Free Web NovelChapter 232: I Love You! Mom
The burning question Zyair had asked himself innumerable times, the question he had searched the answer for was the last emotion she played with.
But he was done with people playing with his emotions, especially this woman who was the sole reason his life spiralled into hell. The hell he still lived in and endured everyday.
Nothing but pure vile hatred descended in his mostly serene eyes. The serenity this woman on the floor didn’t deserve from him.
"Considering he slept with someone like you, I am guessing he will be as loathsome and despicable as you are or he wouldn’t have abandoned me. No respectable man sleeps with a whore and leaves her pregnant."
He told her with a dismissive shake of his head, the tears burnt the back of his beautiful eyes. Every trace of that sly smile was wiped from her face.
He just wanted her gone, the last time he had seen her he had begged her not to send him away but she showed him no mercy.
"You will regret this, Caeco and you be surprised when the truth will come forward," she replied in a mocking tone as her cunning eyes slithered to Skyla as if threatening him. Irisa knew he had a weak spot now, the woman in his arms. Skyla only watched her in disgust as she was still held close by Zyair who spoke again, unable to hold himself back. He knew this wouldn’t change a thing and yet a part of him wished she would feel a tiny amount of regret.
"I won’t, I will never regret cutting you out of my life for you have ruined me forever. I can’t even let people touch me without feeling disgusted. That’s what your decision did to me."
Meanwhile, Meena had called the security. They rushed inside.
"Remove this woman from my house and she is never to step foot in here again or to be seen near it," Meena sternly ordered. They held her arms, ready to remove her from the premises.
"We will meet again, Caeco," she snickered, her stunning face had a slight bruise because of the slap and punch she had received.
They knew she would most likely go to the media to tell them her sob story but right at that moment, no one cared, they just wanted her to leave.
The door finally closed behind them as she was led away. Meena followed them, ensuring she was escorted out and didn’t make a fuss. Zyair dropped himself on the sofa, clutching his head with his hands.
Emotionally, physically and mentally he was exhausted. The last week had been brutal, nothing went his way.
Skyla stood closer, right between his legs and gently pried his hands away from his head and face. She then slowly took off his mask, revealing his disturbed face to her.
It wasn’t simply pain she found there, it was grief and trauma etched on every inch of it. It broke her fragile heart over and over again.
She just hugged him and he buried his face in her belly.
"Why are we so messed up, Sky? What wrong did we ever do to anyone?" He asked, his voice twinging with burgeoning pain. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"Nothing, this world is the one messed up, not us," she answered, twining her fingers in his hair and combing them.
"Why couldn’t she love me, Sky? All I ever wanted was a tiny amount of her love. For her to look at me with a smile. Today she did but for all the wrong reasons. It wasn’t my choice to be born. How was any of this my fault?" The tears he hadn’t shed in front of his so-called mother finally made their way out of his deep blue eyes and Skyla’s dress soaked them in.
"Some people are incapable of loving anyone but themselves. Their narcissism has no cure. But I am happy that she gave birth to you, Zyair. We were meant to be and sometimes from evil rises good. You are the goodness she birthed for me."
Skyla still couldn’t believe how evil his mother truly was. Selling her own child to be raised in a brothel. She didn’t possess a bone of kindness in her body and someone like Zyair had come out of her womb, it was so difficult to comprehend.
Zyair finally lifted his head, his eyes still shimmered from salty water as he watched his girl in slight awe. Skyla’s fingertips wiped away the last of his tears. They were like tiny splinters that edged their way inside her heart and jagged it open, letting it bleed out. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Every time she promised herself that she wouldn’t let him cry ever again, the evil people always found a way to hurt him again.
"You really slapped her. I couldn’t have ever imagined you doing that. When did my girl become so daring?"
Bold greens melded into swirling ocean blues of his. For a few fleeting seconds they were just lost in each other’s gaze, letting them do the talking instead of their tongues. She finally spoke.
"I take my position as your guardian angel very very seriously. And it’s not my first slap, I had done it in the past as well." A hint of a forlorn smile curved up on her lips. Zyair raised his brow at her and asked.
"Who?"
"Karen, she was pissing me off." The memory was like jabbing a shard of glass in her heart. She had paid a hefty price for that slap but she wasn’t going to tell that to Zyair.
But he wasn’t a kid, he knew Doran would have surely hurt her in retaliation.
"What did he do in turn?" He solemnly asked but they were interrupted before Skyla could say anything. The door opened and Meena entered, she let out a sigh and announced.
"She is gone and I hope for good. I should have punched her some more."
Zyair stood up hastily, letting go of Skyla, he almost rushed to Meena. Not caring in that instant, all he wanted to do was hug the woman who had proved what a mother’s love truly looked like.
He tightly wrapped his big burly arms around the petite woman and embraced her like he had never done before.
Meena was slightly taken aback by his sudden action and show of such raw emotions. Her arms were still limply by her side as Zyair almost lifted her off the ground. But it was his words that left her utterly speechless.
"Thank you! Mom. I love you. Thank you for standing up for me and proving a mother’s love needn’t be related to just blood. I am proud to have you as my mom."
Meena tried to stifle a cry but happy tears slid out of her eyes and soon she was a crying mess in his arms as she hugged him back.
Skyla stood at a distance watching both of them embrace and cry and her eyes became wet as well. Happy tears leaked out and dropped down her chubby cheeks.
This was such a beautiful moment where they had lifted each other and emerged as a strong family.
