The Shadow

Chapter 20: DNA

Unexpected and harsh revelation

“Truth and harsh realism are never determined by majority opinions, but by a simple divine revelation for a fallen angel...."

The show of the drama ended abruptly. Isabella protectively brought Cami
 with her, who was constantly crying inside the Greenroom. Little Cami hugged her granny and hid her face. "Cami, stop. It’s all over now. See, we are not on the stage anymore. Relax".

Cami hiccupped, listening to this. How would she express herself to them and how she felt, how she was utterly betrayed by her classmates. She tries to take deep breaths when Robert barged into the room with Gabi, who was still in shock that her mother slapped her in front of everyone.

Gabi couldn’t handle her feelings "How dare you? How could you do this?" Isabella, as protective as she is towards, interfered "Don't pretend you don't know anything.

This whole drama was completely directed by Gabi and she intended to hurt Cami. How can she be so cruel?".

Robert instantly interrupted "For god’s sake women, it's just a drama. Do you even know what you did? She is not a kid to whom you can slap anytime you want.".

Isabella was silent until now and carefully noticed Gabi, who had tears in her eyes and was mostly zoned out. Isabella knew out of her anger she crossed the limit. She approached Gabi, when Gabi wiped her tears, ordering, "Apologise to me, mother."

There was a pregnant pause. Isabella, also, badly wanted to apologize, but the way Gabi, demanded it in a cold tone, shook her utterly. Like her mother, she wasn’t the one who gets orders but gives them to her daughter. While she was thinking all these things, she remained completely silent.

"Gabi” Robert gritted his teeth. He knew very well that Gabi is trying very hard to control her rage.

Then, the unexpected happened "Gabi, I’m sorry.” Isabella started to apologize to her daughter because she realized that there is no time or way of explaining to Gabi how rude and demanding she was.

Suddenly Gabi cut her “Not here, mother. In front of everyone. When you can slap me in front of anyone, then you should apologize too. Don't you think Mother?".

Isabella and Marina could sense that something is off with Gabi’s behavior. Robert tried to handle the situation, “Gabi, let's leave. We will talk about this, later, honey. Don’t make things worse than already they are…". 

Gabi wasn’t following orders at this point of her rage and humiliation, so she arrogantly shook her head, looked at Isabella, and then yelled, "Apologise to me, mother. If you don’t, I'll ruin Cami. I'll make it very hard for Cami to breathe in this school. So, fucking apologize."

Isabella gasped and widened her eyes. Then all of a sudden Gabi starting laughing, “What? Why are you looking at me like I cracked some joke? You know what? Don't apologize. You are a pathetic excuse in the name of the mother. How dare you to slap me? Who the hell are you? You thought that you will come into my life and I'll accept you just like that. You are a fucking delusional. I'm not dad, who can never move on."

"Gabi, Stop it, right now.” angrily warned Robert, narrowing his eyes.

“WHY? Why dad? Why?" she looked at Cami, who was looking at her with confusing eyes. Gabi pointed towards Cami "Because of her. This fucking Ugly creature. Do you know Cami, people call you Dami. I'm the one, who gave you this nickname. Dami suits your personality." Gabi’s s eyes glinted with hatred.
