“How dare you tell me it’s not your fault when you’re the reason she has changed her mind?”

Mom refused to believe me and held me accountable for her loss once again.

Apart from Steven, money was the next thing she cared about the most. Since she wasn’t able to get her hands on the one million, she was devastated by the loss.

“Your opinion has nothing to do with me! I’ll repeat myself for one last time! This has nothing to do with me! I won’t agree to leave even if Emma doesn’t change her mind! It’s time for you to give up!”

As infuriated as Mom might be, I was equally irked. She had placed my future at stake for her personal gain.

Is she indicating that my future is nothing as compared to a million? Has she any idea of all the sacrifices I have made over the years? After spending years to get to where I am, she’s asking me to start all over again!

“You’re such an ungrateful daughter! How dare you get full of yourself and talk back against me? Have you forgotten that I’m your mother?”

No matter how irritated I was back in the day, I would listen to her. That was the first time I made myself clear I wouldn’t give in. She was taken aback by my response.

“Mom, if you think I’m taking you for granted, so be it! Over the years, I have tried my best to fulfill your demands! Stop pushing your luck unless you’re ready to live a life without me!”

I had made up my mind to sever ties with them if she continued bringing up the absurd request. No longer could I stand them and their demands anymore.

They had never considered me a member of the family. In fact, they had brought upon nothing apart from misery in my life. Michael was right—no one, not even my parents, was in a position to mess with my life.

I won’t tolerate them any further! I have been trying my best to please them over the years! It’s about time to put an end to everything!
