Chapter 217 – Mom Part 3
Kyle asked not to tell grandpa that mom was still alive and already here with us. Grandpa was still recovering from his illness, and it will definitely shock him when he finds out that his daughter, who he thought died a long ti ago, was actually alive.
Jayden left in my father's bedroom to spend ti with mom. Kyle and father didn't go and stayed behind.
"That's your husband?" Mom asked.
I smiled at her and nodded.
"We also have a son. His na's Caden." I answered.
"Oh, that's nice. And Kyle?" She asked, looking at Kyle.
"Emily's pregnant. I'll introduce you to her." He answered.
Father was staring at mom, looking at her bruises. He had a dark expression on his face, and I knew he was fuming with anger.
"Catherine, what happened to you? I'm sorry to cut off your conversation. I know you wanted to talk to your mother and share everything with her. But we need to know first what happened. Why did you suddenly appear unconscious and naked?" Father asked with a frown on his face.
Mom sighed, looking at father.
"After giving birth to Margaret, he took her away from . I didn't even have a chance to hold her. I asked him where she would take her and his plan. He forced to drink sothing; that was the last ti I saw my daughter. When I woke up, I was in a house I didn't know." Mom started.
She looked at and touched my face.
"I was chained, caged, and blindfolded. I was beaten, tortured, and raped. I wanted to die. But I wanted to know what happened to you. I waited until I overheard so of Benjamin's n talking about his daughter. I knew it was you. I found out he kept you in a mansion with his servants. I was relieved that he didn't hurt you, but I was always afraid that he would do sothing to you soday." She paused.
"Benjamin talked to once, telling that you have found a guy that you want to marry. He was mad because he discovered that the man was Lucia's son. So he did everything to separate you from him. I don't know the reason, but he had a grudge on the Castello's for a long ti. He said he would tell you who your real father is and make you believe that Matthew killed Lucia."
I frowned. It was the day he received a ssage from his foster, asking her to et with him. He gave her all the information about his father and showed her his photo with Jayden's mother.
"I knew you ran away months after finding out about your father and Lucia. Benjamin didn't expect that you would actually do that. He said that your fiance was asking him for a eting. He didn't want to tell him why you ran away, so he went abroad, making everyone believe that he went on a business trip."
I was listening to mom's story. Jayden told her that Benjamin was nowhere to be found when she ran away. He tried to reach out to Benjamin, but his secretary told Jayden that he was abroad for business.
"For all those years that I was held captive, I was hoping that soday one of you would find out how evil Benjamin was. He's a liar and good at deceiving people. He waited for a long ti to get his revenge on the royal family. He made the Rossi's his underlings, letting them crawl under his feet."
She turned to father again. I saw him smile at her. His expression changed a bit, but his face was still dark from listening to her story.
"A few days ago, Benjamin told about the attack that had happened in the palace. He wanted to be his escape and use in exchange for his freedom. He took pictures of and sent them to you. I know he would do everything to get away again, and I don't want to be a part of it. So, I begged one of his servants to help . I threatened him that he would get killed and his family if he remained on Benjamin's side. He was a young man; his wife was pregnant with his second child. I told him I would help him if he would help escape."
"How did you escape?" I asked.
"I asked him to buy a drug that would make look like I'm dead. I knew one doctor who had that drug and told him to go there. I wasn't sure if the plan would be a success. I instructed him to suggest Benjamin bring my lifeless body here once he found out what happened. It was to give you a warning, but in truth, it was my plan. I'm happy everything went as planned. Now, you just have to pretend that the palace was in a frenzy. Tell the people who were present earlier to keep their mouths shut." Mother ordered.
She looked at Kyle, who seed like he was stunned by mom's instructions. He eventually nodded.
"Benjamin won't get away with this. After what he did to you and Margaret, I swear I will kill him slowly." Father exclaid.
Mom turned her gaze to , confused.
"What did he do to you? What happened?" She asked.
I bit my lips and felt my chest tighten.
"I was pregnant when they attacked the palace. I was stabbed by one of his n and had a miscarriage. My child was directly hit on the heart and died." I answered bitterly.
Mom was shocked, covering her mouth. Then tears fell from her eyes. She pulled in her arms, embracing tightly. It was a warm feeling—a mother's love. I didn't imagine that a day would co that I would be able to hug her. I thought I could only wish and dream about this mont.
I wrapped my arms around her as I cried in her arms.
"My baby. I'm sorry I wasn't there. But mom's here now. I would never leave you again. You and your brother, I will be here for you until my last breath.." She whispered.
