Chapter 127

Graceland’s POV:

29%

I arrived back home around 2pm. After confirming my pickup time for tomorrow morning with Marla, I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from my heart. I walked into the Rochester estate with caution, after all, last time I came home I was assaulted for something I didn’t do.

As I made my way to my room, I could hear my biological mother call my name harshly.

‘Jesus, what now.‘

“Graceland! Get in here immediately!”

I walked into the grand room to see Sharon, Brian, Cole, and of course Olivia all staring at me. Just as Sharon was about to say something, her eyes darted to the bags in my hand.

“You went shopping!?”

She said it in an accusatory tone suggesting I had the audacity. Smiling politely, I nodded my head.

“Yes, I decided to buy me a new dress. Is there something wrong with that?”

Sharon’s eyes widen, anger seeping through.

“How dare you talk me like that! I’m your mother!”

My mother? I nearly laughed out loud at the hypocrisy. When was this lady ever a mother

to me? Suddenly, Brian spoke.

“What I want to know, is where she got the money to buy anything! Have you been stealing again!”

Brian barked at me with hatred in his tone, awe, he must still be pissed from this morning. How laughable. I rolled my eyes over to Brian, a mischievous grin on my face.

“Again? Brian, please correct me if I’m wrong but to steal AGAIN would imply I’ve stolen before. When would that have been?”

Brian’s eyes widen, he’d realized he was still implying I stole that ugly necklace. Before he could respond, I continued.

“As I’m sure you of all people are aware, I’m very proficient in academics. I’ve been tutoring to help others pass their exams. Not everyone feels my services should be free.”

To that statement, all four of their eyes widen. They most certainly were not used to me defending myself this boldly, however, what really pissed them off was the fact that they

could not refute my statement.

Sharon began to speak, her voice slightly trembling.

“I–I don’t know what is wrong with you and why you have become so ungrateful!”

As tears started to fall down her cheeks, the three fools ran over to console her. At least

“Graceland, why are you behaving this way.

“What exactly did I do Cole?”

“What do you-”

“I want to know what I did! You’re accusing me of acting some type of way. So, what did I do? From the moment I walked into this house I was greeted with hostility because I went to the store. Is THAT what I did wrong?”

“I–I wasn’t implying you can’t go to the store Graceland! I just meant, why are you being so

mean.”

“When was I mean? Your mother called me into this room with hostility, and your brother just called me a thief…again. So, am I not allowed to defend myself?”

Cole looked at me with a puzzled expression as I emphasized ‘his mother and brother‘.

Just as Cole was about to answer, Noah walked into the room causing everyone to turn around.

“What the hell is going on now!”

On cue, both Olivia and Sharon ran over to Noah, tears filled in their eyes. Sharon spoke first.
