Novel & Cerita Ace Mom

Three days after my mom died, the hospital called. "Mr. Carter, your mother has an outstanding balance of $1,873.60. Please come in and pay it as soon as possible." What? I stared at my mom's body. They had to have the wrong person. I'd paid every bill before she was discharged. She was supposed to be cremated and buried today. How could she still owe money? The person on the phone clicked their tongue. "Her family is responsible for the bill! She received treatment, so someone has to pay for it. It's $1,873.60." "Are you sure that's for Winona Carter?" "Yes. Come quickly."

Our pack’s pups were born with weakened wolf spirits. I paid for their treatment out of my own pocket, only for their mothers to drag me online.They accused me of using the free wolf treatment I provided for their pups to test serums on children from the contaminated zone, making poor families' pups bear the risk for Alpha pups. What they didn't know was that the pack was badly contaminated. Without treatment, those pups would die. To save their wolves, I brought in the best healers and used the best medication and treatment protocols. Care cost more than eight thousand dollars per pup every month, all of it out of my own pocket. Now the entire internet was accusing me of experimenting on pu

After I started college, Mom said she'd send me money in installments. "Lucia, you're an adult now. I want you to learn how to manage money, so I'll give you your living expenses in installments." I figured she meant monthly. Maybe weekly, worst case. Then move-in day came. Mom walked around the cafeteria, checked the prices, and sent $8 to my payment app. I stared at my phone. "Mom, did you send the wrong amount?" She smiled. "Silly girl. That's your lunch money for today. I checked already. Just get the cheapest grab-and-go meal. "From now on, ask me for money before each meal." I froze. So by installments, she didn't mean monthly. Or weekly. She meant one meal at a time. By da

Mom encouraged as she started portioning out pot roast, baby carrots, and potatoes on everyone’s plates. Amelia sent me a nervous look. I nodded, taking her hand to reassure her. “Well, there are some things you will need to understand. So just listen first, and we’ll answer questions after.” I prefaced. “Of course, son. Go ahead.” Dad nodded, looking to mom and Suzie, clearly telling them to hold their questions. “Amelia is from the Gamma family of Madonie. Yes, the same Madonie that was at war with Incubi.” I started to explain.

Mom asks, eyeing Aaron and I, her tongue poking her inner cheek. “Um— who are you?” Aaron asks, looking at me for help. "Aaron is my boss and really mom? You’re going to start here? Please stop.” I say, watching Aaron’s eyes widen for the second time. “Your mom?” He mouthed “You just called her baby, I heard that right and she is your?” Mom asks, I resist the urge to faceplam myself. “Mom!” She raised her hand to shut me up, waking to where Aaron stood.

Mom yelled. “Tell me something I don’t know, dear, I am a proud monster, a beautiful one and trust me, Amelia, you’re not just going to die, at least, not until I’ve had taste of what was supposed to be mine,” He said with a sick expression and it was at this stage that mom started to crawl back, her eyes bloodshot with fear.

She touched her face and said, “The first time your dad brought me here and introduced me to you, he said I was your mom. From that day, I told myself that no matter what happened before, from now on, I’m your mom.” Then, she thought of something and suddenly laughed. “That time you told me to get out, your dad came to confront me. I told him it was all my fault. I said I found out you used the 20,000 dollars to frame me, and in my anger, I hit you. “I even told him I was your mom and promised to take care of you and help you grow up. I guess I am pathetic.” She handed me the property deed, raised her chin, and said, “Listen to your mom, you brat.”

"How much did my mom pay you? I'll double it. Now get out." I'd barely stepped into Jace's office before he threw that at me. Wow. We spawned straight into nightmare mode. No wonder he was the hardest guy in Bayford to crack. The second I thought about those ten properties, my motivation came roaring back. Didn't matter how impossible he was. For ten properties, I'd crawl through hell smiling. I pressed my lips together. "You already know your mom paid me to be here, so why waste money offering double?"

Just not to Mom. I went on a shopping spree, making a show of splurging. After dropping tens of thousands of dollars on bags without a second thought, I dined at a place where it cost more than a thousand dollars a meal as if it were nothing. On the flip side, Mom was living a miserable life. Christy made a split-screen comparison. On one side, I was walking into luxury stores, spending money like it was water. On the other side, Mom was digging through trash cans by the street.

I distinctly heard Yelena Lipton gasp on the other end of the phone, followed by several seconds of silence. "Mom's… gone? H-How could that be? This is just too sudden! I didn't mean to be absent. I-I'll buy tickets for the soonest flight possible and head back right away. Wait for me to come back, okay?" "No need. From now on, you and I should go our separate ways. There's no need for us to be tied together anymore. This is exactly what you want, isn't it?"
