“Mom?” Fia cried out, looking up at her mom as well.
Fia’s eyes were filled with tears.
Our mom bent down and kissed Fia’s cheek. She ran her fingers through my hair and gave us a little smile.
“Sienna was jealous of me being your dad’s true mate,” our mom said. “She wanted me gone even though your dad chose her, so she hired a rogue to kidnap me. Your dad and your uncle found me and saved me.”
I looked back at my dad.
“Why did she hate mom?” I asked. “You said that she was uncle Andrew’s and your childhood friend. Didn’t she know mom as well? Why would she hurt her?”
“Sienna was always jealous of your mom,” my uncle answered. “She believed that Logan and I should love her more. She had bullied your mom for years. After Logan found out that your mom was his mate, Sienna lost it. She wanted to get rid of her.”
What the hell? I was getting more and more confused by the second.
I had so many questions.
“She bullied mom for years?” Fia voiced out the first question I had on my mind. “Why didn’t you stop her?”
My uncle took a deep breath and looked at my mom.
“Because we didn’t believe Emma,” my uncle mumbled. “I didn’t believe your mom when she told me about Sienna. I fucked up.”
My eyes widened to the point of falling out of their sockets.
Did I hear him right?
No. There was no fucking way I heard him right.
If Fia told me that someone was bullying her, I would rip them apart. I wouldn't even need proof. My sister’s words would be proof enough.
“Let me get this straight,” I mumbled, shaking my head. “Your childhood friend bullied your sister for years and you didn’t believe her? And then dad chose that friend as his mate? But she was jealous of mom and had her kidnapped?”
My uncle and my dad nodded. My mom caressed my cheek.
I tightened my jaw. I could feel the anger boiling inside of me.
“I can tell what you are thinking, bud,” my uncle said. “If we just believed your mom about Sienna, she would never be able to kidnap her.”
I clenched my fists and nodded.
“Why didn’t you believe mom?” Fia asked quietly.
My dad and my uncle took a deep breath and glanced at each other.
I couldn't fucking wait to hear their excuse. I loved them both a lot, but I wanted to punch the shit out of them for doing that to my mom.
CHAPTER THREE – Our Past (Part Two)
Sophia’s POV
I was looking at my dad with a confused look on my face.
So many emotions bubbled up inside me. Anger, sadness, fear, confusion, frustration… I had them all and I couldn't sort through them.
“We didn’t believe her because we thought that Sienna would never do something like that,” Uncle Andrew said. “I thought that your mom was jealous of Sienna because we spent so much time together.”
My jaw almost hit the floor.
