😲 The driver of my taxi turned out to be my mother’s ex-boyfriend: he revealed a truth I wasn’t ready for.
That morning, I was late for an important meeting. Stressed, I ordered a taxi. The driver, a man in his sixties, greeted me politely. Nothing strange, except for the intense look he kept giving me through the rearview mirror.
A shiver ran down my spine. I was sure I had never seen him before. A few minutes later, he broke the silence.
— “Is your mother’s name Alice Wilson?”
Surprised, I answered yes, without fully understanding.
Then he told me he had been my mother’s boyfriend back in college. He said he recognized me because of my striking resemblance to her. They had been together for several years, at a time when, according to him, everything still seemed possible.
But suddenly, his expression changed. His eyes darkened, as if a painful memory had overwhelmed him. He fell silent.
Curious, I began asking him questions. He hesitated before answering, but eventually he revealed a truth I was absolutely not prepared for.
What he told me left me speechless. I froze, unable to utter a single word…
The rest of this story is in the article in the first comment 👇👇👇.
My mother had stolen an old, valuable watch from him, inherited from his father.
He lost it shortly after they met.
But at the time, blinded by love, he refused to believe my mother could have done such a thing.
Despite his doubts, they kept dating.
She was brilliant, funny, elusive, and he adored her — but little by little, something changed.
She became distant, avoided personal conversations, disappeared for days without explanation.
He said she had a strange ability to make him believe she was somewhere else, even when she was right next to him.
Then, one day, she vanished.
At the same time, he realized all his savings had disappeared.
She had access to his accounts.
Later, he learned through a mutual friend that she had left with another man.
An older guy, wealthy, married at the time.
— “It took me years to get over it,” he concluded.
“And seeing you… it’s like seeing a ghost.”
I was speechless.
Who was my mother really, and what else did I still not know?
