A family is a place where you can rely completely

Elise was 18 when she received a message. The message was the strangest one in her life. So, she became so surprised watching this. And this message turned her life upside down. It was from a woman and written that:

Hi Elise,

Your parents have been lying to you for all these years; you are not their daughter and I can prove it.

Contact me if you're ready to hear the truth.

Love, mom

She was not ready to get this kind of message. She thought someone was making fun with her but she decided to meet the woman. And she kept the message hidden from her present parents. She and the strange woman arranged to meet.

When she arrived at the place, she saw a woman sitting in the corner table. Elise was in shock because she and the woman were absolute lookalikes. And this time she became sure that there was something hidden to her for a long time and she needed to get the truth.

She rushed to the woman and asked if that was really happening to her. The woman said yes. She again said that she wanted to tell Elise the truth. Elise sat down and she started to say. She told her that her parents wouldn't be happy about that but she had to do it.

She told her story about how a guy got her pregnant and dumped her when she was 17. She told the guy that she was going to keep the baby. But he got angry and told her that if she had thought so, she should get the hell out of his house. The woman also told her how Elise's grandma and grandpa kept her locked up at home for 9 months of her pregnancy. They came to her only to rebuke her and remind her that she would dishonor their family. She only cried and cried when she needed the most care.

And then when Elise was given birth she was given to her older sister who she call mom now. She said that her sister was happy with the girl whereas she was sent to depression. And after this she was disowned and kicked out of the house. Her grandma said her birth mom to go away as that place was no longer her home.

Ann worked hard for many years and provided for her life. But she never been out of the city. Because she couldn't forget her daughter. She often came to her sister's home and watched Elise from a distance.

A few years ago, the sad woman met a wonderful, smart and wealthy man. They were married soon and she was matured enough to get her daughter back. She came to her sister but she didn't even let her to talk with her daughter. She told her to go away and said that she should not be there.

This continued and then she worked up the courage to message Elise. The woman started to cry while saying this all. She told Elise that she loved her and she wanted to make things right. After hearing this Elise was so angry as her whole life was a lie.

She rushed to her parents and told them that she knew the truth then. She got even more angry watching their faces and she asked how they could do that to her. Her mom told her that they wanted to protect her. She added that Ann was not who she seemed to be. But Elise didn't listened to them and said that she was leaving with Ann and they would never see her again. Her father tried to stop his daughter but she replied that she was not her daughter.

Elise was in the car with her birth mom. She was crying and Ann tried to pacify her. She told her that she did the right thing. She told Elise that soon she would introduce her to her husband and said that he would be pleased to meet her. And she smiled.

They reached to Ann's house. Her husband welcomed Elise. She learned that they had already prepared a luxurious room and clothes for her. She smiled and exclaimed that it was so pretty. Ann's husband told her to put it on and come downstairs to have dinner with them.

When Elise sat on the dining table, her stepfather said that they had big plans for her. He added that she would get the best education and an apartment downtown as soon as she recover after giving birth. Elise got shocked and exclaimed in fear. She asked what they meant by after giving birth.

Her stepfather asked her birth mother if she had not told Elise yet. She replied that she thought they would tell her together. She turned to Elise and said to her that she should know that she couldn't have more children but her husband and she dreamt of having a baby. Shocked Elise asked her mom what she was driving at.

Her stepfather cleared her that she would be give him a baby instead of her mother. He said to Elise, "You didn't think you'd just be able to freeload off us, did you?" She couldn't believe this and turned to her mom and asked if it was true. Ann replied that she owe to her and if she hadn't given birth to her when she was 17, she would probably be able to have a baby then.

Elise couldn't take this all and ran away from the house same night. She walked all the path in tears. She was not crying because her birth mom and her husband hurt her, she was crying because she was ashamed of what she had said to her parents who made her laugh and gave all of their love.

She headed to the house she used to live with her parents. She hugged her those parents and requested to forgive her. But her mother beg pardon instead because they should have told her the truth sooner. Elise cried and said that the truth is that only they were her real parents.

It turned out that her birth mother had actually abandoned her and ran off!!!

But it doesn't matter to her because she had a family and she didn't need another one.
