Not everything our loved ones tell us is true. Sometimes they have shitty secrets from the past and try by all means to keep that secret but sooner or later it will be exposed.

VERONA'S POV (ELIZABETH'S MOM)
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfbjPzdVI1
FLASH BACK
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQGVUpiPv3
I left Elizabeth eating her breakfast when I arrived at my room. I closed the door behind me.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjzHgsNTVo
My phone rang and stared at the caller ID anxiously. I took a deep breath and answered the phone call.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIu1OCIURI
"I've been trying your number all day" the other person on the other end scolded.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR0v7HqoEa
And I sighed deeply.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5fi28qsC8
" Anyway forget maybe you don't care about Leah."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwRaWAoZl1
I shook my head negatively.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVAYryzE8W
" I care about my daughter, how is she doing?" I asked curiously.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GY0K3cF1j
"I know it's been years and she belongs to another family. She'll never acknowledge me as her mother. But I want to watch her grow up even if I'm behind the shadows."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5oSnHUOYZ
" She probably hates me" I sobbed miserably.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHi7ZBHQjF
" Look Verona, I can't promise you anything about forming a relationship with her but I'll always let you know how she's doing and invite her to her birthdays."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuABhKYvVQ
I nodded quietly.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSqAL3CNtn
" Thank you Jane."
" Sure thing."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdSJOWdY5D
The call got disconnected and I sobbed miserably.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMe7Dq9hpV
Someone had tipped me off that my daughter never died that night, surprisingly a nurse had watched everything happen and after ten years she finally had the courage to reveal that secret.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KWoNYBDsR
A rich family had adopted my daughter and they named her Azalea. Unfortunately they lived in Paris so I couldn't meet her physically but Jane always sent me her pictures.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSxtdgUuCN
After she had learnt how corrupt the hospital was she applied for a job as nanny at the same house.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZC6yE0zlb
Jane became Azalea's nanny ever since she told my everything we've been communicating.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvbnK5CZyf
My first instincts were to go claim my daughter but I couldn't. I was just a stranger to her and I always felt guilty because I almost killed myself with my alcohol addiction.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAMVhDwNMD
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NmNwaUkle
I missed my daughter.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHP496tAEY
Years later Jane stopped working there because Azalea had grown up and she was getting married.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks7G4a7pge
Of course I went to the wedding and made up some excuse to Elizabeth. That day I witnessed everything with my own eyes.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsAfMMN0tV
I was so happy for her but yet I couldn't express the love I felt towards my daughter.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyCr22ia19
I had gotten my chance to hug her and congratulate her. She never recognized me and I couldn't blame her.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAzjrjQEV9
Later Jane called me with bad news Azalea had died while giving birth and she had left a baby girl behind.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlZeV0x6qG
That night her husband had also gotten involved in a road accident.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhukASV2t9
I was heartbroken and often locked myself in my room. I couldn't let Elizabeth see me.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vYwvBuhmN
She had lost her sister.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQwKf70myA
I was left with Elizabeth and I vowed to protect her but the secret I was hiding kept torturing me with so much guilt.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YOMzloGgW
I was lying to Elizabeth every day of her life. I always died a little when she would often say; mom, I wish I had a sister.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTZt3hnPjv
Guilt.

JADE'S POV (HAYDEN'S MOM)
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MjQQiXKFI
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ7YZ9rA8E
Marcus and I exchanged glances as we both stared at Hayden who was very quiet; he was lost in thoughts.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kpuKFgWks
"Go talk to him dear" Marcus urged and I nodded quietly and sat beside him.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyN0MIzYKw
"Son" I said softly and placed my hand on Hayden's shoulder and he blinked, snapping out of his thoughts.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzCwfyfu4m
"Mom , I didn't notice you," he said quietly and I nodded.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmumokWjkWM
"It's alright what were you thinking about?" I asked curiously and he sighed deeply.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4REuGvzAsG
" You can tell me anything, feel free" I muttered coolly assuring him and he nodded.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBbsHVSQA2
"I know mom."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tp78hxRO7
Silence.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlAfzmNIve
"I don't know why mom but I haven't seen her full face yet but the girl next door has Azalea's traits. It's driving me insane. They literally have the same gorgeous brown eyes. I know it's been five years now since Azalea left this world I'm failing to connect the dots."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfhhySwnmw
What I feared the most was happening Hayden hadn't moved on yet.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfymNjGrCMQ
"Azalea is gone and you should just admit that to yourself. You're only seeing Azalea in the girl next door because you haven't accepted that she's dead. Don't be delusional Hayden you know she's gone for good this time" I said softly Hayden nods quietly.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh8H1QTPOj
"I'll make you a cup of coffee."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSf93zutqI
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQIFhVUxz4
Things weren't easy for Hayden especially ever since Azalea left this world.
But he had to be strong for Theodora.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxRILuKptq
I only lasted this long in the vampire world because Marcus had turned on me at the last moment he claimed me as his wife. The council couldn't do anything because Marcus was born into a very powerful and influential family.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylPS3e3KKD
I was human and Marcus was half human half vampire when we met so both of my kids were special but Hayden was just something else.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR5KXhkDa3
But when Hayden also fell in love with a human the council couldn't take it. They banished Hayden.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BlQCQx0xz
The painful memory made my body cringe.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRUg6I7EdN
A lot of blood was shed that fateful night but I think we made the right decision in the end because Hayden needed his family more than anything.

When mom left I got up and looked outside the window staring at her window.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrFi2mzZf7
She wasn't there but I could feel her breathing.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnYFKRIAGQ
I closed my eyes and focused all my energy on the window.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wy5vWI971
I could see her on the bed reading a book but her face was unclear. The vision got blurry and I blocked the connection.
"Azalea..."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaXoc4bu0z
My powers were still weak.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBlANnlKdP
Someone tapped me on the shoulder when I turned around I frowned when I saw Sage grinning.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2SH5OinOj
My frown deepens.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI44VUWgdT5
"Oh I see my big brother is now stalking the girl next door" she teases.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLA2V1ifGc
I rolled my eyes at her.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2h3VOg8xl
" Don't overreact Sage. I just enjoy looking at their garden. They have nice flowers," I said quietly and walked past her.

I cocked a brow when Hayden left and looked at the window. I gasped and escaped my lips.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8g2w9uTFQ
"It's just a plain lawn that means Hayden was lying. I knew it. So it means that there's a possibility that he might like the girl next door."

The morning I started college again, maybe it would help me clear my head a bit.I already completed college a long time ago but I just needed something to help me lay low for a while.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3ca0zBhyR
I packed the necessary books and stuff and wore a leather jacket and black denim jeans. A few minutes later I got
my motorcycle and drove to the institution.

62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUpojoRmAH
I can't breathe (Chopsquad), I can't breathe, 999
Waiting for the exhale
I toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well
I can't breathe, I'm waiting for the exhale
Toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well
Still no luck, but oh, well
I still try even though I know I'm gon' fail
Stress on my shoulders like a anvil
Perky got me itching like a anthill
Drugs killing me softly, Lauryn Hill
Sometimes I don't know how to feel
Ring-ring, phone call from depression
You used my past and my memories as a weapon
On the other line, I talk to addiction, huh
Speaking of the devil, all the drugs, I miss them
This can't be real, is it fiction?
Something' feels broke, need to fix it
I cry out for help, do they listen?
I'ma be alone until it's finished
This is the part where I tell you I'm fine, but I'm lyin'
I just don't want you to worry
This is the part where I take all my feelings and hide 'em
'Cause I don't want nobody to hurt me
I can't breathe, I'm waiting for the exhale
Toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well
Still no luck, but oh, well
I still try even though I know I'm gon' fail
It's stress on my shoulders like a anvil
Perky got me itching like a anthill
Drugs killing me softly, Lauryn Hill
Sometimes I don't know how to feel
Sometimes I don't know how to feel
Let's be for real
If it wasn't for the pills, I wouldn't be here
But if I keep taking these pills, I won't be here, yeah
I just told y'all my secret, yeah
It's tearing me to pieces
I really think I need them
I stopped taking the drugs and now the drugs take me
This is the part where I tell you I'm fine, but I'm lyin'
I just don't want you to worry
This is the part where I take all my feelings and hide 'em
'Cause I don't want nobody to hurt me
I can't breathe, I'm waiting for the exhale
Toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well
Still no luck, but oh, well
I still try even though I know I'm gon' fail
It's stress on my shoulders like a anvil
Perky got me itching like a anthill
Drugs killing me softly, Lauryn Hill
Sometimes I don't know how to feel

Twenty minutes later I arrived and parked my motorcycle. All eyes were on me especially from the girls their boyfriends kept giving me nasty looks.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8y2xG8dJa
Besides, I wasn't even interested in their so-called girlfriends.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijVQM26N9J
While walking I bumped into someone and hot coffee spilled on his white t-shirt. The girl's books got knocked out of her hands, everything fell and she bent over picking her soaked books and homework.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwvDt15Qpp
"Are you blind or something?" I demanded. The girl got up and faced me and when I saw her I lost it.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOBhy9HhPs
"You literally bumped into me instead of apologizing you're here yelling at me. You snobbish brats are just arrogant and mannerless just like your parents."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI4JTG1eSv
" Thanks to you all my assignments are soaked in fucking coffee!"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmHSdpRjVs
She snapped her fingers in my face and I blinked.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15R4eLMjId
" Azalea…"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s14cJkda5
The girl frowned.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikcx3yJvYN
"I don't have time to deal with an idiot like you so get lost."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLD75tLn3D
She walked past me and I grabbed a smoothie from a random girl and followed her.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhtyisInBk
"Hey! The girl whines but I didn't care.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeMBVGkegD
I poured the smoothie on the girls head and she gasped.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBVAFKRY5w
She turned around and faced.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuP3VYdLkE
"Soaked assignments and smoothie drips suit you and you talk way too much motor mouth" I taunted.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9chQw4VWz1
This girl wasn't Azalea in fact she was nothing like her.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVj8kkQ8Mn
Her face turned red and she slapped me across the face hard, everyone gasped in shock.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSNKWr16pv
Silence.
