.”But mommy..”

“Charlene..” she said sternly making the little kid sigh.

“It’s okay princess listen to your mommy..” I said to her and she went back standing near Zara

“Zara please at least be a little nice—” Zane began but she cut him off.

“Are you going to invite me inside or not.?” she asked impatiently. I turned to look at Mom who had tears in her eyes. I can’t let her make my Mom cry I have to do something about this.

“Right this way Mrs. Cross..” Zane said not referring to her as sister or Zara. Things were getting pretty awkward. We all went into the house and sat down no one saying anything, not even Aaron Jnr was making baby noises. It was dead uncomfortable silence until Zane decided to speak up.

“Is he your mate?” He asked looking at the man.

“Yeah Francisco that’s my brother Zane..” she mumbled while Francisco gave Zane a small smile.

“Zane when is the war going to start I can’t stay here any longer I hate this place. Especially them..” she spat pointing at Mom and Dad. My anger was boiling how dare she talk to them like that! They are her parents it wasn’t their fault.

“Zara doesn’t talk to my parents like that..” Zane said angrily

“I can talk to them however I want you don’t get to control me it’s because of them that Zoey’s life was ruined..”

“Don’t blame them Zara we both know it wasn’t their fault. It was beyond them too..”

“Beyond them?” she scoffed, “you are siding with them because they raised you but they didn’t raise me they abandoned me made me feel like I didn’t have parents well in reality they were here happily and having fun while I was there in Italy wishing to see my real parents..”

“Zara stop Zane growled lowly at her making the kids flinch

“You very well know the reason why they made the sacrifice it was to protect you and Zoey if we stayed in the same place you know what would have happened..”

“Well I don’t care and you know what it was a mistake for me coming here! I SHOULD HAVE JUST STAYED IN LONDON AWAY FROM YOU ALL!!” she yelled.

“Don’t yell at me Zara I’m Your elder brother..”

“Well brother my foot I don’t consider you one..” she said and we all gasped.

“Oh really..” I could hear the hurt in his voice.

“Okay..” he said leaving the living room going upstairs.

“That’s it!” I said getting from my sit staring daggers at her.

“You are the most selfish and terrible person in this whole world!!!.” I yelled at her

“Angel don’t..” I heard Mom’s voice.

“No Mom she needs to hear me out..” I said looking at Zara giving her the best glare I could muster.

“What’s is your problem huh? do you know how much it hurt these people when they gave you up? They did it to protect you and all you are doing is blame them for something they had no control of.

I have seen Mom she has been sad beating herself up for everything that happen to Zoey and here you are rubbing salt in her wound. It was fated to happen it had to happen to her otherwise you wouldn’t even be here alive you hear me!! And that man you just said mean stuff to all he ever did was think about you and try to bring you back home but you just had to be so selfish and childish that you couldn’t see things clearly and Zoey? She chose the life she got. She had been given a choice to choose the life she wanted but she chose that one because she wanted to keep you safe and here you are blaming Mom and Dad who had nothing to do with the choices she made and if she were here do you think she would be proud of you know that you were holding on to a grudge? When she left she told you to keep this family together but what did you do you left too. Zoey knew what sacrifice she had to make. To keep you, your brother, and your family safe.

You know what you don’t deserve every single prayer mom prayed for your safety you don’t deserve this family either. You say they were here happy while you were suffering in Italy well you are wrong! They were never happy they spent their time looking for ways to stop whatever was hunting you down so that you can live here with them and you are talking about suffering? When did you ever suffer in Italy tell me?” I question while she just sat quietly listening.

“Aunt Raima treated you like a princess! gave you the love a mother can give! she provide everything you ever wanted but it was still not enough, right? you wanted more. Do you even know what suffering is? No, you don’t because if you did you would be thanking these two people for taking you someplace where you would be loved not just dumb you in a dumpster like other parents do..” at this point, I was breathing heavily feeling like energy was draining from me.

“Angel just leave it okay..” I heard Dad say.

” No Dad you and Mom are the nicest people in the world who took me in, cared for me when my mom left me, and here she is blaming you. I am sorry but I had to say I couldn’t allow her to be mean to you despite your efforts to keep her safe. I have seen many kids suffer licking the floor but not once did she wear rugs or eat dirt but she is busy complaining about suffering..” Dad sighed.

“Don’t stress yourself, sweetheart..” Mom stood up pulling me into a hug.

” it’s not good for the baby to come on you have to breathe and relax..” she said.

“No mom I can’t just stand by and watch her be mean to you after everything you did for her..”

“It’s okay Angel just calm down okay. You are stressing yourself remember what the doctor said we don’t want you to lose the baby now do we?” she asked and I sighed shaking my head in denial.

“Then relax okay just calm down. This isn’t worth it. It’s not worth you losing the baby come on let’s get you to bed..” she said leading me towards the stairs.

“But I can’t go to bed now I’m hungry..” I said and she let out a small giggle.

“I will bring you dinner okay..” she said. We entered the room and Zane was sitting on the balcony staring into space.

“Thank you Mom I will be fine..” I said to her she nodded then left.

* KAIRA POV*

I was happy to see my daughter after so long but the feeling wasn’t mutual since she hated me.

After hearing Angel say those things to her I decided to stop her since I could sense she was getting tired and stressed.

I took her to her room but when coming back down Zara was standing at the foot of the stairs crying. My heart broke seeing my girl cry but I couldn’t console her since she hated me.

“I’m sorry Mom..” she said pulling me into a hug I was taken aback as a few tears of my own escaped. Mom, she just called me Mom.!

I hesitantly wrapped my arms around her but seeing that she wasn’t pushing me away I wrapped them tightly pulling her closer.

“Sorry, Mom I am sorry for everything I shouldn’t have said or done what I did. Zane’s mate was right I am a terrible person I should have realized that I wasn’t the only one hurting but you were too I am sorry she was right I am selfish..”

“No baby, Angel didn’t mean it..” I said to her, “she only said it because she was angry. You are not selfish at all you only did what you thought was right. Their child doesn’t cry..” I said patting her back.

“I’m so sorry Mom! I am sorry please forgive me..” She sobbed.

” Don’t cry baby it wasn’t your fault it’s okay I already forgave you long ago..”

She didn’t say anything as she kept on sobbing on my shoulder, before long Kaden joined in the hug too and so did Lucas.

After a few minutes of crying, she broke away sniffing and I wiped away the last tears giving her a smile which she returned.

“Everything is going to be okay I love you..” I kissed her forehead and she smiled.

“I will just go apologies to Zane too he didn’t deserve my cold shoulder and neither did his mate..”
