The Viper's POV
I sat at the mansion with my mom beside me. She held my gaze for a while but remained completely silent.
"Is there a problem, Mom?" I asked in curiosity, she was always one to talk.
"I know what you're doing, my boy. I may be old but I'm not dumb."
My heart dropped at her statement. I've done everything possible to make sure she never finds out about how I would want to tear the Redlands down to nothing.
"What do you know, Mom?"
"Everything, I used to be a mole, you know. I was sent into various groups and I got the information I needed. How do you think your father met me?"
"Now that you know, what would you do?"
"Back you up. That man ruined my life. I have everything up for him but he still chose his family over me. Didn't even spare me a glance again, used me like some cheap whore!" Pain resonated from her voice and I could feel a fraction of her pain.
