My Accidental Stepmom

I did everything for you, I killed my father , destroyed my brothers' life , all for you',

But what did I get in return, nothing but

betrayal, why did you do this to me,am your

child!',

Roxy sat on the ground in rags, her face disfigured, chains binding her hands and legs to the wall, as she said these words , she shot at the woman whom she considered as her mother and beside her was an elegant lady who is in her late twenties stood there looking like an angel who had fallen from the sky, but , Roxanne knew that it was a facade for she knows the monster that lies beneath this holy than thou look.

She felt disgusted by the fact that she had looked up to her , considered her as her role model.

I hate you , I hate all of you what have I done

to deserve this, I did everything you asked of

me , I considered myself as your loyal dog,

treated you guys like my closet family, I loved

you guys, why?,why? , I...'

Shut your filthy mouth, why? , do you deserve

to ask this question, who do you think you are,

huh?', Laura interrupted as she gripped her jaw tightly.

Laura , darling what are you doing?,you would dirty your hands, how many times have

I told you not to bother your self with all of

these thing right here', Adriana said as she held Laura's hand to clean it with napkin wipes.

Mom,...…',

PA!

The sound resounded in the empty cage,one side of Roxanne's face swelled up,

Keep quiet!, you brat , don't you dare call

me Mom,you disgust me', Adriana said with absolute disgust on her face.

Roxanne was confused on how things went wrong,why is it like this, what have I done wrong, all I wanted was for them to love me back was that so hard. Laura walked towards Roxanne in her high heels and stepped on her hand that was on the floor with the pointy end of the heel , Roxanne let out a horrifying scream as pain raked through her body,

Oopsy, my bad, did I step on you , I didn't

see you there, my sister are you hurt , can

you feel pain', Laura as she applied pressure on the hand , although she was in pain, Roxanne didn't date scream so she tighten her lips in a firm line trying to swallow the scream that was just about to come out.

Laura, dear, what have you done , you have

to prepare for the wedding tomorrow', Adriana gasped in disbelief as she patted her daughter's head dotingly.

What wedding?, who is getting married?', Roxanne asked weakly as she tried to gasp through the pain.

Oh my bad, how can I forget to tell my

younger sister that am getting married?', Laura gasped as she hit ger her forehead acting as if she forgot something,then she pulled out a wedding invitation with her well maintained fingersand threw it on the ground next to Roxanne. The invitation opened revealing a 3D church pop up with names of the bride and groom written right next to each other.

She turned pale at the sight of those familiar words, name that she knew like the back of her hand, then she shouted screaming

No!,No!,this can't be happening!, it's not him

right?, please tell me it's one of your tricks,

he can't do this to me , I loved him,I gave

him everything that I have',

With an annoyed expression on her face, Laura shouted,

Shut up!',

Adriana took a step towards Laura and grabbed her hand with concern asking,

How many times mist I remind you that you

have to think for you and your baby , didn't

the daughter say that it's not good to be agitated ',

I know, mom I would be careful next time', Laura said as she looked at Roxanne with a smug look on her face. But Roxanne, wasn't paying attention, she felt heartbroken, helpless, so vulnerable,these feelings she never felt it when she was betrayed by thus evil mother and daughter.

Ahhhhhhhh !' She cried out.

Baby, what are you doing here, I told you that

I will come out by myself', Laura said as she poured her pink lips.

I was worried that she would do something to you and our child in a fit of rage',

James said as he walked out of the shadows, towards Laura as he wrapped his arm around her and leaned in to give her a peck on the face.

James, why?, I loved you , I gave you all my

weath left for me by my father, for you to

become who you are now',

But what did I get in return, huh, I don't

deserve this, you and I both know that I

practically put my blood,sweat,and tears...…'

Shut up!, James interrupted rudely as he slapped her across the face that was too much that Roxy spat out a mouth filled with blood, with two of her teeth knocked out.

You don't know how it feels to ask for help

from someone like you, you were so full of

your self that you kept in reminding again

and again how much you sacrificed just to

be with me',

I used to like you before but now , I don't

know why you have change so much', James said.

James finished talking and left with Laura in his arms, who turned around to give , Roxanne a triumphant look mouthing three words,

I have won't.

Adriana looked at Roxanne with a disgust and said,

You want to know why I did all of these', at those words Roxanne nodded hurriedly.

I am not your mother, am not your biological

mother, I only raised you as my own

because you would be beneficial to my daughter ', Adriana said with a sadistic smile in her face.

No!, you are lying, I am father's child', Roxanne said as ehe ehiiked her head in disbelief.

You are Micheal 's daughter but you are not

mine, you were not born from my womb'.

It's not true, I won't believe you',

Yes you do, because the look on your face

tells me you are not surprised, do you

want to know your real mom',

It's Raquel Capoto',

Adriana announced with a proud smile on her face and it grew wider when she saw hiw pale Roxy turned after finding out the truth.

So , rounding it off, Leah is your guardian,well , Aunt',

Raquel Caputo was in the car during her father's accident, and she was the only survivor, she was her Nanny, and was only woman in her entire life who gave her the motherly love that she craved for. Her biological father died on the spot ,as he shielded Raquel from harms way. Although, she survived,she was a walking dead , as if she had lost the will to live, the only thing that kept her alive longer was the little seed that was growing in her womb. After she gave birth, she stopped eating food and was quite stubborn it. Slowly she became all skins and bones , losing the beauty she had before, on her death bed she made Roxanne promise,

Promise me that you would find Leah, she is

my paternal cousin, she will help in your time

of need, treat her like you treat me and remember one thing, Mommy loves you ',

She was only nine years at that time and couldn't understand anything, that was the second time she heard ever cried her heart out after her biological father's death. Upon remembering, Roxanne screamed hysterically, as she tried to use her hands to claw at Adriana 's face in vengeance but the chain in her wrist held her back.

At that moment, Adriana took a can from a subordinate and started pouring the contents around Roxy as if intending to trap her in the fire, Roxanne was curious about what she was about to do and the liquid that came out of can had a weird smell.

PA!,

At that moment, Roxy realized what the weird smell was anxious she begged ,

No, please don't...'

Adriana let go if the natch stick, the fire touch the content on the ground, whoosh!, the whole place was set on fire.

Haha!, send my regards to your parents and

your sister ', Adriana mocked.

You witch!, I swear on my parents death bed ,

that I will come for revenge ', Roxanne shouted as she saw Adriana escape.

Her sister, Anna , the youthful face wthat was always filled with colours was replaced with her pale cold body that was lying on the floor. Roxy screamed her lungs out as the fire raged on, tears began to form in her eyes , her vibrant sister who always manage to bring a smile on the faces of those around her.

Sister', Anna called out in her sweet voice

Please forgive me , I caused your death, I

ave wronged you ' Roxanne pleaded for mercy.

Anna stretch out her hand saying,I forgive you , big sis , the she smiled sweetly and started giggling happily. Just then, someone was calling her name,

Roxanne!,Roxy!, Roxanne!, where are you?', on hearing that sound Roxanne smiled knowningly.

That voice can only belong to one person and she is her godmother ,Leah . She couldn't talk , scream in pain , she could do absolutely nothing but watchecas Leah search for her desperately,Roxy smiled through the pain, as she looked at Leah , when suddenly she saw a gun from her peripheral view, Bam!, a gunshot was heard and the recipient was Leah who now laid on the ground as her blood began to flow with no stopping.

Gritting her teeth, she crawled to Leah and held her as she started crying for help , even though there was a possibility of no one coming to their aid.

Please forgive for coming too late, I love you so much, please forgive me ', with those words , Leah lost consciousness.

MOM!', this was the first time she had ever said these words, since her father's death Adriana had forbidden her from ever calling her that.

Ahhhhhhhh', she screamed.

...…...….…

Waking up with a start, Roxanne sat upright with an anxious expression on her face, she looked around for one person but that person was not after she surveyed her surroundings.

Feeling worried and filled with the want to see her, she remove her oxygen mask, pulled out the string in her hand out and got down from the bed.

Roxanne took a step forward with shaky steps, she continued until she reached the door, just as she was about to turn the door knob, it was pushed from the outside, she couldn't keep her balance,thump!,

She fell to the ground, ouch!, my butt hurts,

Roxy, are you okay?', Lucian , has been living in the hospital room since the surgery a week ago. He has been running back and forth from the hospital to his office for the past few days that he was exhausted, planning to take a nap but was surprised on seeing his daughter on the ground rubbing her butt.

Dad',

You are awake, than...', Lucian breathed a sigh of relief.

Dad, where is mom?, I want to see her', Roxanne interrupted.

The expression on Lucian's face turned cold, and an annoyed look flashed across his face, but looking into the pleading eyes of his daughter, he reluctantly agreed.

He told Noah, to call the woman, then he called everyone in his family about Roxy 's recovery. Then he began to reassure Roxy that she would see her mother soon, he called for the to administer the IV drop, while coaxing Roxy who was feeling anxious.

A few hours later,the originally empty room was now filled with people who cared for Roxy but these people were not the one she was waiting for , every now and then she would glance at the door in case she come in.

A woman in her late forties dressed elegantly saw how she was practically drawn to the door and if possible she could drill holes in the door, she is the first madam, the wife of Marcus, they have two kids , Jayden and Lesley, Jayden is a boy while Lesley the girl. Despite the fact that she has given birth and is married but she still has a slim figure.

Darling, how are you?, why did you keep

looking at the door?, are you expecting some one?', the first madam name was Julie,

She is Australian born, and has a pair of green eyes that were warm.

Yes, I am, am I looking for my mother', Roxy replied.

The smile on Julie's face froze, the atmosphere was on stand still, the atmosphere was on stand still, the expression on everyone's faces was not good. And at that moment the door opened , a voice said,

Is my baby looking for me?', Adriana said as she walked inside the room expecting a hug from her daughter but was greeted by a flying case which she narrowly escaped.

BAM!

The vase hit the wall and scattered into pieces,

Get out!',

Roxanne screamed, looking at Adriana with hatred in her eyes, which shocked everyone. Adriana dress in a black burgundy dress with a pair of sandals heels was shocked,

Baby, what did you just say?',

You didn't hear me, fine get out of my sight', Roxanne repeated.

Roxy what are you saying, she is your mother', Kylie asked the question that was in everyones mind.

Kylie was wearing her work outfit, she just finished checking a patient and wanted to see her niece but she was greeted with the sight of her sister pressing a hand of her chest looking at Roxanne with an aggrieved expression on her face.

She is your mother, how could you do this?,

you have been asking for your mother and

she came despite her busy schedule ', Kylie said as she looked at Roxanne in disappointment.

No it's not her', Roxanne denied.

She is not my mother, she is not the one I

am looking for', she continued.

If it's not her,who is it?, do any of us in this room know her?', Lucian,who has been quiet since Adriana came,asked as he looked at the change his daughter's behavior in surprise.

Dad, if I tell you, please promise that you

would bring her, I want to see her ', Roxanne pleaded as she looked at her with a pitiful look on her face.

Lucian looked at his daughter, who was pouting her lips looking cute, a certain little girl flashed in his memory, who also behaved this way if she wanted something from him.

Okay, I promise ',

A smile flashed across Roxanne's face, then she scanned the faces of everyone in the room and someone caught her eye. Slowly, she raised her hand and pointed at a young woman who was staying at a conspicuous corner away from the eyes of the crowd.

Following the direction of the finger , everyone looked at the lafy dressed in a gothic outfit but her makeup was simple, she was with earplugs playing a music , when suddenly she a chill run down spine. Curious, she looked up only to see her little cousin, Roxanne, pointing s finger at her with a pitiful look.

Annoyed, she pulled out her earplugs shouting,

What?',

Whack!

Ouch!, mom that hurts',

Keep quiet, she told us that you know her mother',

Adele , a woman in her early forties wearing a female suit with a pair of kitten heels, was one of America most sort after lawyer, she is married Marlo, the second son of the kims, they only had a pair twins,the oldest Mark is currently studying in military school, Adele nearly died after giving birth to them, so , since then they decided that two was enough for them.

Aggrieved, Mira, a lady in her early twenties retorted ,

I don't understand, isn't her mom, over there

what does she mean that I know her?',

Yes , darling, you have not told us who this woman,you are calling mom is', Julie said.

Realizing that she hadn't told them anything yet,

She is the one who saved my life,and the only who had ever showed concern for me like that', Roxanne explained.

Noticing the change on her father's face, she corrected,

I mean, I have never that type of love from

Aunt Adriana and Aunt Kylie ',

What is this little trouble maker planning, no , I can't stay here, I have to leave before she blames me for anything, with that thought, Mira sneajed to the door and was about to turn the door knob , when,

Mom, cousin is running away ', Lesley, an eighteen year old girl, who is preparing for her college entrance exams, sat on the sofa in the hospital in black gown , her hair was allowed to fall freely behind her back, a pair of green eyes like her mother, looked at her eldest cousin with a look saying payback ,told her mother. All eyes were on Mira, cursing Lesley and swearing to her self that if she does not get her revenge then her name is not Mira.

Mira, where are going?', her mother asked.

Shooting a glare at her younger cousin, she replied,

I wanted to get some cold drinks, after all the whether is hot, hehe', she said nervously.

Roxanne said that you know the person that saved her', Adele asked as she looked at her daughter with a warning look.

Confused, Mira asked,

I do not know,what is she even talking about, I wasn't there with her when she was kidnapped or saved, so I don't know ',

You do, you know her, you practically grew up with her, she us your best friend ', Roxanne retorted.

Lucian glanced at his niece , remembering what Roxanne said, a face flashed in his memory, could it be, you are back?, but for how long?, why haven't you come to see me , he thought. He looked at Roxanne with a glint in his eyes.

When Roxanne saw that look in her dad's eyes, when ever dad had that look in his eyes it's like as if he is about to win his a prize that he has been waiting for , she began to feel sorry for that certain prey,but quick question, why is he looking at me as ifam his ticket ti salvation, as if knowing that he is creeping her out he withdrew his gaze and glanced at Mira as she shouted in anger for the fact that she had never liked this her cousin,

Shut up, you little devil or else you won't like what I will do to you ',

She felt a cold gaze on her , thinking it's her mother only for her to turn to see it's her fourth uncle,smiling timidly , she walkee towards her father who was sitting at the corner with his older brother discussing, when Marlo, a fifty year old man in a soldier outfit realized that his daughter was seeking his protection, he coughed suddenly and asked his brother, Marcus, a man in his late fifties dress un an office suit , the too of them were looking prim and proper with a commanding air around them.

Marcus, who you like some tea, 'cause I am in a need for one ',

Sure', Marcus also coughed while saying,

They left,

...…', Mira was speechless.

Dad, she knows her,am telling you the truth',

Roxy pleaded as she held her dad's sleeve.

It's okay, sweetie, am here just explain it to your cousin, she does not understand this things', lucian said in a gentle voice.

Was her uncle saying that she is dumb,Mira thought.

Roxanne bobbed her head up and down like a hen eating it's food and described,

She is red haired and has a pair of beautiful sea blue eyes and she has a tattoo on her thigh, she wears an anklet',

With that description , Lydia froze and a face came to her memory, cautiously she asked,

What is the shape of her tattoo?',

It's like the shape of a butterfly ', Roxanne replied.

At this description, a light shines in Lucian's eyes but wasn't noticed by anyone, because they would feel as if he finally knows where his prey is.

Oh my god!, where did you see her?', Mira asked as she looked at her cousin, surprised about the fact that , that woman actually helped someone.

In front, of the club house, at the back alley of the street',

And you are still alive?', Mira gasped in amazement.

In the America, everyone knows that it is not considered a good thing to bump into that woman, most especially when she is in the clubhouse.

Smack!

Mom, ouch!'

For once mom, please stop hitting me', Mira said while feeling aggrieved.

You know her?', Julie asked.

Yes, we were playmates during our childhood ',

Call her', Lucian ordered with a look on his that they couldn't put their finger into it.

What, I can't call her, she should be busy',

Mira, call her', her mother, Adele, said in an authoritative tone.

Fine, but I can't guarantee that she would answer', Mira agreed.

The phone rang few times before it was automatically switched off.

Let's wait for sometime maybe she's in a meeting', Mira said.

Meanwhile,Kylie and her sister Adriana, felt as if they have been forgotten. Trying to make their presence known, I passed by the lunch area and got some lunch for Roxy ', Kylie said as she opened the bag she was with and took a congee and sat by the side of the bed looking motherly.

But Roxanne was not in the mood to see her face, so with an annoyed expression she pushed the bowl away from her face.

Who would have thought that Kylie had no stamina that she did not hold the bowl well that it fell to the ground.

Everything happened so fast that in the next second,

PA!

She was slapped in the face by Adriana, Lucian angry slapped Adriana across the face showing no hesitation as if she was nothing but just a piece it trash.

How dare you', Lucian said in an angry tone as she looked down at Adriana who had fallen to the ground due to the force of the slap.

Kylie, being a peace maker she is, wanted to calm Lucian,when a ringing tone was heard, it broke the tension that was rising in the air.

Again, all eyes on Mira, who answered the call but before she could talk, the phone was snatched from her by Roxanne,

Mira, this had better be good ', Leah said in an angry tone.

Mom', Roxy called out.

Who is this?', Leah asked in a puzzled voice.

It's me , Roxanne, am the girl you saved in from the goons in front of your club house few days ago', Roxanne explained.

My business with you is done, why are you calling me, mom, am not your mother ', Leah said in a questioning tone.

Roxanne knew that her actions speak louder than her words, so she changed the subject,

Mom, I was slapped ',

By who?', Leah asked in a cold voice.

Aunt Adriana slapped me, she said that I was a curse , and called me a crazy girl ', Roxanne said in an aggrieved tone as she has suffered a lot.

Everyone was shocked, to how fast Roxanne changed her face,who cursed you , who called you crazy, your dad skapped her before she could say anything. Even Lucian was surprised, as Roxanne looked at there expressions she tsked, Dad don't you know, in order to get a wife , you have to be shameless.

Where is your father ', Leah asked

He's in the office, he has not come to see me, Mom, am hungry , Aunt Kylie refused to give me food', Roxanne said as she began to cry.

Don't cry, you just woke up, right?'

Roxanne nodded, then Leah can not see her,she answered,

Yes',

Okay, I would make some food for you and I will bring it, is that alright?', leah asked in a soft tone.

Yes',

Alright, give me thirty minutes and I would be there',

Okay, bye, mom',

Then Leah cut the call, the topic about whether Roxanne should call her, Leah,mother was left at the side.

Roxanne gave the phone back to Mira and walked to her bed feeling excited,she even said thank you to the cleaner who cleaned the glass shards.

Lucian sent everyone out and Noah , to send him new clothes.
