Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283: Talk with Mother

"Now you are here, and we are finally meeting, let’s not waste our time discussing unimportant matters and forcing ourselves to get emotional for no reason," Caryn said, "Instead, let’s talk about why you are here and what we have to do to stop the people who have already messed up our lives this way. I am sure you agree with it as well."

Natalie nodded, as she preferred it this way as well. She wanted to know what caused her mother to hide and fake her own death and also the people who are after both of them. She was sure to teach them a lesson as they were the reason for all the struggle she had faced and all the pain she went through for so many years.

"You must have heard about Belvorn and the royal family there," Caryn asked to which Natalie hummed.

"I am the daughter of the Queen of Belvorn and you are her granddaughter," Caryn Began, "My real name is Carmen Everthorn, I was supposed to be the current princess and the next queen of the Belvorn and after me, you would have taken that place."

Obviously, Natalie was shocked to hear it, but she maintained her calm to know further how her mother ended up here.

Caryn began to explain, "Belvorn has been following the tradition of having a queen who is the sole ruler of that country. This rule has been followed for so many centuries but some greedy and power-hungry men want to change it to gain power in their hands. One of those hungry men is my own uncle, my mother’s younger brother. As a result of his attempts of trying to kill me, I had to be away from my family since I was a kid and lived in hiding while my mother is still not aware that her only daughter is still alive.

"My uncle stayed quiet for long even though he was sure he failed to kill me, as he had no daughter to let her take my mother’s place, and for so many years it was peaceful where they continued to live their life in Belvorn while I continued to live my life away from them. But this changed after my uncle’s son bore a daughter, and he thought his granddaughter should be the next queen.

"But then he was scared of me once more and came after me again. Most precisely after I had a daughter as well, he wanted both of us dead.

Caryn voice turned more resolute. "It’s time to make him regret everything he did and take everything back," Caryn declared. "And you are the one to do it. I am sure of all the hardship you have gone through; you don’t hate it but appreciate it as the events of turning you stronger to stand against evil."

Natalie hummed, as both mother and daughter’s gazes turned determined.

Natalie thought only she was the one to live a pathetic life since she was young, but her mother seemed to have gone through even worse. They tried to kill her when she was already at the brink of dying. She had to make sure to get even with them.

Natalie had so many questions about how her mother survived and ended up in the orphanage and how her life turned after that, but she would wait for her mother to tell her everything once she takes care of the enemies.

Caryn continued, "The queen is fond of perfumes. Every year she invites the best perfumers all around the world during the yearly festive season celebration of Belvorn. I am sure you would be invited as well. That is the chance for you to enter Belvorn and meet the queen."

Hearing the perfume making thing, Natalie looked at her mother for a while to which Caryn spoke, "Fondness to beautiful scents run in our blood. No wonder you are a good perfumer as well."

Natalie could not refute the claim.

"There is a box placed on the table, that is for you," Caryn said, signalling towards one small wooden box.

Natalie stood up and picked up the box. She opened it, only to find a small perfume bottle inside it.
