Chapter 0223
The thought of that brings a certain kind of panic inside me. I didn’t want to think of that. I didn’t want to let go of my dream of being with Rowan. I stay quiet as I fight her words in my head.
“Emma?” she calls.
I know her; she wants me to agree. She wants me to tell her that I’ll think about it, but I don’t want to.
I’m saved from answering her when a knock sounds on my door.
have to go, Molly. There is someone at the door” I tell her in a hurry as I walk towards said door.
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing, Em. This…”
I hang up the phone before she can finish her sentence.
Opening the door, I’m surprised to find mom on the other side. She wasn’t smiling, but hope still bubbles
inside me.
She doesn’t wait for an invitation, she just walks in.
“I’m going to make this short,” she says, and all the hope that I had a moment ago shrinks and dies.
I close the door and face her. Looking at her, I fight my tears when I notice the angry fire dancing behind her eyes.

I stare at her wide–eyed. She couldn’t be serious, right? Was she really going to force me to get to know him?
“You can’t be serious, Mom. I don’t want to know him!” I shout, appalled by the idea.
The flicker of fire I had seen in mom’s eyes turns into a blazing inferno. She raises her hand, and I react too slowly. The smack on my face leaves me confused for a while. Still not able to understand what just happened.
place a hand on my cheek and look at her in disbelief. She has never slapped me before. Never.
“You listen to me and listen well; I’m going to give you one chance to fix things with your son and the man you cruelly used and discarded, or I swear to you, Emma, I will disown you. Mark my words. You continue down the path you’re walking, and I’ll consider you dead to me.” She pauses, before continuing.
