NICK

I was shocked, mother would never do something like that. “What are your talking about?” she ignored me and took her bag then hearted to the door with me following behind. “I assume you parked at the back, yes?” I nodded. and she walked forward.

I couldn’t get what she said out of my mind. What did she mean mother chased her mother away? She didn’t seem angry that father found her, she was angrier that he didn’t tell her that he managed to find her. Would someone who chased her mother away back then do that? I didn’t think so.

“Don’t think too much little brother, I understand where your mother was coming from. From what I have been told, her relationship with your father was still new when my mother went there with me. she must have felt threatened by her and me.” I said nothing. She sat next to me in the car and Given drove us home.

Could it have been mother who warned her mother not to come back with her? I didn’t know what to think. “if I knew that my family was this rich, I wouldn’t have been in this business but I grew up not knowing my father and mother wouldn’t tell me. After her death when I was struggling with my sister. I tried looking for him, but I had nothing to go on.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

What? She had a sister; did that mean she was also my sister? “We have another sister?” I asked and she chuckled shaking her head. “No, she is my sister, mother had her with another man. The one who raised me, well, he did the best he could, but he died first before mother. Accident.”

I sighed relieved, she was too much on her own and I didn’t think I could. handle another sister. “Where is your sister now?” she shrugged. “Around, she is a grown woman now. She comes and visits when she can other than that, she never tells me where she is.” I nodded.

When we got home, we went around the back. “It seems I am not the only one the vultures have been stalking.” She said pointing at the news vans. Given parked the car and we got out. Mother came to receive us by the door.

“You must be Faren, welcome.” I watched my mother to see if there was any guilt on her face, but I saw nothing but the smile she wore. “And you must be Mrs Jones.” Mother nodded with a smile. “Yes, come this way.” She led us to the dining room.

Food was already on the table. “We were about to have a late breakfast, join us.” She offered and we took our seats. Father couldn’t stop looking at her. Mr Jones, good to see you again. Or should I call you Mr Saunders?”

Father chuckled. “No, Mr Jones is fine. Or you can call me father.” That didn’t sit well with me for some reason. “We are not there yet, Mr Jones.” He nodded looking disappointed. I couldn’t stand it anymore as I excused. myself and left the table.

I couldn’t stand the look of disappointment on my father’s face and the pretend look on my mother’s face. She was over friendly like someone who had something to hide. I went to the bar in the other room and poured myself something to drink.

It wasn’t long before father joined me. He poured himself a drink and downed it all at once. “That bad?” he shook his head. “I failed; I didn’t look for her hard enough.” I frowned. “What do you mean?” he sighed taking a seat next to me.

“I looked for her after taking over the business, when I had the resources at my disposal, but I couldn’t find her. for two years I looked but found nothing. Then you were born, and I stopped looking. Until a year ago after getting Olivia out of jail and seeing her so pitiful reminded me of her. so, I started. looking again until I found her nine months ago.”

I kept my mouth shut; it was none of my business. “I should have never stopped looking for her, if I didn’t stop then she wouldn’t have ended up in that place.” Well, I had no words to that. “I need some air, tell you mother am in the garden when she looks for me.”

I only nodded and watched him leave. I finished my drink then decided to go back to the dining room. It was time I gave my sister a chance. When I was close, I heard her talking. “So, you don’t want me to tell your husband that you were the reason he couldn’t find me. the reason my mother never went back to look for him?”

I listened waiting to hear mom’s reply, hoping she was going to deny her accusations. “You can tell him if you want but I wasn’t about to let your mother ruin my relationship. Even so, I gave her enough money every month to take care of you.”

My sister laughed mockingly. “Mother died when I was twelve and my sister seven. You say you sent money to her? then why did we struggle like that if you did? There were days when there was not enough food for all of us to eat. My sister and I would eat dry bread while mother went to bed hungry. So, where was that money on those days?”

Indeed, where was it if mother sent money to them? this was getting more complicated. My phone rang and I moved away from the door to pick it up. What?”

“Sir, we have an opportunity to take him. do you still want us to do it?” I thought about it for a moment. “Yes, take him.” I then cut the call. “What have you done, Nick?” father asked from behind me. I turned to look at him.” What have you done, son?”
