Crystal I looked in shock in what’s happening I haven’t got a clue on what is going on, Lorenzo told me to sit down in between the twins they both moved each side for me to sit down, I got sat down slowly and I can feel them staring at me and angry at the same I know that I need to be punished for what I did but I don’t care about that I want to get this part over and done with, I saw Eliza sitting next to Marco small sofa couch, he laying back and had is left arm on the back of the sofa and Eliza sitting forward. “Miss Crystal do you know why you’re here?” said Mr Johns, I shook my head as a no, “on our last encounter you were at closed down diner why was that?” Mr johns asked, Maria gave me angry glare and he looked at her then to me, “it was my mother’s diner I never met her due that she died shortly after my birth” I got interrupted by Maria “don’t say another word” Lorenzo looked at her and told her to shut up, she did of what she was told, “my father Hector inherited the diner and kept it running until his sudden death when I was 13 he took me there a lot and it was one of the most popular diners in the city the business was making medium size profit that’s what he told me” Mr johns listened very carefully  “I am Hector Saunders Lawyer and his daughter has been missing for very long time Maria said that she run away and never been found but soon as I heard you mention Hectors name I had to know I spoke to Mr Lorenzo Mala Del that he was the assigned guardian to Hector’s daughter if he died, I noticed the locket around your neck  when we first met and so did Lorenzo when you accidently bumped into him here may I see it?” the twins staring at me that feeling of lust in their eyes they looked down and my necklaces under my dress touching my bra I pulled it over my head and past it to him, he looked at very carefully and opened it and past it to Lorenzo then he spoke “ the last time I saw this locket was many years ago when Hector and his daughter visited when she was 5 and my sons were 13 I remember it very well like it was yesterday he given it to her as gift and identification if something happened to her after his death” Lorenzo had tear in his eye and moved his fingers a cross the pictures of the opened locket he placed it down on the table so lightly. I looked at him and everyone else in the room, Maria was turning red in anger and wanted to move but the guard forced her to sit down by holding on to her shoulders. “ to prove my theory we needed to take blood from you and Lorenzo’s doctor did and I have the evidence here that it states that you miss Crystal that YOU are the daughter of Mr and Mrs Hector and Saphira Saunders, please tell me what happened when your 13 take your time” Mr Johns said “don’t say anything you b***h” Maria shouted “shut up we saw your little stunt you did outside earlier and we are not through with you yet” shouted Elijah, Maria stayed quiet. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes then finally I spoke “ my father met his old school friend Maria at a party they were talking a lot and hit off very quick well mostly on her part I knew she didn’t like me by giving me evil looks and I haven’t  done anything wrong, in time they got engaged very quickly and then marriage I know a big change in him he wasn’t too close with his friends and there was less guards each month after, when  I turned 13 he wasn’t happy with himself I knew something wrong and was getting depressed every day, 4 months later he took a drive and then he crashed his car and died, they made it as accidental  but I know better it was only me and Maria there, few days later she moved all my bits to the attic and told me that Crystal Saunders has runaway and never be seen again she pulled me to run down bed my head facing down and tied my both hands to the pilers to the bed she moved my top upwards and told me to stay still (this point I had tears in my eyes of seeing the flashback but I had to keep going) she got out something then I felt sharp pain on my back like it got ripped apart I screamed in pain she done it  4 times and twice on the legs, she looked at me and told me that I was pathetic and useless she untied me and left me there for the whole night I was crying in pain, the next few days she told me what my new life would be and if I spoke out she would whip me again and more harder than before. I kept my mouth closed and followed every task given for next 5 years I have forgotten most of my child hood and then the day Mr Ricci came she  gave me away like trash even I said that we are family and she said otherwise. Since being here I remember my memories and that I was here before but when she keeps coming here I knew that she was being so nosy and looking around the office looking for something, she still treated me the same and whipped me a couple of times to know my place, recently she didn’t like how I was dressed and how happy I was but at the last second I was becoming more of myself and found out through Joseph that she will kill me and when she takes the file and get what she wanted” I took another breather and poured myself a glass of water and took a heavy gulps of it, all the men looked in the room in shock and the twins were very angrily, I stood up for my seat and turned round facing the twins I pulled the straps down and unzipped part of my dress moved my hair to the side and my scars every one gasped, the twins looked they wanted to touch I nodded at them to give my permission Victor went first and that they were little deep and then Elijah they looked at her with angry expressions I zipped my dress back up and sat down “Why did you doo all this? Victor shouted, Maria looked up and smiled “Saphira took everything from me it should have been me in her place but oh no he had to fell in love with her and have a brat of a child, if he was with me he still would be very heartless and not bother to have children I can’t stand them they cry and cost so much money I made my plan to take my revenge and destroy this family and I will be rich and get what I want but you all had to get in the way” she said. I stood up from my seat and walked to her and slapped her across the face, “I believe you deserve that one coming” I sat back down and to another sip of my water Mr johns opened the file and gave me my father’s will, I looked and put and over my mouth and started to cry  Eliza came to be and comforted me I was so relieved that I won’t be tormented by that women anymore, Mr Johns gave me a another sheet of paper which looked like bank statement I looked and I gasped at the money that was in front of me “Miss Saunders I just need your signature to say about documents and deeds to the diner, the small house and the mansion and then everything will be completed, I know it’s early but what are your plans if you don’t mind me asking” said Mr Johns I thought very hard and then signed all the documents but reading them carefully “Sir I have made my decisions on some things and I have decided that Joseph and his wife will stay in the small house and do a cheap rent as possible it would be perfect start to their new life and family, the dinner will be refurbished and be opened not long after, I was wondering if you be able to help with that” “of course miss I will get on right away he put all the files together and shock my hand I gave him an hug and whispered thank you to him he shook Lorenzo’s hand the twins and left. Everyone else turned to Maria, Lorenzo looked at her and stood from his seat and in front of her “as for you my dear you will leave this country and never to return we will give you some money and when that’s gone you will have nothing I don’t care what you do you choose what you like to do with that money if any of use see you be in this country ever again you will suffer the consequences Mr Ricci will take you the house and you will pack and leave you at the airport with one way ticket you are not to make any contact with Crystal and if you dare try to take her life I will be taking yours do I make myself very clear” showing authority she whimpered with a yes and Mr Ricci took her out of the room and Marco nudged Eliza meaning it’s their que to leave, once everyone else has left Lorenzo looked at me and sat in his seat. “Crystal, I need to ask you a few things and you can take much time as needed” I looked up feeling exhausted what will he going to say to me.
