Chapter 2 A mother he deserved

Exhaustion has taken over her body. She slowly moves herself into the house after searching for a whole day. The searching team has already sent her the negative responses one after one, like stabbing from a knife.

Tears have dried out. She has done everything to find her son. She asked the community's CCTV footage and visited the traffic controlling office if they saw anyone or any foreign cars leaving her mansion.

However, the response is still negative. As if her son suddenly disappeared from the house like air.

The pain in her lower abdomen is like someone punching her stomach. She feels the cramps are getting stronger.

But she has no strength to focus on her body. She can't live without her son. She can't live without him at all.

Almost crawling back into the house, she sits on the floor right middle of the living room, trying not to cry more..Her consciousness is fighting against her to shut. But she can't lose her mind.. She must find her son anywhere. He is something hiding..He might have been good at hiding.

" Mom won't scold you to learn piano or anything. Mom will love you. Mom will let you eat as much candy as you want. So ... So come back.. Stop hiding from Mom!"

She cries, curling into a ball on the floor. She is too scared. She is lost, wants to find her son and put him in her heart that he can never leave her sight. She cries, anger with heartbreak forms tears in her eyes. She should have never let him go alone.. She should have stayed with him wherever he went. She should have been there when her kid was crying. She can't help but imagine some unwanted things. She can't help but overthink, her heart is crashing.

However, while she is crying and groaning with pain and fear, her attention goes to some footsteps.

" Asher?" She hurriedly sits on the floor, wishing it was her son.

But to her horror, she finds her husband standing before her with another woman. His hand is intertwined with that woman's hand.

Her shaky body somehow pulls itself up and her eyes slowly shift on the woman's face who is staring at her with a smug look on her face. Her eyes widen in horror as she starts shaking her head.

" No Now. No. Not now! Travis! Asher! I... I can't find -!"

" I don't know what you are doing here with this pathetic self, but let's talk. I think it's time for ending things without making it hard for -!"

" IT'S NOT TIME FOR THIS!" She screams, tears streaming down her face, " It's not time for this. Our son, Asher... I can't find Asher. Where were you? I can't find Asher,!"

She chokes on her breath as she breaks down.

" What did you say?" Travis Ericson roars and grabs her hair out of sudden. However, he immediately pulls his hand away and looks at her calmly, " Where is Asher?"

Dawn shakes her head constantly as she cries. She doesn't know. She can't find her son at all.

" Answer me!!! What did you do with my son? I told you, Dawn! The only thing that you are allowed to do in this house is protect my son. How dare you losing my son? Did you hurt him because I didn't come here on our wedding anniversary? Did you hurt him to get revenge on me?" He shakes her constantly, and shouts.

" I... I didn't. I didn't hurt my son. Please... Please find him. I beg you. I can't live without him!" She cries, begging and kneeling down in front of him.

" Fuck!!! I shouldn't have trusted you with my son at all. Spring! I am sorry. But I have to find Asher!"

Travis leaves urgently, dialing the number of his friend who is a cop.

Meanwhile, Spring Clinton squats in front of Dawn who is crying constantly.

" You seem fine even after six years. I thought you would at least kill yourself!"

Dawn looks at Spring who seems to be enjoying the situation. She can't expect something wise from someone like Spring who ran away from her engagement because she wanted to have fun.

" What's with this expression? Are you looking down on me?" She grabs her hair and slaps across her face... " You seemed to have forgotten that the position you are in is my position."

" Let go!" Dawn shouts, pushing her away from her body. She hurriedly gets up and tries to enter Asher's room as she doesn't have any strength to confront Spring anything.

However, she pauses when Spring chuckles darkly... " That poor Asher. He thought he would be able to meet his father who didn't come home for two weeks. He thought he would be with his father on his birthday. He wanted to receive his father from the airport. But poor him, he didn't know his father was busy with me . He was too busy to meet his son for a while!"

Dawn slowly turns towards her, trying to understand what she just said. " Asher did what?" She asks, her voice trembling.

" Are you interested?" She smirks, walking closely, " I called your son yesterday. I told him to leave the house!"

" N-No! You.. You didn't!" She mutters, trying not to choke her.

" Tsk. Tsk! That poor boy. He was so excited to meet his father!"

" N-No!!! Take it back! You didn't do anything. My son can't leave. He didn't leave. There is no recording of him leaving the house. Don't lie. Don't lie, you Bitch!" She jumps on Spring and squeezes her neck.

" My son can't leave the house. He is only four." She cries and screams.

Spring closes her eyes and laughs, " He was stupid! Like you. Poor guy. He doesn't know that his father has been cheating on his mother last four years. Do you think you were happily married? My Poor sister. He was with me. He could never forget me. He loves me. He despise you. Now you are the one who killed his son as well!"

" No! NO! GIVE ME MY SON BACK. GIVE ME MY SON BACK!! I BEG YOU! Give me my son! I beg you!"

She cries pathetically and hopelessly. She knows Spring is a Cruel woman who can kill people. She has attempted to kill Dawn a lot of times.

Spring smirks and gets closer to her ear, " He is dead. He was stuck in an old car. He is dad. There should be no one between us. Not even your son!"

Dawn's eyes widen in shock and disbelief. Dawn's vision blurs with rage. She grabs a vase, ready to smash it over Spring's head. But before she can, a brutal kick sends her crashing to the floor.

She gasps in pain, clutching her abdomen. Looking up, she sees Travis, standing with Asher in his arms. Asher's body is lifeless, cold, and pale.

She turns, as Spring getting up with tears and running towards Travis who is standing before her, with Asher. " Travis! She is trying to kill me. She has lost her mind. She is accusing me of killing Asher. Don't you know how eagerly I was waiting to meet him? I thought him as my son!" She cries fakely burying her head on her palms.

" My Son!" Dawn tries to get up but unfortunately, her stomach hurts so badly that she can't.

" Don't call him your son! You vindictive Bitch!!! You killed my son. You locked him in your car! He was suffocated. He is dead!" Travis screams at her as he hugs Asher. His tears stream down his face. He thought to enjoy the birthday party with his son. But a mistake in his life has cost his son's life.

" N-No! I... I didn't. My son. Give him to me. My Asher. This bitch. This Bitch killed my son. Travis! She..."

" Enough!!!" He snarls, " I should have stopped you from conceiving that day. I should have listened to Spring's words and forced you to abort him. He deserved a mother like Spring. Not you."

Dawn's eyes are widely open and she is numb. She has been doing everything to take care of her son. Now this woman who killed her son deserves her son.

" She killed Asher. She said she told him that you would be back. She was the one who killed my son. She is the one who... Who took my son. I will kill her. I will kill this Bitch. She is murderer!!!" Dawn screams, trying to hit Spring.

" Enough! Madam!"

She pauses when Nancy suddenly shouts. " Just Admit your Crime. You told him to hide inside the trunk. You told that in front of me!"
