Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

"After saying those words, your mom left without looking back."

"Your dad was so heartbroken, he coughed up blood and died with regrets."

The old butler wiped his tears with the back of his hand as he shared the tragic tale.

Jules was stunned into silence by his parents' heartbreaking love story. He'd always thought his dad had died from an illness when he was young, never imagining that his mom had spun a web of lies.

The old butler went on, "After your dad passed, that woman left Jackson on the Sharp family's doorstep. She penned a letter, then vanished. In it, she admitted to your mom about her naive mistakes, offered a heartfelt apology, and said she planned to take your dad's ashes back to her hometown to live peacefully, promising never to set foot in the Capital again. In the end, your mom softened and took Jackson in."

"Jackson was just a kid, and your mom felt guilty, thinking she was the reason he had no parents. So, she decided to raise him like her own son."

Jules was left with a whirlwind of emotions after hearing the story.

The shift from his parents' loving relationship to its collapse was a lot to handle.

"My dad was just an average guy, and maybe anyone in his shoes would feel something for their child. But my mom, it's incredible how she kept her head clear and didn't drown in despair, instead achieving even greater things. She's truly something else."
