The Billionaire that I once Ignored

" You are drunk again woman?" my mom question as I entered our house. "Nah just a little bit tipsy" and started to climb in our grand staircase. I'm already in the middle when my mom speak again "how long will you be like this? it's been 3 years yet you still acted like it just happened yesterday." I turned my back and face my mom. "I don't how long I will be like this. If you just told me earlier I won't experience this pain. If you just tell it to me when I'm still in the Philippines maybe we can still be in each other arms" my tears started to fall. "you know how much I love him mom but because of your lies, it destroyed everything." "I know I've made a mistake but I won't let your relationship with King destroyed everything we have. Everything I've done, I've done it because of you." "You do it for me? How come it is for me? You let King's parents believe that I'am Uncle Duke's child in you. Why? because you wanted to break Auntie Carol's hearts to make them pay for what you have experienced in the past? Mom, knowing that I'm just your adopted child won't hurt me and won't lessen my love for you. But letting them know that I'm yours and Uncle Duke's daughter, breaks my heart into pieces. How come the father of my fiance is also my father. That's the first question that comes up in my mind. I'm happy yet broken after hearing that revelation. Happy cuz after 26 years I will have a father but also brokes me cuz my fiance turn to be my sibling. I accepted everything that happened but months after we came back here in Australia you will tell me that what you had said that night is just a lie. That I'm just your adopted daughter and your real child with Uncle Duke died a long time ago. You trick everyone for your sake mom how can you do this to me, to us." I can't hold my feelings anymore for 3 years I don't talk to my mom about what happens in the past. I learn to leave with it. "It is better for everyone to know that you are my child to my ex than for them to know that you are not my biological daughter. I do it not because I wanted to destroy them, but I have done that because I'm protecting you. If your Papang and Uncles will know that you not my biological daughter you will not get a single cent from the company. Yes, I have money to give you a luxurious life but that's not enough. The company should be yours because I'm the one who builds that again and makes it an empire." answer that I wanted to know for years. How can my life become so complicated? "that's why I told you that no one should know that you are not my biological daughter. You are the reason why I started to build myself again that's why I will do my best to protect you." "I appreciate you so much mom, even I'm not your child by blood you treated me as your real daughter. But while protecting me you also destroy me. Goodnight mom, let's stop this conversation it won't fix what happens in the past." "give me more time and I promise you, you can go back to your King." I went straight to my room and ignored what my mom has said. What happens in the past remains in the past all I need to do is protect the empire, what my mom's protecting.
