Chapter 3

Author: Perfect Timing
My very first birthday took place in the mountains. Quiana had planned it for me.

My mom never once celebrated my birthday before. She treated me like a tool to win Dad over, yet she hated the fact that he had married her because of me.

It was the first real birthday I had ever had.

As fireworks filled the night sky, I saw my dad and Quiana lock eyes.

True love really did not need schemes. Just by being there, my dad was already drawn closer to Quiana.

But as he tried to move nearer, Quiana stepped back.

“Mindy is still your wife.”

I knew that as long as my dad did not divorce my mom, she would always be their biggest obstacle. That was true before, and it was true again.

I purposely stepped into a mud puddle and asked Quiana to give me a bath.

My mom never let the nanny bathe me. She always did it herself.

No one knew about all the bruises and needle marks covering my body.

When Quiana saw me, her gasps brought my dad running from outside.

Quiana wrapped a towel around me and left only the marks on my arms visible.

“There are more marks on other parts of her body.”

My dad grabbed my arm and coldly asked, “Who did this?”

I pointed to the faint scars on my arms.

“One time, you didn’t come home for dinner. Mom was very angry.”

I pointed to the cluster of needle marks.

“These are from the days you didn’t eat the breakfast Mom made for you.”

I rubbed my stomach through the towel.

“And the marks on my belly… those are because you forgot Mom’s birthday.”

…

My dad stiffened up at every word I said.

A cold edge flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, “A fake death, huh? Then, I’ll do as she wants.”

My dad immediately told his assistant to arrange for my mom’s death certificate. He also canceled all her extra cards.

I hugged Quiana’s neck tightly. “I want Ms. Sullivan to sleep with me.”

As my dad turned to leave, I grabbed his hand.

“I also want you to tell me a story, Dad.”

Dad told the story. He could barely keep his eyes open. Outside, the night was filled with the sound of insects.

Quiana gently stroked my hair. I saw myself reflected in her eyes.

“Ms. Sullivan, will you be my mom?”

A faint blush appeared on her face.

I stole a glance at Dad, who was pretending to sleep. A faint smile appeared on his face.

When we got home, my mom’s things had already been thrown out.

Quiana stayed for a while, but then got up to leave.

I grabbed her hand and whispered, “Ms. Sullivan, I’ll help you be my mom.”

She froze for a moment. I pouted at Dad, acting like a spoiled princess.

“Dad, if Ms. Sullivan isn’t with me, I’ll have nightmares at night. I always dream that Mom pinches me and hits me.”

    My mom had aged drastically. Even though she was still middle-aged, gray had started to show at her temples.Ten years had passed. I no longer hated her. I could face the pain she had caused me, but I could not forgive her.When I heard she had been calling my name over and over, I decided to go see her.“I’m here.”I sat across from her. When I looked into her eyes, I felt calm.My mom was hunched over. When she heard my voice, she lifted her head carefully.The shock in her eyes grew stronger and stronger.By the time she realized who I was, all that remained was a trace of defiance.“It has really been so long,” she muttered.She kept her head down and avoided my gaze.“What do you want from me?”Suddenly, I felt like I should not have come.“Jane, I remember that you should’ve been dead long ago.”She laughed and lifted her head to stare at me. The cold, sinister smile was exactly the same as it had been ten years ago.The way she looked at me reminded me of that da

More and more people came over.A faint smile appeared on her face.She looked like a wife whose husband had been stolen by a homewrecker. She cried, “Hayden, I know this woman has blinded you. I don’t blame you for seeing someone else behind my back. But you can’t take my daughter away. Don’t you understand that a child is the most precious thing to a mother?”I watched her cry.It was probably the first time she had ever cried for me, but only to make her act convincing.Many parents whispered to each other. Some of them even recognized her.I remembered the first day I started kindergarten. Back then, my parents had pretend

    My mom was gone from our lives for a long time.Just when I thought she would never appear again, I saw her on parent-child day at my kindergarten.She wore plain clothes. The jewelry she used to wear was gone.When she looked at me, her eyes lit up. She hurried over and handed me a small cake.“Jane, nobody came to take you to the parent-child day, right? I came. I made you a mango cake. It’s your favorite, isn’t it?”A chill ran through me.After playing pretend for so long, she had really forgotten the truth.I was allergic to mango.The first time she ever tried to feed me mango, the doctor told her about my allergy.That day, when she saw me covered in hives and learned I was allergic, her eyes became sharp and cold.“How could you be like that woman? She doesn’t eat mango either!”She forced the mango into my mouth. “So, you’re allergic? Eat more, and you won’t be allergic anymore!”I had a high fever that night from eating so much mango.But she did not stop. Every

    My mom stared at the document. Her eyes looked like they could burn through the paper.“This is impossible. It can’t be real.”She shook her head jerkily and held the document up toward my dad.“Hayden, are you still angry? Are you mad at me for leaving and faking my death? Is that why you made this document to trick me?”My dad looked at her with a cold expression.“Hayden, I love you so much. I really didn’t do it on purpose. Please forgive me. “I just wanted to test you.”My mom’s pitiful expression seemed to reach his heart. I feared my dad might give in, so I walked over and gently held onto her dress.“Mom, when you went out with Mr. Lewis, was it also part of testing Dad?”Her eyes changed instantly. She shoved me hard with a twisted expression.I fell backward, hit the floor and cried out in pain.My dad’s expression darkened. He raised his hand and called the bodyguards.My mom ignored her manners and grabbed my dad’s clothes. She begged him desperately.“Hayden,
