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."
