Watching my biological mother degrade herself, begging me to save her precious Olivia…all the emotions that I carried for two lifetimes came flooding out.
“You’re willing to throw yourself at my mercy….to degrade yourself just to save Olivia…but you were willing to have me murdered?!”
Sharon’s eyes widen; as she searched for the right words, nothing would come up. The truth was… there were no right words. Nothing could justify this…
“No matter who my father was…I was YOUR daughter….but you discarded me like trash because I threatened your status…and then you have the nerve to beg me to save someone who just tried to kill
me?”
The tears began to swell into my eyes.
“She’s not my sister…because you’re not my mother…”
With that, I turned to walk away. Sharon had disappointed and hurt me for the last time. I hated myself for even being affected. Kai ran after me along with Joellie and Kayla.
Suddenly, Marla walked up to Sharon. Her face filled with disgust.
“Security…please remove this woman from my home.”
Sharon’s eyes widen in fear as she frantically looked around for me.
“Stop looking for Gracie…she won’t be helping you or your family any further.”
“But my daughter-”
“Your daughter is going to jail for attempted murder. And if you don’t get the hell off my property…I’ll you arrested for trespassing.”
The security guards grabbed Sharon by the arms dragging her out the ballroom. As she struggled, you could hear her screaming and pleading for leniency towards Olivia, To the bitter end, she would defend her.
The party pretty much went back to normal after that. I got to blow candles off the cake as everyone sang happy birthday…a first since I was twelve. We all danced and drank the night away. There were

fireworks afterwards to close out the evening. Once the party was over, I was completely exhausted. After taking a nice hot shower, I found my way to my bed plopping face down. Suddenly, I could hear Kai laughing behind me.
“That’s an interesting way to lay in the bed future Mrs. Christiansen.”
I immediately turned around; my face filled with laughter.
“How long have you been standing there?”
“Long enough to see you plop facedown onto the bed.”
I giggled as I sat up. Kai sat next to me, taking my left hand into his.
“I know you’re tired, but I wanted to give you my birthday gift.”
I stared at Kai with a puzzled expression, I hadn’t expected him to give me a gift. On my actual birthday, although we didn’t celebrate it publicly, we all celebrated as a family. Marla and Theo threw another family weekend with everyone coming to the estate. It was absolutely wonderful and Kai…well lets just say in terms of gifts, if it had been St. Merry’s Day, I would have had the entire bag of presents.
Kai gently kissed my hand as he started to speak,
“You know…ten years ago, I was convinced I’d found the love of my life when I met this remarkable girl and her violin. I didn’t know it at the time, but she had to cross two lifetimes to be with me.”
Kai’s eyes were filled with emotion as he continued.
“You know…I never told you this…but the day I woke up, it was your mother I saw in my dream.”
My eyes suddenly widen! WHAT!!!!
“What do you mean?”
“I mean…she was the one that guided me towards your music…before she left…she whispered something to me…do know what it was?”
I could feel the tears falling down my face, shaking my head no, Kai continued.
“Please treat my daughter well. She’s waited a long time for you.”

I could feel my face soaked in tears…my mother…she spoke to Kai for me…even in death…she was still my guardian angel.
“I know you’ve been threw a lot Graceland. Two lifetimes…and I can’t promise you that everyday will be perfect…but I promise to love you for the rest of my life…to cherish you always…and to be there for you every step of the way.”
I sat in silence. As Kai spoke, I couldn’t help but think his words felt like a proposal, except we were already engaged. Before I could say anything, Kai pulled out this small, beautiful velvet box.
“Now, I know I was in coma…so my parents took the liberty of setting everything up. BUT…I think I would much rather be the one to ask you this.”
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kai dropped down on one knee; his eyes gazed into mine as they burned brightly with love.
“Graceland Teagues…will you do me the honor of being my wife?”
The tears came flooding as I eagerly shook my head.
“Yes!!! Yes!!!”
Kai picked me up swirling me around; after kissing me passionately, we made our way back to the bed. That night, Kai made love to me passionately, it was as if our entire souls were meeting for the
first time. Letting us know…we were both right where we belonged.
Maybe after this I’ll be inspired to compose another violin piece.
