Victoria and Jacob caused shockwaves in the village last year when residents discovered that they had embarked on a romantic relationship. Jacob’s dad David was particularly concerned and heartbroken as he genuinely believed that he and Victoria were going to get back together.
After weeks of Jacob and Victoria trying to hide their true feelings for one another, things went downhill when David saw them secretly kissing. Seeing the pair embrace left David shattered, so much so that he decided to leave the village for good.
Last week, Jacob received news that his father had no plans in returning to the village any time soon. What came as even more of surprise to Jacob was that David decided to sell his home.
This meant that Jacob was left out in the cold with nowhere to go. And with Leyla not willing to take him in, Jacob felt anxious.
