Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 192

Chapter 192

My father smiled eagerly. Family. Please. Not once did they even ask if I was there.

“If you don’t mind me asking, who’s birthday are we celebrating today?”

Marla smiled a mischievous smile.

“That’s a secret for now. In due time, the guests of honor will be arriving. Well, I hope everyone enjoys themselves.”

Marla and Theo walked off greeting other guests. Shortly after, Sharon’s face twisted. Speaking low so that no one else could hear her, she fumed.

“That bitch. That’s the second time she’s done that.”

“Quiet! Enough of your complaining!”

Calvin scolded her as Noah spoke up.

“This is exactly why I said stop with the shit talking. You all almost got caught! Let’s remember why we’re here.”

The time was now 7pm. As the orchestra finished their song, Marla and Theo took the stage. After taking the mic, Marla began to speak.

“Thank you all for to celebrate this evening. As you all know, the beginning of this year was very tragic for my family and I. Our son Kai was in a horrible accident that rendered him comatose.”

“Because of that, we’ve spent this past year in the shadows as we chose to focus on our son’s health. I can honestly say this year has been extremely challenging for us as we continued to fight and pray for his recovery; so I thank you all for joining us tonight as we finally allow some celebration.”

“Now I’m sure you’re all wondering exactly WHO we’ll be celebrating this evening, but before we get into that…I’d like to introduce a young woman on the stage who has composed a very beautiful piece for tonight’s honor.”

The crowd all began to whisper; wondering who the guest or guests of honors were and who this mystery artist was.

As I made my way to stage, the room began chatter.

“Who is that?”

:

“I don’t know; she’s wearing a mask so it’s hard to tell.”

“Her dress is beautiful! Is that a phoenix themed dress and mask?”

The crowd continued to gossip as I made my way to the piano.

The first time I expressed my love to Kai; I used my violin and it’s musical notes. Tonight, I would use this piano along with my voice. I scanned the room quickly spotting Kai, he was now standing in front of the crowd. I smiled warmly and began to play the piano as I sang the song written just for him.

As I began to play and sing, I could hear the crowd whispering. Although I couldn’t make out the words, I could tell they were filled with excitement.

Kai’s POV:

As Gracie played and sing, I could feel my heart swelling in my chest.

‘Is THAT what she had been doing all those nights in the music room while I was working?‘

She’d composed another love letter to me. Only this time; she used the piano as her paper and her voice as the pen.

“Oh my, this is absolutely beautiful.”

Someone from the crowd exclaimed as Gracie continued to sing.

“I wonder who she’s singing too?”

“Well, whoever it is…he’s a lucky fella. This young lady is clearly in love.”

I could feel myself blushing through my mask. They had no idea…me and Gracie…we crossed oceans of time just to be together.

As she reached the end of her song, I could hear several people talking behind me. As they grew closer, their voices grew clearer.

The Rochesters.

“Oh my god…I don’t believe it.”

“What is it Cole?”

“I…I know who that singer is.”

“Who is it??”

“It’s Graceland.”
