Chapter 92

Your mother told you that a bad woman stole your father away and that she was going to defeat her and bring your father back, but actually, your mother is the thief here" Ethan said. Mira was quiet. Her mother did say those things to her. How did her father know? But she knew that this was not the time to care about those things do. "Your mother stole a woman's husband and a five year old kid's father. Vanessa and I were in love and we got married as expected. But who knew that your scheming b*tch mother was already calculating how she was going to ruin our lives? She drugged me and pretended to be Vanessa so she could sleep with me and have you!" Ethan said. Mira could not help but cover her mouth to prevent herself from shouting out loud She never thought, that her mother was someone who would go to such lenghts to steal a man. Drugging him..... It never occurred to Mira that she was actually doing the same thing that her mother did right now. She always felt that she was right and that Ryder did love her. Just like, she did not want to come out from the lies that she had built for herself. She wanted to continue to believe that a man who did not love her really did love her because of her own selfishness. Ethan saw the shock that washed past Mira's face and he chuckled. To think that she would know how to be shocked. Of course, she should be shocked after knowing for herself the exact type of person that her mother was. "She told me that she was going to leave the country after that. I thought that she had given up so even though I hated that woman to the bones, I never actually thought about doing anything to her. I thought they well, since it has already happened, let's just let go and live our own lives. Who knew that I was an idioit who was getting played by her? She got pregnant just as she wanted and she had you in secret! Ha! She told you that your father was taken away from you? She was hiding from everyone and looking for the best way to strike so that she could steal the man that did not belong to her at all! What do you think of that Mira ? Your mother is someone who would go to such lenghts! I hate her! I really hate her a lot! I hate that woman Brenda a lot!" Ethan said. "My life wasn't always this good. In the beginning, I did not have anything. I just wanted to give my daughter and my wife a good life. I came to country F to work but I found out that it was a scam! I lost all of my money. And then I met your money! Maybe, I won't hate your mother so much if I didn't find out that the whole scam was something that your mother set up so that she could get me to country F! She said that she was going to help me but she tricked me to get married to her! I didn't know that I was signing a marriage certificate! I wanted to leave immediately! I wanted to get a divorce from her but she told me about you!" Ethan said. Mira was silently crying. She could see for herself now how much her father hated her mother now. She regretted it. She really regretted it now! She should not have asked to know! Everything would have been fine if she did not know about the things that her mother had done. "So, did you come to my mother because of me?" Mira asked, whole choking between her sobs. She did not know what she wanted the man's answer to be right now. She really did not know. Ethan sneered when he heard that. He stayed because of her? What kind of joke was that? He already had a wife and a daughter that he loved the most. Why would he stay because of a child that he just about her identity? "No! I didn't stay because of you. I already had my wife and my daughter back then, so why should I stay because of you ? I told your mother that if she wants I can take responsibility for you but she should never think about breaking up my family but your mother....that woman...she has a large appetite! She did not appreciate how nice I was to her! She actually dared to threaten me! She threatened me with Vanessa and Scarlet's life! Vanessa had already left her family, she only had her daughter by her side. I could not put the people I love the most in danger so I stayed because of her! It was never because of you!" Ethan said. He did not know why, but he wanted Mira to feel the pain of despair and not being able to do anything, the same pain that he felt back then. He wanted Brenda's daughter to feel it. He could no longer do anything to her since he already killed Brenda anyway. He could only vent his anger this way. Mira wasn't trying to hide her tears. She was sobbing loudly now. She did not know.... She did not know at all. She did not know that such things had happened when she was just five But how on Earth was she supposed to know? As her father had said, her mother did hide it well from her. She did not let her come in contact with all of these bad things in her life. Maybe Ethan felt like the blow that Mira had received wasn't enough for him so he wanted to add to it. He wanted to let Mira feel exactly what he felt back then. "Do you really think that your mother loved you?" Ethan asked. Mira looked up at her father with tears in her eyes when she heard that. She had received a lot of blow today. She had seen that her mother was not someone that she thought that she was at all. But the thing that she did not want to doubt at all was her mother's love. She did not want to doubt that her mother loved her at all. Because she knew that her mother loved her a lot. She felt that this was the only consolation that she had in this world. After living a life of lies, she wanted to believe that at least her mother's love for her was real. She did not want anyone to tell her that it wasn't real at all. She knew that she was going to break down for real if even her mother's love for wasn't real at all. So for that reason, she did not want to believe it at all. She did not want to believe that her mother's affection for her wasn't real. She wanted to hold on to this for the rest of her life. "No....don't tell me that. Don't tell me that my mother doesn't love me. I know that she loved me a lot. She loves me. I know how best she treated me. She really did love me a lot. So don't try to hurt me even more by doing this. I know that she loves me...I know....I know" Mira said. She sounded as if she was putting on her last struggle. The truth was that after all the things that she heard today, she wasn't sure if her mother loved her at all after all. She had seen her mother wasn't what she appeared to be in front of her. She has to give it to her mother. She was someone who could pretend for the greater part of her life. It really was amazing. Ethan let out a dry laugh when he heard that. "I already gave you a choice from the beginning. You could have chosen to forget about all of these things. You did not have to know about the heartless and inhumane things that your mother have done... but you wanted to know. I have to tell you this Mira. There is no way that you can back out of it halfway. You have to know all of these things" Ethan said. Actually, he had another reason for telling Mira all of this. There was no one in thier right mind who would be able to stand the things that Brenda had done. Anyone with a brain would feel disgusted by it. He was hoping that Mira would see that she was going down the same road as her mother right now and she was going to stop trying to steal Scarlett's husband away from her. He owed Scarlett a lot. He knew that he would never be able to repay her fully in this life but he still had to do the things that he could do. He could still find a way to stop Mira from going after her husband so that she could have a good life! "Your mother was someone who had a completive streak. She always wanted to have everything that she set her eyes on. She tried to go after me but I already have Vanessa so I did not even consider her so she came up with schemes, planning for five years to get it. I'm telling you that she only had you because she did not want to lack in anything that Vanessa has. Vanessa had her husband so she stole her away. Vanessa had her own daughter so she had you. You were her last bargaining chip so she had to rest you well. That woman Brenda wasn't someone who cared about anyone else. She cared about herself only. As long as she was satisfied, nothing else mattered. That was why she was okay with pretending that I loved her when she knew very well that I did not love her at a. What do you think of that? That's your good mother!" Ethan said. Mira had to know all of this. So she knows better than to go after someone's husband. Mira was sobbing quite loudly now. Her mother....she really did do those things... As a woman herself...she was angry.. The man did not love her but she did not even care about any of that she just wanted to keep him to herself. Was her mother crazy? She was crazy to the point that she did not care about anything else expect for the fact that she could have the man that she wanted.... This wasn't normal at all! Ethan saw that this was the best moment to strike to he continued talking. "You think about it yourself Mira. You are doing the same exact thing that your mother did back then. Your mother did all that she could to steal Vanessa's husband. And now Vanessa finally has a daughter and you want to steal her husband? Are you trying to follow in your mother's footsteps?" Ethan asked her. This was the point of everything that he just said. He wanted Mira to be so disgusted by the acts of her mother so she would give up. If she had any humanity left in her, she would give up now while it was not too late. Mira shook her head. No....she wasn't as bad as mother...she wasn't as bad as her mother at all...she wasn't doing the same thing that her mother did at all.... She was different from her mother. Her mother did not love her mother but she still wanted him and she did everything to make him stay by her side.
