**Ari**
“Oh my goodness!!!!” Kate screamed..
“Mom, are you okay?” I asked.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Oh my baby I thought you were dead” She said amidst tears.
“Monica dear it’s you” She hugged me and continued crying.
“What do you mean mom?” Alex asked to collect the locket from her, he had a shocked expression and also hugged me.
“So you have been alive all this while?” He asked and I was just dumbfounded.
“Okay I don’t understand any of this” I said shocked
“Your name is Ariana Monica Montero that’s the M. M on your bracelet and have you even ever opened this locket because it as our family photograph in it, My child”
“It all happened when you were four months old we all decided to go on a family trip but on our way we had a accident, When I opened my eyes I was at the hospital your father had died, you were not found and since the car burnt down we all felt you were in it so the police declared you dead”.
“I cry every single night thinking I lost you my dear” She said.
“Oh my goodness!!!” I cried out hugging her.
“Mom? you are really my mom?” Kate nodded.
“Petra I have a mom” I said crying out tears.
“I have a mom, who left me as a kid, I have a mom who didn’t even want to look for me, seriously?” I shouted as I ran out of the house.
I could hear shouts and pleadings for me to come back, but I just want to be alone.
I rushed into our old house and laid on the bed crying.
I had a mom all this while and I thought I wasn’t needed.
“You never wanted to meet us or be my sister right?” I heard Petra’s voice.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“I’m not saying what happened is good but you won’t have been part of my family, did you even think it would have been easy on her? Why are you being inconsiderate?”.
She’s right I think I just overreacted.
“I’m sorry” I whispered.
“You shouldn’t be saying sorry to me, you should be apologising to mom” She said
I nodded.
“I know it’s hard on you, but even without knowing you are her daughter, she loved you” Pet said as she pulled me into a hug.
“Let’s go back home” I said standing up and adjusting my makeup.
30mins later…..
We got home, I ran inside, mom was sitting on the couch alongside everyone, she stood up immediately, I ran into her arms.
“I’m sorry mom,” I pleaded, crying.
“It’s okay baby” she coddled.
Alex joined in the hug.
We all hugged, just then Kelly spoke up, we all totally forgot about her.
“Since we all are speaking up, I have a confession to make….”.
“Seeing all this reunion makes me wanna say this even though she might kill me when she finds out…”
“Liam, Skyler knew I loved you, so she actually made me an offer to come over here and destroy things here while she gets her surgery done, I’m so sorry but she threatened to kill me” Kelly blurted out.
“Whatttt!!!!!” We all said in shock.
“I’m so sorry” she said and went on her knees.
“It’s okay Kelly, mom said walking towards her, if you are ready to change then we are good” She said hugging her.
“Yea welcome to the family” Liam said and we all laughed.
“Well I don’t mean to spoil the moment but it’s late I need to get back to the hotel” Preston said.
“No way brother in law, this house is big enough, you are staying here and no excuses” Alex said.
“But” Preston tried to protest
“No buts son, your showing up tonight reunited me with my daughter and I am grateful for that” mom said pecking my cheeks.
“Ok ma’am, and Alex please brother in law makes me feel old” Preston said and we all laughed.
“Well what do we do about skyler?” Kelly asked
“Well keep her updated, tell her everything that happened here I need to get a message across” Petra said and I know what she means.
Yea that’s right, the message really needs to get across” I chipped in.
“What are you girls up to?” Kelly asked
“Well you all will see” we said, pecking her and heading up.
“Ari I thought you would spend some time with mom, ” Kate called.
“Well mom we have all the time in the world and if you’re interested today is girls night so you can cut in” I said.
“And Kelly when you are done, you are included sis” Petra said and we all laughed.
“Well I have got nothing to do” she stood up and followed us including Kate, We all headed to the room laughing.
