Book 2 of Night Shift
My whole body feels dull as I watch my kids play with their stepmother.
I sometimes wonder if they know that I'm their real mother and not the woman they're with now.
I'm the one who had them with Dana, but now I'm watching them from a distance, which makes me angry because that should be me, not Dana.
Either way, if I fight for my rights, it will take a lot of time and work, but now is not the right time. My children should know about me first, and I'll make sure that Remon suffers the same way I have in the last few years, when I have been lost in sadness and pain.
"Look at them living in peace, as if they didn't hurt anyone or steal their kids." I just shrug my shoulders and drink the beer I'm holding. Thana is now standing next to me. Having a drink while feeling angry.
"Let them do it, I'll get what's mine when the time is right." After drinking the beer, I slowly wipe my mouth and smirk at Dana. She looks in my direction, and I can feel the tension in the way she looks at me.
I know she knows who I really am, but she didn't care about that when she took away my family life. I can't blame her, though, because it wasn't just Dana's choice. Remon made the same choice. But if they want to do that, I won't stop them, even though my kids are involved.
I look at Thana and call her name. I walk, and my chest gets heavier with each step. I want nothing but my children. Because they are the only ones I left behind when I broke up with Remon, and to be honest, I miss them. I don't think of that as a breakup. He just left me in a bad place and made me feel like I wasn't good enough to be a mother. But God knows I deserve to be a mother, and no one can tell me I can't be a good one.
Who has earned it, Dana? I don't think so, because if Dana is in a good mood, she won't take my kids away from me. They can make their own lives, but not my twin.
"Calm down, I've asked you before, and you said, "I can help you." You don't need help to do it." I rolled my eyes when Thana opened the car door.
"I'll get what I had, but I have to be patient and wait. Now is not the time."
"If today isn't the right time, tell me when it is, because you know that if you keep saying that, the right time might pass you by again."

But Elena unveiled her true identity: the heiress of a massive fortune, famed hacker, top jewelry designer, secret author, and gifted doctor. Horrified by her glorious comeback, her adoptive parents demanded half her newfound wealth. Elena exposed their cruelty and refused. Her ex pleaded for a second chance, but she scoffed, “Do you think you deserve it?” Then a powerful magnate gently proposed, “Marry me?”
Janice, the long-forgotten legitimate heiress, made her way back to her family, pouring her heart into winning their hearts. Yet, she had to relinquish her very identity, her academic credentials, and her creative works to her foster sister. In return for her sacrifices, she found no warmth, only deeper neglect. Resolute, Janice vowed to cut off all emotional bonds. Transformed, she now stood as a master of martial arts, adept in eight languages, an esteemed medical expert, and a celebrated designer. With newfound resolve, she declared, "From this day forward, no one in this family shall cross me."
For ten years, Daniela showered her ex-husband with unwavering devotion, only to discover she was just his biggest joke. Feeling humiliated yet determined, she finally divorced him.
