Chapter 16

Daniela stopped into the nursing facility where her mother was living. It pained her to see her mother in such a frail condition. The lively woman she remembered growing up, reduced to this? It was a cruel joke on humanity!

That is why Daniela needed revenge on Cassidy so bad!  She blamed Cassidy for everything! The accident "unintentionally"caused by Cassidy (Daniela didn’t see it that way) that put her mother in the hospital.

Daniela spent years harboring revenge against Cassidy for the hell she went through taking care of her ill mother while Cassidy moved on with her life so easily and without any guilt. She got away with everything! Well, one way or another, Cassidy was going to pay!

But, Daniela didn’t know it, but Daniela’s mother was harboring a secret of her own….

“Hey, mother, I’ here!” Daniela spoke to her mother as she opened up the blinds to let the sunshine in. “It’s a gorgeous day out! Why don’t we go for a walk!”

Daniela pushed her mother’s wheelchair out of her mother’s room and to the front entrance of the nursing home and stopped at the front desk to sign her mother out.

As Daniela pushed her mother, the warm sunshine perked her mother up to point that she said her first words in years.

“Daniela!”

“Mother, you spoke!” Daniela said gleefully.

“Dani, don’t be angry at her.” Daniela’s mother said, sensing her daughter’s tension with her friend.

“Mother, whatever are you talking about?” Daniela asked her mother, shrugging off her mother’s response as part of her illness.

But Daniela’s mother confessed a long-held secret, “She’s your sister!”

“Whoever are you talking about, mother?” Daniela asked.  “I have no sister?”

“Cassidy.  She’s your sister!” her mother confessed, as Daniela’s face went white with shock.

“I think we need to get you back, mother.” Daniela told her mother, as she wheeled her mother back to the nursing home.

After Daniela dropped her mother off, she thought about what her mother blurted out.  Was it true?  Was Cassidy really her sister?  Or just the ramblings of a sick woman?  All these years, she thought of herself as an only child?  It was always her and her mother.  Now, it appears she has a sister, and that sister is Cassidy?!  The woman she’s been intent on getting revenge?!

She had to find out the truth…and the only person she knew she could get the answer from was her father.
