Vanessa wasn't what you would call a "great mom" for starters.
Yes she loved her daughter but she was so much consumed by her desires to achieve fame and her hate for Rowen, she completely neglected her daughter but even till now, Tara never once gave up on the Faith that her mother will love her one day.
**
It was a sunny afternoon and making her way out was Vanessa, she was dressed in a casual jean and green shirt which matched the color of her eyes. Her curly brown hair was as beautiful as ever as her mother shouted at her angrily.
"Where do you think you are going now young lady?"
"I'm a married woman, mother. I don't need to tell you that!" And with that, she drove away in her black car.
Upon getting to her destination she parked her car as she made her way into the building which happened to be Graceland middle school for the elite.
A well known school made for the rich and wealthy.
Upon getting in, she was immediately greeted by the guards who showed her straight to her daughter's class.
Of course she need not even explain who she was since there was no one in Graceland who didn't know the 'famous great Actress'.
"Excuse me?" Vanessa called out to the teacher's name as the woman immediately recognized her.
But she still seemed confused on why the Great Vanessa was doing in her class.
"How may I help you?" Asked Teacher Lina.
"Sorry to interrupt but I would like to request a day off for one of your students."
"My students? Why?"
"Well.. I guess you can say I just want to spend a mother and daughter day with my daughter," she said with a grin as just then, Tara's little voice interrupted them both.
"M-mommy?"
Upon hearing the sweet and innocent voice of her daughter, Vanessa looked down to find Tara with her small uniform and cute doe eyes.
Immediately bending down to her daughter's height, she hugged her so tight she could hardly breathe.
"My baby, *sob* did you miss mommy?" She questioned as she caressed Tara gently. Something she had never down in her whole life.
Being under her mom's embrace, Tara was almost in tears. She was so happy that she wanted to cry.
Her mom hugged her, after so long. Not wanting to let the opportunity slide, she hugged Vanessa tightly as the two cried in each other's arms for a while.
Finally separating, Tara stood up as she carries her daughter in her arms.
"This is my daughter," she announced to Tara's teacher and her classmates.
Shocked, Lina looked at Tara to clarify this information and Tara nodded.
Who in their life would have ever thought that ''The great Vanessa" had a daughter.
Yes there was rumors of her having a child for Rowen but it was kater passed out as just baseless rumors.
Because Vanessa was too ashamed to let the world know of Tara, she made sure Tara was never seen it her or by any paparazzi, such making everything about girl seclusive all in the pretense of wanting to keep her safe.
But now, she wasn't just gonna let the whole of Graceland know of her daughter, she was gonna let the whole world know.
In this life, she was get to be the mother she never got to be in her last life.
***
After sorting things with Lina, Vanessa finally made her way out of the school with her daughter of course and they drove off straight to their first destination.
They had a whole list planned out, from the spa, to the park and then to a nice restaurant.
"We are gonna have lots of fun!" Tara said excitedly.
"That's right baby!"
**
Knock knock*
"Come in," Rowen said as he scanned through the papers in his arms.
Upon hearing the word of his boss, George then made his way forward, his face as expressionless as ever.
"Have you sent the driver to pick up Tara?"
"Yes sir, but the driver said that Tara has already been picked from school."
*Bam
"What!?" Rowen was surprised by his words, "What do you mean picked from school? If I didn't pick her, who did?"
Hesitating slightly, George then said, "She was taken by Mrs. Owen this morning."
"Vanessa?"
George nodded.
"Find out where she took Tara immediately!" He shouted as George nodded as he made his way out.

It was 2 in the afternoon and by that time, Vanessa and Tara were already done with the spa.
Excitedly Tara hugged her Mom slightly as Vanessa just stared into the happy face of her daughter.
Seeing how happy she was just warmed her heart, she didn't know why she was so stupid back then and abandoned her cute child.
Opening her eyes, Tara saw her mom staring at her and immediately moved away as her happy expression charged to a scared one.
"I-I-I'm sorry, I d-didn't mean t-t-to.."
"No,no,no,no... Tara don't get me wrong, I'm not upset with you hugging me.. in fact I even love and enjoy," Vanessa said with a smile as a sigh of relief left Tara's lips.
Guess she wasn't completely used to her mother's new loving and kind attitude towards her.
"So now where to?" Vanessa asked to shake away the weird and awkward moment.
"You said we were going to the park after spa time.." Tara got back to her fun and energetic attitude.
"Really? Alright! Park here we come!"
And with that, Vanessa carried Tara and they made their way to the car.
Unknown to them what lies ahead wasn't gonna be an happy experience.
