Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

“I’m so sorry, Jeremy. I’m sorry I left you at the orphanage. I was blinded by revenge at that time. I thought my life would not be peaceful until I succeeded in punishing those bad guys.”

Vivian’s voice grew hoarse. Her sobs were louder.

“But now, I realize. I handled my emotions in the wrong way. Instead of accepting it and letting it heal, I let the wound fester. Looking at Kara, I envy her. Why wasn’t I as strong as her? She forgives the people who hurt her and only focuses on her children, while I ….”

Vivian took a quick, deep breath. Her back started to bend. Her chest would be tight if she didn’t do so.

“I left my son in order to take revenge. If only I chose to forgive your father, let all the pain he caused go, of course I would have beautiful life watching you grow. I could attend parent meetings at your school, take photos with you at your graduation, and celebrate all your birthdays.”

“I could also cook you a special meal on your first day of work. Or throw a small party to welcome the girl of your choice. But apparently, I didn’t do any of that. I took all those opportunities away from you.”

Suddenly, Vivian laughed sadly. “Do you know how proud I was when Rowan and Frank accepted you? When they said you were qualified to be the CEO’s assistant?”

Vivian raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly. However, the shaking

of her shoulders became more intense.

“Yes, there was a feeling of sadness because you actually deserved a higher position. But, seeing you struggle alone, developing your

proud. But again, I could only say congratulations. I couldn’t hug or pat you on the back. I couldn’t.”

“A lot of people think I really care about Frank. I often visited his

room, asked how he was doing, and brought him food. But no one knows that actually… I did all that to be able to see you, to hear your voice, to know how you are.”

“Even though I don’t deserve to be called a mother, I still want to show my love.”

Jeremy froze. His heart trembled hearing all those words. Silently, he bowed his head, remembering all the times that had passed.

“You are wrong, Ma’am. There is one person who knows.”

Jeremy’s voice succeeded in freezing Vivian’s tears. Slowly, she straightened her back again and raised her eyebrows. “Who?”
