Rebirth Of A Forged Villianess

" I should you be asking you that my dear. this painting is beautiful but very sad. are you feeling alright?"

suprised willow looked up from her work and stared at her mothers wavering eyes. she was hiding something from her....but what was it? marissa was honestly a mystery for willow. Her mother had never showed a hint of anger, sadness, or envy despite being betrayed by her husband, losing her parents at a young age, and forced to give up on her dreams. were all mothers this kind? or was it that marissa was just more detached than others? either way willow didn't mind it. her parents were the only ones who ever truly cared for her.

" no momma I was just painting something for a book I read long ago". she replied keeping her tone calm.

In truth the drowned woman was from her past. A young maid named hannah that she had jumped into a river and tried to save but in the end her scarred body couldn't keep up. the poor girl died because of her weakness, if she never would have trusted damon and lily then she would have lived. later on she learned that the girl had many drugs in her system before her death.

she could still recall how shocked she was to think that an honest girl like hannah had taken narcotics. Now aware of everything those two had plotted, she believed hannah was murdered by damon or lily for learning the truth about their relationship or maybe something even more.

after setting down her paint brush willow wrapped her arms around marissa's waist and hugged her mother standing next to her. whispering a "thank you" to god once again for this chance.

cheered up from her daughters hug, marissa felt like doing something fun.

" would you like to go shopping for some school clothes? I saw the cutest dress the other day and I really want you to come help me pick one for your cousins graduation".

remembering her cousin Camellia a genuine smile spread across willows face. " that sounds great momma, let me get ready real quick."

washing the paint from her hands willow got excited thinking about her adorable cousin. she was a capricious little thing who had a wonder l.u.s.t so great she visited almost every country in Europe and Asia by the time she was 20 in willows past. she was also a genius who had skipped several grades that became e world renowned archeologist by 18. when all those tragic events occurred she had luckily been across the world enjoying the archeologists dig in Jimbae, far away from damon and lilys harmful clutches. Camellia must be 12 by now willow thought happily. dressed cute but casual willow dressed in a long sleeve lilac dress that reached her t.h.i.g.hs and black leggings and boots. thrown up in a ponytail, her pale hair was out of her face that only had a smidge of lipstick and mascara.

To marissa's delight, willow seemed sincerely happy to go out with her, no longer looking as if a dark cloud hung above her head.

As they left willow wondered if she should have invited lily but thinking how her mother might not feel comfortable with it, she quickly changed her mind.

how could she be aware that this small act would spell out disaster for her family once again?
