I didnāt want to believe it, but everything was true.
No matter how much I denied it, the stories my mother showed me were true. As soon as I woke up from that dream-like memory, all the memories of my father, who I believed to love me, disappeared.
āRight, Momā¦ā
When I looked at her, she nodded slowly with a friendly smile.
As if to give us a chance to talk, my mother only took turns looking at me and my twin brother without saying a word.
āNo way⦠No way⦠That canāt be true. Ellinsonās childā¦ā
āEllin has always talked about you, her own children, and that she misses and loves you. She did that every minute of the day. I was always curious what kind of people they were.ā
āAhā¦ā
āActually⦠I didnāt like it. When I heard that I found Bebeās real father, I thought I should let her go⦠I didnāt like it.ā
My motherās eyes glistened with tears. My chest felt ticklish. I hated the fact that I was not her real daughter until now, and I hated that my memories of my dad were manipulated⦠but I liked my mom.
I struggled slightly, and the Grand Duke, my dad, dropped me off without a word.
āMomā¦ā
Without hesitation, I was held in the arms of my mother on the bed.
āBeatrice.ā
āNo. Bebe is⦠Bebe. Bebe is Momās Bebe, and Mom is Bebeās motherā¦ā
āBaby, Mommy⦠I lied to you. I didnāt even tell you this first.ā
āYou told me a good lie⦠you didnāt tell me not to be hurt, rightā¦?ā
My mom is kind and a good person. That was it. I lifted her head slightly and met my eyes with my mother.
Every time this happened, my mother, who kindly called my name and stroked my head, shook her head slowly.
āNo. Iām a bad mom. I want to own Bebe. I knew all of this, but I didnāt say it.ā
āMom⦠is not bad!ā
āBeatrā¦ā
āNo! Iām Bebe. Right now and forever And youāre still my mother. I mean⦠I mean, Mom, please pet Bebeās headā¦ā
Only then would I feel relieved. She looked relieved and sad, as if she had done everything she had to do. I rubbed my head on my momās chest.
āNow, you have to go back to your place. As a princess, we have a different path to take, baby.ā
āNo! Iām going with my mom. If I donāt have a mother, I wonāt be a princess or anything!ā
āBabyā¦ā
āTo me, youāre⦠youāre the world. I mean⦠without my mother, I donāt have my own world.ā
I made eye contact.
I hated my mother a little bit, but she was my everything. I wanted to live with my mother but sheās died many times. Now, even with my real family being revealed, nothing will change.
āIf⦠If my mom leaves me⦠if she leaves me⦠Iāll do it again. Iāll start over again so my mom wonāt abandon me.ā
My mom was more precious than my family and this moment.
āMomā¦ā
I called and called my mom, as she didnāt answer several times.
āThis is not my place. Baby, youāre a much more noble and precious child soā¦ā
āNo! I hate it!ā
My heart hurt even more because I knew how much my mom loves me. In the end, even if I wasnāt her real daughter, she died for me so many times that she always took care of me that she abandoned her life. Thatās why it hurt more.
āMom⦠I love you, so donāt do that. Mom is Mom. Even if I had a mother who gave birth to meā¦ā
Tears dripped- no, it flowed all over the place. I couldnāt stand it.
āDonāt cry, baby.ā
āI canāt help but cry. Why do you want to leave? You can stay here. You can stay here with me for a long time.ā
āBaby⦠I told you a good lie⦠I didnāt tell you not to be hurt, isnāt that rightā¦?ā
At that time, the Grand Duke, who had stepped back this whole time, came to us.
āThere is no reason for you to leave. If you want to stay here, you can stay. Bebe says so because youāre her mother. Bebeās mother is you.ā
The Grand Dukeās eyes looked sadder than ever.
āButā¦ā
āAnd first of all, before we talk about this and that, weāll have to checkā¦ā
