Chapter 1: Unstable Beginnings


Many generations ago, the first Huynh, Saki Huynh, moved into Pleasentville and not long after met her husband Christopher. Over the years and generations that flew by, the family has expanded in wealth and in size. Saki Huynh was the owner of the poorest house in Pleasentville, but her family has grown to become the richest family in town. Many of the citizens of Pleasentville are descendants of Saki and Christopher Huynh and thus have taken over much of the town. The current head family lives on the outskirts of town in the Huynh mansion, the biggest mansion in Pleasentville that resembles a traditional Japanese castle. This part of the family owns many of the buildings downtown and collects large revenue weekly.

The head of the household is Mike Huynh. His story is much like the rest of the members of this large family, full of turmoil, lies, and cheats. His first wife, Kacey Huynh, was caught cheating when he discovered she was pregnant by his cousin, Clark Huynh. Rightfully so, divorce soon followed after, and willfully, Kacey took her newborn daughter, Megan, and her new lover to a small house on the other side of town. So not to ruin the lives of his twin daughters, Jessica and Maria, because of their mother's distrustful behavior, they were permitted to stay. Mike quickly found new love with Irene and remarried.
Not long after the wedding, one of Mike's younger brothers, Matthew, tried to start a romantic relationship with Irene. Needless to say, the two were immediately on bad terms since Matthew's “play time” knows no bounds. After the little incident, Matthew met his first “play toy", Bridgett Huynh, and on the same day, she found herself pregnant after a date at the nearby hotel. Mike continued to try and establish a sound family and soon Irene gave birth to their first child, Kyo Huynh. Eager to expand again,
Mike and Irene have yet another baby on the way. This time they’re hoping for a baby girl. As Mike and Irene try to bring new life into the world, Jessica tries to bring new money into her own. Much like her uncle, Matthew, Jessica has plans of her own when it comes to relationships. Never wanting to be poor when her time comes for marriage, she visits the neighbors, the Leggett’s. At first things seemed to go well for Jessica. Delbert, the son of the Leggett household and her classmate, became close friends at school and eventually started to come home with one another to do homework. As their friendship began to climb so did their interests in one another, only Jessica was too late. When she was ready to begin a relationship with him, she immediately found out Delbert was dating Fatima Huynh. Despite this, Jessica was determined to marry Delbert. She spent the night at his house, and the two conversed all night long. Eventually Jessica was able to convince Delbert to break up with Fatima. Being the mischievous devil that she is, since she stole someone else's man, Jessica became enemies with Fatima. Jessica and Delbert still have yet to go on their first date, but according to Jessica it won't be long now. Unlike her sister, Maria is more family oriented. Many days she can be found spending time with her other uncle's family, Matthew's twin brother, Bryan. She loves spending time with the kids and her new aunt. Maria doesn't have many friends since she spends more time with her family than outsiders, but she is content nevertheless. Although this may be true, there is reason as to why Maria is never home. When she doesn't want to visit her cousins, Maria is always out after curfew getting drinks,
working out at the gym (and meeting others there too), as well as lashing out at home. All of her misbehavior is because of the broken home she comes from. She has a womanizer for an uncle, a gold digging sister, a father who's very happy with his new family, a stepmother who doesn't acknowledge her, and a mother who has completely abandoned her. Maria may do well in school, but it's only to ensure no one will ask questions. With so many issues haunting the family, it is hard to believe they have come so far, but such is the story of a Huynh.
