Helanie:
I hoped it was because Emmet didn't know the story of my mother. Then maybe, in his eyes, it was deceptive. So I helped him understand why my mother didn't tell anyone her identity.
"When your mother found out about my mother's identity, she used her as a baby machine to sacrifice her children, my siblings," as I screamed, tears rushed down my eyes.
I watched his eyes slowly grow wide. He then zoned out, and I hated it. I wanted him to take action immediately, but he was silent. So I continued.
