Chapter 1

Shaun Harrison came home with Jaxon Harrison in the middle of the night. I sat on the couch and checked the time. It was 12:05 a.m. I nervously said, “Please don’t keep Jaxon out so late. He has school tomorrow.” Jaxon looked annoyed. “No one cares about that, so why do you?” “I…” I wanted to say it was because I was his mother, and only a mother would care. But I felt mentally exhausted to say anything, so I stayed silent. Jaxon yawned, and Shaun took him back to his room. The whole time, Shaun did not even look at me. Then, he went straight into his room and closed the door. I sat on the couch, stared at the papers on the coffee table, and was lost in thought. Maybe letting go was the best choice. With that thought, I gathered my courage and knocked on Shaun’s door. “Come in.” I heard his cold voice and took a deep breath. I instinctively tightened my grip on the papers. When Shaun saw me, he frowned. “What’s wrong?” His room smelled of women’s per

Reina saw me with my suitcase and frowned. “Did Shaun send you back?” I did not deny it. Stella felt awkward and let go of my suitcase. “Quiana, did you and Shaun have some kind of misunderstanding? “I saw him this afternoon, and he seemed fine. “He was in a good mood, and Jaxon—” She realized she messed up, so she quickly covered her mouth and looked at me anxiously. “Quiana, I didn’t mean to hide that I met Shaun. “It’s just that Jaxon missed me. He wanted to see me, and I couldn’t say no.” I forced out a smile. “It’s no big deal.” Reina heard that and seemed to understand what had happened. So, she said, “Stella, go upstairs. I need to talk to your sister alone.” Stella nodded softly, and Mrs. Wilson took her away. Only Reina and I were in the big living room. She gestured for me to sit down. I got restless as I sat down on the couch. She calmly made a cup of tea and sipped it slowly. I could not sit still anymore, so she finally said, “Can’t you

Chapter 3

Stella wore a beautiful dress, and her skin looked perfect. On the other hand, I had dry hair, a pale face, and rough hands covered in calluses. I suddenly felt very insecure and hid behind Mrs. Wilson. But I could feel my real mother looking at me with disdain. “Just settle in for now. Let me know if you need anything.” After saying that, she took Stella’s hand and went upstairs. After that, life in the Johnston family was rough for me. I was practically invisible. Nobody cared about me. They thought I was disrupting the family’s peace. But I was her real daughter. Why did she treat me like this? I wondered about this for many years but could never figure it out. I was tired of thinking about it and had come to accept it. If I could not figure it out, then I would stop trying. Not everything in life needed an answer. The next day, I visited my adoptive mother in the hospital. She was still in a coma. I sat by her bed and held her hand. I hoped to fi

“How can you call yourself a mother? Jaxon was in the hospital for mango allergy, and you didn’t even check on him! “Why didn’t you tell Stella that Jaxon is allergic to mangoes? How would she know about such things? “Do you know that Stella was so worried that she cried yesterday? What kind of sister are you?” He blamed me nonstop. Maybe because I had been bottling up my feelings for too long, I could not hold back my anger anymore. “Doesn’t Jaxon know he’s allergic to mangoes? He insisted on eating it. What was I supposed to do? “Jaxon is your son too. Shouldn’t you have told Stella about his allergy? “Also, we’re getting divorced. You told me I didn’t need to visit him anymore. “Shaun, did you forget about that?” Shaun’s face darkened. “You’re impossible.” “Well, congratulations! Now you can finally get rid of this impossible wife.” … The process was quick. After finishing the paperwork, he walked out of the courthouse and drove away without a second though

Chapter 5

No matter how much Shaun called after me, I did not look back. After I got to the hospital and spoke with the doctor about my mother’s condition, he sighed in concern. “Your mother’s illness is quite rare. We’ve done our best. “If she doesn’t wake up this year, there’s a good chance that…” I fell silent. I already knew the answer deep down, so when I heard the bad news, I did not react too strongly. “This year?” I had lost everything this year. It looked like I was about to lose my only family too. After thinking for a while, the doctor advised me against transferring her to another hospital. “Mrs. Johnston has arranged for the best doctor in Soriah for your mother. Under her care, there might still be hope. If she’s moved to Jorath, there won’t be any hope left at all.” I listened to his advice. I thanked the doctor and got ready to leave. But when I stepped outside, I saw Reina standing at the door. I did not know how long she had been there. When Reina sa

I managed a bitter smile. “Shaun, I don’t want any answers from you or anyone else anymore. I only want you all to leave me alone. “I mean it.” Shaun’s lips twitched, and his hands shook. “I’m sorry. I broke my promise. When you suddenly said you wanted a divorce, I agreed out of anger. I thought you’d come back to me soon enough. “I never thought about how you felt. Quiana, I promise I only see Stella as a sister. I’ve never liked her in that way. Jaxon is just acting out because you’ve always been controlling. He still cares about you.” Hearing Shaun’s excuses made me feel sick. I was exhausted and looked at him wearily. “Just go away. I don’t want to hear your excuses.” “Mom?” Just then, a Maybach pulled up, and two people got out. Jaxon was holding Stella’s hand as they walked over. I suddenly remembered that this bus stop was near Jaxon’s school. Jaxon pursed his lips. “Mom, I was wrong that day. I shouldn’t have said that and made you angry.” Stella look

Chapter 7

Stella tried to hold onto Shaun’s arm, but he pulled away. He embarrassed her in front of everyone. Her ego made her tear up right away. “I would like to say something. My wife can’t be here today because she’s sick. Please excuse her. “The rumors online about our divorce are completely false.” Seeing that made me feel sick. I turned off the TV and went to sleep. The next day, I got ready and went to the hospital. While cleaning my mother’s body, I heard someone knock on the door in urgency. It was Shaun. I tried to close the door, but he blocked it with his arm. “Quiana, you need to listen to me!” he said urgently. “Jaxon is hurt! He’s in the room next door!” I only saw then that Shaun’s hands were covered in blood. As a mother, I could not just ignore that. I quickly followed Shaun into the next room. When I entered, Jaxon ran up to me and hugged me. “Mom! You came to see me!” Jaxon was in a hospital gown, but he looked healthy. He did not seem sick at

Chapter 8

“It’s no use. With her condition… Ms. Johnston, you should go see her. It might be the last time.” For a moment, I felt dizzy. I could hardly hear anything, and my head was throbbing. “Quiana, pull yourself together!” I could barely hear Shaun calling me. I forced myself to lean onto the wall for support and walked to my mother’s hospital room. She was still sleeping. “Mom, wake up.” I gently touched her cheek. My mom and I had escaped from the mountains. She was a college student who had been kidnapped. However, she could not have her own children. They mistreated her and threatened her life. When I was just a baby, I was taken away and given to her to raise as her own. Years later, she risked everything to escape with me. She knew I was taken from Soriah, so she brought me back here. When I was young, we did not have enough money for food, but she always gave me her share. When I could not afford school, she sold everything she had to pay for my tuition.
