ADOPTED HEIR **The truth**
Isabella's P O V
"So mom, we are listening. Tell us all about it. It's been a long day already." Kendra said with her fingers Interlocked. She looks so eager to hear all about it.

"Yes, I've been eager to hear the whole thing too." Kendrick supported.
I adjusted nervously on my seat. This is really hard. It's going to be more difficult than I thought.
"So um..my mother is Grams only daughter, she..."
I stopped because of the sudden loud noise outside. Right now we are in a reserved restaurant. I reserved the whole restaurant so I can be able to tell them the whole thing clearly. I didn't want distraction.
"We heard that miss Isabella Asher Queen is in there. Let us in!" We heard numerous voices yelling outside.
"I'll go check it." Kendrick said and left.

We waited for him to return.
"Its really busy outside. There are a lot of people and reporters trying to force themselves in. But the guards of this restaurant are holding them.
Tho I don't think they'll be able to do that for long. We need to leave, miss Isabella." Kendrick narrated.
I stood up on my feet immediately.

"Reporters?" I asked, surprised.
"Yes. A lot of them are outside trying to gain entrance." He confirmed.
"You need to leave then. Right?" Kendra asked me.
"Yes, we need to leave now. I can't leave you guys here. If I leave anyone and they manage to come in, they'll see you and might end up thinking that you are me. So let's leave together," I said to Kendra.
"Okay, no problem." She agreed.
I called a waiter that was probably rushing to the front door. He stopped and ran to us.
"I know you guys have a back route here right?" I asked.
"Yes, ma'am. We do," he answered.
"Here, take my keys. Bring my car to the back. We need to leave now." I instructed him.
He took the keys and nodded.
"We are so sorry for the inconvenience. I hope you can come back next time." He said before running out.
I turn back to my two kids.
"Are you guys okay? I mean, I seems to have ruined your beautiful evening."
"No, it's fine. It's almost midnight. It's high time we head home anyways. We can continue tomorrow." Kendrick replied.
"Yes. I'm just really envious of you right now. You are this popular, I'm really envious." Kendra said pouting.
"It's tiring to be popular, Dra. Look because of me now, we have to leave this restaurants." I replied.
"Even tho, I still want to be as popular as you." She insisted.
"Okay, you will. You will be popular, you'll be more famous than me. Just keep calm, have a little more patience and grow up a little." I advised.
She nodded, smiling.
The waiter rushed back to us and handed the keys back to me.
"Ma'am your car is waiting for you at the garage. Once you come down from the elevator, you'll see it." The waiter said.
"Okay. Thanks." I thanked and left with my kids.
We got down and got into the car. I started the car, reversed and drove out of the restaurant through the back.
We can hear the voices of the reporters from the garage. They are all so loud.
40 minutes later. I parked in front of Gram's old house. We came down, Kendrick and Kendra walked to the boot to take out all the stuff we bought while I headed straight in.
I can't afford someone else recognizing me right now.
I got into the sitting room to see Grams sitting and watching the television there.
"Grams," I called happyily.
"Hey child. You are back. How did it go?" She inquired.
I sigh and sat down beside her. "Celebrating their birthday went well but the truth is I couldn't reveal it. I guess I'll have to do that early tomorrow morning." I told her.
She nodded in understanding.
"Alright. I suppose you all ate there right or do you need me to prepare anything?" She asked.
"Of course not, Grams. We ate a lot. I'm sorry we couldn't take you, but we got a lot of things that you'll like." I said.
The door opened and they came in with different shopping bags. They dumped them at a corner in the sitting room and made to go out to bring in the remaining bags when Grams stopped them.
"Kendra, tonight you'll share the room with your brother. Let Isabella use your own room to sleep." Grams said to her.
"Um, no problem. I'm glad that she is actually sleeping here with us. I love that." Isabella smiled and went outside.
They kept bringing in the bags until the bags in the boot finished. They locked the car and came in then.
Grams stood up. "I'll be sleeping in my room. I was here waiting for you guys and that's the reason I couldn't go to bed. You all should go to bed too. I'm sure you are tired." Grams said and advised.
"We are, Grams."
"Of course. I'll go to bed now. Goodnight Aunt Isabella," she waved and went into Kendrick's room.
"Goodnight." Kendrick also said and left for his room to sleep.
I sigh again and stood up, I walked slowly to Kendra's room and opened the door.
I'll be taking a bath. I can't sleep without bathing. I'll be so uncomfortable.
I went to Grams room to pick my bag. I went back to Kendra's room and emptied the content of my bag. My phone fell off and I picked it and opened it.
My wall picture is my kid's picture. I smiled and dropped my phone down on the table there. I pulled off my clothes and went into the bathroom to take my bath.
Kendrick's P O V
"Kendrick, can you go get my sleeping cloth in my room? I'm feeling so sleepy and so tired. Please help me bring them." Kendra requested.
"You go by yourself. I'm equally tired." I say pulling off my shirt.
"Please," she pleaded again.
"I really need to change into something more comfortable. I'm not comfortable in these clothes." She pressed on.
"Okay. Okay. I've heard you. I'll go." I said and dropped my shirt down.
I opened the door and came out to the sitting room. The sitting room is so quiet.
I walked to Kendra's room and knocked. I waited but no reply came. I knocked again but no reply came.
Isn't she inside the room? I placed my hear against the door and listened to see if I could her any movements.
I think she is in the bathroom.
Let me go get Kendra's clothes fast. I opened the door and went in. I walked to Kendra's closet and started searching for her night gown.
After searching for few minutes I saw it and grabbed it. I turned to leave but the sound of her ringing tone stopped me.
I turned to see her phone on Kendra's reading desk. I walked to the table and grabbed the phone.
'Mom' is written on the screen.
Mom? Her mom? Okay she has a mom? This is really confusing.
How come she has another mother? The words she said at the restaurant flashed back into my head.
*So um..my mother is Grams only daughter, she*
But she said her mother is granny's only daughter? Does these make any sense?
It's all confusing. The phone stopped ringing after a while but starts ringing again.
I watched the call end and the wallpaper popped up. At a careful look, I noticed her wallpaper, the picture, the two people in the picture look like us.
Okay. They don't look like Ken and I. They are actually us.
I dropped Kendra's cloth and unlocked her phone to have a clearer look at the picture. Luckily her phone doesn't have any sort of password.
It's really us. She has a photo of us from when we are 16.
How many does she have? I wondered and decided to check the gallery out of curiosity.
The phone almost fell down from my hand when I realized she only has a picture of us.
What on earth?
A text message popped in then.
*From mom 'Have you told them yet? Have you revealed the truth to them? Tomorrow I'm releasing the interview you did.'*
The text read.
I ignored the message and continued scrolling down the pictures in her phone. She has a picture of us from when we are just 3 months, 6 months, 1 to 2 years.
Oh my goodness! No way!
Even I don't have this pictures of myself and Kendra. Even granny doesn't have one. Her gallery is only full of our pictures. Only ours.
Does these make sense? She is only our Aunt who didn't grow up with us. What on earth? Why on earth does she have this pictures of us?
Has she been watching us or what? No! This doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
The bathroom door suddenly opened and she stepped out. She looked surprised to see me.
I walked up to her with the phone immediately.
"What's all this? Why do you have only our picture in your phone? Have you been watching us all this while?
Who the hell are you??" I half yelled.
