Hates Her Mother

His eyes searched for her face and saw fear there. A pang of guilt hit him. 

"Abi, I have something to confess." he did not care if she found him a cheater. But he had to tell her that they were her family. Maybe she would be more confident then.

"Dion, you do not need to worry. I trust you. I know that you have done nothing wrong but they blame you because they think I am the real heiress." She brushed his hair with a look of tenderness and softness. His heart clenched. "I trust you." The words echoed in his mind so hard that mixed with his pulse, he did not hear the rest.

As if a vortex had been opening in his body and it was sucking all his words. He opened his mouth but could speak nothing.

"So, if i have to target, i should start with the daughter of my uncle and my aunt." he nodded slowly. His mind worked slowly, her words hardly reaching for his ears.

He shook his head once, twice before closing his eyes and taking a deep inhale.
