Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 139

"I want my mommy and dad's love!"

Zoe unleashed the monster of eternal loneliness, letting out his years of unfulfilled desires. A long yet meaningful evening was the hardest part of my motherhood for me.

Harming your own child was the last thing a mother could do, and in my case, Zoe was ignored due to my love for Jane in my Villa. As the only child, Jane had received my care and attention, growing up into a lovely young girl, even Bright loved her dearly now.

So, Zoe's insecurities and complaints were a clear sign that he was jealous of his own younger sister. The inadequate affection of any parental figure had grown hostility in his heart, driving him to the edge that he encouraged his fellows to hurt Jane.

After hearing Zoe's painful story, I was able to understand his agony, no words seemed to be appropriate to apologize or promise his rightful place in the family. So, I grasped his tiny arms, pulling him closer to my chest.

"Remember o-one thing, my little prince!"

My tongue tripped over the thoughts clamoring my mind for attention, there was a lot to tell him about, but we didn't get much time to spend with each other. This was our chance to express our emotions.

As Zoe didn't squirm or flinch, I clutched him to my chest, securing him in my loving embrace. Voicing my deep longings for my firstborn felt like the right thing to do before my young, sensitive kid.

"When I found out about you, that was the happiest day of my life, Zoe. It was an out of the world feeling of being a whole new person, a tiny life dependent on me brought a great scene of purpose to my world.

I thought that I would never be alone again …"

My true feelings sounded like transparent speech, touching Zoe's heart. The power of truth convinced him to shatter the self-imposed shackles of negativity and to look at us in a brand-new light.

He listened to me carefully, noticing every single detail; however, it wasn't an end to it. As our conversation went on smoothly, he confessed his regrets, which were eating him inside.

"I felt bad to see Jane in trouble, mommy. When she cried, I gave her my candy!"

His innocent method of consoling his sister depicted his pure-hearted sentiments. There was hope for him to learn good things about the sacred bond of siblings and behave like a proper brother.

So, I turned to get expert help in this regard, contacting my exemplary brother, Henry.

Henry guided his nephew to be extra vigilant, and then we arranged a housewarming party for Zoe, officially welcoming him in our lives.

We took off from our work and dedicated the entire day to our little prince, decorating the whole Villa. Balloons, fairy lights, jumping castle in the yard, swimming pool accessories, we planned tons of fun activities for Zoe, making him our prime focus.

His response to these settings was priceless. "Is this for me?"

Widening his round eyes, Zoe gawked at the poolside party we arranged, he couldn't help but lean against a chair.

"It's my party?

Oh, my gosh!

It's real. I have a party!"
