They All ’Died’ For Her? With Terminal Cancer, I’m Done Playing Their Games Novel - Chapter 97

Chapter 1 Mom had three daughters, but she'd tell anyone who'd listen: "My oldest never listens to a word I say, and my youngest has her head in the clouds." Then she'd point to me with that smug little smile. "Only Rebecca-my middle girl-she's my favorite daughter." I believed every word. So every time, I'd be the first to rush to do the dishes before anyone asked. I'd even transfer all my $2000 salary to Mom's account every month.

"Also, do you really think that Rebecca's husband and daughter died accidentally? That was all done by Mom for you two." The truth hit me like a truck. My soul practically exploded with rage.

I wanted nothing more than to choke the life out of the woman I'd wasted my life to love. Then I opened my eyes. I was back to that night-the night Mom first showed up at my door with her bags and bullshit. I was shaking so damn hard with rage I could feel it in my bones. Before I could even open my eyes, I heard the front door creak open, then my husband's voice: 'Mom? What the hell are you doing here at midnight?" Still in shock, I felt a tiny hand shaking my arm. "Mommy, who's here?
