After Calvin was removed, the guests all turned to Kai and I. I knew they were riddled with questions; I would do my best to answer. The reporter came back to the front,

i“/iMs. iTeagues/i!! iFirst/ii…/iilet /ime isay/i…. iI /iam so isorry, /iiit /iseems ilike /iiyou /iihave /iitruly /iibeen /iithrew /iian /iordeali! /iI can’t iimagine /iiwhat /iiyour /iilife /iiwas like /iiliving /iiwith /isuch a ideceitful /iifamily/i.i” /i

Tears began to water in my eyes, he had no idea, it cost me my life in my previous life.

i“/iiPlease/ii, /iitell /iius/i…iexactly what /iiwas /iithe /iitruth /iiregarding /iiyour /iiadoptive /imotheri? /iiHow /iidid /iishe /iifind /iiyou/ii?/ibi” /i/b

Kai took my hand gently into his. Smiling back at me…he looked at me as if I was the most beautiful person in the world. With a nod to show his support, I smiled warmly at him. Turning back to the

crowd, I took in a deep breath and answered the reporter’s questions.

I told the crowd the harrowing story about how Sharon ordered my death all because she didn’t want to give up her position as a Rochester. I told them about my would–be possible father Bernard Thorton, and how I ended up with Diana Teagues. The entire ballroom was in tears. I told them how

beautiful my life was with my adoptive mother, and dreadful it became once I was reunited with the

Rochesters.

“How icould /iia /iimother /iido /iithat /ito iher /iiown /iichild/ii./ii” /i

“iI /iican’t /iibelieve /iithat /iifamily /iiwas /iso idisgraceful/ii./i”

“iThank /igod ifor /iiDiana /iiTeagues/i…ishe /iiwas /ia isaint/ii!/ii” /i

That was the best part…my mother’s name had finally been vindicated! Finally, the world would

know how amazing she was, no longer would her name be stained with shame and lies.

I closed my eyes for a brief moment, thanking my mother to myself for always loving me; when a question from the crowd jilted me back.

i“/iiSo /iiwhat /iinow/ii!!/ii” /i

Before bI /bcould answer, Kai, along with everyone else from the Christiansen n as well as Tyler, Cameron & Jackie, and Joellie walked to the stage. Each of us grabbing hands; the people I had grown to loveb, /bthat had loved me for two lifetimes…standing tall with me. Grandmother–Roana spoke

“Now…we n a weddingi! /iWe ihope /iyou all iwill /ibe able to attend!i” /i

Kai and I blushed as the crowd went wild with cheers! Congrattions and well wishes flooded the

room. Kai smiled with pride as he took me into his arms.

i“/iI’m so proud iof /iiyou /iiGracie/ii./i”

I blushed as my smile grew brighter. He had no idea how much that meant to me.

Suddenly, Kai pulled me closer, his eyes gazing into mine, and gently kissed me. Everyone cheered

and pped as the happy couple embraced each other.

“iHey/ii!! /iiSave /iiit /iifor /iithe /iiI /iido’s/ii!/i”

Parys‘ment caused us all to burst outughing. The reporter then called back out to Kai.

“iOh/ii! /iiHeir /iiChristiansen/i…iyou /iinever /iitold /ius….iwho /iiwas /iithis /iibirthday /iiparty /iifor/ii?/ii” /i

Kai looked at me and smiled.

“For imy /iifinance /iiof /iicourse/i. iI /iididn’t /iiget /iithe /iichance /iito /iicelebrate /iiit /iion /iiher /iiactual /iiday/ii; /iso I inned /iiit /ifor itoday/ii. /iiNow/ii, /iiif /iithe /iiband /iicould /iiplease /iiy some music/i…iI’d /iilike /iito /iihave /iia /iidance /iiwith /iithe /iimost /iibeautiful /i

Kai led me down to the dance floor, as the crowd split to give us room; we began to slowly dance. Our eyes gazing lovingly at each other. After a few moments, everyone else began to pair up with

someone and take the dance floor.

As the song came to an end, there was a sudden ruckus in the hallway. We could hear what sounded like people yelling and then the doors flew open.

Olivia came running in with what looked to be a knife in her hand. As she ran towards the crowd, she began to scream and cry,

i“/iiGRACELAND/i!!! YOU iBITCH!!! /iiI /iiHOPE /iiYOU /iiDIE/ii!!!/ii” /i

Olivia bcame /bcharging towards me, knife in hand. Before I could react, Ramone quickly tackled her down to the ground,

Squirming, she began yelling and cursing.

Ramone along with one of his other bodyguards dragged Olivia out the ballroom to wait for the authorities. Outside the ballroom, you could hear Sharon yelling and crying. Finally, she came running into the room

i“/iiGrd/ii!! /iiGrd /iiplease/ii!!!/i”

Sharon threw herself at my feet, tears flooding her face.
