Our story will return with our adorable toddlers now in their children stage forming who they are, who they want to be, who they want to be friends with… and who they don’t. They will see their family for who they really are… kids are always watching.
#TheBaldwins

Home alone, Victoria’s life was falling apart and there was nothing she could do to stop it. Her heart couldn’t forgive Otto. And she didn’t believe in “staying for the kids” all she could do now was take it one day at a time.
#TheBaldwins

Victoria left for work and took Landon over to her mother’s where Zara was trusted to watch him, Otto wasted no time in writing an apology statement to his wife, to his family, to his company etc. He was brutally honest and open. And it was met with acceptance.
#TheBaldwins

*Not this cutie pie in the high chair. I’m talking about Otto’s lather. Iykyk

By morning, Otto woke up on the couch. Victoria got Landon fed and ready. “Morning.” He said, voice hoarse from crying all night. She just nodded. He reached for Landon to be met with the same coldness. This scandal ruined his family. Like father like son…
#TheBaldwins

V: I… can’t forgive you right now. You broke my heart. You cheated and you lied to me. I just need time.

O: I’m so sorry. I never wanted to hurt you. Take the time you need just please don’t go.

Victoria went upstairs. Locked her door. And went to bed…
#TheBaldwins

Otto: I felt… lonely but I didn’t want to come between you and your family finding you. You were so happy and she flirted with me and I flirted back and she got attached and treated to expose us. I didn’t know what to do. I hoped it’d just go away on its own.
#TheBaldwins

V: I work hard for us. For you. And all I asked in return was just to be here. Fully. How long has this been going on?

O: Babe…

V: Answer me or I’ll have my mom ask her. Maybe Major. You know what my family is capable of.

O: When that royal woman arrived…
#TheBaldwins

O: Babe, I promise. It was a… laps of judgement. Just flirting that went too far. It’s over.

V: Was I not enough? Was I doing something wrong? Or not doing something?

O: No! No. You’re the perfect woman and mother and wife. I just made a stupid mistake.
#TheBaldwins

And she’s not even on the same level as Victoria like Otto wtf lmfao

Victoria put Landon to bed and walked downstairs where Otto pleaded his case. “It meant nothing. It was a stupid fucking mistake. Nothing really happened between us. Nothing physical. I promise.”

V: Your promises don’t really mean shit to me. You chose her over me.
#TheBaldwins

Victoria returned home alone from the party. She needed a moment to remind herself what was important in her life. And there he was. The light of her lie. Landon greeted her with joyful open arms. “Oh sweetie.”

Downstairs the door closed. Otto was home… “Babe…”
#TheBaldwins

Alveeta and Sofia chatted on the side since teens aren’t able to participate in royal dances. But that doesn’t mean they didn’t sit around picking up on all of the drama. “We will unpack over the phone.” Alberta said.

Sofia: Girl, yes we will.
#TheBaldwins

Done and done. Vivian anonymously spread the scandal and it spread like a gossip girl fire. The ball was perfect. People are talking and what’s a little fun without some drama. Unfortunately it hurt someone she grew to love. Nothing she can’t help heal.
#TheBaldwins

Victoria: Since I’m not enough for him. Ruin his fucking life.

And in that moment… Victoria made a decision. A broken hearted decision that could ruin Otto…
#TheBaldwins

Viv: Please don’t hate me.

Vic: I don’t. I’m… thank you for telling me. If it gets out… so fucking be it. I’m done.

Victoria cried.

Viv: Listen to me. You are an amazing, smart, beautiful woman. You deserve that in a man. One that won’t hurt you. What can I do?
#TheBaldwins

Vivian told Victoria about Otto’s affair. “I found this out last night I didn’t want to ruin today and I really didn’t want you to find out publicly which I feel my evil sister might do.”

Victoria didn’t say a word. She just stood there. Rage building inside.
#TheBaldwins

Vivian: I came across some information that is very… unsettling and heartbreaking.

Victoria: Okay… you’re triggering my anxiety and with my family that’s not hard to do. What’s wrong?

Vivian: Well…
#TheBaldwins

Vivian hurried to Victoria. “Hey love. You’re so pretty. I’m glad it looks great.”

Vic: When I opened it I immediately fell in love. Thank you. Hey, your sister said I’ll see soon. What did she mean?

Viv: I need to speak to you privately. Follow me.
#TheBaldwins

Jawara walked over and took a look at Victoria. “So you’re the prodigal family member? Couldn’t keep your own family together so you take mine.”

Victoria: Excuse me?

J: Don’t worry. You’ll see soon.

Zara, overheard and took notes. This bitch was a threat.
#TheBaldwins

It was time for the dance. While some partnered up, others stood on the side and watched. Emilio and his wife owned the dance floor. “What is Jawara doing here?”

Viv: To make us uneasy. Don’t stress about it. She may look like she’s waging war, but I AM war.
#TheBaldwins

Emilio: Someone has been practicing.

Victoria: Guilty. Just was excited and wanted to be somewhat good.

E: You’re doing great.

He looked over and saw Jawara. “Excuse me, please.”

V: Of course.
#TheBaldwins

Jawara: Don’t worry. I’m not here to harm anyone. But I will say you now stand alone. No one will ally themselves with you.

Vivian: I’d be shocked that you’d go after family, but you’re no longer family. Enjoy my families party though. Just be careful of that mouth.
#TheBaldwins

Just before they danced, an unexpected and uninvited guest arrived to declare her place amongst the royals. Her own house. Decorated in her house colored of red and gold. Queen Jawara. “Hello… sister.” She hissed.

Vivian turned around in shock.
#TheBaldwins

Major: So, this is what we are. Royalty. I could make this a great home.

Victoria: No. Major. They are family. Blood. Our blood.

M: Our blood. You kept this from us to have all to yourself.

V: What? I didn’t-

M: Blood tho. Right.

Major scoffed, walking away.
#TheBaldwins

Vivian, Emilio and their daughter Alveeta greeted the guests while they all mixed and mingled. Zara turned heads as she embraced the culture and power of her family. “God l, you look exquisite.” Vivian complimented.

Zara: Thank you. You the same. As always.
#TheBaldwins

The time has come.. the Ball. And everyone got dressed up and everyone got all dressed up and ready to mingle amongst new faces. A celebration of bringing families together. Different worlds all under one roof.
#TheBaldwins

In her busy day of travel, Vivian stopped by a bar for a little drink. That’s when she ran into Lawrence. And his loose lips spilled hot tea… Otto cheating on Victoria. How juicy. Vivian exchanged socials, said her goodbyes, and left back home.
#TheBaldwins

V: There will be food, drinks, lots of dancing and socializing. You’ll love it. See you soon. And I really love your home. It’s so… eccentric.

Vivian complimented as she walked out. Everything was in place for her ball. Now to get the palace ready.
#TheBaldwins

Last on her list of stops was Alejandro. “So what do you say? Will you be joining us?” Vivian asked after getting to know them a bit.

Dro: I’ll be there. It’ll be fun. And nice to see more family.

Christine: It sounds like a dream.

V: Good. I can’t wait.
