Jason's POVWe all turned to Charles with a questioning look. “What did you say?” I asked him with a narrow look. Charles was quiet for a few minutes. I wanted to talk but my grandpa stopped me. We all focused on him until he turned to me looking undisturbed with all the pressure that was going on.He looked quite shocked and his mouth opened slightly. I wasn't the only one he was making anxious. Everyone in the room was.My grandpa, my father and mother, Clara and martin. We all looked at him expectantly.“Boy, if you have anything to say just say it," my grandpa barked.I thought he was telling me to be patient.Charles inhaled and exhaled.“I don't know if it is just a coincidence or a replica but that mark looks the exact same as Violet 's birthmark. I have seen it on her several times.” he announced with a tone of certainty. Just as he said that, everyone's eyes turned to me. I knew the reason was because I'm her husband. That couldn't be true, I tried to remember all the tim
Summer’s POVI was elated! For the first time, I had accomplished something perfectly. I also didn't know the importance of this document but I knew it has a lot of worth. Aunt Kaitlyn had said that it is the only reason that could keep me in the Hughes family.I didn't want to leave that family. I have known wealth since I was a child and returning to the slim at this age would be brutal. I gripped on it tightly, maybe more than I should have as I walked to the person who saved me. Everyone had someone who saved them from a major calamity, mine was Aunt Kaitlyn and I would forever be indebted. My life hasn't been rosy but she somehow found a way to make it better. “Did you get it?” Aunt Kaitlyn asked, sounding eager. I brought out the document behind me and beamed. “We did it!” I said happily. A hand snatched it from me before hugging the person beside her. Apparently, that was Aunt Kaitlyn's husband. He was never friendly and all he cared about was the money.“After all that we
Violet ’s POVThe air in the room was tense, no matter how they tried to hide it. I could see through all their acts. Something was wrong and they weren't talking. “Is everything fine?” I asked Jason. He stared at me before looking back at his food. I couldn't contain my curiosity anymore, I tapped my foot impatiently waiting for someone to spill whatever happened. This continued throughout the meal and everyone dispersed. “Let me take you to the room,”Jason said gently. He carried me into the room and placed me gently, his eyes were gloomy as I stared into them. I was sure it was about my kidnap. Since I returned they haven't said anything to me. Not even my brother. I didn't see Charles as usual but that wasn't what was bothering me.“Would you please tell me what is going on? The whole attitude is making me nervous.” I let out.“Nothing is wrong babe, I know you are worried,” he said. “What then happened?” I questioned. “Nothing happened. We were just talking about not want
Jason's POVI really couldn't bring myself to tell Violet about the whole thing until I'd found concrete evidence and how to protect her. I didn't want her to have fear that someone was after her life.We all sat down discussing the way forward. At the point everyone didn't know what to do, I had never had to have such a challenging situation before. We were all in the middle of a dilemma not knowing where to turn to. Only my mother and Clara weren't seated. We left them with Violet to make sure she was alright. Even Donald wouldn't leave. He was happy to help in this whole thing.“We have to confirm if Violet is truly an Hughes, ” grandpa said. I looked at everyone gathered, we were a group of six. We had all decided to come together to tackle this issue as it was getting harder than we thought. Violet 's father would have been our path but he was killed.“Are you doubting the current evidence? ” Charles asked.I was also thinking of asking the same thing. There was enough evid
Jason's POV I didn't know why I was scared but I was. I took the book, wrapped it in a paper bag because I didn't want to accidentally meet Violet on the way. I went back to the room the remaining five were. “Here's the diary that might hold all our answers," I said to them. We all decided that it was right for Charles to read it. After all it was his father we wanted to talk about. I noticed the pain in Charles' eyes, this was the main reason we had to find whoever did this. We all gathered at the tables Charles skimmed through the pages before searching for the exact date Violet ’s mom said she was brought. After a while, Charles' face turned sour and he immediately passed the book to me. “I can't read it,” he let out painfully. I understood what he was going through and collected the book from him. I looked at the page he opened and I was shocked at what I saw. I didn't know if Charles saw it because he shouldn't see it and he would be still. I looked at everyon
Summer’s POV I twirled the glass cup in my hands worriedly. Staring at the wall In front of me, I could remember our agreement years ago. I was a child but it was still fresh in my head. Even if I had wanted to forget it, Aunt Kaitlyn and her husband won't stop reminding me of who I am. That agreement had changed my life, I had not expected it and it was a life changer for me. I thank my stars everyday for meeting someone like her. It was not easy in the slum. I woke up everyday with no food or shelter. I had to fend for myself either by stealing or doing anything illegal. The orphanage that I was put in cared little for us. But was it their fault? It was the fault of our parents who either died when they weren't supposed to or left us to the cruel hands of the world. At first when I left the orphanage, I had thought I found wealthy parents and I was happy until I was told that I was going to become another person.
Summer’s Pov But at the same time, these people helped me, they saved me from living in penury and I don't think repaying them like this would be fair. I was in the middle of a dilemma.Sighing loudly, I decided it was time for me to clear my head. Picking up my car keys, I headed to the slum. I still had friends there and I just needed to speak to someone who could understand my plight. Since I left the slums, I have not had a single contact with anyone. I was grown so none of them could recognize me. I came here looking for someone who could help me.Walking to the pub, I felt awkward. I was already in money and this place looked so disgusting. I just wanted to get what I wanted and leave.“Mabel!” I heard a familiar voice. I stiffened because I had thought no one would recognize me. I turned slowly to see who called me. Looking at the person standing before me, she looked very familiar.She was in an old big dress and her small face was lo
PROLOGUE"Violet, go and serve room 509 the refreshment they ordered!" A male voice barked out an order in anger." Yes, Manager Poo- Porter!" A young vibrant girl said, rolling her eyes unknown to the chubby man who just ordered her.The girl's eyes traced the chubby manager until he left, then she sighed heavily. She hated going to those rooms especially at this hour of the night. But she has no choice, she needed to make money. " Val, you just have to do it for this month so you can pay for your final year tuition fee. Don't you want to be the paediatrician you always wanted?" " Of course I need to take care of those cuties!"Violet's emerald eyes rolled again as she sighed once more before turning to look at the person who just spoke." I understand I need the money, Joe. What I don't understand is you coming here to work too," she asked, looking at the young man.Joe was her best friend she met while studying. They had been together and he knows how she was struggling to meet u
