"why won't you listen to them?" Sunwoo asked

"Because Sunwoo." I said" Do you know what I went through then out of nowhere they call themselves family."

"But they didn't know back then." He said

I looked at him and rolled my eyes.

"This is not like you." He said

"Then what Sunwoo!" I yelled"I've been living my whole life and to only find out it's a lie!"

"Im sure we can solve this." He said

I looked at him with disbelief.

"You don't have to hide anymore." He said"and your not alone."

We made eye contact and I smiled at him.

"But I have you." I said and he smiled

"I know but you finally found your father." He said while he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck causing me to giggle.

"I remind you, I'm still here." Luca said

I awkwardly smiled and I removed myself from him.

"Way to ruin the mood." Sunwoo mumbled and I giggled

"Come on, since you understand now let's go to the others." Luca said

I looked at Sunwoo then I nodded my head.

So it is true.

I am his daughter.

But I felt bad for Nikita,what's going to happen to her.

I shook the thought away and placed the DNA results onto the table.

"Now do you believe?" Mr Woods asked me

"Yeah."I said" Why didn't you look for me?"

He paused for a second and said" At that time everything seemed fine."

I nervously played with my hands and asked" What about mom?"

He froze for a second and said" She passed away long time ago."

The two of us kept quiet until he said" Let's go and eat. Im sure dinner is ready."

I nodded my head and awkwardly followed behind him.

I wonder how everyone feels. About me being related to them.

Would they treat me different or would they push me away.

"Come sit here!" Samson had yelled from across the table when he saw me

"No she's sitting next to me." Mr Woods said warningly to Samson and he pouted

I sat next to Mr Woods and I felt uncomfortable, from all the stars I was getting.

"Can all of you stop staring, you scaring her." Veronica said and everyone went back to talking

I sighed in relief and continued on eating.

"Hey Josephine, is it fine if I ask you questions?" Emory asked

I nodded my head and he smiled.

"Who was taking care of you before you came here?" He asked

When he mentioned that everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me.

I looked down at my lap and I felt my eyes water.

"M-my mother." I said

" What do you mean your mother?" Alaric asked coldly

" Don't do that." Julian said warningly to Alaric

" Where is she?" Emory asked

I clenched my hands into a fist and said" She passed away."

The room went quiet and all I could hear was me sniffing as I tried to hold my tears.

"W-what about Nikita?" I asked, breaking the silence

"She's going back to her real parents." Mr Woods said

"But wouldn't that make you sad?" I asked"After all she was here before me."

"Don't be like that." Miklaus spoke for the first time" it's our fault that we didn't notice sooner."

"Im sure Nikita is going to love it there." Asa said

Maybe but I know Nikita's personality.

I sighed and said" Thank you for the food."

I stood up and took my plate to go wash it.

Once I was done I went outside, where the garden was.

I needed fresh air expecially with all the information I know now.

Life would have been easier if I didn't move her.

Yeah, I know I wouldn't meet my family but I wouldn't have to go through a lot and plus she would still be here.

What am I saying? If I didn't move here I wouldn't meet Sunwoo and all my friends.

Someone suddenly sat next to me and I looked up to see Mr Woods.

He smiled at me and said" Great view, isn't it?"

I hummed in response and looked at the flowers.

"Your mother loved this garden." He said" she even designed it herself."

She must have loved flowers that much.

He chuckled and said" She wanted to name Apollo Rose."

"Why didn't she?" I asked

"I told her people would make fun of him because he was a boy." He said

I nodded my head.

"What about Nikita?" I asked" why did she name her Rose?"

"I don't really know." He said"I should have listened to her. Your mother kept on asking why the baby didn't have freckles. I should have known they swapped you with another baby."

"They why didn't you?" I asked

"They said the baby never had freckles, so I believed." He said"I'm sorry I failed you."

I shook my head and said" You never failed me. You didn't even know I existed...I don't even know what I should feel right now."

"You don't have to feel anything right now." He said" I'm sure everything will make sense eventually."

I looked at him and said" Yeah."

He stood up and held out his hand for me to take.

"Come on, let's go irritate those brothers of yours." He said while smiling

I took his hand and smiled.

"Wouldn't they complain." I said

"No need to worry. I know the best way to annoy them." He said

I nodded my head in response.

He doesn't seem bad maybe I will enjoy this after all.
