Episode 39
âGrace, am sorry Baby. am sorry you had to learn this way but your real parents had the rights to be part of your life that is why I helped set up this meetingâ Jack stood seeing how devastated she was all her makeup had worn out.
âNo jack, you were wrong, in fact you know what? I donât need any of you. I cannot have a mother who damped me minutes after bringing me into the world, a father who goes about sleeping about like a teenager and another mother who I donât even know after all, she is a lieâ Grace spoke looking at each of them Ben begged for her to understand her mother.
âPlease understand, we looked for you and..â
âThe reason you were looking was because I was not with you from birth and that was not anyoneâs fault but this woman, no Uncle Ben or whatever your name is, itâs too late to play mother and father to me now, I only had one parent that was at least honesty with me and he is dead. The rest of you I donât even know what to think of youâ she shook her head as tears flow down her eyes she made no effort to wipe them.
âPlease forgive me, I have lived haunted more than half my life for what I did, I just want my baby girl back. Am so sorry for being away for so long, I love you Grace you have to believe me. I love you and we need you as part of our livesâ Jena sobbed loudly.
âAm sorry, itâs too late for now donât you think? Just leave me alone. Leave me alone you allâ she added and waked away Diana tried to follow her but she turned to her and raised her hand.
âYou too mom. By the way how did you make sure I could not remember them? You stole me at 5 years old and the only memory I have is being at some big house with two people that told me I was their daughter. I recall so well, how you tried by all means to let me know I was your daughter and that you would take care of me. Just how did you do that?â she asked standing straight
âDonât do this Grace, please donâtâ Diana cried but she shook her head.
âYou will not tell me that will you? Well, forget about me âGrace turned and walked away Jack had to run to her as she got to where the vehicles were parked.
âAm sorryâ Jack stood close to her holding her shoulder as she cried softly.
âGrace, am so, so sorry, I didnât mean to hurt youâ he whispered puling her into a hug as she turned to look at him her face wet
âI know, but I donât even know what to do Jack, I have lived a lie my entire life, with a woman capable of faking death. She lied to me all these years âshe whispered
âI know am sorry, Jena and Ben told me the entire truth, I think you should give them a chance Grace they have been through a lot, look at herâ he paused pointing back at where Ben was rubbing his wife`s back comforting her Diana was still standing where Grace had left her.
âShe is suffering, I have seen her and heard her talk about how much they wanted to find you, itâs not fair what they are going through you knowâ he added
âJack, she gave me away, I was only minutes old and she threw me away. She is just the same with my motherâ Grace wiped her tears.
âThink about it baby, just give it sometime and think about thisâ Jack advised her.
âCan we go home now, you told me you have a house now, can I stay with you for a while?â she asked him.
âof course, whatever you want, let me just get your bags then, go sit in my carâ he added and led her into the car he rushed back to get the bags from Diana`s car.
âThis is what you wanted you b! How dare youâ Diana spoke to him coldly as he pulled the bags towards his car.
âJust go home mom, please, am not to blame for your mistakes, I just want what is best for herâ he sighed and ignored her walking away.
âI will call you later, I think itâs best this is resolved some other timeâ he told Ben who nodded his head.
âThank you Jackâ Ben smiled before Jack could leave his side.
âYeah, I just want her to be happyâ he smiled back.
âYeah, I know you are a good person, take care of her. And be assured we will never give up on her, she is our baby and we will get her back one day. âBen assured him.
âAm sure of that, take care of your wife now will you?â he looked at Jena in the car and walked away.
Grace looked out the car window as they drove out watching Ben who was looking at their direction. She looked down her hands sniffing in the tears.
âYou will be okey Graceâ Jack whispered holding her hand she looked at him and faked a smile,
âYeah, sureâ she shrugged sadly and looked out the window she could not let him see how sad and broken she was feeling at the moment.
âWe will never have her, she hates me âJena shook her head as Ben joined her in bed that night.
âNo my love, she was just hurt and overwhelmed by everything, she will come around you will seeâ he tried to comfort his wife.
âI have searched and hoped to find her, now that I had her that close, I cannot help feel she will never want us in her life, Diana destroyed her mind and she hates me, she is right anyway who..â
âStop now Jena, you cannot live your entire life beating yourself over the mistake that happened years agoâ
âyes, years ago but it still haunts me up to date, just look at me, I had no power to even defend myself, she was right none of us deserve her, she is better off without me or that Dianaâ she sobbed folding herself in the sheets Ben lad down next to her holding her close.
âYou are no Diana my love, never you compare yourself to that woman, never! You hear me? I will die before letting her win thisâ Ben uttered determined and kissed his wifeâs forehead rubbing her back.
