Chapter 45 I Would Have Followed Mom To Heaven “Have you eaten yet? No. I thought so. Me neither. I grabbed something to eat on my way here. For both of us, Gabrielle said, opening all the takeout containers.

She had brought four or five different dishes and some appetizers, which were more than enough for two people.

“Wow! You are the best friend anyone could ever ask for. I just rolled out of bed and I am starving. You know, you do live in the Vineyard Villa. Westley has surely hired one of the best chefs. It’s such a pity you won’t be eating there today, isn’t it?” Sloane picked up the chopsticks and helped herself to a piece of chicken.

When a girl is starving, any food seems like heaven itself. Especially such a variety of delicacies.

“Westley hired the chef, not me. It wasn’t my decision.” Gabrielle passed a bowl of rice to Sloane, and they sat down to eat, opposite to each other.

Sloane had always felt that there was something bothering her friend, but Gabrielle didn’t seem eager to discuss the matter, se After all, Gabrielle was one of the most capable people she knew. She could handle anything that came her way, so Sloane felt that there really was nothing she could help her friend with Before they were even done eating. Sloane’s phone chimed. As she picked it up and saw it was a message from Benny, her face immediately fell “What’s wrong? Is it Benny?” This was the very first thought Gabrielle had, after seeing the serious look on her friend’s face.

Of all the people in the world, Benny was the only one who could make Sloane feel miserable and anxious in the blink of an eye.

“Yes, it’s him. He asked me to meet later.” Sloane didn’t want to keep any secrets from Gabrielle. After all, her friend had always known how things were between her and Benny.

“Sloane, are you really considering seeing him?” Gabrielle looked at her wide-eyed. She knew for a fact that Bernay was just as crazy as Westley The two of them could be described as a demon and the devil respectively. Was that description doing them justice? Probably not They were far worse than that “I really don’t want to. I’d rather I never had to see him again for the rest of my life! But I have to go.” As she finished her sentence, Sloane popped a piece of sweet and sour pork into her mouth, hoping that the flavor could help temporarily lessen the bittemess she felt.

That was what Benny had always brought in her life. Bitterness and pain. But she couldn’t leave him Because he was the only person in the world that knew a secret Sloane would do anything to find out the location of her mother’s He had always been dangling this piece of information over her. When Sloane’s mother and Benny’s father had died in an airplane crash, she was still a child. And it was Benny who had to arrange both funerals.

Benny had never liked the fact that his father remarried. He never really accepted Sloane’s mother as his stepmother and a member of the Hall family. So he didn’t put her to rest next to his father, but he chose another grave for her.

As to the location of that grave, Benny had never revealed it to Sloane. She had begged him endlessly, but it was no use for her to Scrent. CY O Eve refuse to cal a bite and let herself waste away. He wouldn’t tell her Vthing other than to be a good girl and do as he said. And if she didn’t give him a hard Lime maybe she would Eind him in a good mood one day, good enough for him to spill the beans But it had been four, almost five years since the tragic accident, and Benny still hadn’t told Sloane a thing. So she had no choice but to live under his thumb.

Gabrielle knew exactly how depressed and helpless her friend felt. After hearing that her mother was dead, Sloane was devastated. She ended up collapsing and it was like she was comatose for several days. When she finally woke up, her mother had already been put to the ground.

Benny never even mentioned where Sloane’s mother was buried. He just reminded her. frequently, to be nice, or he would send her to meet her mother.

In an attempt to find the grave, the two of them had searched every cemetery in the city. checked every single headstone, but it was pointless.

There were just so many nameless graves. But then again, that was probably Benny’s plan all along. He never put a name on the headstone on purpose. to keep Sloane from After a while, Sloane gave up looking for her mother’s glave altogether. She knew that as long as Benny didn’t want her to know the location, she would never find it.

Even with Gabrielle by her side, she could not go against Benny.

“Sloane, I swear I will do anything to help you find your mother’s grave. And as soon as we find it, you’ll never have to put up with that horrible man again.” Gabrielle promised her friend, in an attempt to comfort her.

But they both knew that no matter what they did, they would never find the grave. They had already tried everything. If they could do it, they would have found it years ago.

“Gabrielle, as long as I have you by my side, I know that one day I will finally get Benny to tell me where my mother is buried.” Obviously, Sloane was the more optimistic of the two.

Even after having tried everything to get Benny to give her what she wanted. Even after all her attempts had been thwarted by that ruthless brute.

Over the years, Sloane had stopped trying to push Benny. He would tell her whenever he wanted to. It didn’t matter anyway. Her “If you weren’t by my side supporting me. comforting me, I am sure I would have followed my other a long time ago. To be with her forever in heaven.” Sloane said as she leaned back, looking calon and collected.

Sure, she was talking about herself, but it seemed as though there was a double meaning to her words. Like she was also talking about someone else.

It was good seeing Sloane calm like she now was, but her words filled Gabrielle with Sadness “Sloane, are you crazy? What do you mean you were going to follow your mother? Do you think that’s what she would have wanted? Well, I think she would have been furious to hear you talk like that.” Gabrielle walked up to Sloane and held her hand.

“Don’t be silly! I just said that would happen if I didn’t have you. But you are here. How could I ever leave you alone?” Sloane smiled at Gabrielle and pulled her in a tight hug.

“Sloane, all your mother ever wanted is for you to be happy. I am sure that’s what she still wants. So, be happy and your mother’s soul will be at peace. Never give up on yourself,” Gabrielle told Sloane. But in truth, it wasn’t just her friend she was trying to convince. It was also herself.
