Heyyy!
Okay. My question is a bit long and could be considered several questions in one XD.
First of all. THE HOWARDS. Devon and Imani are literally the characters I've played the most, along with Hasan, and their story interests me a lot.
First. Canonically, how is Mark's infidelity discovered? It says a reporter found out, but how? Maybe they took a picture, or saw him going into the house he was paying for Ali to stay in a lot. Or maybe a cameraman at a Coldplay concert XD.
Second. Clearly, Mark was the one who lost out. I mean, he let himself get caught, so he had to take all the responsibility for the infidelity. But what was the process like publicly for Imani? In Devon's bot, she says she was indifferent to all of it, but in front of the media, she must have told her side of the story, maybe one of sadness or disappointment in Mark.
Along with this comes the question of how all of this affected Imani personally, specifically with {{user}}? Perhaps she was stressed by the situation or completely happy to be free of the marriage.
Third. Devon's bot indicates that Imani didn't want custody, so Mark took Devon. Is there a reason for her being so cold? I mean, yes, she doesn't like children very much, but it did make me sad :') In that case, how often did Devon and Imani see each other? Perhaps for visits every weekend (although I think Mark took Devon to another country) or during vacations.
Fourth. What is Mark and Imani's relationship like now? Is it still mutual hatred, or perhaps now that they no longer have to be together out of obligation, they've found a way to get along decently for Devon's sake? And also, do Imani and Ali know each other? Not from photos, but perhaps they've spoken at some point, do they grudgingly respect each other, or do they simply despise each other silently?
Fifth and most important. What's become of Imani? Mark and Ali got married, of course. But was Imani able to be with her {{user}}? They might be married now, but where do they live? Maybe a child, though I doubt it.
Well. I think I've gone on for too long. But this family just melts my heart. Imani was one of my first bots on your account, and I adored it. Then, when the squirrel in my head was quick enough to recognize Devon in his upgraded Halloween bot, I was like, "Oh my God!" And now I love both the mother and the child.
I understand that maybe you didn't think through many of these questions or they aren't very relevant. But I would love it if you answered them, and I don't know, maybe an alt bot of Imani... Just saying 🤤.
Well, Happy New Year! May it be a year of health and many stories from your beautiful mind. Thank youuuu! I love youuuu.

No worries twin, you're totally fine! Actually, most of these questions I have thought of as the are part of other bots, so it makes it easy! Lol I will try to get them all!
1) A friend of Ali's get into a argument with him that end badly, I haven't picked of what but most of the time I think of it as over money as Ali is obviously connected to a wealthy man. Ali friend finds the folders of photos He likes to take with Mark and stole them—mostly just as a way to frighten Ali a little. That's how the report finds it as I had intended to make a bot with the reporter trying to get close with {{user}} to find information. I know most {{char}}'s don't want to play villianese {{Char}} which is why so lose.
2) The reporter leaves the {{user}} (of that bot), and reveals all the photos and information. He gets his few moments of fame, hiding away in witness protection, but the Albrechts will get him in revenge and kill him. (The beginning of Friedrich Albrechts bot if I don't change his name 😝) however, damage is obviously done.
3) Truly, Imani didn't give a shit about the affair as she had knew about it. However, she did ham it up pretending to be torn apparently for camera sake so it could help boost her career for a bit. Nobody knew of Imani and {{user}} at all, as they were much more secretive.
She wasn't really stress, and mark was more so just annoyed as they both knew they had the family—and backing of families like the Morelli and Albrechts too not be completely ruined. They were more so happy to end the relationship finally, which is why he moved Ali and Hasan in so quickly with the Scandal.
No reason, main reason. Imani truly just is not a maternal person, plus her traveling does not leave much time for child rearing. She loves Devon, but knows that sort of mothering isn't for here and she doesn't want another. Mark had always been the one more interested in tending to children, so he often did the messier activities with Devon in his younger years like playing basketball, school events etc. Imani mostly did financial/hands-off things like teaching him fashion, teaching certain lessons like stranger danger or explaining his questions honestly. It's a other thing they argue about on who makes who a "better" parent as Mark believed he gave much more bonding/quality time. While Imani thinks she teaching him life lessons. They both have very different parenting styles, Mark is very overbearing, and still is. Imani is very passive, they had both agreed that I'd they ever divorced kids will go to Mark long before Devon was born.
4) After the divorce, he still saw Imani constantly as she still lived in the estate. However, that just made him act out more as he didn't understand why she could be so passive, say she won't take custody but at like everything is fine. Neither was purposefully trying to be cruel, but they didn't really see a reason for Imani to leave as she still traveled often and assumed Devon will still want to 'see' both parents.
5) Mark and Imani still hate each other, as they have always said cruel things to each other while arguing. They were never a good match, not even as friends and cannot stand what the other signifies. However, even though they hate each other, they ironically have the deepest bond as they know each other best. They will help each other but fight like cats and dog doing it. They pretend to get along together in public still for the sake of Devon and reputation. But still bicker, just not as childishly.
6) Imani knows Ali as he lives with them, Imani's {{user}} also lives in the estate too. Imani and Mark do not think it's awkward, Ali and Imani's wife definitely had issues at the start—as Mark and Imani still have business together but everyone still pretty faithful on their relationship. Definitely no children—from either side. The most likely to want another child, even if just adopting would be Mark, but he doesn't want his Devon to hate him anymore. He is already an overbearing type of parent, but when Devon was younger he tried K--ling himself which is why Mark is so intensely overbearing now but completely sucks at communicating. That will be shown more in his bots in the future, but since writing in the pov or thought process of Devon both Imani and Mark feels much more overbearing or passive too him.
