Chapter 41
"Finish your breakfast baby". I said taking Jason's robot out of his hands.
He pouted and continued eating slowly.
"Finish then we will take you to school". I smiled kissing his forehead as Laura walked in the kitchen.
"I need to take my purse. Help him wash his hands when he's done. I'll be right back". I said walking out of the kitchen.
I made my way toward the stairs and I stared feeling nervous.
I was visiting my mom today. Hunter will come with me, but I will talk to her alone.
I will finally know what her goal was all these years.
Why did she all these things? Appart from wanting money.
I walked up the stairs and entered the bedroom.
My gaze instantly landed on Hunter who was finishing buttoning his shirt.
He looked at me when I walked in the room and he smiled.
"Are you ready?". He asked.
I sighed smiling lightly. "Not really but I need to". I said moving to the closet and opening the drawer where his ties.
I just hope that everything goes smoothly.
I took a tie and walked back to Hunter.
"Let me". I said lowly and proceeded to tie it around his neck.
His hands moved to my waist and stared My me. I noticed but I just kept my eyes on his tie.
"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked.
"Mmhh". I mumbled and he looked at me with a blank face.
"I'm fine". I chuckled lightly finishing up. "But I should be asking you that". I said placing my hands on his shoulders.
He looked at me raising his eyebrow questioningly.
"Kevin". I said and his expression hardened.
I shook my head and started pushing him back until he sat on the bed. I moved to take a seat next to him but he grabbed my waist pulling me to his lap.
He came home late last night and he obviously didn't want to talk about it so I didn't pressure him.
"How are you feeling?". I asked running my hand through his hair.
He sighed burying his face between my breasts.
"Hey". I gasped.
"Are you cozy enough? Do you need help?". I asked jokingly and he chuckled.
"No I'm good. Thank you". He said.
I smiled and we stayed silent for a moment.
"I didn't want things to end like this". He suddenly said and I moved my hand through his hair.
"He's my brother".
"I know". I said softly. "He is your brother. And if he regrets what he did, things can be arranged between the two of you".
He scoffed. "You think".
"Hunter, I know. If you don't forgive the people who hurt you, you kind of become their prisoners". I said quietly.
"Living in the past will stop you from moving on".
I said and he looked up at me furrowing his eyebrows.
"Think about it". I smiled giving him a lingering kiss.
"MOMMY!". I suddenly heard Jason yell downstairs.
"Shit". Hunter muttered. "We forgot he had school".
I laughed standing up, quickly taking my purse and walking out the room as Hunter followed close behind.
*************
"Do you want me to come with you?". He asked stroking my cheek.
I let out a soft breath leaning against his touch. "No it's fine. I need to talk to her alone".
He looked at me for a few moments not saying anything. He then cupped my face forcing my gaze to him.
"If you need me, I'll be right here". He said and I nodded nervously looking at the metal door.
He sighed.
"Baby you really don't have to go if-".
"I want to". I said moving my gaze back to him. "I'll be fine". I smiled lightly placing my hands on his shoulders.
"Okay. I'll be right here". He said again and I nodded.
He leaned down and captured my lips in his. I let him kiss me but then slowly pulled away while glancing at the guards.
He kissed my cheek again and started walking to the door.
The guard opened it for me and I walked in thanking him quietly.
He closed the door behind me and I moved my gaze to the center of the room when a metal table was placed and two chairs facing each other.
My gaze instantly landed in the woman I called my mother. I looked down at the orange uniform she was wearing then back at her face.
Her face was still bruised from last time.
"Hello mom".
"Hi". She said looking at me blankly.
"What are you doing here. Don't you think you've done enough?". She asked.
"I need answers".
She glared at me not saying anything so I continued.
"Did you really do all this for money?". I asked leaning in.
"What do you think? I deserve everything for tying myself to him". She snapped.
"He didn't live anything to me". She said angrily. "After marrying him all these years".
She paused glaring at me even more.
"What? You could have taken everything and leave me with nothing". She said.
"Even kick me out".
"You are my mother. You gave birth to me". I snapped.
"I would never do that. I could have even given you the whole money".
She looked at me with a suddenly blank face.
She looked down. "Doesn't matter anymore". She said.
"What is done is done. I always needed your father out of my way anyways".
"What are you talking about?". I asked, my heartbeat increasing.
Needed him out of my way.
"What the hell do you mean?". I asked angrily.
She leaned in, her face emotionless.
She whispered words that instantly broke my heart.
"I killed your father".
I looked at her with wide eyes as my hands turned into fists. My whole body was shaking as I stood up from the chair.
I shook my head furiously. "No". I said angrily. "You're lying". I snapped as my tears kept falling. "You couldn't have".
"And why not?". She snapped back. "I didn't want to marry him in the first place. But who could say no to a rich man?"
I kept shaking my head. My hand went to my mouth as a loud sob escaped me.
No
No
She didn't. She couldn't have.
I fisted my hand again before the metal door flew open and I felt arms around me.
I turned my gaze to the woman on the other side of the table.
Hunter held me back trying to smooth me.
"She killed him, Hunter". I said angrily crying harder. "She killed my father".
"Come on". He said wrapping his arms tighter around me. "Let's get out of here".
"No". I said and he stopped.
I wiped my tears slowly and moved my gaze to Donna.
"I hope that all the things you did were worth you loosing everything and ending up in jail". I said quietly, slowly calming down.
"You are one evil woman. A selfish mother and an awful wife". I said bitterly.
"But I forgive you". I said and her eyes widened.
"St-". I cut her off.
"I am not doing it for you. But for my own peace and my son. Because as a mother I know the importance of my child". I said looking down.
"I don't have anything else to say to you".
I took a deep breath and looked back at her.
"I hope you have a good life. Goodbye Donna". I said turning back to Hunter.
He nodded as his arm tightened around me and he pulled me out of the room
********
"Mommy, you are not listening". Jason pouted crossing his arms over his chest.
My head snapped to him as I tried to keep my tears in.
I'm never gonna break down in front of my son. I couldn't.
And Donna wasn't worth.
She broke my heart so many times that I'm not gonna let it get to me this time.
She killed my father. I lost my father because of her. And that's the thing I will always remember.
My father's murderer.
That's what she was to me.
And that's all she will be from now on.
"I'm sorry. I just have a headache". I said smiling lightly.
"Come here baby". I said reaching out for him.
He quietly walked to me and I pulled him in my arms holding him close to my chest.
"Mommy will never stop loving you, you know that right?". I said stroking his hair and he nodded.
"No matter what, I will always be behind you. Never doubt that, okay?".
"Okay mommy". He said looking up at my face. His hand then moved to the face wiping the annoying tears.
"Don't cry mommy. I love you too. Don't cry. I love you".
I laughed lightly picking him up and started walking to the kitchen.
"I wish I could stop you from growing up". I said and he laughed as I put him on the counter.
"You can maybe make a potion for that". Hunter said also walking in the kitchen.
"But who's gonna stop you from being an old grumpy and weird lady? While I'll be an old handsome man".
I glared at him playfully. "And how come you're handsome and I'm grumpy and weird?"
"I don't know. Life is weird". He shrugged grabbing my chin to give me a light kiss.
I soon pulled away smiling lightly.
"Again". Jason said happily looking at us as a huge smile appeared on his face.
We both chuckled and I pulled away.
"Let's bake that cake you two wanted. You guys are going to help me". I said taking out what we would need.
I turned back around to see that the both of them were gone.
I frowned.
They always ask for things but when you ask for help, nobody's here.
"HEY! YOU TWO BETTER GET BACK HERE BEFORE I GET MAD". I yelled as I heard Jason's small laugh from the living-room, betraying their cover.
