3182. Stepmothers

Stepmothers get a bad press, especially when they appear in fairy stories. It is often the case that a handsome prince is involved and the wicked stepmother goes all out to ruin everyone’s lives barring her own flesh and blood.

Today’s story intends to put things right. Berwyn was a kindly stepmother. She showered benevolence and love on not only her own daughter, Moxie, but on her step daughter, Arabella. Moxie was currently dating a humble drain layer, and Arabella was dating the local rich, handsome prince.

When Easter came, to show there was no favouritism, Berwyn bestowed both with piles of Easter eggs! Her kindness knew no bounds. Of course, she had a little secret…

Arabella couldn’t resist chocolate, even though she was allergic to it.
