secrets of the past.

Her dad Javier didn't want anything to do with Franky, and he didn't want to force Kierra into anything that she didn't want to do, so she passed the phone to Kierra to let her choose of her own free will, but that wasn't a smart idea. For the first time, Kierra felt power into her hand, and Franky was about to catch a side of her she'd never seen.

"Hello"

"Hi, how are you."

"Am good."

"So you heard the news."

"What news "

"I need your signature so I can come to visit and finally we will be together."

Kierra was waiting for this moment forever, she wanted for them to be a family, but she was in the other room listening to frank threatening her father that she knew that this woman was a cold-hearted bitch. She also heard that Franky wasn't her mother, but she wanted to listen to it from her, so she tried to rattle her cage

"Oh really so why did you threaten my father to give me the phone."

Her father was surprised; she was seventeen now there was no way he was getting out of this predicament so quickly as if she was still five years old.

"Kierra"

Screamed her father hearing the tone in his daughter's voice, she pauses placing the phone on speaker

"No dad, she was never there, and I don't ever ask for much, but both of you are feeding me lies, and today I call bs."

She thought about cursing, but she knew better, her father looked surprised

"I will let you finish."

He exists out of the room

"K"

Exclaimed the women on the other line.

"No, you don't."

She exclaimed furiously

"the only grandmother gets to call me that at least she cared"

Next thing she knew Franky brought out her claws ready to fight

"Listening here, princess, if your so call dad is listening I don't give a fuck."

Kierra was amazingly surprised by Franky's choice of words; she took the phone out she hears

"What did this bitch just say."

Kierra was pissed at this point, and honestly, she didn't care, as she placed the phone back to hear

She asked

"What do you mean so-called dad."

"You want some true and cold reality I suggest you sit the fuck down because if it wasn't for me and Javier you wouldn't be shit, as a matter of fact, you still ain't shit, so I suggest you sign them fucking papers if you know what's good for you."

"Am not scared of you."

"You should because you aren't my child yet my name remain on your birth-certificate why do you think that is out of love you slow excuse of a daughter."

"What did you just say."

"Ask your dad because I am tired of covering for his bullshit."

At that moment Kierra's heart froze over, she didn't know what to believe, but she knew she needed answers, as Franky rambled on on the phone.

"You know what."

She pauses not caring what comes out next

"Go find yourself, then fuck you."

She hung upright in the middle of their feud. In a state of shock, her hand was shaking, and she was crying, so she went to Find the only person that could ease her pain her grandmother. she ran into her arm

"is it true?"

She asked, and Her grandmother took her into her arms

"Hey, what's going on."

"Franky"

"You mean mommy, frank."

"Why do you care if I call her that."

"Because her name is on your birth certificate."

"So what she's no mother to me."

"Did you know?"

"Know what that am not his"

Her grandmother pause at that statement replying

"I knew."

" And you didn't say anything "

" It wasn't my place. "

"Am not his, am not yours I don't belong anywhere."

" don't say that We may not be related but blood doesn't make a family action does

I love you, and I will forever."

Rubbing her hand through her head

"Would you like to come live with me from now on?"

"I can't."

"Yes you can, you are seventeen, you have your papers, and neither your dad nor Franky would ever take that away from you."

She hugged her tighter

"Trust me; you will be OK."

Kierra worked harder than the rest of her family ever did because she wasn't one of them; she had to continually prove to herself and anybody else that she wasn't broken.

A couple of years ago, she urged her grandparents to help her track her parents. They did the best that they could, but all they found was a three-year-old without a family, she wanted to make a difference and asked her grandmother to care for him. At first, they were reluctant, but she assured them that in three years she was about to graduate from college, she wanted to find a job, and she wanted to provide for him. Sebastian took to her ever since, and now they were practically inseparable. She wasn't sure why her parents gave her up since birth, but in him, she saw her real family.

She knew it was selfish to forget what the Johnson has done for her, but she knew that she wasn't the same without knowing where she belongs on earth.

It was mothers day, and She was taking her baby brother Sebastian to his soccer game, he was five and looked like he was her son. Sebastian was a miracle child, and he was born before the tragic accident of her blood parents; that's when she met Alex.

Sebastian needed to bring His mother to his game, and later on, they should unravel their presents. The kids were playing an early game and later on ate dinner as they pass on their gift that they brought two weeks ago at the school fair. Sebastian didn't have a mother, he was embarrassed by the other kids, but he knew that Kierra was everything to him. He was Playing the field for the first time, as Kierra cheered his named the loudest When he scored a goal.

Kierra was so happy that she jumped for joy

"I did it

Mom, I did it"

He called her mom, and Kierra stood in shock as he rushed to her side taking her into a hug

'What just happened.'

She thought to rub his back as a voice brought her back

"Is he yours?"

Kierra thought she heard voices until she turned to her left and saw a Brod shoulder, green eyes, six foot ten with creamy caramel skin staring in her direction.

"Oh"

He smiled pointing in the kid's direction

"Sebastian isn't it."

maybe she imagined it, but his smile was so unbelievably bright that She blinked responding

"yes, I..."

Shaking her head and clearing her eyes

"I mean, no."

Their eyes meant as she realizes what a handsome beau he was

"I mean we're family, am his sister."

"But he just called you.."

"Mom"

She cuts him off

"I know what he said; it means a lot since our parents past "

" Am sorry."

"Don't be we're doing just fine."

"So were your kid."

"Right here."

She turned seeing that he pointed to the other team's goalie

"Oh, the other team."

And they started laughing

"I know, right."

"she's great."

" I've heard a lot about you from Your brother am Alex."

He reaches his hand toward Kierra for a proper greeting

"I've never seen you here before."

"Kierra"

She took his hand into hers

"Its mothers day, he never needed me this much"

Alex held her hand longer than expected; he came closer to her trying to win her gaze

"It's beautiful."

"Excuse me."

Kierra wasn't known to guys courting her and Alex wasn't any different, and he was like the rest of the guys. She met his gaze anticipating his next move when he clarifies his motive.

"What you are doing for your brother."

"thank you."

"It might be too forward of me but what are you doing later."

"Why do you ask."

"Our kids are best friends."

Sebastian often spoke of a little girl his age that he seems to be fascinated with, Kierra never paid attention much but when she heard that her name was also Kierra she was in the moment fascinated by the fact.

"She's the other Kierra"

with a smile she replied

"I know, right."

"So you weren't kidding when you said you heard a lot about me."

"No I wasn't that's all Sebastian would talk about when he has a chance."

"Of course that makes sense."

"What was that"

"That makes sense why he called me mom, that's to impress her."

"Should I be scared?"

"Ah, ah ah."

She echoed, and Alex followed

'Charming' she thought as she touches his arm realizing how muscular he is, more so than James. She licks her lips in her fantasy; her hormones were running wild as She places her thought aside. she cleared her throat

"He's a sweetheart; he adores her."

"This might be too forward, but what are you doing later on."

"After this, nothing."

"I have a fundraiser to attend would you like to join us."

"Us"

"Yes me and kc over there."

"Kc uh."

She said fascinated

"We'll yes Kierra Leyi Cromwell; you can't both be Kierra am outnumbered here how would we know who am talking to."

"That's good."

"So will you do me this honor of being my guest?"

She thought about joining him, then again she had to cancel a prior engagement with James, so she left him wondering

"Well one thing at a time, why don't you give me the address and we will see."

"OK, would you like my number, or I can have yours."

"If I didn't know any better id say you're flirting."

Just being friendly."

He took her hand in his once again gaining her attention kissing the back of her hand slowly

" what's wrong with that."

"Nothing I supposed."

She was thinking ' James going to kill me if I say yes, he'll probably kill you too but either way that's your funeral.'

"What's your number."

Just then the crowd of parents cheered the loudest; the game was over

"We've missed a lot."

He exclaimed

"What "

"The game is over."

He took her phone placing his number

"But here."

"I will see you.."

"Soon"

She was about to say later, but that will do
