A Mother's Embrace

Damien's hand hardly touched the car's door handle when Amelia stopped him, her hand placed on top of his. He understood what she meant but everything just didn't make sense to him at the moment. He felt like he had just received a huge blow when she told him that his uncle might have something to do with his father's death. He didn't even consider that possibility.

He and his uncle clearly had issues with each other, but he never thought that Uncle Frederick could do such a thing… could he? But how?

Damien was fourteen when his father died but he could still remember how it was. All his life—ever since that day, he had carried the burden that it was because of him. That he was the reason why he lost his father from that car crash. And now all of sudden… He was so confused. It was as though his mind didn't want to process what Amelia told him. It was as if his brain wanted to reject it.
