New Plans!

"Abigail" she called me when i turned to the other side of carriage, so that she would not be disturbed,

"Yes, step mother." I replied as the words I have used all my life to call her, sounded so awkward.

"This is for you." she passed me a beautiful bracelet, i had often seen in her hands. If i was not wrong, it was one of her prized possessions, she adored.

I looked at her with confusion as to why she was giving it to me.

"I have promised the ring to you. But Bella took it. So, this is for you as an apology." she explained when i did not initiate to take it.

"You don't need to do that. Bella is right, the ring was free with her gift, so it belonged to her too." she gritted her teeth. She must have been regretting her lie but was too proud to accept it.
