My mom wanted to give me to an orphanage because I looked exactly like my dad. But life taught her a harsh lesson, and she quickly came to regret her actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry, but it\u2019s too late to terminate the pregnancy,\u201d the doctor told my mother when she visited his clinic.<\/p>\n

My mother was heartbroken. My father was a wealthy man, but he wasn\u2019t very rich in terms of appearance. So, from the moment she found out she was pregnant, mom despised me.<\/p>\n

Even after I was born, she didn\u2019t care to look after me. She didn\u2019t want to work, so she began looking for a rich man who could shower her with everything she\u2019d ever wanted.<\/p>\n

Luckily, she soon met the man of her dreams who was not only wealthy and successful but also attractive. His name was Mike.<\/p>\n

Soon, the man proposed to her, and my mom accepted. She was over the moon. But she didn\u2019t want Mike to know that she had a kid. So, she decided to carry out her cunning plan.<\/p>\n

When Mike came to visit her for the first time, she hid me in a pantry. But surprisingly, I began crying aloud, and Mike overheard me.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have a baby, Olivia?!\u201d Mike was shocked.<\/p>\n

My mom was furious at me. \u201cYeah, she\u2019s my daughter. My ex-husband passed away in a car accident, and I have to raise her alone!\u201d<\/p>\n

Mike smiled at me and took me in his arms. \u201cYou have a beautiful daughter, Olivia. I would love her like my child,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

My mom was disappointed. She didn\u2019t like how I looked, so she wanted to send me to an orphanage before Mike found out. But now that Mike wanted to adopt and care for me, my evil mother didn\u2019t have a choice.<\/p>\n

Soon, my mom and Mike got married, and one year later, they had twins. Mom loved them because they were pretty, just like her.<\/p>\n

I promise I was never envious of my twin sisters getting all of my mother\u2019s attention, but I did want her to love and care for me. Sadly though, as time went on, she became ruder to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re disgusting, Beth,\u201d she screamed at me one day. \u201cPlease stay away from my babies!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut mom, they\u2019re my sisters, and I love them,\u201d I explained.<\/p>\n

She glared at me. \u201cThey are not related to you in any way! You look awful, just like your father, and my babies are beautiful. I should have left you in an orphanage,\u201d she finished.<\/p>\n

I was devastated. I knew she didn\u2019t like me, but today, she made it very evident. I couldn\u2019t hold back my tears at that moment and started crying out loud. That\u2019s when Mike came back from work. Thankfully, he had heard my mom lashing out at me.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the hell is wrong with you, Olivia?\u201d he yelled at her. \u201cShe\u2019s our daughter. How can you even think about saying something like that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Mike…\u201d Before she could finish, Mike cut her off. \u201cWe will not discuss this ever again! All the three kids are ours, and we will treat them equally.\u201d My mom was enraged. I saw her clenching her fist as Mike left the room.<\/p>\n

Since that day, whenever Mike was around, my mom didn\u2019t offend me. But as soon as he left for work, she would return to her daily humiliation. I remember she once screamed at me, saying I had ruined our family portrait because of how horrible I looked.<\/p>\n

I was always scared that she would give me to an orphanage, so I just put up with everything in silence.<\/p>\n

As my twin sisters grew older, they noticed how my mother mistreated me, and they began ridiculing me as well. \u201cYou look awful, Beth! I mean, are you even our sister?\u201d Lily, my younger sister, told me. However, the twins behaved well when Mike was present, so I could never complain about them.<\/p>\n

When I turned 18, I packed my stuff and moved out. The only person I kept in touch with was my stepfather, Mike. I would call him every day and ask him how my mom and sisters were.<\/p>\n

But one day, it was my mother who picked up the call. \u201cHi, mom. Is dad there? He hadn\u2019t returned my calls, so I was worried,\u201d I told her.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s hospitalized, Beth,\u201d she answered. \u201cHe passed out at work.\u201d<\/p>\n

I quickly got off the call and rushed to the hospital. When I arrived, I saw my mother and twins in Mike\u2019s ward.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, Beth, you\u2019re finally here!\u201d he said in a low voice. \u201cI\u2019m sorry I didn\u2019t return your texts or calls.\u201d<\/p>\n

I held Mike\u2019s hand in mine. \u201cIt\u2019s okay, dad. Please get some rest. We can talk later,\u201d I told him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m afraid we can\u2019t, Beth,\u201d he answered. \u201cIt\u2019s stage three cancer, so I have only a few months to live. Plus, the company hasn\u2019t been doing well lately, so I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll be able to afford my treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n

When my mother learned that Mike was broke and his life was hanging by a thread, she decided to leave him. I tried to stop her as she was leaving the hospital, but she said she didn\u2019t want to waste time with a sick man and an ugly daughter.<\/p>\n

I was grateful for everything Mike had done for me, so I took an academic leave from the university and found a part-time job to look after him.<\/p>\n

Mike often asked me why mom and the twins never visited him, but I didn\u2019t want him to worry, so I lied, telling him they were sick and couldn\u2019t come to see him.<\/p>\n

And then, one day, my worst fears happened \u2014 Mike left for his heavenly abode. But my mom and the twins never showed up, not even during the funeral. In fact, the only time I met them after Mike died was when his lawyer summoned us to her office.<\/p>\n

My mother was enraged at the lawyer because she believed Mike had been struggling financially in recent years. But it turned out that Mike had been saving all the money for me. He knew how evil his wife was, so he left all his money and property in my name.<\/p>\n

When my mom learned this, she immediately changed her attitude towards me. \u201cOh, Beth, my daughter,\u201d she said as she hugged me. \u201cI\u2019m so glad we are a family.\u201d<\/p>\n

I shoved her and almost yelled at her. \u201cStay away, mom! You\u2019re just a pathetic woman who\u2019s after my dad\u2019s money. If you try contacting me again, I\u2019ll hand you over to the cops!\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, she was my mother, and she went through the pain of giving birth to me. But some people don\u2019t deserve to become parents. My mom is an excellent example of that.<\/p>\n

What can we learn from this story?<\/p>\n

Good people always get goodness in return. Beth stood by Mike\u2019s side when he needed someone the most, and in turn, God blessed her with his inheritance.<\/p>\n

Relationships are built with love and not necessarily by blood. The way Mike loved Beth and supported her proves that.<\/p>\n
