Catarina didn't know where her mother and father where or her annoying twin brother or older brother. "Mama are we bastard?" Sasha asked innocently. Catarina eyes narrowed. "Bastard who told you that?" Catarina asked she put the place down. "Mama! It was a woman named Alicia Greenwood!" Apollo's said Fairy was quiet she just nodded her head. "Yeah they said we are talentless idiots," Sasha blurted out. "Kids without a father humph we have Mama Angel!" Catarina eyes narrowed and became cold and indifferent before she smiled.
Catarina's eyes sparkled with warmth as she looked at her triplets.
"You're my beautiful, talented children, and no one can ever take that away from you," she said, her voice filled with conviction. She knelt down, hugging them tightly.
"And remember, you have me, Mama Angel, and I'll always be here to protect and love you."
Catarina's expression turned cold and hard as she thought about Alicia Greenwood's words. Who was this woman, and why was she spreading such hurtful lies about her children? Catarina's mind began to spin with possibilities, her thoughts racing with a desire to protect her triplets.
"Don't ever listen to what others say about you," Catarina said, her voice firm but gentle.
"You are my children, and I know how special and talented you are. Remember that, no matter what anyone else says."
The triplets nodded, their eyes wide with understanding. Fairy, who had been quiet until now, spoke up.
"Mama, who is our father?" she asked, her voice curious.
Catarina's expression faltered for a moment, and she hesitated before answering.
"I...I don't know, sweetie," she said, her voice soft. "But that doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm here for you, and I'll always be here to take care of you."
The triplets nodded, seeming to accept her answer. But Catarina knew that this wasn't the end of the conversation. She would have to tell them more about their father eventually, but for now, she just wanted to protect them from the hurt and uncertainty that came with the truth.
Catarina's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her stomach growling. She smiled, realizing that she had forgotten to eat. "Let's get some food, shall we?" she said, standing up and gesturing to the kitchen.
The triplets cheered, following her to the kitchen. Catarina began to prepare a simple meal, her mind still reeling with thoughts of Alicia Greenwood and her hurtful words.
As they sat down to eat, Catarina asked her triplets about their day. They chattered excitedly about their lessons and playtime, and Catarina listened attentively, smiling at their antics.
But despite the warmth and laughter, Catarina couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in her stomach. She knew that she had to do something about Alicia Greenwood's words, to protect her triplets from the hurt and negativity that they had brought.
As they finished their meal and began to clear the table, Catarina made a mental note to investigate Alicia Greenwood further. She would not let anyone hurt her children, not without a fight.
The triplets, sensing her tension, looked up at her with concerned expressions.
"Mama, is everything okay?" Fairy asked, her voice soft.
Catarina forced a smile, not wanting to worry them.
"Everything's fine, sweetie," she said, hugging them tightly. "Just a little tired, that's all."
But as she looked into their eyes, she knew that she couldn't keep the truth from them forever. She would have to tell them about their father, and about the secrets that she had kept hidden for so long. The question was, when?
Catarina decided to go the the Red Phoenix Elementary when she dropped her kids off Fairu tagged on her mama hand and pointed at the chubby woman. Catarina walked over her eyes became as cold as ice.
"Mrs. Greenwood, your son insulted my kids yesterday tell your son to apologize," Catarina said. Alicia chuckled and looked at Catarina.
"You are their sister?" Alicia asked.
"No I am their mother."
"My goodness how old are you fifteen? What kind of whore are you?" Alicia said with a cruel laugh and Catarina saw her kids walking to the school and the next moment she slapped Alicia across the face.
Catarina's eyes blazed with fury as she slapped Alicia across the face.
"How dare you!" she spat, her voice low and menacing.
"You will not insult me or my children again." Alicia stumbled back, her hand flying to her cheek, as Catarina turned and walked away, her head held high.
Catarina's heart was racing with anger as she walked back to her car. She couldn't believe the nerve of that woman, Alicia Greenwood. Who did she think she was, insulting her and her children like that? Catarina's mind was spinning with thoughts of revenge, but she knew she had to calm down and think clearly.
As she got into her car, she took a deep breath and tried to compose herself. She couldn't let Alicia's words get to her. She was a mother, and she had to protect her children from people like Alicia.
Just as she was about to start the car, her phone rang. It was the school.
"Miss. Catarina, we need to speak with you about an incident that just occurred," the voice on the other end said.
Catarina's heart sank. What now?
"What happened?" she asked, trying to keep her voice calm.
"It's about your altercation with Mrs. Greenwood," the voice replied.
"We need to discuss the matter further with you."
Catarina sighed. This was not what she needed right now. But she knew she had to face the consequences of her actions. She agreed to meet with the school administrators and hung up the phone.
As she drove to the school, she couldn't help but think about Alicia Greenwood and her son. She was going to make sure that they apologized to her children, no matter what it took.
Catarina arrived at the school and was greeted by the principal, who looked stern. "Miss. Catarina, we need to discuss the incident with Mrs. Greenwood. Physical violence is not acceptable behavior, even in response to provocation." Catarina nodded, knowing she was in trouble.
"Miss. Catarina you will apologize to Mrs. Greenwood," Mrs. Thompson said and Catarina rolled her eyes.
Catarina's eyes locked onto the principal's, her voice firm.
"I will not apologize for defending my children. Mrs. Greenwood's words were unacceptable and hurtful." She crossed her arms, her expression unyielding.
The principal's expression turned stern, her voice firm.
"I understand that you feel strongly about this, Miss Catarina, but that's no excuse for physical violence. You need to learn to control your temper and handle situations like this in a more constructive way. Apologizing to Mrs. Greenwood is the first step in resolving this situation."
Catarina's eyes flashed with anger, but she kept her voice even.
"I will not apologize for standing up for my children. If Mrs. Greenwood had kept her mouth shut, this wouldn't have happened. She's the one who should be apologizing."
The principal sighed, her expression unyielding.
"I'm afraid that's not an option, Miss Catarina. You will apologize to Mrs. Greenwood, or I'll have to take further action. Do I make myself clear?"
Catarina's jaw clenched, her eyes narrowing. She knew she was in trouble, but she refused to back down.
"You're not going to intimidate me into apologizing for something I don't regret," she said, her voice firm.
