The Mother I Left Behind

Summary

My mother was the president of a listed corporation, she was both rich and powerful. More importantly, she loved me more than anything in the world.

Meanwhile, my father was a man who cheated on her. When he found out his mistress was pregnant with a girl, he beat her until she miscarried and ended up in prison.

So when the judge publicly asked me to choose between my mother and my father, everyone assumed the custody battle was just a formality.

That was until I walked past my mother's trembling, outstretched hand and firmly chose my father instead.
