Billionaire’s Lost Angel

One week later.

Lotus slowly opened her eyes, blinking away the remnants of sleep as she found herself in the luxurious bedroom of her grand mansion. Rubbing her temples, she sat up and glanced at the clock on her bedside table. It was 7 a. m. She sighed deeply, realizing that the time had come to face her past and mend the broken bonds with her children.

Just as she was about to swing her legs out of bed, the door creaked open, and her lifelong friend, Sarah, entered the room. Sarah’s soft brown eyes were filled with concern as she asked, “Lotus, are you ready?”

Lotus hesitated for a moment, gazing down at her hands. “I… I need just a minute, Sarah,” she murmured, her voice filled with a mix of apprehension and hope.

Sarah nodded understandingly and gave her a reassuring smile. “Take all the time you need, my dear. You’ve come so far, and now it’s time for this important step towards reconciling with Jenny and James.”

Lotus sighed, the past week has been very very hectic for her she had been working under covers and trying too hard to get away from the media. She succeeded but it wasn’t raining now her company was back to life and the whole world was shaking that Lotus Kent was coming back. But in all some people thought it was just a joke saying that Lotus Kent was too disgraced and embarrassed after the last social scandal to come out in the open to re-establish her company and life again.

After taking a deep breath, Lotus finally stood up from the edge of the bed and made her way to the door. Sarah followed closely behind, her presence a comforting anchor in this storm of emotions.

As they stepped outside, a sleek ebony limousine awaited them, the driver standing by, ready to take them to their destination. Lotus hesitated for a moment before climbing inside. The anticipation gnawed at her nerves as the car smoothly pulled away from the mansion.

The journey seemed to stretch on forever, with Lotus lost in her thoughts. She couldn’t help but feel anxious. After all, Natasha knew her as Linda, the popular model, not as Lotus, the mother of Jenny and James. She had hidden her true identity to protect them, but now it was time for the truth to be revealed.

Her heart pounded in her chest as the car came to a stop in front of Natasha’s house. She took a deep breath, glancing at Sarah for reassurance before stepping out of the limo. The door opened, and Natasha emerged, her face a mix of curiosity and concern.

“Hey, Natasha. We… we need to talk,” Lotus said, her voice tinged with nervousness.

Natasha’s eyes widened as she took in the gravity of the situation. “Linda? What’s going on?”

Lotus took a step closer, her palms slightly sweaty. “Natasha, I… I’m Lotus. I’m Jenny and James’ mother.”

Natasha’s mouth dropped open in shock, and her eyes filled with disbelief. “You… you’re Lotus? But… but that can’t be. I thought you were Linda!”

Lotus smiled sadly, her hand reaching into her bag to retrieve the birthmark pendant that she had held dear to her heart for so many years. She held it out to Natasha, her voice wavering with emotion. “No, Natasha. I am Lotus. And this birthmark… It’s proof. It’s always been proof.”

As Natasha’s gaze locked onto the pendant, tears welled up in her eyes. All of the pain and longing that had been buried within her for so long came flooding to the surface. She closed the distance between them in an instant, pulling Lotus into a tight hug.

“Oh, Lotus, I can’t believe it! You’re here. You’re really here,” Natasha sobbed, her voice muffled against Lotus’ shoulder.

Lotus held onto Natasha, her own tears streaming down her face as well. “I’m here, Natasha. I’m here, and I want to be there for Jenny and James.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

They stayed like that for a few minutes, the weight of their shared grief and lost time hanging heavy in the air. Finally, Natasha broke the silence, wiping away her tears and taking a step back.

“We need to get you back to being Lotus, so everyone can recognize you. Come inside, let’s figure everything out,” Natasha said determinedly, escorting Lotus into her house.

Later, in the spacious living room of Lotus’ mansion, the afternoon sun filtered through the tall windows. Lotus sat on the plush couch, a sense of contentment washing over her. It was a small comfort amidst the chaos, but it was a start.

Her children were still hesitant about accepting her back into their lives. She knew there were many wounds that needed healing, and she had a long road ahead of her. But with every step closer to being physically present with her children, she felt a glimmer of hope.

As she gazed out of the window, the sun’s warm rays casting a gentle glow on her face, a wave of determination washed over her. She knew deep in her heart that she would do whatever it took to rebuild the broken bond with Jenny and James. And now that she had the support of Natasha, she felt a newfound strength within her.

Lotus closed her eyes, her resolve firm. The surgery to remove the disguise was just the beginning. She would have to face her children, reveal her true self, and prove to them that she was their mother, that she loved them unconditionally.

With a renewed sense of purpose, Lotus stood up and walked towards the mirror hanging on the wall. As she caught her reflection, she stared at the face of Linda, a model who had hidden her true identity for far too long. But the time for hiding was over. The time for healing had come.

It was not certain that she wanted in revenge but she just wanted a happy life for her and her children and the people she cared about. If revenge with put their lives into jeopardy she would not venture into it at all.
