Novel & Cerita I Was Born As The Second Daughter

Michella Queensha Garth. She is my second child, he is only two years old. The little girl who has chubby cheeks with the same brown eyes as me. His nose was so sharp, his eyes were as wide as Jerry's. I don't know if I'm surprised by my two children, who I think are the same as all Jerry. Nothing is the same as me, except only the eyes and nose. Or maybe the shape of lips and also curly lashes. I have been living in Indonesia for three years. My life is full of color, I can forget someone who used to mean a lot in my life.

I had been reborn! And I was now Xena’s daughter!

A lot more worse. When I turned ten, my father brought a young lady home. His second wife, he'd said. Serafina, my stepmother, was pretty and looked kind. Except that she wasn't. She made life hell for me and my mother and father ALWAYS favored her. She'd beat me up and lie against mother to incur father's wrath. And in the next year, she gave birth to twins—a boy and a girl—and hell broke loose. Father became insufferable and I knew he was grateful he had a back up heir, after all, he never really did like me but he had a reputation to uphold and a legacy to keep going….

I looked from Lorena to her mother , still speechless. "I wrote to you severally but never got a response. Months after giving birth, Eva's men found me and I had to leave again. I had to take only one of the twin with me and left the other behind because she was sick. Lorena was the child I'd left with Sarah. It was during my escape that I got involved in an accident and lost the other twin and my memories. I had no idea she was still alive.." I stood up from my seat and ran my fingers through my hair. "You mean to tell me I have two daughters?"

I wouldn't want it any other way. When I was pregnant, I expected to give birth to only one child. To my surprise, on the day of my deliver, I gave birth to one but the nurse told me she saw another head. I was shocked. I pushed again and delivered my second son. These boys were blessings to me and I was grateful for them. They gave me a reason to live.

They placed him on my chest for one second. Tiny and red and screaming. Then he was gone to be cleaned. “I need to rest.” “No rest yet. Your daughter is impatient.” “Daughter?” “Baby B is a girl. And she’s ready to meet you. Push!” The second birth was faster. Three pushes and she was out. Her cry joining her brother’s. “A girl,” I sobbed. “We have a girl.” “You have both,” Dr. Romano said, smiling. “Congratulations.” They placed both babies on my chest.

Two births. I called my mother. "I found the photo," I said. Silence. "You said I was your first born. But the photo says Lily is first born. I'm Rose. I'm the second one." More silence. Then my mother spoke. Her voice was different. Softer. Older. "You read it wrong, honey. Turn the photo over again." I turned it over. The handwriting had changed. The ink was the same, but the words were different. Rose. My first born. My only.

The plague was gradually being contained, and trade routes across the continent were reopening. "Mom, I want to change my last name," Lyra suddenly said. I was taken aback. "Change your last name?" She nodded. "Yes. I don't want to be a Dwyer anymore. I want to have the same last name as you and Grandma Raina." "But why?" "Because I'm your daughter. Dad may have given me half of my bloodline, but you gave me my entire life. It was true in our previous lives, and it's true in this one too."

If the second daughter could come back from the dead, the lady would be overjoyed. However... ah, forget it. She also witnessed the death of her second daughter that year. Her face was purple when she was born, and the few maidens accompanying the lady at that moment witnessed it. It was impossible for her not to be. Perhaps that girl was arranged by the eldest daughter. Dexie was unaware of what had happened as she drove to Luke’s house.

I quickly blinked it away because I wasn't used to people seeing me cry, not even my parents. "You even had the guts to bring her into our home," mom added confirming my greatest fear. "I can't believe you Joseph, if she's the one you wanted why marry me. You even have a son who's two years older than Zara. I can't believe you can be this heartless,"mom shook her head. My jaw dropped. I can't believe I've been living with dad's side chick my entire life. I even have a brother? So Tania was indeed my second mother.
