Chapter 1

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."

...

The people in front of me were restless as they were all shouting and acting as if the decision that dad said was not possible.

After four years, I never wasted those times when my children was not with me. I made sure that all my efforts had consequences.

"How! That's the illegitimate daughter of–" I looked at her evilly and smiled. And who should inherit? Papa's fake daughter.

Besides that, Dad's law firm is loud and buzzing because their attorneys are good. Everything is possible for them. All those who dream of becoming an attorney are here. The first thing they dream about

"What do you know about running a law firm? It's your own daughter. You can't fight her. " She didn't stop, and I stood up. I didn't take Dad with me because I knew that his pain would get worse because of his hard-faced staff.

"If you don't want to accept Dad's decision, I won't force anyone of you to. I'll make you a resignation letter myself and just sign it. And one more thing: how are you sure, huh? First everyone, you don't care about my personal life, and if I get involved in things that I shouldn't cover, we might all end up in trouble." There was one person who wouldn't budge. They were really stubborn. They don't know the word "stop."

"Accept it. You are weak for your children, and you will also be weak for handling this form" I didn't finish it and dropped the paper and ball pen in front of them.

"Accept it. I am the one who will be followed no matter how weak I am. You are the one to leave if you don't want to listen to me. Your face is thick enough for me to adjust to you. You know your place. I am your boss here, and I will respect you, as long that you also respect, not as your boss, but as a person. And I am just following what my father said. So shut up or get out of this place, it's not hard top find new people at the other law firm who will listen to me," he grinned and brought his face closer to mine.

Their faces are hard, as I expected. I'm not going to underrate the staff. I know my place, I just don't know about them. If they know where they belong

"No one will listen to you; you are not on our level." I laughed loudly, and they all looked at me very badly. Of course, they will side with Papa's daughter. His wife's liar's face is really thick.

"How much did Loraine pay you to be rude to the real daughter of Protasio Santos II, huh? Where did you study if you are so small and mean to people? Is it right to call you a brave defender if you behave like that? I will stink of stench and be filled with evil behavior, and you will despise me. Poor people around you," None of them said a word, and it was as if they were belittling me."

"I'll call Papa. You can complain all you want. I'll find a replacement for you. I don't need you here if you behave like that." I pushed the paper, "Write down your name, or make your own resignation letter. I'm expecting it tomorrow, if you don't do either of the two. Then I'm expecting some professionalism here. Stop attacking me about my personal issue, if you don't want us to make a stink. " Revo appeared with a big belly and frowned.

"Come on, come with me." She held my hands and looked problematic. She looked pregnant. It's annoying.

"Didn't I tell you not to deal with those without me?" She looked concerned and closed the door of her office. I immediately reached for the wine and glass. I drank it and felt the bitterness. This is the reason why I am alive: to feel all kinds of pain and bitterness.

"It's annoying, Revo, so you're going to help me with Giorre. And I don't want to go to law school. I'd be even more crazy than what I'd do if that happened." Revo laughed and showed some pictures of two kids, her son included. It's the third child in her womb.

"Yes, but you can't avoid being rude, especially since you don't know much and they will take advantage of it. They will use it for their own reasons. I don't want that, so I advise Uncle Protasio that there are other shareholders. But it is difficult and you are obliged to Yhra. Please understand the situation." I shook my head and sipped the wine.

"My children, I need them. I need to get them back no matter what. I didn't endure four years for nothing. I was annoyed while looking at the photo I had of Remon and Danary. One of the heiresses of DLG.

"I didn't expect that. Remon is such a good guy. It turns out that there is something hidden. You should think about it. It's good that Lesley marries Lian, even though she was a girl at first." I get angry and bite every time Remon is praised. He is too plastic and he has no loyalty. He and Dana will claim my children.

Revo sighed and grabbed the wine bottle and glass from me. "With my bare hands, I want to slaughter, kill, and crash him."

"Prepare for the real battle. Anger won't help you win back what is yours, Yhra. Because your enemy is not just Remonise, it's his whole family. And the crazy parents of Dana" I realized and stared at Revo for a moment.

"I'm leaving. I have to visit Papa and Mama. Yhna might have a headache." I walked out and down the parking lot. I started driving, but the direction of my car was towards the house where I became miserable. When I suffer, that house is a witness.

I almost got my bag when the color of the house changed and the atmosphere was happy and enthusiastic. I don't know why my heart jumped with joy when I heard the cry of the child who was playing.
