“Perhaps Brian. I suggest you start trying to make up for the fact that she’s the reason you’ll be graduating college.”

I decided to go to bed, she wasn’t going to come out of that closet tonight. By tomorrow, she should be cooled off.

Graceland’s Pov:

I woke the next morning feeling surprisingly light despite that crappy bed. Maybe it was because I was able to lash out after all these years! And even though I was pretty sure it would change absolutely nothing, it felt good to finally get it out. After I finished showering, I received a text from my mother–in–law.

[Good morning, I hope you were able to sleep well. Call me as soon as you get the chance, Grandpa Teddy thinks he may have found a solution to your concern.]

Hmm. If he’s referring to my not wanting the Rochesters to benefit off the Christiansens… I knew me and my new grandfather would be good friends.

As I made my way to the kitchen, I could hear what sounded like an argument coming

from the breakfast room.

“All I’m saying is you didn’t have to hit her mom. We really didn’t have any proof. Why are you being so combative about this?”

“Because the maids weren’t the ones who found the necklace Noah.”

Silence.

“Then who did mom.”

“Livie.”

“So, what you’re telling me is that Livie tried to set Graceland up for theft?”

“No!!! I’m just saying she found the-”

“That’s impossible mom! There’s no way she could have found that necklace in Graceland’s

room!”

Silence.

“Maybe one of the maid’s-”

“Mom stop. Livie never went back into Graceland’s room after yesterday morning.”

“Noah, she’s my daughter…you’re sister! I don’t want her to get in trouble for this! Your father is already on edge after what happened last night!“”

“What about Graceland m-”

“What about her!!”

Silence.

“What I mean is, now that we know the truth, it’s no point in harping on this. I’m asking you to protect Livie.”

Silence. Sigh.

“Fine mother, but tell her to relax, that wasn’t necessary.

“I will! She knows! She feels really bad! She said Graceland was mean to her that morning, so she reacted out of frustration.”

“I get it. But next time…tell her to come to me. I’ll handle dad. Mom, apologize.”

“Fine.”

I couldn’t help but laugh hysterically to myself. WOW!! All that crap Noah tried to pull last night acting all concerned, only for him to cover for Livie. I knew it was too good to be true. I walked to kitchen to grab me some orange juice before leaving. As I closed the

“Graceland. I trust you sleep well.”

“I just wanted to apologize for last night. Even though the evidence suggested otherwise, I now know you weren’t the one who took the necklace. We think one of the maid’s-”

Hahahahahaha.

I began to laugh hysterically. Who the hell was she trying to fool!! After wiping the tears from my eyes, I grabbed my orange juice and left leaving her just staring in shock.

As I made my way to the foyer, I was stopped by Noah.

“Graceland. A word.”

I slowly turned around, irritation on my face. Noah looked at me with slight guilt as he

cleared his throat.

“Um, I trust you spoke with mother.”

I stared at him nonchalantly. He continued nervously.

“Did she apologize?”

“She did.”

“That’s good. Well then you-”

I began laughing causing him to pause and stare at me confused.

“Did I say something funny?”

“As a matter of fact, you did. I never said I acc
