Friends Mom 소설 & 이야기

"She's not. She's only thinking of the money flow that will come with the merging of your daddy's company with his daddy's company. I'm sorry babe, but your momma is just like all those other ladies in her bridge club. They only care about money status and next month's vacation spots." I hate to admit it, but Kim was right. My mom didn't even like me being friends with Kim because her family didn't have much money as my dad did. And I say it like that because that's how it is. Dad's company is his, not mom's, mine, or her parent's.

It was a message from my mom, waiting for me to read it. Mom: Megan has returned. Son, we must extend our support to her. Her time abroad hasn't been kind. Despite everything, she’s still a friend. She confided in me that her lover mistreated her, even neglecting to provide for her basic needs. If possible, please consider buying a gift or something that could make her feel better.

Tia’s dad and my mom are fated mates. “Your mate?” Dad looks at mom. “You always said your fated mate wasn’t in the picture. This,” he motions to Stuart, “doesn’t look like he isn’t in the picture to me. What the hell is going on?” Mom looks between Dad and Stuart, but she doesn’t speak. “ANSWER ME!” Mom still says nothing. Dad moves closer to Mom and grabs her arm. “YOU WILL ANSW-”

, "HANG ON, if You're my Mom And Your my Dad then you two... EWWWW THAT'S GROSS" "Haaaaahahaaaa, trust you to think of that" mom says finally snapping out of her shock "I didn't know sweetheart, me and Jerry weren't together, he was pops friend and older than me, Grams was alive then and me and pops weren't getting on great, I guess we clashed a lot, we were so alike", "That's an understatement, "Jerry said laughing

"Actually, my mom wasn’t like most mothers. She was ambitious—ruthlessly so. Her career and position meant everything to her. She was willing to do anything to protect them." "Anything?" the officer repeated, his brows furrowing. I nodded. "Anything means anything." His eyes searched mine, as if trying to gauge how much weight my words held. "If you truly want to understand my mother, you should investigate her," I added, my voice steady. "We will, Miss," he assured me. "But let’s go back to you and your mother—what was your relationship like?" I hesitated for a moment, then exhaled slowly. "My relationship with my mom?" I scoffed, a bitter smile playing on my lips. "It wasn’t like what you

She growled, her voice accusing as she fired triggers at me. “Mo…mom… l,” I stammered as I ran through my hair with my fingers in frustration and fear. “I just took a few, my friends dared me and I…” “Are you crazy!” My mother barked, her eyes filled with a fury I had never seen. “We are in debt and the only thing you care about are your friends, your reputation...Is that what's more important to you than your own family?” As my mother railed against me, her words filled with anger and frustration as she spoke, her face flushed with emotion and her eyes almost welled up in tears.

She says as her voice ascends into a soft squeal. “Mom, you went on vacation?! That’s amazing!” I almost scream into the phone. Becca and Ashley are Mom’s closest friends. They’re basically sisters from different misters at this point. They met shortly after Mom graduated from high school and all attended the same college. They’ve been inseparable ever since. They were at her wedding, my naming ceremony, all my birthdays and even my graduation. And mom has attended all these events for their kids as well. I hadn’t seen them since Dad’s funeral.

The moonlight paints her eyes a soft, bluish green, and for a second, I forget how to breathe. I take another breath and continue, my voice low. “I’ve always been my mother’s only child. I didn’t have many friends, even as a kid. I wasn’t spoiled or arrogant… I just liked being alone.” My voice grows quieter. “About a year ago, when we found out she had heart failure, I completely lost it. I didn’t know what to do or where to start. By the time I took her to different doctors, it was already too late. The damage had been done.”

My attention shifted back to Diana, who looked overly stressed over her daughter’s issues. It was almost unbelievable she was coming to me for help and advice when she’d hated me the most. Her actions made my heart soften. A mother. Right now, all I saw was a mother worried for her daughter so bad she’d even go to her enemies for her. Not that I was her enemy, but you know. “I’ve always known the man…” She paused for a second, thinking. “Whatever his name was, he’s up to no good. But I couldn’t do anything to stop it.” She continued, her voice cracking a little.

So when Mom told me that I should be more presentable, it was understandable. I both hated and loved my Mom's job and friendship with Uncle Ben. Hated it because he and the job kept her so busy that she barely had time for me, and she was so occupied with her job that she sometimes forgot that she was a mother too. The only reason I loved it was that the 'princess' of the Van Acker family, Katerina Van Acker is my best friend since diaper days. I literally consider her my sister and her elder brothers, Konstantin and William, my brothers.
