It could not, life seems to do that.

Just a few months before Vixxen's 19th birthday, Robert's health began to fail. As his health deteriorated they spent more time cuddling than having sex. She still sucked his dick when he got an erection, however, that became all he could manage, and eventually, he could no longer manage a full erection.

Nikki was around a lot more, and the mood was a lot less upbeat. They found out that Robert had late-stage cancer, which was diagnosed late. It was not treatable or operable. It was just a matter of time. It was in his pancreas and in his lymph nodes, there was nothing to do but try and help him to be comfortable.

Robert only lasted a couple of months after diagnosis, his health failing quickly, passing away at home. Vixxen had been caring for him and found his body, she was crushed. She had never known love like this before and had never met a better man, and lost it as she texted Nikki and then called 911.

Nikki and Vixxen were both devastated. They had a lovely funeral, where his second ex-wife, Nikki’s stepmom, attended and sat in the family section with Nikki. Vixxen was told to sit in a visitor section and was not even allowed a close seat.

When they got back to his house for the family gathering, Robert's ex-wife told Vixxen to take her things and leave, right then. Nikki thought she was going to get the house, however, Robert's ex-wife had her lawyer there and the most recent will, and let her know she was wrong.

Nikki's dad had not amended his will, leaving his second ex-wife as the full beneficiary, and after his **** she took everything. It seemed he had never coped with losing his second wife until he met Vixxen, and had not considered financial matters much during their romance. He had struggled mentally with it, and had never truly accepted it was over. To him changing the will was final, and he was fairly young.

He had enough money not to worry, and he didn’t worry. His lawyer thought Vixxen was just in it for the money, so he never suggested changing anything, and it was assumed that Nikki’s stepmom would take care of her.

That assumption was wrong.

Payment for Nikki's tuition was ended immediately, the house and everything in it were sold, as was the car. Nikki’s stepmom, having left him for another man, had not gotten along well with Nikki after that, harmed her in every way she could during the process. She hated Vixxen for being with her ex-husband, not caring that she had made him happy, actually she despised her for it.

The only saving grace for them was that the off-campus apartment Nikki's father had arranged had been leased for the year and placed in Nikki’s name. Other bills would be due, but at least Nikki had a place to stay. But Nikki had no income, she had never worked.

Tuition had been paid by the semester, but a new one was starting and payment was now due, and was a very large amount.

Vixxen moved back in with Nikki and started looking for work for some quick money. Nikki had never worked a day in her life, and Vixxen had little experience to draw on. Vixxen was not going back to Hooters, knowing what had happened before with the old manager, the owner would never let her back in. They had nearly closed with the scandal and might still for legal problems.

She had made money for her father, but Vixxen was not going to consider that, there had to be another way. Not prostitution.
