A Sports Car for Mom’s Birthday and an Unmasking of ParasitesChapter 1
The night after my mom’s birthday, I overheard a conversation that made my skin crawl.
The nanny was grumbling to my boyfriend, her voice laced with irritation, “Today is my birthday, but she only gave her mother a gift and not me. When you two get married, you can’t let her keep spending money on her family like this.”
The driver jumped in, just as annoyed. “Exactly! Why does an old lady need a sports car? She should’ve given it to me! Son, you’d better get her pregnant soon. That way, she won’t have time to waste on things like this.”
Son?
A cold chill ran down my spine. My boyfriend always told me he had no parents, that he saw my mom as his own. So why were they talking to him like that?
The next morning, I checked the security footage, still feeling uneasy. That was when I saw it; him swapping out my vitamins for folic acid.

My mom loves fast cars, so for her birthday, I got her a customized sports car. I knew she would be thrilled.
