Part 8

Monday midday, Corinne was packing her luggage for her late evening flight back to Monaco, when she heard a knock. She smiled, "You too early, Mic..." She stops, opening the door only to be met by the faces of Charles and Lorenzo Leclerc.

Charles sighed. "What are you doing here?" Cori asked. Charles nodded toward the other man. "This is my brother Lorenzo." Charles introduced. Lorenzo smiled and waved, "Hello," he said. Corinne looked at the brothers, "What do you want from me, Charles? And how did you know where I was? I have three hotels in Imola."

"We went to the other hotels and ended up here," Lorenzo said. Cori's face blanked. "Can you let us come in... to talk I mean," Charles asked. "Why?" Lorenzo stepped forward, "We really need to talk, it's important." Corinne hesitated, it's nothing bad, I promise." Charles said.

"If it comes from you, it can't be good. But coming in and make it quick. Mick is meant to be here soon." Cori said moving aside. Lorenzo looked at Charles with knowing eyes. "So, Leclerc, what do you want?"

"We want to talk about being adopted and..." "Adopted?" She questioned, "How did you know? My adoption was closed and never broken it to the internet." "Cori... I don't know how to start..." Charles said looking at his brother for help. "I'm just going to get to the point. We have a sister who was put up for adoption. We think you that sister."

Corinne laughed, "Why would you think that?" "I found a birth certificate with the name Corinne in one of... my father's boxes. Your birthday is October 14, 2000. The same as our brother Arthur. You have Monégasque citizenship." Charles said.

"No. My dad got me citizenship when I was younger. Many people have that birthday... And Corinne is a common name in France." Cori tried to argue. "Corinne, listen. You act like my brother, and you look just like my Grand-mère when she was young." (Grandmother) Charles said pulling a picture out of his pocket and handed it to her.

It was a photo of a woman. It looked old, maybe taken in the 50s or 60s. Cori was surprised by the resemblance between herself and the photo.

Lorenzo handed her the photo of the four children, and she froze. Cori quickly stood and moved towards her room. Lorenzo and Charles eyed each other before slowly following behind her. The brothers found the girl sitting in her closet with a box in front of her. The men moved over to her, and the lid of the box read 'memories.

Cori was going through old photos pulling out one and handing it to Lorenzo. Lorenzo's eyes widened. "It looks like the picture I found in moms' room, just you can't see Arthur's face." The older brother said.

Charles looked at the image and his face fell. "How do you have it?" "It was with my birth certificate when I was given to the church."
