Chapter 43: FAMILY HOUSE 4

She sighed before giving an answer, "Yes I do, we were best friends before..." her voice lowered as if trying to conceal her emotions. If she was my mother's best friend how come I never knew her? I knew for a fact mum doesn't have any friends, not that I know of. She clearly said they all betrayed her.

"You must have been really close, but how come I don't know you?" I retracted my hands back to my lap. "We were so close, but we got separated after high school cause she lost her parents in a car accident. How come you don't know any of this?" She asked. "I never got the chance to know my mum better," I said to her.

"You know we grew up together, we were like sisters. I searched everywhere for her but couldn't find her. That was why, when I saw your pictures, I wanted you for Alex that very moment without a second thought." I was agape by this revelation. Did she pick me for her son? How did she find me? I thought Dad sold me off?...
