14 years older

Isabella (FL)
Isabella (FL)
Surprise me with what, Mom?
I looked directly into her eyes. She sighed heavily,
Kathrin(FL
Kathrin(FL's mom)
I am sorry, I know right now you can’t accept Ezekiel as your dad.
Kathrin(FL
Kathrin(FL's mom)
And you know he has his own business, besides being the heir of a famous university here. He is too perfect for me.
I Was speechless, hearing my mom. She was totally engrossed in this man. It was as if she had completely moved on from everything else.
Isabella (FL)
Isabella (FL)
Mom, what is his age? 😑
I asked, the question burning inside me. Ezekiel seemed younger than my mom, and I needed to know. Mom bit her lower lip, hesitating for a moment before she sighed deeply and spoke.
Kathrin(FL
Kathrin(FL's mom)
He is 25 years old.
Isabella (FL)
Isabella (FL)
You are fucking 14 years older than him. How could you do that, Mom? Do you think he will stay with you?
I exploded, unable to contain my fury. The age difference was staggering, and I couldn’t fathom how she believed it would work.
Isabella (FL)
Isabella (FL)
He is literally five years older than me.
Kathrin(FL
Kathrin(FL's mom)
Not 5 years, Isabella
Mom corrected me.
Kathrin(FL
Kathrin(FL's mom)
It’ is 6 years
I arched my brows and replied with even more annoyance,
Isabella (FL)
Isabella (FL)
This month I am going to be 20. So yeah, it’s 5. How can you date a boy so young, Mom?
Kathrin(FL
Kathrin(FL's mom)
Isabella!
Mom raised her voice, clearly feeling a bit offended. I averted my gaze, unable to look at her. I wasn’t one of those typical girls who couldn’t accept their mom dating someone. I had no problem with her finding happiness again. But the problem was the absurdity of her dating someone 14 years younger. It just didn’t make sense to me.
Kathrin(FL
Kathrin(FL's mom)
I didn’t think that you would talk like a typical girl
Mom said, a hint of disappointment in her voice. 😒 I arched my brows slightly, feeling the sting of her words. Before I could respond, we heard a knock on the door. Mom quickly regained her composure, but I couldn’t. I wasn’t as good an actress as she was. Ezekiel cracked the door open. I shot him an angry look.
Kathrin(FL
Kathrin(FL's mom)
Darling, why are you knocking?
Mom said as she walked over to him, wrapping her arms around his neck. Ezekiel looked at me with a smile, but his eyes told me he understood that Mom had scolded me. I rolled my eyes, turning away from them.
Ezekiel (ML)

Kathrin
He said gently,
Ezekiel (ML)
Ezekiel (ML)
I thought it would be good if I knocked. She’s your daughter, after all. You would have some personal talks with her.
Kathrin(FL
Kathrin(FL's mom)
What?
Mom chuckled.
Kathrin(FL
Kathrin(FL's mom)
We are family. So, there is nothing that I should tell her privately
The way she said it made my skin crawl. Was this what she considered family now? A man almost my age playing the role of a father figure? Mom hugged him, and I watched them closely. Ezekiel looked at me, a hesitant smile playing on his lips as he patted Mom’s back. The sight of their lovey-dovey display made my teeth grit in annoyance.
Isabella (FL)
Isabella (FL)
At least he has some sense of manners, not like you 😡
I snapped, unable to hold back. With that, I turned and walked out of the room. I could hear Mom calling my name, her voice filled with frustration and concern, but I didn’t respond. I needed to get away to clear my head from the overwhelming emotions.
Kathrin(FL
Kathrin(FL's mom)
Isabella! 😡
She called after me, her voice echoing down the hallway. I kept walking, not looking back. I needed space to process everything.
