Carlotta saw her mother sitting alone at a round table for VIP guests. His stepfather was talking to a famous actor. Without Carlotta noticing, his feet stepped closer to Caterina Benito.

"Mama." Carlotta say hello. It feels so weird. Carlotta had not spoken that greeting for eighteen years. He swore that he could not remember his mother's face. However, tonight, his mother is here with him. It all feels unreal.

"Carlotta..." Caterina immediately stood up when she realized her daughter was approaching. He immediately pulled out a chair and helped Carlotta sit down. "Do you need anything? Drinks, maybe?"

Carlotta shook her head slowly. "How are you, Mama?"

Caterina immediately cried. "Good, fine. Mama is fine. How're you? Pregnancy healthy?"

Carlotta was about to nod, but decided to shake her head in the end. "Much has happened to me. I miss Mama..."

Caterina hugged her daughter tightly. "I'm sorry Mama... Forgive Mama, Son... You know for yourself how your father. He threatened Mama, if Mama dared to approach you, he threatened to harm you..." Caterina sobbing. "Mama regretted not taking you away that day. But, Mama was scared. Your father was a powerful man, once. Mama has nothing for you..."

Carlotta nodded in her seat. His mother's words jolted his soul. Then he thought, it all makes sense. In the past, his father also threatened him, if he did not expel Alessandro, his father would kill Alessandro. Carlotta never thought her father would do the same to her mother.

"Papa's really outrageous..." Carlotta.

Mother nodded. "I wanted to see you guys sooner, but I was always scared. I'm afraid you're fucked."

Carlotta clasped his mother's hand. "I thought Mama had forgotten us."

Caterina sobbed getting louder. "Where might I forget, Carlotta? You and your two sisters are precious daughters of Mama. I even just gave birth to Carina when I decided to run away."

Carlotta pressed her grip on her mother's hand. "Why did you decide to leave?"

Caterina wiped her tears. Then, he sighed. "You know for yourself your father likes to hit. You get hit a lot. But he hit me more often. I was beaten while pregnant, Carlotta. He just wants my kids, but he doesn't love me. I know if I stay, then someday I'll die at his hands."

Carlotta gasps. "Oh, Mama..."

Caterina smiled at Carlotta. His eyes are still glazed. "I know I'm too cowardly. I won't blame you if you hate me. But, please remember that I love you guys so much, dear."

Carlotta looked at her mother. Her tears flowed slowly. "I think I can understand Mama's feelings. There's no way Mama hates us, right? Just like I can't possibly hate my son."

Caterina wiped her tears. Now, his eyes sparkled happily. "Is your baby a boy?"

Carlotta nodded. "Alessandro said so."

Caterina smiled gently. "You're married to a good man, Carlotta. You're really lucky. He loves you so much."

Carlotta smiled weakly. 'But he won't believe me, Mama.' he thought sadly. But he didn't say it. She didn't want her mother to worry about her.

Caterina said enthusiastically. "You know, he went to New York and came to our house. He gave us your wedding invitations. He assured us that your father had been dealt with and would not bother me. So, I feel safe to come. If it wasn't for him, maybe I'd still be too scared to see you guys, honey."

Carlotta widened her eyes. "Alessandro did that?"

Caterina frowning. "You don't know?"

"Oh, Oh my God. Why are you mad at a man as good as him? I hope you're okay now?"

Carlotta laughed amusedly. "Mama, is Mama's son Alessandro or me?"

Caterina laughed. "You're both Mama's kids now."

Carlotta took her sisters to her mother's desk. At first, they refused. They didn't recognize her mother all this time. To them, their mother was Carlotta. Carlotta took care of them from infancy, protected them, and worked hard for them. They feel they don't need a mother figure. Carlotta is enough.

However, Carlotta assures the two that her mother has her own reasons for deciding to leave. And Carlotta also convinced her sisters that their mother loved them. There are no mothers who do not love their children.

When Ciara and Carina finally want to meet the mother, Carlotta walked over to Signor Benito.

"Carlotta!" Signor Benito soon leaves his interlocutor, another film producer, when he sees Carlotta coming.

"Signor Benito." Carlotta smiled kindly. "Is your night fun?"

Signor Benito nodded quickly. "The party was so good. What about you, Carlotta? Are you happy?"

Carlotta nodded. "Yes. I'm glad you came with my mom here, Signor. That means a lot to me."

Signor Benito waved his hand in the air. "Ah. It's nothing. Besides, we miss our hometown."

Carlotta smiled and nodded. "If it's not disturbing, may I have a quick chat with you, Signor?"

Signor Benito smiled warmly at Carlotta. The man was not as handsome and brave as his father. Her hair is bald on the back of her head. His body was thick with a slightly distended stomach. However, there was kindness and sincerity in the eyes of the man. Carlotta finally understood why her mother chose to run away with this man.

Carlotta took Signor Benito to one of the tables.

"I want to thank you for all the opportunities you've given me, Signor. Without you, there's no way I'd be an actress and achieve my own success." Carlotta.

Signor Benito nodded and smiled. "No need to thank you, Carlotta. That's all I can do as redemption has taken your mother away from you. And I guess that's not enough."

Carlotta nodded and smiled. "You've done everything you can to support me and my brothers, Signor. Though, you have no responsibility for us."

Signor Benito smiled warmly. "You are the daughters of the woman I love. I've considered you my own daughters."

Carlotta clasped his stepfather's hand. "Thank you for loving my mom. Thank you for making her happy."

Signor Benito nodded. "But you need to know this. Her happiness would not be complete without her children. You have to live happily too to make her happy."

Carlotta's eyes glazed over. "Of course."

Signor Benito smiled. "I will pray for the happiness of your household, Carlotta. You and Alessandro, as well as your sisters, will always be welcome in our home. Come to New York sometime."

Carlotta nodded. "Mama said, Alessandro visited your house and gave an invitation to this party, huh?"

Signor Benito nodded. "Yes. He did that for you. She doesn't want your happy day to be incomplete without your mother."

Tears dripped down Carlotta's cheeks. Oh God. Suddenly she missed her husband. Apparently, the man really did a lot for her. Didn't Alessandro lie when he said he loved Carlotta?
