Chapter 28


    ~Cam’s POV~


    I awoke early to make my way to the Grayston house. I informed Grandma that today I would be


    preparing lunch. I wanted to do something for them because they helped me get full custody of Liam.


    Of course, I didn’t tell them that I was going to be cooking as a result of what they had done for me


    beforehand. I got in my car and drove to the house with my son. I am an even prouder mother right


    now, and no one, not even the woman who gave birth to him, can change that. The only respect I have


    for udia is that she gave birth to my child. I will only respect her for that and that’s all. Liam is my


    baby, not hers. I’m not expecting her to love him; it’s obvious she doesn’t care about him at all. It is a


    plus in my books. Liam will always refer to me as his mother and I will continue to spoil him until he


    asks me to stop. Not that when he finally asks, I will stop. I will take care of him without fear of him


    being taken away from me. Liam is entirely mine. I’m willing to die for this little heaven of mine. Liam


    and I finally made it to my inws’ house. I needed to ensure that everything was in order because


    Liam had a gameter today. I was about to watch my sonpete in his first tournament since he


    began ying ser. The good news is that my entire family ising to watch him as well. I


    informed my father that I was now Liam’s mother and that I got full custody. Technically, Liam is now


    the Mendoza family’s first grandson and everyone is happy for me and Liam.


    I prepared and baked the needed dishes, then walked outside to set the table. As people began to


    come, I alreadyid everything out. I took a bath, changed into my sweatpants, and matched with Liam.


    We stepped outside and saw everyone, including Chris and udia, seated at the table. They were all


    dressed impably, as usual, I sat next to Liam, serving him lunch. Today, I promise, I am not


    prepared for any drama. This family is fraught with intrigue. Naturally, someone had to say something


    to irritate me.


    “So, Chris, I didn’t know that your wife likes to fuck more than one man? I mean, what exactly would a


    married woman be doing in a swinger’s club?”


    I fixed my gaze on the woman speaking. She does not deserve to dine with me at all, but family is


    family. To be honest, even if Chris refused to sign the divorce papers, I am not a Grayston. This is not


    my bloodline. Perhaps I should stop attending these lunches. As I have experienced nothing but


    contempt since I began attending these ostensibly family lunches. I am perpetually the target.


    Cam, wake up; these people are not your people; your people are the Mendozas.


    I took a look around. Everyone was probably anticipating an answer from me, but I chose to remain


    mute, reminding myself that I am not a Grayston. I simply continued eating, oblivious to anyone else at


    the table. They’re probably all convinced it’s real, given that I’m not defending myself. But I am not here


    to defend myself. I’vee here for lunch. I think I’ve done enough defending already.


    “Have you suddenly lost your ability to speak?” udia asked.


    This woman was starting to grate on my nerves, and I made it abundantly in that I would not speak


    with her. But, one thing I will never do is defend myself, and hence will let them believe anything they


    want to believe about me. As of today, I will never attend any of Grayston’s lunches or any other ce


    where I might be disrespected by them. I’m done, and I’m done for good. I cleaned my lips with a cloth


    and escorted Liam to the sitting room. I wanted him not to hear what I wanted to say. I returned, drew a


    chair, and sat with my hands on the table.


    “Since your return, you’ve been vying for my attention. You never received any of my responses. Firstly,


    I didn’t reply to a lot of your disrespect because you gave birth to my son. I used to have such regard


    for you, but not anymore. Two, you’ve been going through my belongings since you returned. Only God


    knows what you seek, but I never questioned you. Did you think I didn’t know? I knew everything, yet


    you were not worthy of my time due to the fact that you are insignificant to me. Thirdly, you im that I


    visited the swingers’ club in order to sleep with several men. To be honest, I wouldn’t have gone there if


    you weren’t banging my husband. Given your reputation as a homewrecker, I’m curious as to how


    many homes you’ve wrecked. Fourthly, you see, I had respect for you because of my son, but he isThis is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    now mine, not yours. Despite the fact that you and your fuckbuddy gave birth to him, you and your


    fuckbuddy have no im over Liam. He is entirely mine. My name is now on his birth certificate as his


    mother. Your name has been obliterated as if you never existed. Are you taken aback? Perhaps you


    should ask your fuckbuddy what he has done. He was served with two documents but was only


    permitted to keep one. He retained me as his wife, and I retained Liam. He is entirely mine. I mean you


    don’t even care about him. However, the fact that you were counting on being his mother to open doors


    for you will no longer work. You have beenpletely obliterated from his existence. The next time you


    choose to mess with a woman, find one whocks intelligence because if you mess with me, I will


    crush your dreams right in front of you. You never wanted Liam, you were too busy enjoying the perks


    of being his mother. Not even showing concern as a mother for a single day. But utilizing the fact that


    you gave birth to the Grayston heir as a ticket. You can rest assured that I have taken that ticket away


    from your possession. You’re here today as a result of Liam, but you’re no longer his mother. You are


    not listed as his mother anywhere. Therefore, if you still wish to be a Grayston, you might wanna marry


    your fuckbuddy, as the only thing that was a ticket has been taken away from you by me. When you try


    to make a statement about me in the future, do some research first. It will really help you, honey, or you


    will fall right into my trap. Simr to how you’ve been following me for days. It was enjoyable to engage


    in a small game with you. Make yourself useful by getting a job and working hard. Bitch!”


    I raised my eyes to the elders at the table. I knew that mynguage was inappropriate, but I needed to


    vent.


    “Mr. and Mrs. Grayston, I’m truly sorry for my behavior today. Please pardon me. I’ve got to get going.


    Today, Liam has a game.”


    “Child, we will meet you at the arena.” I walked away relieved, but I will never return to this house to eat


    again. The inhabitants of this mansion behave as though I have never seen food in my life.
