    *CHICAGO'S POV*

"I have a confession to make..." Chrissy's voice rings in my ear.

That's the last thing I expected her to say. She looks nervous and worried.

"What is it ?" I ask her in a not so calm voice myself.

"I know the reason why mom and dad threw you out... it all started five months ago... when she visited."

I started working for Wes five months ago.

"When who visited ?"

Chrissy looks at me like she's debating whether to tell me or not.

She stops fidgeting and let's out a heavy sigh.

"I don't know her name..Five months ago there's this black car that started parking a few metres outside the house.

I used to see it quite a lot when I went to school or when I was coming back at home.

Then one weekend, while I was with Derek at the drug store buying dad's medication, the car came out of nowhere... then this lady with dark hair came out of the car.

She was slim and looked rich.

Very rich.

She offered us a lot of money to tell her about... you." She whispers the last part.

Wait...!

"Me ?"

Chrissy stops herself from answering when the waiter places my cookies and hot chocolate in front of me.

I nod a thank you and she leaves.

"...yes" She continues.

"We needed the money. Things were very hard at home. The money you sent wasn't enough-"

"You should have called ! I would have sent more money." I cut her off.

"She's the one who gave Derek those pictures at thanksgiving."

I gasp and it doesn't go unnoticed. I see a few of the customers turn their heads to look at our table.

None of this makes sense right now. Why would someone want to harm me. I'm a good girl.

Right ?

"Chicago !" Chrissy calls out.

I look up at her and she's staring at me uncomprehendingly.

"Why would anyone want to hurt me ?"

Chrissy shakes her head indicating she too doesn't know why.

I take out my phone and search for Meghan's Instagram page. Once I find it I slide my phone to Chrissy.

"Is that her ?"

I know its absurd because Meghan has red hair while Chrissy just said this lady has dark hair.

But then again it could be Meghan in a wig or she might have done a full body makeove-

"No it's not her."

Chrissy cuts me off before I could finish weighing my alternatives.

"This is not her."

"Are you sure ?"

"Yes"

We lapse into silence for minute before Chrissy breaks it by saying...

"Two nights before thanksgiving she and Derek were having wine while discussing something.

Mom had taken dad to his weekly checkups so we were all alone. I passed by Derek and her and my dress got caught by the table.

I tried freeing myself but then I accidentally pulled the table cloth resulting to her wine tipping over and pouring on her.

I took her to my room and had her change into my short silk robe while I cleaned her dress.

Once it was done I walked in on her and thats when I saw the tatoo..It's a tatoo of a mocking bird on her right thigh."

I let out a sigh once Chrissy is done talking.

This is all absurd.

In conclusion... there's a crazy lady out there who's after my head.

Great !

Just great !

My phone buzzes indicating i have a text..I check it and It's from Wes.

Wes: Can you come back to the mansion ? I need your assistance with something.

After am done reading I shift my gaze from my phone screen to Chrissy.

"I need to leave. My boss needs me."

I push the now cold chocolate drink and plate of cookies to her.

"Here. I'm not hungry anymore."

I pick up my bag and head to the counter.nI pay then leave.

"You took way too long"

Wes' words greet me as soon as I enter the mansion. I squeal and he smiles.

Can he get more creepier than that ?

"I was driving carefully so as not ruin your precious Range." I answer sarcastically but before Wes could answer back the door opens and a lady walks in all covered in snow.

Once her eyes meets Wes' she smiles widely and runs to hug him. They stay that way long enough for me to clear my throat and make the situation awkward.

Wes then breaks the hug after a while and turns to face me.

"Chicago meet Serenity... my cousin."
