I've never thought I'll be back here, at NYCSS.
But we were.
The previous three days had been hell for me, especially when I discovered that my case was reopened, and being worked on.
Iness and Jackie, they were so persuasive that I had finally opened up everything, especially when they showed me a recording from a camera which they had hidden somewhere at home.
Linda and Joseph were going to be prosecuted, but I refused it.
I didn't want to go through another drama, now that the first was ended.
I still couldn't believe it...I'm free.
I smiled at Iness and Jackie, and threw my arms around them one more time.
"Thanks so much!!" I said for the umpteenth time.
I decided to work as a junior staff in the SS, while dedicating my time to finding my parents.
But those three days of my greatest joy had a downside to it.
I haven't seen Emilio, and even Festus stopped coming.
It really weighed me down, especially as he was the only one who had started the slow process of uncovering the real me.
I felt betrayed, but I kept going to school, checking class and the garage each day.
Hoping.
A week later.
I gave up.
He's probably 'dumped' me; no note, nothing.
I guess I wasn't worth his time.
That small feeling inside me that was blooming for him began to grow.....into hatred.
Now the history is over, we're going into the real story, and you don't wanna miss it!!!
Emilio's off to Italy because of his dad's unexpected death.
Anne is now free and is focused on finding her parents, with a hatred for Emilio for 'dumping' her.
World apart, will their paths cross?
