"Why didn't you even came asking me how was I am doing, Mom?

" Valentina asked and Amelia's tears started falling down as she called her Mom.

n

"If your father gets to know that I am looking after you... He will kill both of us... It's fine with whatever he does with me... I don't want you to get into any trouble... I want to send you away from here... But your father is not a good person... He will surely find you wherever you are!

" Amelia answered and Valentina took a deep breath.

n

"Didn't you want to meet me and talk to me as a daughter? Not even once?

" Valentina asked and Amelie nodded her head in yes.

n

"I want to... I want to do everything with you as a mother does with her daughter... I want to ask how you are doing and how was yoir days are going? And what are you eating? Everything... But... I was scared... Just scared of losing you...

" Amelia said as she cried.

n

"I don't want to lose you, Valentina... You are my only child... There is no wonder in your thinking... Everyone will think like that when they see me behaving so cruelly with you... I am really, my daughter... I am really sorry.

" Amelia said making tears fall down from Valentina's eyes.

n

"Things were so messed up... Your father was watching me... I just don't want you to be in trouble... Whatever happens to will happen but I can't let anything happens to you... My heart used to cry a lot when he comes to beat you and it will break it into pieces when you started crying so badly with pain... I what to come to you and hug you tightly but your father never used to leave me alone... He would have tried every possible way with me to give birth to a son... But I couldn't...

" Amelia said as she lowered her head in front of Valentina.

n

"I just couldn't take it from him every day but still, I did my best... But... I couldn't give him any son... I begged him to not abort you when you are in my womb but he didn't listen to me... I tried my best and told him... I will do my best to give him a son... He waited 3 years... After you were born... But I couldn't give him a son... He used to hurt me so badly in our bedroom... But I didn't open my mouth because I know, he will take that all out on you... As he waited 3 years for me to give him a son... I couldn't... And so, he sends you to the darkroom... I was at least happy that he is letting you stay in this mansion... Somewhere in the corner... In front of my eyes... He took promises from me to not meet you and talk to you...

" Amelia said as tears fall down from her eyes.

nValentina closed her eyes and she saw her mother crying vulnerable... She didn't though her father is making her suffer too and her mother did all this because she doesn't want her father to hurt her in any way.

n

"But the damage was already done... Your daughter is hurt now... It would have been so happy life for me even if you come to me once and talk to me about things going on... I would have tried to understand my best...

" Valentina said and Amelia nodded her head.

n

"I know... I am sorry that I didn't try to come to you and talk to you even once. But... I was in a position that every way for me is closed to meet... I don't have any way to meet you or talk to you... He has people watching in the house to keep an eye on me and you as well...

" Amelia replied and Valentina took a deep breath.

n

"Do you think, everything will alright if we talk about all these things right now?

" Valentina asked and Amelia shook her head in no.

n

"No... Absolutely it will not... Things will not be alright between us... I agree... I totally agree... But I couldn't do anything... This is what was going on with mine and your life... I tried to talk to you after Anthony's death but things were out of our hands... I was so busy in looking after companies and you were busy with college but later, when you start looking after the companies you got busy... We wouldn't have any time to talk... You were so busy and soon enough you decided to leave this house... I want to stop you but you never let me talk... To you... I thought you need some space. So, that you will come around... But I didn't think that you will go away from me like this and will understand me like this.

" Amelia said making Valentina take a deep breath.

n

"I am really sorry for whatever I did, Valentina... I am really sorry... Just one chance all I am asking for... Only one chance... Please give me... I know, I will not be a perfect mom... But I will try to be a good mother to you who can look after her daughter... Until I breathe on this earth!

" Amelia said.

n

"Please, Valentina... Only one chance to prove myself as your mother... I don't want anything more in my life but you... I want to see you happy calling me Mom every day... I want to spend time with you as I couldn't do it when you are a child... I want to cook for you daily and make you eat my food... I want to show you how much I love you.

" Amelia said with tears as she looked into Valentina's eyes.

n

"You will not hurt me if I give you a chance... Will you?

" Valentina asked.

n

"I will never... I promise.

" Amelia answered with a bright smile and tears in her eyes.

n

"Okay...

" Valentina replied making Amelia blink her eyes.
