All Chapters of My Son Called Her Mommy: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The moment I stepped off the plane, and without a care of how exhausted I was, I went straight to my son’s preschool, clutching a limited edition Iron Man action figure.It was something my husband, Jeremy Lynn, had promised our son but never followed through on. Hence, even though my business trip wasn’t technically over, I pushed through the pressure to come back early and surprise my son.It was the day before a big local fall festival, and the preschool was bustling with activity. My eyes scanned the crowd until I spotted him—my little boy, Daniel Lynn.He was dressed in an adorable bunny costume, nestled in the arms of a woman, whining in his sweet little voice, “Mom, I want a candy apple.”At that moment, a chill ran down my spine. That woman was none other than Jeremy’s college sweetheart—Shannon Sinclair!How could I not recognize her? Jeremy still had his college graduation album, where there was a special photo of him twirling Shannon around in her cap and gown. It was e

Before my hand could even reach the phone, Shannon slapped it away. "What do you think you're doing? Trying to call your accomplices, huh?" Her sharp voice cut through the air like a knife, stabbing painfully into my ears.The crowd around us jeered, their voices rising in a chorus of insults and accusations, crashing over me like waves. I hadn’t even fully processed what was happening when someone grabbed a rock from the ground and hurled it straight at me.Pain exploded in my cheek as the rock struck me, and I felt the warm trickle of blood slide down my face. I struggled to lift my head, using every ounce of strength I had left, and screamed, "Shannon Sinclair! I am Jeremy’s wife! I’m the mother of our son, Daniel!"Hearing her name, Shannon froze for a moment, then let out a shriek. She lifted her stiletto heel and kicked me square in the face. "Oh, really? You even know everything about us! This must be a part of some criminal ring! "Let’s do the right thing today! Stan

The police officers stepped out of their car, stunned by the scene in front of them.A female officer quickly grabbed a towel from the car and threw it over me, yelling, "What the hell are you doing? How could you beat someone up like this?"With red-rimmed eyes, Shannon spoke up, "Officer, this woman is a kidnapper. She just tried to take my son."The officer frowned, looking at me. "Name and ID."I lifted my head. "It's Elle Zieg–" I began, but everything went dark before I could finish. When I came to, I was lying in a hospital bed with three police officers standing around me."Awake?" a deep voice asked.I turned to see a stern-faced officer sitting by the bed, holding my ID in his hand, his sharp eyes trained on me."This is the hospital. You had surgery all night. Do you remember what happened?"When I didn’t respond, he added, "Also, you’ve been accused of child abduction by the public. We need your cooperation for the investigation."He held up a photo to my face. "

The police officer, clearly fed up, snapped his notebook shut with a loud clap."Alright, alright. If you're not a kidnapper, this is easier to handle. As for the assault and slander you mentioned, we'll open a case for investigation. We won't let anyone involved get away with this!"Shannon, however, kept defending herself."I've never even seen Elle! How was I supposed to know if she’s really Dan's mother? Was I wrong for being worried he was being kidnapped?"I glared at her and spoke through gritted teeth. "I told you I had proof. Did you give me a chance to show it? Did you ask Jeremy like I said you should? No! You knew full well you were not Dan's mother, yet you still told everyone you were. You were the one who accused me of being a kidnapper, and this is the consequence!"The officer sighed. "We'll verify all of this through surveillance footage and witness statements. For now, you should get some rest. We'll update you when we have results." As he shook his head and l

Jeremy seemed to calm down after hearing my words. “I’ll agree to the divorce,” he said slowly, “but I won’t leave with nothing.”He turned to look at me cunningly. “After your father died, I’ve been the one running the company. Do you really think it would be where it is today without me?”I couldn’t help but laugh. “Today? Are you seriously unaware of how your scandals have dragged the company through the mud? Ask the shareholders. Do you think any of them still want you as CEO?”Jeremy’s face stiffened. I’d hit a sore spot, and he couldn’t respond. I continued, “Do you really believe you held the company up all on your own? You have no idea how many people my father left behind to help you.”“And this is how you repay me?” I snapped.Before Jeremy could answer, the judge interrupted us, and the final ruling was given. We were officially divorced, and the assets were split according to our prenuptial agreement, which meant Jeremy would be walking away with nothing.As we le
