“I think that’s a good idea. I would do pancakes. It’s good for the stomach.”

“Oh, Gracie isn’t sick mom.”

“I know.”

I furrowed my brows as I watched my mother continue to read her book. That was strange.

After breakfast, we began the preparations for the birthday party. With the party just three days away, I wanted to make sure everything was in order. All the right guests had received their invites and RSVP, including the Rochesters. Tyler brought me the final party favor. This would be the ‘icing on the cake‘.

“Did you want to watch the recording beforehand?”

Tyler asked as he poured both me and Cameron a drink.

“Have you watched it?”

Tyler sat in his chair and sighed.

“Yeah…I did. Zelma got some great shit. Well…in terms of bringing down the Rochesters. Those people really are scum.”

I nodded in response indicating I wanted to see the recordings. According to Tyler, Zelma began recording conversations from the Rochesters the day after she spoke with my mother. I sat in silence as we watched the recordings. Hours of the Rochesters talking about dirty deals and illegal business. Then came the day everyone found out Gracie accepted my parents‘ proposal. I could feel the heat rising from my chest as her brother Brian and that jackass Jonathan mocked me for being in a coma. That girl, Olivia, she knew exactly what she was doing.

Though I have to admit, watching my love slap that Brooks fool made all of this worth it. Watching her defend me…even before knowing me she defended me. I always knew my love wasn’t misplaced.

After finishing the video, Cameron handed me some documents.

“This is the proof we needed as well that Rochester and Brooks are using that real estate development

deal as a front for an underground crime lord. I’m sure their board will love to hear about that.”

Good…everything was in place. Now all we needed was the star attractions.

Gracie’s POV:

The time was now 5:30pm and I was finishing up my hair and makeup. The birthday party was actually a masquerade ball. For my attire, I chose a phoenix themed gown and mask. Representing my rise from the ashes. It was poetic that my new home also took place in Phoenix, South Bay. I now knew why I was reborn. Fate had given me a chance to make the right choice and finally be with the family I was always meant to be with.

I watched from the tablet as the guest began to arrive. The ball took place in the estate’s grand hall. I could hear many people questioning exactly WHO this event was for.

“So, which Christiansen is being celebrate tonight?”

“I’m not sure. It couldn’t be the oldest right?”

“No he’s still in a coma.”

“That’s so sad.”

“Yeah…to tell you the truth, I was surprised they were even doing this. For the past nine months they haven’t had any festivities.”

“Well can you blame them? I don’t know what I would do if my son were in a coma. Especially someone as accomplished as Kai Christiansen.

“”

The gossiping was circulating all throughout the ballroom with the same question being asked.

‘Who was this party for?‘

As I sipped on my glass of wine, Kayla, Londyn, Joey, and Jackie came into my dressing room.

“OMG!!!!! Gracie!!! Look at you!!!!”

Kayla squealed as she rushed over to hug me.

“Oh Gracie…you look so beautiful.”

Jackie’s eyes started to water up as she made her way over.

“Nope!! Don’t you dare! Nobody cry!! Remember our makeup!”

We all laughed aloud as Londyn scolded us about crying. Joellie walked in front of me placing her hands on my shoulders.

“You ready mama?”

“I’m ready.”

I could feel my heart beating at rapid speed. Tonight…I would finally get my justice.
