I didnât 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.
âRight, Momâ¦â
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.
âNo way⦠No way⦠That canât be true. Ellinsonâs childâ¦â
âEllin 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.â
âAhâ¦â
âActually⦠I didnât like it. When I heard that I found Bebeâs real father, I thought I should let her go⦠I didnât like it.â
My motherâs 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.
âMomâ¦â
Without hesitation, I was held in the arms of my mother on the bed.
âBeatrice.â
âNo. Bebe is⦠Bebe. Bebe is Momâs Bebe, and Mom is Bebeâs motherâ¦â
âBaby, Mommy⦠I lied to you. I didnât even tell you this first.â
âYou told me a good lie⦠you didnât tell me not to be hurt, rightâ¦?â
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.
âNo. Iâm a bad mom. I want to own Bebe. I knew all of this, but I didnât say it.â
âMom⦠is not bad!â
âBeatrâ¦â
âNo! Iâm Bebe. Right now and forever And youâre still my mother. I mean⦠I mean, Mom, please pet Bebeâs headâ¦â
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 momâs chest.
âNow, you have to go back to your place. As a princess, we have a different path to take, baby.â
âNo! Iâm going with my mom. If I donât have a mother, I wonât be a princess or anything!â
âBabyâ¦â
âTo me, youâre⦠youâre the world. I mean⦠without my mother, I donât have my own world.â
I made eye contact.
I hated my mother a little bit, but she was my everything. I wanted to live with my mother but sheâs died many times. Now, even with my real family being revealed, nothing will change.
âIf⦠If my mom leaves me⦠if she leaves me⦠Iâll do it again. Iâll start over again so my mom wonât abandon me.â
My mom was more precious than my family and this moment.
âMomâ¦â
I called and called my mom, as she didnât answer several times.
âThis is not my place. Baby, youâre a much more noble and precious child soâ¦â
âNo! I hate it!â
My heart hurt even more because I knew how much my mom loves me. In the end, even if I wasnât her real daughter, she died for me so many times that she always took care of me that she abandoned her life. Thatâs why it hurt more.
âMom⦠I love you, so donât do that. Mom is Mom. Even if I had a mother who gave birth to meâ¦â
Tears dripped- no, it flowed all over the place. I couldnât stand it.
âDonât cry, baby.â
âI canât help but cry. Why do you want to leave? You can stay here. You can stay here with me for a long time.â
âBaby⦠I told you a good lie⦠I didnât tell you not to be hurt, isnât that rightâ¦?â
At that time, the Grand Duke, who had stepped back this whole time, came to us.
âThere is no reason for you to leave. If you want to stay here, you can stay. Bebe says so because youâre her mother. Bebeâs mother is you.â
The Grand Dukeâs eyes looked sadder than ever.
âButâ¦â
âAnd first of all, before we talk about this and that, weâll have to checkâ¦â
