Identical twins When they were children, the single mother of three adopted Alan and Patrick. However, their birth mother surprised everyone by attending the celebration on their 18th birthday.
While everyone was having a great time, Alan was disturbing the guests.
He raised his glass, said, “Excuse me, everyone,” and turned to Alice. “Mom, will you please come with Patrick and me?
Alice stood next to her boys and gave them a hesitant smile.
“I want to thank you all for coming,” Alan said. “Some of you may not realize this, but Patrick and I would be in trouble without Mom in our lives. That’s why we wanted to take this opportunity to thank you, Mom,” he continued.
Alice started to cry as Patrick wrapped his arms around her shoulders.
“Alan’s right,” Patrick said. Mom discovered us in the park opposite this house eighteen years ago. Alone and abandoned. We are incredibly grateful that she took us on. Mom, you are loved! Really, really! We cannot repay the love and attention you have given us, no matter how much we wish we could.”
The audience cheered and Alice and her boys hugged each other. But suddenly the gathering fell silent.
Looking around, Alan and Patrick noticed a small, pale woman in torn clothes in their garden.
“Uh, can we help you?” Alan asked.
“You’re Alan and this is… your brother, Patrick?” she asked shakily.
“Yes,” replied Patrick. “Who are you?”
A loud exclamation echoed through the group as she shakily declared, “I-I am your birth mother, Amanda…”
When the festivities came to an abrupt halt, Alan, Patrick, Amanda, and Alice entered the house.
“Why are you here after all these years?” Amanda sat down on the couch in the living room and Alan asked.
“I did something wrong the last time I saw your father eighteen years ago. “I’ve been trapped all these years,” Amanda snapped, her past flashing before her eyes.
Eighteen years ago…
After saying hello to her boss Adam and his parents, Amanda, 24, adjusted her outfit and joined the restaurant team. A limousine appeared out of nowhere in front of the dining room.
“Congratulations and welcome back boss!” Adam and his parents were showered with confetti as the restaurant erupted in cheers.
The staff went back to work and wished Adam the best of luck growing the company in Europe, but Amanda’s eyes remained on him. She watched him leave for the office after he spoke quietly to the manager.
“Oh my god, finally!” She slipped into his arms and locked the office door.
“You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this!
“Our children look exactly like you,” she continued, stepping back. “Boys in twins. Adam, I made up so many stories about how I had another fiancé!”
And the pregnancy was really hard, but now that you’re here, we can finally spend time together.’
“Stop it, Amanda,” he said, looking away.
“We won’t be together.”
“Stop talking! This is no time for pranks!” She gave him a silly smile and hugged him. However, he withdrew.
He hissed, “For God’s sake, stop it!” “And talk less loudly. Sorry Amanda, but I met someone while I was in Europe and we’re getting married in two weeks.”
Amanda gasped. Although Adam looked serious, she assumed he was still joking. He promised to give her $70,000 as well as unofficial monthly child support until the twins turned 18 and cover the cost of their college education. He only asked her to keep quiet about the twins.
“I say everything, your fiancé!” Amanda used blackmail on him. “She needs to know what you’re like, Adam!”
But Amanda was too innocent back then.
Unfazed by her remarks, Adam vowed to destroy her career and blacklist her.
“And then no one will hire you as a cook, Amanda,” he said. “So an amicable separation is a good way out for both of us.
Amanda was beyond heartbroken. She was too shocked to answer so she just went home and started screaming uncontrollably when she saw her twins. Sarah, her friend who was watching her children, was shocked when Amanda started crying uncontrollably on the living room floor.
“He left me! Sarah hugged her as she sobbed, ‘Because of the girl he met ten months ago!’
Sarah told Amanda, “He’s not the one for you.” And it makes sense that they’ll pay you back. Accept the offer. It will ensure the future of your offspring.”
But Amanda’s rage grew. As she wiped away her tears, she yelled, “There is no way to back down!”
“Adam will never marry and live a happy life…
Not as long as I live!”
At dinner the next day, Amanda’s gaze followed Adam and Catherine, his fiancée. She saw Adam playing the gentleman and wanted to scream to tell everyone what a horrible person he was. But she had a plan, so she pulled herself together.
“What would you like, madam?” She approached Catherine’s desk and asked.
“Hello, this is Amanda, the cook. I’m going to help you today.”
“Oh my god, please call me Catherine,” Catherine cried as she stood up. “It’s true that I came for breakfast, but we’ll talk about that later. Could you give me a tour of the dining room? It’s been too long since your employer put it off!”
Amanda gave me a sly smile. She exclaimed, “Oh, that would be a pleasure.”
During their tour of the restaurant, Amanda was so kind to Catherine that they became friends. Amanda finally got her wish when Catherine insisted on having breakfast with her.
“I wanted to ask you something as a friend, Amanda…” Catherine looked at her as she stopped eating. Has Adam ever dated an employee? Not that he was hiding anything from me, but I was just curious.’
Although Amanda was ecstatic, her expression remained grim. “Well, Mr. Quinn had a bit of a reputation with the ladies, but come on Catherine, he’s such a gentleman and now that he’s met the love of his life, he’s turned over a new leaf,” she added with a smile. “You probably have nothing to worry about.
However, Catherine was lost in contemplation, not sure if she really knew Adam. When Amanda realized this, she was thrilled. After a moment she excused herself and headed out of the restaurant, eager to carry out the second half of her plan.
At the pharmacy across the street, she said to the pharmacist, “Hey, um, can I get some sleeping pills?”
That evening, Adam was celebrating his freedom at a restaurant with his friends. Several men served Adam and his friends; the rest of the crew went home.
Amanda said she was finalizing the new menu items so she stayed behind.
She walked over to their table and saw that Adam and his friends were really drunk and some of them were leaving. Under the guise of cleaning the dishes, she secretly slipped sleeping pills into Adam’s glass.
She smiled at the waiter and said, “Oh, let me help you,” as she poured them drinks.
That evening, Amanda watched Adam through the kitchen door until he finished the last of his booze.
When she saw that he was fast asleep, she became frightened and two of his friends agreed to bring him home.
She rushed over to them and shouted, “You can’t!” You can’t take him home because Mr. Quinn’s fiancee is having a bachelorette party there with her friends. Could you help me move him to his office sofa? When he works late, he sleeps there.’
Her heart pounded as she watched the two men exchange glances, not sure if they believed her story.
A few moments later they said, “Sure!” and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Amanda called a stripper to a restaurant when Adam was alone. “Ten times the amount they quoted on your website,” she suggested to the lady. “Make it look like you seduced him and went above and beyond your ‘job description’.”
“Are you crazy?” the woman replied. “I’m not sleeping with men for any money you can offer. I’m out of here, keep the money!”
“No, wait!” Amanda pulled her aside. Do you realize that it’s enough to make it look like you’re sharing a bed with him? I think his fiancee should witness the two of you together. Is that something you can do?”
“You should have said that sooner!” The stripper rolled her eyes and nodded.
It was seven in the morning, two hours after that. As planned, Amanda called Catherine to invite her to a restaurant for breakfast. However, Catherine was not prepared for the surprise.
She stormed into Adam’s office yelling, “WHAT THE HELL, ADAM?!” Amanda stood behind her, beaming that her plan had worked.
After removing herself from Adam, the stripper began to get ready. Adam sat motionless on the couch.
“How could you do that when we’re getting married in a few days, Adam?!” Catherine growled. “Disgusting!”
“I didn’t do anything, baby!” He stood up and shook his head. “I-I don’t remember anything because I was pretty drunk last night, but-”
“Never cheat on your future husband,” the dancer joked. “You called me to a private show, then we had wine, you told me how beautiful I looked…and the rest is history!”
He yelled, “Don’t lie!” “You know I would have paid you to call you here but I couldn’t?”
Present me with the transaction.”
She shrugged and said, “You gave me money,” and pulled out her purse.
“Lies!” Adam was furious. “Another series of lies, honey! I only use my credit card for purchases.”
Then he noticed Amanda looking back over Catherine’s shoulder.
As the stripper walked away, he added, “Actually, you know what, honey.”
“We’ll check the cameras and find out what happened!”
When Adam and Catherine watched the CCTV and discovered that Amanda was the one who led the stripper to Adams’ office, Amanda’s plan backfired. Adam has just dumped Amanda and urged her out of his and Catherine’s life, despite Catherine’s demands that she be blacklisted.
Then she growled, “I won’t!” “You will not live in peace, Adam!”
Amanda decided to attend Adam and Catherine’s wedding as a guest.
“Stop Amanda!” Sarah admonished her. Amanda was too drunk to care for the twins, so she moved in with her.
She swallowed her drink and angrily exclaimed, “I didn’t ask your opinion!” “That man can’t just leave me and go on happily ever after!”
“Wake up, Amanda!” Sarah informed her. “You should take care of your two sons! You have two! This is not the end of the world! You can find a more suitable man.”
But Amanda only listened to herself. After getting Sarah to leave her alone, Amanda drove to the park designated as Adam and Catherine’s wedding venue.
Amanda saw a woman sitting on a bench across from the arena and swallowed the tears of rage that welled up in her eyes. Her three children joined the game.
After ten minutes of leaving her twins with the woman, Amanda burst into the venue screaming, “The Groom IS THE FATHER OF MY TWINS!”
The guests looked at Adam, gasping in shock as Amanda smiled. She didn’t know that Adam had told Catherine the truth.
He told her to “stop embarrassing yourself, Amanda,” and Amanda’s rage knew no bounds. She lost control of her temper and began damaging the entire place, overturning tables, kicking chairs, and tearing decorations, all before the patrol officer even approached her.
He started leading her out. However, she was careless for a split second and managed to get her hands on the policeman’s revolver.
She tried to hit Adam but failed.
He shouted, holding his injured arm, “What the hell!”
Amanda caught a cold. She lost her grip on the weapon. After the officer tackled her to the ground a second later, she passed out.
Today…
Amanda concluded, “And so I ruined all of our lives.” “I’m sorry. I hope you’ll forgive me one day.”
“And I was the woman she asked to watch you both,” Alice said.
After a moment of silence, Patrick turned to Amanda. “Maybe we’ll forgive you eventually. But in the meantime, we’ll help you start over. We’ve both been through enough together.”
