"Get ready, we are visiting the Myrtle family at the palace tomorrow" Daisy Blake said to her daughter Sharon.
Looking at her mother who always do everything she wanted without considering anyone, Sharon looks angry.
"Why is that?" She asks frowning.
"What do you mean why is that?" Daisy eye her badly and scoff at her.
"You are getting married of course!" She adds nonchalantly.
"Getting married again?" Sharon could not describe the hatred she felt towards this mother of hers. She couldn't even believe if she is really her mother or someone sent to destroy her life.
"What did you mean by marriage again? You were never married in the first place" Daisy replies still eyeing her daughter seriously.
"Or did you actually count you getting together with that god-forsaken fellow as marriage? I regret approving of such union in the first place" she hissed.
"I only thought he was a legitimate son of the George. He is not even an illegitimate son, talk of been a legitimate son, but an orphan who was adopted from a stupid orphanage" she sneered and continues.
"If I had known five years ago, that he is just a nobody with no history, will I approve of such nonsense? I thought to just borrow his sperm for you, thinking he is the blood of the George. So that I could rise a descendant of our blood and that of the George, because I know it is the perfect thing to do. But who knows the no legacy, good for nothing will turns out to be an orphan" She talks as she crosses her legs sitting on the exotic leather cushion in the large sitting room.
"Or do you already fall in love with him?" Daisy lash at Sharon.
"Why will I fall in love with him because I had a child with him?" Sharon replies angrily.
"I only thought this is not right. Why will you keep making me your source of pulling wealth from the rich? I already have a child for someone. Why should I marry someone else again? And against my will" she refuted.
Daisy smirks at Sharon’s words.
"Daughter, you don't have any will in this Blake family. I gave birth to you and I know what is good for you. And you have to follow whatever I want for you. Did you understand?" She stares at her with fury.
"And what did you even mean by pulling wealth from the rich?" Daisy adds and sneered.
"The Blake family is already rich and powerful. We can only get richer and more powerful, that is the only way to retain what your father has left. And it can only be achieved by you" she hissed angrily and stand up to leave.
"Get ready to meet with the Myrtle family tomorrow. That is the only way for you" she snorts as she leaves, leaving Sharon in disarrayed.
Sharon instantly sinks down; she could see that her world is about to crash down again like five years ago.
Five years ago, she was just twenty years. Her mother has said she should get married to Evans because her mother thought Evans is a legitimate son of the George family.
The George family which is the second in command to the royal family of the Myrtle in city of Arizona and now her mother want to get her married to the royal family of the Myrtle again.
Sharon was against getting married to Evans five years ago because she did not love him and thinks that she is still young at her age to get married. But her mother forced her to get married to him to bear a descendant of the George who will have the power of king making in Arizona.
"You don't have to really get married to him. We just need his sperm because he is the son of the George" her mother had told her five years ago.
After the marriage, Sharon never had any s****l relationship with Evans, but because of the pressure from her mother, she had to secretly get Evans’ sperm implanted in her and have his child, unknown to Evans himself.
But the George family made it known after five months of getting married to Evans that Evans was not even of their blood. That he is an orphan who they adopted. Evans was thrown out of the city since the George family are powerful. Because he was accused of wanting to take over the authority of George's family and kill the real legitimate son, Williams.
Sharon's mother turns to hates her so much because Sharon was carrying Evans' child at that time. She wanted her to abort the child, but Sharon refused, saying the child is her child also.
Sharon eventually gave birth to the child and took care of him on her own. She has never heard about Evans for that five years and wonders if he is alive or death.
Though she did not love him, but since he is still the father of her child, she is sometimes worried about where he is for five years. Her son is hated by her mother and everyone in the Blake family don't want to see her son because of his father.
Now, her mother wants to get her married to the prince Irk from the royal family of Myrtle, which is the present ruling family.
In the city of Arizona, there are two ruling royal family. The family of the Myrtle which is the richest and most powerful family who has ruled the city for fifty years and the second royal family, the family of Arora which seems to have been forgotten in the history of Arizona.
Sharon's life has been chaotic because of her mother. She knows there is no way she can escape from her mother this time too just like five years ago.
Not only are the Blake family rich, but powerful and influential too. Where can she even run to if she decides to run away from the Blake family? She knows it is just a waste of time to run away.
As she stoops down crying.
A four years old boy, the splitting image of his Evans comes to her.
"Mummy, why are you cry?" Ethan asks in his childish voice.
Sharon raises her head up to look at her own son who always remind her of his father. Even though she did not love Evans, he could see him through Ethan.
Ethan reminds her so much of his father, sometimes she will feel guilty seeing Ethan's face as if looking at Evans. It makes her remember Evans' sad face when he came to her to ask her to save him five years ago.
She cleans the tears on her face and force a smile seeing her boy, she seems to have a little hope now after looking at Ethan's face.
"Mummy is not crying" Sharon tries to hide her tears from Ethan.
But these four years old already knows about what is going on in the Blake family. The hatred towards him was not hidden from him and was always shown towards him by everyone in the Blake family.
And he knows that anytime his mother wants to shed him from the Blake family, his grandmother Daisy always pass the aggression to his mother.
"Did grandmother scold you again?" Ethan asks looking at his mother's wet face.
Sharon sniffs and hug her son, she doesn’t know how a four-year-old will be this smart and nothing could escape his eyes.
"No" she shakes her head.
"Mummy, don't worry. I will take you away from the Blake family soon" he said to his mother looking so serious as they hug each other.
Hearing what her child said, tears fall from Sharon's eyes. She knows that getting married into the royal family of the Myrtle is not something that will only affect her alone, but also her son.
She can endure anything, but what of her son? The royal family of the Myrtle don't even know that she has a child already, only the Blake family knows about Ethan.
Which means she will be leaving Ethan with the Blake family who hate him so much if she agrees to marry into the royal family of the Myrtle.
Thinking about it all, her mind becomes shattered, she feels sad at the thought of leaving her child.
"I wish your father will appear at this moment" Sharon thinks crying.
