The Rochesters were an elite family of North Bay. From investment bankers to real estate, they even owned a hospital. The Rochesters where the elite of the elite and I had just learned THIS was my biological family. Once I was discharged from the hospital, the Rochesters sent someone to pick me up.

I know what you’re thinking, red flag number 1! What type of family doesn’t come personally to pick up their long lost child. Try to understand though, I was only 12 years

old, I had just loss the only mother I’d ever known and had no one. I was desperate for a

family.

The drive was long, when I arrived at the Rochester Estate, everyone was there. My biological mother Sharon Rochester was beautiful. She had olive colored skin, with long wavy hair, and hazel colored eyes. Surprisingly, I looked just like her. My father, Calvin Rochester, looked every bit the powerful and prominent.

“I’m so sorry sister!! I promise not to touch any of your things again! Please don’t hurt me!”

“Graceland! What the hell is wrong with you!! How dare you hurt my daughter over some

bracelet!”

SLAP!

“This cheap thing is what you made a fuss about and hurt my baby sister over?”

I looked in fear as he held the bracelet up as if to break it. In a panic I stood up.

“No please! That’s the last thing my mother ever brought me!”

Sharon gave a me a look of disgust.

“Mother! That woman was a thief! How dare you speak of her in this house! She must have done a disgraceful job raising you!”

Tears began to weld up in my eyes, and then…POP!!

Brian snapped my bracelet into little pieces. As I watched it shatter on the ground, I realized then, that my life of being loved and peaceful was coming to an end. Over the years, it became a daily trend. Olivia would accuse me of something and in an instant,
