Arranged Marriage to Mr.CEO

Chapter 6

Should I answer?

before I answered my phone, it went to voicemail. My phone was on vibrate mode so I turned the volume up. "How could a heart like yours? Ever love a heart like mine? How could i live before? How could i have been so blind? You opened up my eyes.." My ringtone played my favorite song. Then again, it was my mom.

"Hello?"

"Kaitlyn, I wanted to talk to you."

"Okay, what is it?"

"Please meet me at the Cafe near 5th street in 20 minutes."

"okay."

"Are you okay? you sound sick."

"Why would you care?" I snapped.

"Kaitlyn I-"

"I have to go, see you soon."and with that, I ended our conversation. I sighed in frustration knowing that I have to see my mom in less than 20 minutes. I didn't feel good and I really didn't want to go onfront my mom after the big scene I had made yesterday. Shit. I pulled myself back together and walked upstairs to my luggage. I quickly put my jeans on and kept my hoodie on. I slipped into my converse and grabbed my car keys and bag. I let my long wavy brown hair down and put my glasses on. I walked out the penthouse and went straight to my car. I refused to leave my car back at home, I wanted my car. Mrs.landis was worried that i might runaway but I wouldn't do that because I knew i'd regret it so I drived myself to jake's penthouse. I followed Mrs.Landis's chauffeur so I wouldn't get lost. Now here I am, on my way to confront the person that hated me the most. My mom. I turned at a curve to park my car. As I parked, I noticed that i was only seconds away from seeing her again. I wasn't mentally prepared for this. I banged my head on the steering wheel trying to wake up from a horrible dream but this was real life. I got out my car and walked to the main entrance. I opened my door and there she was. She saw me and stood up, "Kaitlyn, We need to talk."

"You think?"

"I'm truly sor-."

"No mom, I didn't come here for you to apologize or pity me," I cut her off.

"Please just listen. Please. Look, I'm here right now and I want to apologize for everything. I mean everything. Yesterday you made me realize several things I never did. I failed as your mother and I'll never forgive myself for that. Instead of being your mother, I was being a rude nasty person.. with my own daughter. I never treated your brother like that but I did treat you that way. I realized that all those times I could've been there for you, i threw those times to waste and i'll never be able to take back time to make it all right. I can't believe myself. It's too late to try to gain the love of my daughter again. Honey, when you were young. Your dad's company was collapsing. He started drinking everyday and night. I didn't know what to do anymore. A couple days after that, my dad past away and I didn't have the support from your dad. I was falling apart and I didn't know what to do. Your brother kinda knew what was going on but I was there for him more than I was for you. Then Mr.Landis well Michael, Helped us get back together. He helped your dad's business get back to the top and helped your dad with his drinking problem and for that I am truly thankful. Without their help, I don't know where we would be right now.. But My mistakes are killing me. I know it's too late for you to forgive me but I love you so much honey and that'll never change. Please, I hope that one day you can forgive me." My mom then started hysterically crying which lead to sobs.

I stood up and went and wrapped my arms around her.

"Mom, I forgive you. Please don't cry."

"Oh Honey, Thank you so much. I know that I did you wrong and failed on you and i'll always regret it for the rest of my life. I know you hate me, if I were in your position.. I'd hate myself too."

"Of course not! I don't hate you at all. Even though we never had a tight relationship, you brought me to life, made sure I had a roof over my head, made sure I had something to eat everyday, made sure I had clothes, and for that i am truly thankful. I love you so much mom and that will never change. It's never too late to start again yanno," I giggled as I began to wipe mine and my mom's tears away.

My mom then hugged me tighter than Iv'e ever been hugged before.

This was the start of something beautiful.
