STEPMOM
1. Chapter 2. "Prisoner of lies, free of jail"
England, Malfoy Manor.
Everyone was taking breakfast when Draco made an announcement:
"I want to tell you that Anne and I are engaged and the wedding will be held the next month"
Mia was very angry, " I am not going to let that woman take my mother's place, I don't want a stepmother and in the moment she came to live in this house I will be out" and with this she left the table.
Mike was also very angry "Dad, I understand that you want someone at your side but I don't see the need to marry again and that some woman come to take the place of my mother" and also left the room.
Draco, looked at Andrew and asked him "What do you think?" Andrew was the only one of the three who has not bad temper. He always stays quiet and never speaks "I don't know what to say, Dad. I'm confused because I want you to be happy but I don't want that someone come to take my mother's place, I'm sorry dad" and he also left the room.
"You see my dearest cousin" Alba spoke, "Anne is not welcome in this house and if you
go on with your plan of marrying her, you'll have to choose between your children and her. They loved and honored the memory of their mother and I can assure you they are not going to let that anyone take their mother's place in this house"
Draco, who was very angry told her "But they honored and loved a portrait, I don't even know this woman, I don't know who she was and where you take this portrait from? I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to tell them that her mother is dead instead of telling them that she is at jail."
"Which is the same", Alba answer, "Virginia, never will come back and that's the best, Mike and Mia don't remember her and they think their mother is a decent person not a killer who didn't care about her children. Draco, Virginia is out of our lives, she is at the other side of the world and she will be there for the rest of her life, so please don't bring her back. And speaking of Anne, I support the children and she will not be welcome in this house"
"Alba, I think you are being very selfish with Draco. Mike, Mia and Andrew are not kids anymore, they are 23, 21 and 18 years old. They don't need to act as if they were children. Draco has been an excellent father to them, and I think. after what he lived 20 years ago he deserves to be happy," Chelsea, told her.
Alba, gave her a cold look and said "Keep your opinion until it is requested. You are not thinking in the children and they should be our priority".
"And they have been always my priority, that's why I agreed in never told Andrew who their real parents are" Chelsea said.
"Never repeat that, We swore never tell anyone about the real parents of Andrew and for your own good I hope you don't say a word" and alba left the room.
"Why you never have wanted to tell me whom of you two is the real mother of Andrew" Draco said to Chelsea.
"I can not tell you, I'm sorry" and Chelsea also left the room.
At the same time but in other side of the world.
I can not believe I am not going to see you again, Ginny. I am going to miss you." Vivian was sad but happy at the same time.
"Don't worry Vivian, I am going to write and Larry would be working at your case and as soon as you are free, if you want you can go and live with me in England."
"Are you serious, Of course I want. You have been the most wonderful friend I have never had.
You have been also a wonderful friend, although I could be your mother you have been my best friend".
They hugged each other and Ginny left the prison.
When Ginny was out of it, she saw Larry who was waiting for her. "Larry, what are you doing here?"
"What do you think, waiting for a beautiful woman" he said with a smile in his face.
"I hope she does not make you wait" she said.
"No, as a matter of fact, she is already here, looking at me"
" Oh come on, Larry, I have had better days that this, I should look like shit"
"No you don't, you look beautiful. So, beautiful, do you already have the check of the sells of your jewelry?"
"Yes and I never thought it would be this huge, but I have to share it with the only person who believed in me and sent me the precious stones to make the jewelry. I still remember the first day he came to visit me at the prison. He looked so old but he still had this bright in his look that could calm down every heart. I was so sad, I wanted to die but he told me "who has something to live for, can resist anything, even if it is an unfair punishment". He was a light in my darkness, he never forgot me, he taught me how to make jewelry and he sent me every month the pieces to make them, He was a real angel.
"So, you are going back to England" Larry said trying to hide his sadness. He have been in love with Ginny since he met her and now she was breaking his hopes of being with her.
"Yes, I have to go to England, I want to see my children, I don't kwon what they are going to say when they see me and they know I am out of jail"
"Are you sure that your children know you were in jail, maybe Draco told them that you abandon them or even worse that you are dead"
"I don't think Draco could do that, I don't think he could destroy his children heart and mine in that way but in that case I am prepared for everything and this time I am not going to be an easy target."
When are you planning to go to England? Larry asked her
"Tomorrow"
"And what are you planning to do today?"
"I am going to spend my day pamper me, I will do something for my hair, my nails, my skin, my feet, and little of shopping. I don't want to look like I have been 20 years at jail"
"Of course you don't"
And she left the place which has been her home for 20 years.
