Chapter 12: A Motherâs Pain
That night, Lucas sat alone in the garden.
Rosa found him there.
âYou miss your mother, donât you?â
The boy nodded.
âI know she did bad things.â
âBut she is still my mom.â
Rosa sat beside him.
âThat is okay.â
âYou can love someone and still know they made mistakes.â
Lucas wiped his tears.
âI wish she was different.â
Rosa looked toward the mansion.
âSo do I.â
For the first time, Rosa saw Lucas not as Veronicaâs sonâŠ
But as a child who had also been hurt.
A child forced to choose between loyalty and truth.
Meanwhile, Veronica watched them from the window.
And something inside her finally broke.

She realized the people she hurtâŠ
Were the same people who still cared about her.
