Chapter 425- Help!
Aniya blinked in disbelief and eyed the garment bag, Valerie was holding, "What?"
"Yeah," Valerie waved the bag on her face, "I also can’t believe it. My baby is all grown up and about to get married," She announced excitedly.
For a moment, Aniya was certain that Valerie had lost her mind, "What are you talking about?" She demanded, her voice raising a little, "And where is my phone?" She turned back to look for her phone again, her hands patting around the bedside table.
Valerie calmly placed the garment bag down and pulled out a designer wedding dress, "Your phone isn’t important right now, sweetie," she said casually as if this wasn’t a big deal for her.
Aniya’s panic was mounting with each passing minute, "Mom, this isn’t funny. Okay? Where is my phone? I need to call Lisa. She’ll come here to pick me."
"No, sweetheart," Valerie said softly and started smoothing the lines on the dress, "You aren’t calling anyone," she at last glanced up at her daughter, "You think I don’t know what you’ve been planning? Huh? Running off like this? Not on my watch, darling!"
Aniya kept staring at the woman who called herself Aniya’s mother. Why was she being this cruel?
How could she commit to a wedding on her behalf? She had completely abandoned the idea of love, care, and these fake relationships.
None of it was for her.
If a mother could do this to her child, then everything was meaningless for her.
"Why are you doing this?" Aniya’s voice broke, her heart pounding in her chest. She stepped closer, her eyes were pleading to the woman standing in front of her.
