"Mom," Christopher snarled, "if you do that, I'll never forgive you my entire life."
His voice was severe, tinged with warning and resolution.
Chandra's heart leaped.
She hissed through gritted teeth, "Christopher Jackson! Did you forget who gave birth to you? You're my biological son whom I raised, and now you're
"Enough!"
Christopher cut her off.
"Are you allowed to do this just because you're my mother? Being my mother isn't an excuse to do evil! Mom, I'm serious. If she dies, I'll never want to see you ever again in my whole life. I'll hate you forever! You've already lost a son. If you want to lose your other son as well, go ahead and kill Sydney and fulfill your selfish desires. I won't be the only one-Xyla won't forgive you either. I'll hate you with my entire being!"
Chandra's hands shook. "Are you not even acknowledging me as your mother? How could you speak like this to me because of that bitch? If you don't want me as your mother, fine!"
She hung up and threw Xyla's phone to the ground, then pulled her phone out to make a call.
"Mom, what are you trying to do?" Xyla asked, grabbing her hand.
"Let me go! I'm going to kill Sydney and destroy all evidence! I still have time."
"No, Mom! You can't do that! Please, I'm begging you!"
"Let me go!" Chandra said with a frown. "Xyla, you're such a fool! We could have done this without anyone noticing, but you told your brother about it and made the entire situation worse. You're putting me in harm's way! There's still time now to salvage the situation. I'll kill her and destroy all evidence. No one will find out we did it. I'm trying to take revenge for you."
"I don't want you to do that for me! You're harming me instead. I wanted to lead a peaceful life, but now you're placing this burden on my shoulders." "This won't burden you. I did it, so I'll shoulder the responsibility. Just go on leading your peaceful life."
"No! Now that I know about it, how can I pretend it didn't happen?"
Chandra shoved her daughter hard. "Xyla Jackson, who gave birth to you? How could you be so weak?"
"Mom, if you insist on doing this, I'm afraid I'll stand with Chris on this."
"What did you say?" Chandra glared at her. "What do you mean by that?"
"Mom, if you kill Sydney, I..." Xyla began through gritted teeth, "I won't acknowledge you as my mother! I don't have such a terrifying mother. This was how you forced Charles to his death. You forced him to marry a woman he didn't love, to do
something he didn't want to eme
He
ended up marrying a wicked woman who was unscrupulous to the point of causing the death of the woman he loved and his child. In fact, she was the indirect cause of his death! Did you forget how Charles died? He..."
"Shut up!" Chandra slapped Xyla hard. "Stop talking! Stop!"
She was very agitated-losing her eldest son was a pain she had been living with.
"Why won't you let me continue talking?" Xyla retorted.
She decided to go all out.
"Charles killed himself! He wasn't in a car accident. You claimed he did because you didn't want the
misfortune to sully our family's reputation. You caused Charles' death! It's all your fault!"
"Shut up!"
Chandra raised a hand to hit Xyla again, but her hand hung in mid-air. She clenched her fist as she swung her arm down.
"You unfilial brat! I'm doing all these for you, but you're turning your back on me and blaming me for this and what happened to Charles! He was a weakling. How could a grown man seek his own death? He's not fit to be my son!" Têxt © .
