The Fake Mother's Parental Revenge

Start Reading

I had just sat down at the parent-teacher conference for my colleague when a hand suddenly grabbed my hair and yanked my head back. Three sharp slaps landed on my face before I could even blink.

You home-wrecking bitch! You've got some nerve showing up here after sleeping with my husband!

I'm going to tear that plastic face of yours apart!

My vision blurred from the impact. A few other parents tried to step in, but someone quickly blocked them.

"Stay out of this. That's the principal's wife catching a mistress. Don't get involved!"

"She dared to come to this meeting today? She's lucky she's only getting slapped!"

The woman gripped my hair tighter, slamming my forehead against the doorframe. I gritted my teeth against the blinding pain and tried to explain.

"You have the wrong person! I'm just here for a friend!"

Just as the woman hesitated, the principal walked over.

"Oh, Jade... that's not what you said when you were crawling into my bed last night!"

Watching the judgmental glares from the crowd, I suddenly stopped struggling.

So, you want to frame me?

I let out a cold laugh and scooped the little boy up by his collar.

"Fine. Since you all insist I'm his mother, I might as well start fulfilling my parental duties!"

"So, you're the slut who's been texting my husband?"

Before I could even turn around, a searing pain shot through the back of my head.

A hand gripped my hair like a vice, dragging me and my chair backward with a violent force.

I crashed onto the floor. Before I could recover, a barrage of slaps rained down on my face.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

My cheeks swelled instantly, burning like they were on fire.

The other parents in the room jumped in shock. Some tried to stand up to help, but they were pulled back by others.

"Don't be a hero! That's the principal's wife taking out the trash! Why would you get in the middle of that?"

"This woman is a home-wrecker. She deserves whatever is coming to her!"

The classroom went dead silent. Those who wanted to help slunk back into their seats.

I used every ounce of my strength to push the crazy woman off me. I clutched my face and screamed.

"Are you insane? I am not who you think I am!"

The principal's wife sneered and shoved her phone in my face.

The screen was filled with screenshots of a chat. The messages were so graphic and filthy they were hard to look at.

"Now you want to play innocent?"

"You've been calling him 'daddy' and asking for nudes every day on WhatsApp. I can smell the desperation on you from a mile away. Stop acting like you have morals, you little whore."

I swallowed the pain and yelled to the crowd.

"I'm just here for a coworker! Her name is Jade Vance!"

"If you don't believe me, I'll call her right now and prove it!"

I pulled out my phone and dialed Jade's number.

The ringing went on forever. Every second felt like an eternity.

After twenty seconds, the call was abruptly declined.

My heart sank. I tried again, but the automated voice told me the phone had been turned off.

Jade did this on purpose.

She knew the principal's wife was coming for blood today. She sent me here to take the hits for her!

As I stood there staring at my phone, a woman with permed hair stepped out from the crowd.

"Stop pretending. I've seen you several times! You're always dressed like a stripper at the school gate, batting your eyes at the principal."

"You're the one who usually picks up the kid, aren't you? Now that you're caught, you're trying to throw your coworker under the bus? You're not just a slut, you're a snake!"

The other parents started shouting in agreement. The insults became nastier by the second.

I felt like I couldn't breathe.

My daughter's preschool is right around the corner. Jade always complained about being too busy, begging me to pick up her son on my way back to the office.

I was just trying to be a good friend, and now my kindness was being used as proof that I was a mistress!

Seeing my silence, the principal's wife grew even more aggressive.

"Cat got your tongue? Caught red-handed, aren't you?"

"Today, I'm going to strip you naked and throw you out onto the street. I want the whole school to see what a pathetic little bitch you are!"

She lunged at me again, her claws aimed for my face.

Right then, a middle-aged man walked into the classroom.

It was the principal of the preschool, Arthur Miller.

I looked at him like he was a lifesaver and screamed.

"Principal Miller, tell them! Tell them we have nothing to do with each other!"

Arthur looked at his furious wife, then at my disheveled state.

Suddenly, he put on a look of fake heartbreak and disgust.

"Jade, it's over. There's no point in lying anymore."

"That's not how you acted when you stripped down and begged me to touch you the other night."

Boom.

My brain felt like it exploded. All the blood in my body rushed to my head.

This old bastard was throwing me to the wolves just to save his own skin!

Before I could react, a small figure darted out from the crowd.

Jade's son, Leo, ran over and grabbed my leg.

"Mommy! Don't leave!"

"You said you were going to take me to a big mansion and get me a new daddy yesterday!"

The brat started crying hysterically, wiping snot on my pants. He held on so tight I couldn't shake him off.

The principal's wife laughed bitterly, pointing a finger at me.

"Did you hear that? Even the kid is calling you mommy! You still want to claim you're not his mother? You're a monster for denying your own child!"

As she prepared to strike again, I stopped fighting. I actually started laughing.

You want to frame me together? Fine.

I reached down and grabbed the brat by his collar, lifting him into the air like a wet kitten.

This kid was a nightmare. He constantly bullied my daughter in the car.

Now that I held him up, he started screaming and kicking his legs in panic.

"Fine," I said, my voice turning cold as I scanned the faces of the crowd.

"Since you all are so sure I'm his mother..."

"Then I'll start doing exactly what a mother should do!"

"Slap!"

I swung my arm with everything I had and delivered a massive blow to the kid's face.

Everyone froze.

The brat was stunned. He forgot to cry and just stared at me, clutching his cheek.

"Why are you such a little liar?"

"Slap!"

Another one.

"Is this how I raised you? To tell lies at school?"

"Slap!"

"To bully the girls in the car? To be a little piece of trash?"

I went back and forth, landing a dozen slaps in a row.

This little brat used to pull my daughter's hair and steal her snacks. Jade never did anything about it. Well, I was going to handle it today!

The kid let out a scream like a dying pig. Blood started dripping from his nose, and two of his front teeth were loose.

He struggled, trying to run toward Arthur.

I gripped his collar even tighter and hauled him back for more.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"You called me mommy, didn't you? Today, I'm going to beat the lying spirit out of you!"

The parents were speechless. No one had ever seen a mother beat her child so ruthlessly.

The principal's wife stood there, her phone still recording, completely paralyzed.

"Stop! Stop it right now!"

Arthur was the first to snap out of it. He grabbed my arm.

"Are you crazy? He's your own flesh and blood! Are you trying to kill him?"

"Child abuse is a crime! Let him go!"

I shoved Arthur's hand away and sneered.

"Principal, why are you so worked up?"

"I'm disciplining my son. What does that have to do with you?"

"You're so nervous... is this little bastard actually yours?"

Arthur's face went pale. He began to fidget visibly.

"What kind of nonsense is that!"

"Security! Get this crazy woman out of here! If you stay here and harass me, I'm calling the police!"

He signaled the guards, desperate to get rid of me.

Scared I'll talk? Want me gone?

Not a chance.

I pinched my own thigh hard until my eyes filled with tears.

"Oh, so now I'm a nuisance?"

"You're in such a hurry to kick me out because you're afraid I'll tell everyone what you said in bed!"

Arthur looked horrified. He reached out to cover my mouth.

"Shut up! Security!"

I dodged him easily and turned straight to his wife.

"Do you really think he loves you?"

"He told me in bed that the only reason he married you was for your family's money and connections!"

"He even called you a barren hen who couldn't hatch an egg!"

The wife's face turned a deep, angry purple. She was shaking.

"You're lying!"

Arthur was jumping up and down, his voice cracking.

I dragged the bleeding kid in front of the wife.

"I'm lying? Why don't you ask him whose kid this really is?"

"This is the biological son he went through so much trouble to have!"

"He promised me that as soon as the kid started elementary school, he'd divorce that barren hen and marry me in a lavish wedding!"

The room fell into a heavy silence.

Everyone's eyes darted between Arthur and the kid.

Honestly, the brat's nose and eyes did look a lot like the principal's.

I turned to Arthur, crying like my heart was breaking.

"Now that you're caught, you're going to disown our son just to keep your job?"

"You heartless bastard!"

The principal's wife finally snapped.

She had spent years and a fortune seeking fertility treatments. It was her deepest wound.

To have it ripped open in public, and to be told there was a secret love child, was the final straw.

"Arthur Miller! You ungrateful dog!"

The wife turned her fury toward her husband.

She lunged at him, grabbing whatever was left of his thinning hair and pulling with all her might.

"My family gave you the money to start this school, and you were raising a bastard behind my back?"

"You called me a barren hen? I'll kill you!"

Arthur screamed in pain, trying to protect his scalp.

"Honey, let me explain! This woman is trying to turn us against each other!"

"Explain my ass! I'm not blind! The kid has your exact nose!"

She didn't listen. The two of them were soon rolling on the floor, clawing at each other.

The kid was wailing. The other parents backed away to avoid the crossfire.

Arthur clutched his bleeding face and roared at me.

"You're making this up! I don't even know you! I never had a son with you!"

I laughed and pointed a finger at him.

"I'm making it up? Then prove it!"

"Prove he's not yours! Do you have the balls to take a DNA test right now?"

Arthur choked on his words. His face was bright red.

The wife saw his hesitation and her rage flared even higher. She went back to scratching his face.

I took the chance to turn to the wife, wiping away fake tears.

"Look, now that everything is out in the open and everyone knows I'm the mistress..."

"There's no way we can stay at this school anymore!"

I grabbed the kid by the arm.

"We're leaving! But I want every cent of this semester's tuition and meal fees refunded right now!"

The wife just wanted me gone.

"You heard her! Go to the office and get her the money! Get that bastard out of my sight!"

Arthur scrambled out of the room and returned with an envelope, looking defeated.

I snatched it and stuffed several thousand dollars into my bag.

"Whatever. This kid isn't exactly a scholar anyway. All he does is lie and bully people."

"I'm taking him back to my hometown tonight. We're packing and leaving."

"His uncle runs a sketchy business down by the border in Mexico. He loves kids like this. They're very useful for 'deliveries'."

As soon as I said that, a scream erupted from outside the crowd.

"No!"

A woman shoved her way through the parents like a maniac.

It was Jade Vance, who had been hiding and watching the drama the whole time!

"Let go of my son! You crazy bitch!"

Jade's eyes were bloodshot with panic.

"Not only are you a child abuser, you're a kidnapper!"

"Did everyone hear that? She's going to sell him to a cartel!"

"I'm calling the police! I'm going to have you locked up!"

Looking at her desperate face, I burst out laughing.

"And who exactly are you?"

"What I do with my son is none of your business."

Jade froze. If she admitted the kid was hers, she was admitting she was the principal's mistress.

If she kept quiet, I was going to walk out the door with her son!

The principal's wife stopped fighting and looked at her suspiciously.

Jade looked at her bleeding son and couldn't keep up the act anymore.

She stomped her foot and started howling.

"I'm his mother! You're the fraud! Let him go!"

The crowd gasped.

I didn't panic. I knelt down and waved the envelope of cash in front of the kid's eyes.

"Hey, buddy. Don't be scared."

"If you come with me today, I'll buy you a brand new PS5 and every single action figure you want."

The kid stopped crying instantly. He stared at the money.

I stood up and pointed at Jade, then looked at the kid.

"Tell everyone loud and clear. Who is your mother?"

Jade was frantic, slapping her own thighs.

"Leo! Tell them! I'm your mommy!"

Leo looked at Jade, then looked at me.

Without a second of hesitation, he pointed his chubby little finger straight at me.

"She's my mommy!"
