Chapter 11
**Preston**
Well let me introduce myself, my name is Preston Lucas George.
I have always wanted to be a musical idol but dad never agreed to it, he wanted me to join the family business.
So when I turned 18 I left home to build my career on my own, I only told Petra and Ariana about it and promised them to come back when the time is right, it’s been eight years now.
Just last week I was going through my phone and I saw my sister’s picture with the news of her engagement. I decided it was the right time to return, I got information on where she was staying and decided to surprise her… Well back to reality.
“By the way Petra how’s mum and dad? With my sweet Lucia?” I asked and she started crying.
“Let’s all sit down, we all are family so I guess it’s high time we tell each other what’s really going on” Ari said and we all sat down.
“Well Preston mom and dad died” Ari began the explanation because Petra started crying again.
“Two years later after you left home, Lucia turned out to be you, she always wanted to party” Ariana explained everything that happened with Petra still crying.
“It’s okay cutie” I stood up and hugged her.
“Lucia doesn’t hate you okay, she’s just too young to understand” I said, patting her.
Kate stood up and hugged us, “It’s okay I promise to be your mom”.
“Thanks ma’am” I said.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“You are getting married sis, tears will ruin your face and your baby won’t want to look at you” I said.
She smiled “I miss you silly” she said as I kissed her on her forehead.
**Ari**
“Well I guess it worked” I chipped in.
“What worked?” Preston asked.
“Well Petra wanted you to be the one that will walk her to the altar that’s why she updated about her wedding on the net”.
“She always watches your every show and she decided that if you didn’t turn up a week before her wedding, she will fly over there and make sure she drags you here” I said and everyone laughed.
“Well you said mom and dad earlier, are you guys related?” Liam asked.
“Well yes, actually I don’t know my parents, I stayed with an old woman in the same neighbourhood with Petra when I was young ”.
“When I was twelve she died and The George’s took me in and I became one of them. All the old woman told me was that she found me in a bush” I said.
“I don’t really care, my parents if they are alive didn’t care to find me”
“She saved me and since she didn’t have a child of her own she took care of me.. She only found this locket round my neck” I said bluntly, opening my purse and bringing out the locket and a bracelet with my name inscribed on it as Ariana M . M.
“Oh My Goodness!!” Kate screamed.
