The Future of Princess Sabina
Chapter 40: Confession to My Mother.

A few hours later, I curled up on the sofa with a blanket, drinking a nice cup of tea in my parents' cute 2 bedroom apartment in Maroubra. It feels silly to have a blanket as Sydney is still warm in March, but that's one of the things I do when I feel vulnerable. My mother Ellen brought me a delicious cup of chicken and ham soup. Then she gently wiped the tears off my cheek with a handkerchief.

Ellen held my hand, looked at me, and spoke softly to me: “Sabina, dear. Tell me what happened?” "I had a fight with Alex, and I didn't know what to do." I sobbed. “A fight with Alex? But I think you guys are very good together. What's he doing?" Ellen asked. "He didn't do anything. It's all my fault, ” I said slowly. “ Now, now, Sabina. Just tell me what's going on. " Ellen responded in a very understanding tone. "I haven't told him, Mom. I haven't told Alex about my empathic powers yet. You're the only one who knows. " I said, gazing into the distance while sipping delicious soup.

My mother sighed and looked for the right words. After being silent for a while, she replied: “I see, it is an important thing to hide from your husband. Why didn't you tell him? "

"I love her, but I'm afraid she won't believe me if she finds out that I have the power to read and change her mind" I replied. “Well, would you do that to him? As in, manipulating his thoughts according to yours? ”, Ellen asked gently.

I knew there was no reason to lie to my mother. He was the one who knew me best, and the only person I told him about my secrets. But as painful as it was for me to tell the truth, the truth was even more painful for me. The fact is, that I have used my magical powers to deceive and manipulate Alex, to become the person I want to be. " Yes, I did it for him... " I answered in a weak and guilty voice.

Ellen nodded gently at me and let everything sink in. Finally, he replied, “Hmmm. I suspect too. It must be difficult to have such power and not use it for your own benefit. "

“Yes, very difficult. I'm happy with Alex, but I feel guilty knowing that I overstepped my limits... " I answered.

" I think it's best, if you have over what you're doing, and tell her everything" Ellen said in a reassuring voice.

"But what if he leaves me?" I said with a concerned voice.

"Are you going to be happier, if you end up marrying the man who became my father, Ma?" I asked.

I saw my mother's face change; I had reminded her of the guilt that had persisted for many years. I was a product of his short date in Egypt with Marvin Orchard, while he married John, my “ayah”, who never knew that he was sterile, he said, so that can't father every child. "I'm sorry, Ma. I shouldn't have brought it. " I bit my lip and said this calmly. “It's okay baby. You are an adult now. That's something I've thought about over and over again over the years. I'd be happier to end my marriage, but you need John to be your father. When you have your own child, you'll understand this, "Absolute Ellen. "Thank you, ma'am," I replied, and kissed Ellen's cheek gently.

We sat quietly for a while, hugged each other, slowly sipped the tea, and drank the soup. Finally, Ellen spoke, "So, what upset Alex today? What are you doing?"

“He was angry that I spent a lot of charity money at organizing a meeting with Pierre Beaumont, CEO of World Bank”, I replied.

" Is the money well spent?" Ellen asked in a curious voice.

“Well, y es and n o. Now I know that Pierre Beaumont is evil, and that I have to stop him and that's the World Bank. But it's caused that stir between Alex and me, so that way, not.” I declared in a calm and confident voice. “Good luck, super girl. Dealing with the World Bank is long overdue! ” Ellen said, wink at me, and smile at a mother ly way.

After this, we sat quietly for some time, hugged each other, and listened to soothing meditative music. Finally, I realized that I had to meet Alex and tell him about my strength. He is my dear husband, and I can't hold him in the dark anymore.
