A Trillionaire’s Revenge

CHAPTER 31

The party had ended, Lydia had left too, but with a promise that she'd help me figure out something before the lunch with senator Jackson. I had been too engrossed in my problems that I'd lost track of time and didn't realize when José left. I felt I was lacking as a friend.

"Princess!" I hear my mom say.

"Hello, mother." I answer, wanting to the conversation to end as quickly as possible. I had seen my father before the party begun, and left him to sleep. I would check on him right after she left.

"You were too busy sipping wine and talking to complete strangers that you didn't have time to check on your own child? Familiar, but I'm not surprised."

She rolls her eyes, "For the love of God, you mustn't always ruin the mood." She says, throwing her hands in the air. "You should understand my duties, when you become a mother you would understand me, I'm sure."

"Never, mom. That will never happen, I will die first before I become anything like you. I wouldn't put my child through that." I say.

She pokes my head with her index finger. "Have some manners! Don't you read the Bible? Don't talk to your mother that way." She yells and walks off.
