a significant role in them, couldn't ultimately drive a wedge between her and Yolanda.
Yolanda had always been into what the boys liked: bungee jumping, racing, ice skating—and she was quite good at them, though not quite championship level. Still, among the average folks, she put on quite a show.
"The money's in your account; use it as you need to. And don't worry about Uncle's mess anymore."
The word was that Uncle had been double-crossed in a deal with Felix, and it had sent him over the edge. He'd become violent towards Yolanda and even started doubting if she was his own flesh and blood.
Abner has only one daughter, Carol, and Yolanda is the only child of her family. But now, her father is becoming paranoid about having an illegitimate son outside.
He even called Carol, but Carol, harboring resentment towards him for colluding with Felix, didn’t answer.
"Yolanda, Uncle's talking about having a son out there. You know anything about that?"
Instant silence on the line told Carol the issue was more complicated than it seemed.
"Yolanda?"
"Sis, let's not get into this. I'll handle it, okay? Maybe we should keep our distance for a while. I appreciate everything you've done, but Felix has been sending me warnings. I gotta hang up now."
Carol was anxious, but the call had been cut.
She tried redialing, only to find out she'd been blocked. Had Yolanda blocked her?

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
