Chapter 42

Allysa pov

She is the real victim? Is she kidding me right now? I went through a terrible trauma as a child and she is telling me that she is the victim and not me?

Well, let's hear what she gotta say.

"Yes mom, tell me why?" I said

"I will tell you a little story. Once upon a time there were two best friends. They loved each other like no one else does. They were both poor but they didn't care, they had many plans for future but all that went down the drain when they got into high school. They both fell for the same guy without knowing. The guy was rich and had everything. The guy fell in love with girl B, and girl A was left with a broken heart, but all in all she chose to support their relationship. The girl A envied her best friend because she was pampered and loved so much, but she had to pretend to not care. Years went by and finally they all graduated and everyone went on with their life. Girl A decided to date another guy and they had a son immediately. Girl B and her boyfriend didn't rush things, they went to college and after, they got married. It was a bigger wedding to ever happen in that year. They started living together but years went by and they couldn't have a child. Because girl B was having a heart problems. So, because they were rich, they decided to go for a surrogate. Who is a better mother for them than her best friend? So, girl B reached for girl A and asked her for help. She promised her ton of cash to carry their children and girl A couldn't resist since she was poor and struggling with a son. Process were done quickly and finally girl A carried her best friend's child. But she was happy atleast she could carry that man's child. Nine months passed and a baby girl was born. Girl A handed her to her best friend and they became whole. They were happy, but their happiness couldn't last long since girl B suddenly her health got worse and she died leaving her six months old child. The man was devastated, he couldn't raise a child alone and that's when girl A took the chance and offered to raise the child with him as friends. But later on friendship turned into relationship and girl A run away from her boyfriend and son to get married with her deceased best friend's husband. Years went by but girl A never got that man's love. It was like she was there to raise a kid not as a wife. The man refused to have another child with her and he was always talking about his dead wife, comparing the poor woman with his dead wife like everyday, but the woman took it all in and decided to fight for her love. Maybe the man will love her someday. But he didn't. He didn't love her back until his last breath, he called the name of his dead wife. The man died with too much sorrow and left girl A with his daughter. And that's when the woman decided to take back his family that she ran away from years ago. This time her son was already 16 but he didn't know that the girl A was his real mother"

I was loss for words. I'm sure everyone was too.

"So, what are you trying to tell me? That you were the girl A?"

"Bingo!" She said "you truly are smart like your mother"

"Stop bullshiting me. Tell me the truth" I shouted

"That, is the truth my dear. I'm not your mother. Yes, I carried you but only for your mother's request. I have only two children and that is Ezekiel and Amara, you're an orphan Allysa, both your parents died"

"Even so, you carried me in your womb. We had a connection, why can't you treat me as yours?" I asked now my body was shaking, I didn't expect this kind of story at all.

"I carried you for money, no connection were made. I didn't want to be attached to you since you weren't mine. But, I took you in after your mom died, didn't I? I loved you and your father even when he couldn't love me back. I endured everything, I cooked and did the laundry for you, like a maid I was. You two were ungrateful but I chose to fight for you. I stayed with you even when  your father died. But what did you pay me? You slept with my son and my husband. You got pregnant and made my son fell head over heels for you. He couldn't eat or study without thinking of you and my husband too. Your mother took away the love of my first man and you came to take the love of my second and to top it all, my son too. What did you expect?.that i applause you for stealing the love of my two precious people? I'm telling you now Allysa, I will never forgive you and much less your mother. I hate you both and I hope you follow them up there cause you deserve each other."

"That's enough" Jared shouted cause I was crying like I have never before.

So, this woman here, is really not my mother. Why didn't dad tell me? This is why, I always felt like dad loved me more. This is why she could threw me out of her house and chose them instead. Because they were her real family and not me.

I always felt like she was distant with me but this never crossed my mind. I grew up seeing her, dad never mentioned my real mother, or maybe he did but I was too young to notice. But..

Everything is clear now. Now I know why. This is actually a valid reason for her hatred towards me. I understand now.

"Okay, thank you for telling me. Atleast now the burden and guilt of throwing my own mother in jail is not there. I'm sorry for what happened with my dad and Broody but, if I can't stop you now, you will never stop" I said

"You can never stop me child. I raised you, I know your little heart can't do harm in anyone. As I said, you're just like your mother" she said

"Well, we'll see about that" I smirked

"Let's go Amara. We have a trial.to prepare to." She said and they start walking towards the gates.

I will stop you mother, no matter what. I took my phone and dial a number

"Hello Kai, I need a favor" I said as soon as he picked up

"Again?" He asked

"Yes, again"

"Gosh, I'm scared, cause last time you needed a favor from me your husband almost killed me" he said

"Don't worry, this time he will reward you" I said

You might be wondering why I'm using Kai again when we have Bruce. Well, the answer is obvious. It's because Bruce is in love with Amara, so he can't be trusted at the moment.

Who will win the battle? Allysa vs Mom.

Do you think Amara's mom was the real victim and if yes, is what she is doing okay? Put yourself in her shoes.
