Mildred decided to pay her son Thomas a visit one day. As she entered his place, he went straight to the kitchen, put an apron on, and started making his favorite cupcakes.

At one moment, someone entered the place. It was Thomas’ girlfriend, Delia. Mildred couldn’t wait to finally meet her future daughter-in-law who was dressed in a fancy dress.

But just as she entered the kitchen, Delia took one of the cupcakes and told Mildred, “We don’t eat this kind of food. Thomas and I are very health-conscious. You should probably ask before baking such things!” mistaking her mother-in-law for their new maid.

Mildred didn’t say anything, she just smiled and that was it. Just then, Thomas entered the kitchen as well and said, “Mom, you’re up early! These look great!”

“That’s your mother?” Delia asked, surprised and embarrassed.

“Yep, and her cupcakes are the best,” Thomas answered with a smile on his face.

Mildred sipped herself some coffee and told her son and Delia that she would take some rest and leave them catch up.

However, despite Mildred behaving as nice as possible, Delia told Thomas that his mother was extremely rude to her and made her feel so small, so belittled.

Thomas was surprised. He assured Delia that his mother was a great person, she just needed time to get to know her.

Mildred overheard their conversation and she knew something about Delia was odd. She could sense she was with her son for his money.

During dinner time, Delia started talking about fashion, trying to impress Mildred, who owned a fashion company she has been building for many years. However, Thomas and Mildred weren’t that interested in Delia’s ideas.

Thomas steered the conversation and turned to his mom saying, “Speaking of fashion trends, Mom, the new summer line is almost ready. We’ve incorporated some bold patterns this time.”

Delia had this idea that the company should follow a marketing idea she stumbled upon on Instagram, but both Thomas and his mom believed it didn’t fit their brand’s style.

“Social media is indeed powerful, Delia. But our brand’s reputation has been built on a certain elegance and timelessness. Flashy isn’t always aligned with our brand identity,” Mildred responded, trying not to offend Delia.

“Right,” Thomas added, “we aim for a balance between trend-setting and maintaining our brand’s classic appeal. It’s a fine line in the fashion industry.”

Then, Thomas said it was enough speaking of business because he had something more important to share with his mom; he and Delia were getting married. He popped the question and she said ‘yes.’

“That’s quite the news, Thomas,” Mildred replied, not sure if that was a good idea.

“Isn’t it wonderful, Mildred? We’re so happy,” Delia said, smiling.

“Of course. How about some wine to celebrate?” Mildred said, asking Delia to get some wine from the cellar.

“Sure, Mildred,” Delia replied.

Once Delia left the room, Mildred raised her concerns. She tried to warn Thomas about Delia, but he wouldn’t listen. He told his mom that he was happy with his future wife and that he was certain she loved him for who he was, not his company or his money.

When Delia returned, she didn’t only carry a bottle of wine in her hand, but a plate covered with a sheet too.

She placed it in front of Thomas and asked him to see what was underneath.

Thomas took the sheet off and saw a pregnancy test showing two red lines.

“We’re going to have a baby, Thomas!” Delia shouted. Thomas was filled with joy. He got out of his seat and wrapped Delia in a hug.

All Mildred could mutter was, “Con-congratulations.”

Realizing they were determined to get married and with a baby on the way, Mildred suggested Thomas and Delia sign a prenup. That was if he wanted her to give him the control over the business.

After Mildred left, Delia and Thomas spoke about what his mom told them. Delia was against signing a prenup, and Thomas said that their love was bigger than the company and that if his mom refuses to give him control over the business, they could do something else and find jobs, but Delia got angry and said that wasn’t an option.

Later that evening, as Thomas was getting ready to take a shower and with his mom’s words echoing in his head, he saw the pregnancy test which was placed on the edge of the sink. As he though about what to do next, the tests accidentally fell into the sink and the red color of the two lines started to smudge.

He realized Delia wasn’t really pregnant. She drew the lines using a marker. Was his mother right about her after all?

After he recovered from the shock, Thomas decided to test Delia. He wanted to know if she truly loved him or she was with him for his money.

The following day, Delia tired to convince Thomas that they needed to break free from his mother, who Delia said was controlling, and run the business by themselves.

“Think about it. You can break free from her. Transfer the ownership of the business to me. We can run it together without her looming over us,” Delia said.

“Transfer the business to you? That’s my family’s legacy,” he replied. “My mother has spent her life building it.”

Delia gave Thomas an ultimatum. “It’s either me or her, Thomas. Choose me, or I’ll leave,” she said.

Thomas pretended to agree because he came up with an idea. “Alright, I’ll transfer the business to you,” he said, hiding his real plan.

“You won’t regret this, Thomas. We’ll be unstoppable together,” she whispered.

Delia thought she had won. With Thomas transferring the business to her, she had a plan to remove Mildred from her way by not letting her to have a say about the company.

She was speaking on the phone to one of her friends, bragging how she has finally done it when someone knocked on the door.

Delia ended the conversation and opened the door. There was a man in uniform, stern and official, with a group of people accompanying him.

“Miss, I’m Patrick. We’re here to commence the attachment of assets,” the man announced, extending a formal document to her. “The business Thomas transferred to you has significant unpaid taxes. You’re in serious legal trouble.”

Delia panicked. “Please, can we talk about this in private? I’m sure we can make a deal,” she pleaded while the men moved around the house listing furniture and valuables.

“And what about Thomas? Are you willing to throw him under the bus for your gain?” Patrick asked her.

She said that she didn’t care about him, she only cared about the company. “It was all a ruse to gain control of his assets. I’m sure you and I can work out a deal,” she confessed, desperate. “Come on, how much do you want?”

“So, you’re offering financial incentives, and perhaps more, to make this go away?” he asked loudly. “Is that what you hear, too, Thomas?” Patrick called out.

Thomas and his mom stepped out from behind the door of the adjoining room.

“Y-you set this up?” Delia started yelling.

Thomas smiled. “Meet Patrick and his team of actors, love,” he said sarcastically. “The documents for the business transfer were fake… just like your pregnancy test, Delia. Next time you try this ruse on some unsuspecting fool, you might want to use a permanent ink marker.”

Delia started crying and begging for another chance. She tried to convince Thomas that she truly loved him, but he was done with her.

As he told her to leave his place, Thomas turned to his mother and thanked her for helping him realize what kind of woman he wanted to marry.

After years of hard work and dedication, Angelina, 28, found herself feeling proud of the school she has successfully ran for years.

As a teacher, she thought she has seen it all, until one day a girl entered her class and introduced herself as Emily, saying that she owned a cat named Whiskers and that she and her dad had recently moved to town. All of a sudden, the girl added, “Oh, and my dad has a photo of you at our house.”

Angelina smiled awkwardly and didn’t ask any questions, but the girl’s words stood with her for a while. Intrigued to see who her father was, Angelina decided to wait and see who would pick up the girl from school.

The moment she saw the girl’s father, Angelina’s heart stopped for a second. It was Michael, her high-school sweetheart whom she planned her life with when she was young.

This brought so many memories of her life with him.

Angelina recalled the days when the two had deep conversations about their future together, and then she recalled the decision she once made that hunted her all these years.

Twelve years ago, she woke up feeling pain and being pale. Michael was by her side. He got scared and brought her a glass of water, but she didn’t feel any better.

Not knowing what to do next, he called her parents who were quick to arrive to Michael’s place. They all went to the hospital together, praying that nothing serious was going on.

After running some tests, doctors revealed that Angelina was pregnant. She was expecting a baby with Michael.

Sharing the news with him, Michael was over the moon. He told her he loved the idea of being a father and spending the rest of his life with her and their baby. Angelina’s parents were as excited. They were happy she found someone like Michael who loved her so much.

However, Angelina felt conflicted. She didn’t feel like she was ready for a baby. She had dreams she wanted to pursue, a career on her mind, and a wish to own her own school one day. When she attempted to voice her concerns, her dad stopped her with the words, “Now is not the time for foolish dreams. You need to focus on what’s important – this baby.”

Angelina nodded. She felt like this situation was forcing her to put her aspirations aside, and she didn’t feel happy because of it.

Some months later, Angelina received a letter from a college she had applied for some time ago.

“Mom, Dad, look at this. The college I applied to… they’ve accepted me!”

Her parents reacted with mixed feelings. “Angelina, this is great news,” her mother said, “But have you thought this through? With the baby coming…”

“I could do both – be a mom and study. I could manage with some help from Michael,” Angelina suggested, her voice full of hope.

Her father was skeptical, “Angelina, we are proud of you, but you have to be realistic. You’re about to become a mother.”

Angelina said, “But I can do both. I know I can.”

Her mom then said, “Michael has found a good job, and he’s preparing for the baby. He can’t be expected to juggle work and help with the baby while you study.” Her dad was on the same page as her mother. “Your place is with the child, Angelina. Michael will be the breadwinner, and you should focus on raising your family,” he said.

At that moment, Angelina felt like her dreams diminished. Her parents didn’t understand her aspirations. They only saw her as a future mother, and that was all.

When the time came for Angelina to give birth to her daughter, her parents and Michael were by her side. The baby was born healthy.

She loved her little one, but the idea of motherhood overwhelmed Angelina. She felt trapped and robbed of the life she had always envisioned for herself.

After thinking carefully, she decided she wasn’t ready to be a mother, and she felt like her girl would be better without her, so she left a note and left, leaving her family behind.

Angelina attended the prestigious school, excelled at her studies, and was finally able to open her own school as she had always dreamed. However, the thought of abandoning her family haunted her every single day.

After gathering the courage, Angelina decided to follow Emily after school one day, and she had suddenly found herself at Michael’s doorstep.

“Angelina?” Michael asked in shock when he opened the door.

“I’m sorry to come unannounced. We need to talk,” Angelina started, feeling emotional.

Michael then invited her in. They talked about his life with his daughter, and how things were hard at times but they somehow managed.

“I left to chase my dreams, but I’ve realized the cost was too high. I missed out on so much,” Angelina confessed, her eyes on the photographs.

“You achieved your dream, then? Your school?” Michael asked.

“Yes, I did,” Angelina responded, her voice a mix of pride and regret.

“Then maybe it wasn’t all in vain,” Michael said. “We’ve had a good life, me and our daughter. It wasn’t easy, but we managed. She’s grown into a wonderful, smart, and kind girl.”

Angelina told him that the school Emily now attended was in fact hers.

Michael said he was glad she succeeded in her life, and that there was something else he needed to tell her.

Emily was sick and the treatment for her illness cost a lot of money. He did all he could to be able to find the money, but it was hard. He even sold his house and that was the reason they moved places.

Angelina felt helpless. She found her daughter after that many years and she simply couldn’t lose her again.

That’s when she made a decision that would change her life yet again.

A few days passed by when Angelina appeared at Michael’s door again. She was holding an envelope with a check in it with a significant sum.

Michael asked her where she had found the money.

“I sold the school, Michael,” Angelina revealed, her decision heavy but clear.

“But that was your dream—” Michael said.

“I know, but our daughter’s life and being a part of it means more to me now. I lost you both once; I can’t let that happen again. I’d give everything to be a part of her life again,” Angelina said with determination.

Luckily, Emily was able to receive the treatment and heal.

Angelina moved in with Michael and their daughter, hoping to bond with her girl.

Being with her family again brought Angelina a sense of peace and fulfillment, far surpassing her professional achievements.

Cutting ties with members of the family is never an easy decision, but there are times when that’s the only reasonable thing to do.

A man shared a story of a traumatizing experience and a day no one could prepare him for.

The day started as usual. He was at the office, trying to find some missing files, when his phone started ringing. It was his eight-year-old son Luke who was supposed to be at school at the time. Looking at the phone, the man realized that his son had called him 10 times before, and he immediately knew that something was very wrong.

He rushed to call him back, freaking out, when he heard the boy saying, “Daddy, please come home!! Mom is crying…”

“Slow down, buddy. What’s happening?”

“Daddy, I don’t know what to do. I just came home and now I hear mom crying in her room!”

“Why didn’t you go into her room?” the man asked his son.

“I’m too scared to go inside. I hear other voices in there!”

“Okay, okay! Stay in your room. Lock the door! I’ll call your mom,” the man said, trying not to panic.

He tried calling his wife, but the call went straight to voicemail. This wasn’t something usual for his wife who always picked up when he called her. Sadly, this made him even more terrified. He quickly grabbed his keys and called 911 as he rushed out of the office.

Unaware of what could be going on, the man couldn’t wait to get home.

When he arrived, the cops still weren’t there but he couldn’t wait for them, he simply had to enter the room and make sure that he wife was safe.

No matter what it was, or who was inside the room, he was ready to face them.

The man kicked the door opened and to his surprise his wife wasn’t inside the room. It was her sister, Diana, having “fun” with two men.

At that moment, his wife, Nikkie, came in with the cops running after her. When she saw her sister, she was horrified.

“Diana?! What the heck?!” Nikkie blurted out.

The man’s sister-in-law was wrapped in the expensive sheets and pretended as though she didn’t do anything wrong. “I thought no one would be home. Just having a bit of fun, that’s all,” she said.

Diana was married and she believed that Nikkie’s home would be the perfect place for her extramarital encounters. She used the key Nikkie once gave her and she believed there would be no one at home.

However, that day Luke felt sick and one of his teachers was nice enough to drive him home before previously alerting Nikkie who arranged to get the rest of her day off from work. 

The teacher believed the boy would be safe at home until his mom arrives, and yes, he was supposed to be safe, but this incident scared him for life.

Luke couldn’t stop hugging his mom and asking if she was safe.

“My boy was traumatized. Honestly, so was I,” the man wrote.

“So, Mom wasn’t in danger?” Luke asked. “No, my boy. It was just your Aunt Diana being funny. But don’t worry because we won’t be seeing her again any time soon.”

He gave Nikkie a serious look, and she nodded, and that’s when they cut ties with Diana.

The man sharing this story added that he had also sent Diana’s husband a warning text about his wife because he believed he gad the right to know what she was doing.

What are your thoughts on this? How would you react?
