When Scott, my son, brought a girl home for the first time, I recognized her immediately. What was supposed to be a joyful meeting turned into a nightmare when I realized who she really was. Now I must destroy their relationship to keep the secret I’ve been hiding all these years.<\/p>\n

My son Scott never told me about his girlfriends. I began to wonder if he had any and if he even liked girls, given that we live in a modern world where anything is possible.<\/p>\n

I often asked myself, “Is Scott hiding something? Is he too focused on his studies or work to think about dating?” But one day, Scott started talking about a girl he was communicating with.<\/p>\n

My husband Michael and I were shocked because it was the first time we had heard anything like this from Scott.<\/p>\n

Scott looked happier than ever, telling us how much he liked this girl and how they always had something to talk about. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he shared stories about their conversations.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t help but smile at his newfound joy. But when he mentioned that he met this girl online, Michael and I grew concerned. The internet is full of unknown dangers, and we worried about his safety.<\/p>\n

“Scott, do you really know this girl?” Michael asked, his brow furrowed with worry.<\/p>\n

“Has she ever asked you for money or anything suspicious?” I added, fearing the worst. Scammers often pose as attractive girls to extort money from men.<\/p>\n

Scott just got irritated and shouted, “She’s real! And she’s not a scammer. I will introduce you to her soon.” His frustration was clear, but our concerns remained.<\/p>\n

We weren’t very convinced but hoped for the best. We wanted to trust our son’s judgment, but as parents, we couldn’t help but worry.<\/p>\n

Finally, the day came. Scott happily announced that Kira, his girlfriend, would join us for dinner. Michael and I were very happy that our boy had found his soulmate.<\/p>\n

I prepared a nice dinner, nothing fancy, but enough for four people, and we waited for Scott and Kira. I made sure everything was perfect, wanting to make a good impression on Kira.<\/p>\n

I heard the doorbell and joyfully went to open the door. When I opened it, I saw a happy Scott and a very pretty girl who seemed a bit shy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello, my dears,\u201d I said, smiling warmly. \u201cYou can call me Alison,\u201d I said to Kira. \u201cI\u2019m so glad to finally meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, Scott has told me a lot about his parents. I\u2019m very happy to meet you too,\u201d Kira replied with a shy smile.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s so lovely,\u201d I whispered to Scott, glancing at her.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Mom. I know, I\u2019m a lucky guy,\u201d he said, beaming with pride as he put his arm around Kira.<\/p>\n

I suddenly noticed they were still in their coats. \u201cOh, how rude of me! Please, take off your coats and hang them up,\u201d I said, feeling a bit flustered.<\/p>\n

\u201cScott, it\u2019s like it\u2019s your first time in this house. Help Kira with her coat,\u201d I added in a slightly commanding tone, but I was still his mother, even though my son was already twenty-three years old.<\/p>\n

Scott began to take off Kira\u2019s coat, and I noticed a birthmark on her neck, partially hidden by her collar. It looked familiar, and I realized where I had seen it before.<\/p>\n

My mind raced. No, it can\u2019t be! Not this\u2026 My son was finally happy, and now I had to ruin this relationship. I couldn\u2019t let them be together.<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t understand how this was even possible. So many years had passed. How could this girl be here now? My whole body was shaking, my heart pounding out of my chest.<\/p>\n

I felt like I was going to faint. I knew I had to keep calm and not let anyone know the truth. I had to destroy this relationship before it was too late.<\/p>\n

\u201cKira, would you mind helping me in the kitchen?\u201d I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. \u201cScott, why don\u2019t you go see your father? He\u2019s in the living room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kira smiled and nodded. \u201cOf course, I\u2019d be happy to help,\u201d she said. Scott gave me a puzzled look but did as I asked. As Kira followed me into the kitchen, I felt a wave of guilt.<\/p>\n

She seemed so sweet, and Scott was so happy. But I had no choice. I had to protect them from the truth, even if it meant breaking their hearts.<\/p>\n

While Kira and I were in the kitchen, I tried to find anything I could criticize her for, but she was wonderful. She offered to help, and when I handed her the salad bowl, she smiled and said, \u201cI love cooking. It\u2019s relaxing after a day with my students.\u201d<\/p>\n

She talked about her job as a teacher, sharing funny stories about her students. \u201cOne of them asked if I lived at the school because they couldn\u2019t imagine me having a life outside of it!\u201d she laughed.<\/p>\n

Her eyes sparkled with warmth and kindness as she spoke. She praised Scott, saying, \u201cHe\u2019s so smart and caring. I\u2019m really lucky to have him.\u201d<\/p>\n

I felt a pang of guilt for what I was planning to do. But my goal was more important, and I couldn\u2019t act differently.<\/p>\n

Just before we were all to sit down at the table, I said to Scott, \u201cCome outside for a minute. I want to show you the new plants in the garden.\u201d He looked puzzled but followed me out.<\/p>\n

When we got to the garden, Scott quickly looked around and started hurrying back towards the house. \u201cVery nice, Mom. Let\u2019s go,\u201d he said, looking impatient.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are you in such a hurry?\u201d I asked. \u201cLet\u2019s take a walk.\u201d I approached Scott and led him among my flowers and trees. He sighed but followed me.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, about Kira\u2026\u201d I began, trying to sound casual.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes? What do you think?\u201d Scott asked immediately, looking nervous. His eyes darted around, avoiding mine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think she\u2019s not right for you,\u201d I said with a heavy heart, struggling to keep my voice steady.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat? Why?\u201d Scott looked puzzled, his brow furrowing.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not a good match. Besides, she\u2019s very selfish and unfriendly. I\u2019m sure she\u2019ll start bothering you after a few months of your relationship. And I saw her texting some man,\u201d I said all these bad things about Kira just to make Scott break up with her.<\/p>\n

Scott stared at me in disbelief. \u201cAre you sure we\u2019re talking about the same Kira?\u201d he asked, displeased.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know she might act sweet and kind around you, but she\u2019s not like that,\u201d I insisted, feeling my stomach churn with guilt.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s gotten into you and why you don\u2019t like Kira, but I\u2019m not going to listen to this nonsense anymore,\u201d Scott snapped, his face red with anger.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want only the best for you,\u201d I said, my voice trembling.<\/p>\n

\u201cI already have the best. I have Kira. And just so you know, I brought her tonight because I\u2019m planning to propose,\u201d Scott said.<\/p>\n

I gasped at his words. I couldn\u2019t let this happen! But Scott was already heading back into the house. \u201cYou can\u2019t do this!\u201d I shouted after him, but he didn\u2019t even turn around, just went inside.<\/p>\n

I gave myself a few minutes to catch my breath. My life could be ruined forever tonight. And not just mine, but everyone in the house. I felt a weight pressing down on my chest.<\/p>\n

How could this be happening? I wiped the tears that had streamed down my face and took a deep breath. I had to keep it together. I couldn’t let them see how much this was tearing me apart.<\/p>\n

With a final glance at the garden, I went back inside, my mind racing with what I had to do next.<\/p>\n

When I got back, everyone was already sitting at the table, waiting for me. Scott looked very nervous, and I knew why. He was preparing to propose. I sat down, and we started dinner. The silence was heavy.<\/p>\n

Scott and I didn\u2019t say a word to each other. Michael tried to make small talk, but his efforts fell flat. No one joined the conversation. Kira looked very awkward, glancing at Scott and then at me. It was clear she felt the tension.<\/p>\n

I was just praying for something to happen that would stop this evening and prevent Scott from proposing. Otherwise, I would have to reveal the secret I planned to take to my grave. My mind raced with worry. What could I do to stop this without causing a scene?<\/p>\n

But the dinner went smoothly, and Scott didn\u2019t give any hint of proposing. Maybe my words earlier made him reconsider. I sighed with relief, but it was too early to relax.<\/p>\n

I needed to make sure they broke up. My heart ached knowing what I had to do, but I saw no other way.<\/p>\n

When dinner ended, Scott and Kira began getting ready to leave. Kira looked at me and said, \u201cThank you for dinner. Everything was\u2026 wonderful.\u201d I knew she felt very awkward because we sat in silence the whole time.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re welcome,\u201d I simply replied, forcing a smile.<\/p>\n

They said their goodbyes and left the house. I noticed Michael had disappeared. Curious, I went to the kitchen and saw him looking out the window.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d I asked, trying to sound casual.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatching our son propose,\u201d Michael replied calmly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?!\u201d I screamed and rushed to the window. My heart stopped when I saw Scott on one knee before Kira, holding a ring box.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemember how I proposed to you? We were so happy,\u201d Michael said, reminiscing.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, no, no. I can\u2019t let this happen!\u201d I shouted and ran outside, my heart pounding. \u201cStop!\u201d I yelled, desperation in my voice. \u201cYou\u2026 you can\u2019t\u2026 get married.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scott and Kira looked at me in surprise, their faces filled with confusion.<\/p>\n

\u201cMom, stop it. We\u2019ve already talked about this today, and it\u2019s my\u2014\u201d Scott began, but I interrupted him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t get married! You\u2019re brother and sister!\u201d I blurted out, my hand flying to my mouth in shock.<\/p>\n

\u201cWHAT?!\u201d they screamed in unison, their faces pale.<\/p>\n

I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. \u201cCome inside, I\u2019ll explain everything,\u201d I said, my voice trembling.<\/p>\n

Scott and Kira exchanged glances and followed me into the house. Michael looked at us in surprise, sensing the tension. I sat them all down on the living room couch and took a deep breath. I had to tell them the truth, no matter how painful it was.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwenty-five years ago, Michael was on a voyage,\u201d I began, my voice shaking. \u201cTheir ship got caught in a storm, and he was presumed missing. I was devastated because he had just proposed to me before leaving. We were planning our life together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scott and Kira listened intently, their faces full of confusion and concern.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne night, I got drunk in a bar and spent the night with a stranger,\u201d I continued, my eyes welling up with tears. \u201cA few weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. I didn\u2019t know what to do. I felt so lost and alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThree months later, Michael called me. He said he had been washed ashore in another country and had been in a coma, which is why no one could find him. He said he\u2019d be back in six months.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t bear to lose Michael because I loved him so much. So, when I gave birth, I gave the child up for adoption. It was the hardest decision I\u2019ve ever made. And I never told anyone about this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a girl, and she had the same birthmark on her neck as you, Kira,\u201d I finished my story. Tears streamed down my face the entire time I told them. \u201cI don\u2019t expect you to forgive me for abandoning you,\u201d I added, my voice breaking.<\/p>\n

Kira looked at me with wide eyes. \u201cI never felt abandoned. I had a good family, but right now, I feel my life is falling apart,\u201d she said, her voice trembling.<\/p>\n

Scott\u2019s face was red with anger. \u201cI can\u2019t believe this. I can\u2019t believe you hid this all this time. And you didn\u2019t even want to tell us! You just wanted me to break up with Kira so no one would know what you did!\u201d he shouted, his voice echoing in the room.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know, I\u2019m sorry,\u201d I said, my tears flowing freely now. I could see the pain in their eyes, and it crushed me.<\/p>\n

Scott shook his head, his eyes filled with hurt. \u201cI don\u2019t think something like this can be forgiven,\u201d he said, then turned and left the house. Kira followed him, tears in her eyes.<\/p>\n

I looked at Michael, who had been silent the whole time. \u201cSay something!\u201d I yelled at him, desperate for some support.<\/p>\n

Michael\u2019s face was cold. \u201cI\u2019m filing for divorce,\u201d he said quietly, and then he, too, left the house.<\/p>\n

I collapsed on the couch and began to cry even harder. In one evening, I lost everyone I cared about. In one evening, my life fell apart. The weight of my actions crushed me, and I didn\u2019t know how I would ever put the pieces back together.<\/p>\n
