It's been four days since I've read that letter and seen those disgusting monsters, i was in my room laying down with puffy eyes and uncontrollable tears would come out every second thinking about how i was stolen from my real parents, i heard the door open and close, i didn't bother looking knowing it was Toni, I heard the steps getting closer to the bed. "Layla?" I heard him.

I opened my eyes looking at him with my red puffy eyes sitting up. "I'm going to work, if you need anything call me." I nodded, and he grabbed his suit jacket walking towards the door, before he left he looked at me one more time then walked out of the room.

I sighed and laid back down, letting the tears that formed in my eyes fall down on my cheek, i heard my phone ring, i turned over and picked up my phone from the nightstand beside me reading the caller Id: mom, i shook my head and threw my phone across the room, i held onto my head crying. "I hate her, i hate him, i hate them." I cried.

I stood up and walked to the bathroom, going to the sink turning on the water splashing water on my face, i looked at myself in the mirror, admiring myself, i looked lifeless. i had black circles under my eyes, my eyes were super red, my nose was red also, i looked pale and skinnier.

I stripped out of my clothes and walked into the hot steaming shower, i felt more tears rushing down the more i wiped them away the more it would come out. After an hour of taking a shower i got dressed.

I dried my hair leaving my hair wavy and not doing my makeup, i grabbed my socks then slipped on my white converse on, i went towards the door and walked out shutting the door behind me, i went downstairs and saw Jennifer talking on the phone with someone. "No, thank you." Once she saw me and flashed me a smile. "I will talk to you later, bye." She ended the phone call and came towards me when i made it to the bottom of the stairs.

She held onto my forearm looking at me with sadness. "Are you okay?" She asked making tears form in my eyes, she sighed and pulled me into a hug. "I don't understand why they would do this." She rubbed my back, i wrapped my arms around her waist, i felt her kiss my head. "Shh its gonna be okay." I pulled away from her, she stared at me with tears in her own eyes, she brought her hand to my cheek wiping my tears away.

I rubbed my forehead. "I just don't understand why." my voice cracking, i heard footsteps behind me, i turned around to see Katherine running up to me pulling me into a hug.

I heard her sniff. "You don't deserve this." She pulled away, i closed my eyes feeling tears forming, the bell rang causing Katherine to groan. "Samantha can you please go open the door." She told the maid who was just staring at us with a concern face then nodded and walked towards the door.

She opened the door and the voice i never wanted to hear, was heard. "Where is my daughter?" I heard her say.

The maid glanced at me. "Miss, i'm sorry but your daughter doesn't want to see anyone right now." She made an excuse.

"No! I want to see her, she is my daughter, now move you maid." I heard her say with disgust, how doesn't she feel guilty? Calling me her daughter when i'm not, i saw the maid being pushed and then i saw the disgusting monster coming into the house without any respect.

She gave me a smile, but i just stared at her with a blank face, she walked up to me and pulled me into a hug but all i did was stand there. "Me and your father missed you." She pulled away smiling at me but when she looked at me closely she looked at me confused. "Layla, what's wrong? Why do you look like that? Did they do something to you? Are they hurting you?" She asked making Jennifer look at her in disbelief.

Jennifer was about to say something but i cut her off. "Since when do you care?" I asked with a cracked voice.

She cupped my face. "Since you are my daughter, that's why." Daughter? Hearing that word coming out of her mouth made me want to scream and cry.

I removed her hands from my face backing away from her. "Daughter? Your Daughter?" I repeated brokenly, she looked at me confused.

"Yes my daughter."

I felt tears form in my eyes, before i could say anything the second monster walked in. "Layla my beautiful daughter." He came up to me getting ready to pull me into a hug, but i backed away from them looking at them with tears.

They looked at me confused. "You Monsters!" I yelled, the both jumped in fear. "How dare you call me your daughter, i don't want to hear that word coming from your disgusting mouths." They looked at me with a blank expression. "Why would you guys do this?" I asked holding onto my head yelling at them.

Mary came up to me. "Honey, what are you talking about?" She asked acting like she doesn't know what i'm talking about.

I chuckled shaking my head. "Cut the act Mary!" She looked at me with wide eyes. "Is it that's why you guys treated me like crap?" Larry just stood there confused as ever. "How are you guys not feeling guilty?" I sobbed, Jennifer walked up to me and put her hand on my shoulder. "You guys disgust me! I can't even stand here look at your faces."

Larry walked up to me. "You are confusing us, tell us! what is going on?" I shook my head, trying to stop my tears but they wouldn't

I wiped my tears but new tears ran down my face. "You guys are disgusting human being that's what you both are! Money! It was all for money?! Is money that important to steal someone else's child?!" I yelled while sobbing, i couldn't stand anymore my legs felt weak and i couldn't hold myself anymore, i slowly fell down on my knees, crying my eyes out.

I felt someone wrap their arms around me, i opened my eyes to see myself in Jennifer's arms. "Could you please leave? You both have ruined this poor girl enough." Jennifer begged.

Mary shook her head. "Layla this is a lie! I'm your real mother, they are lying!" I hiccuped.

Katherine walked up to her. "Leave before i call the guards." She threatened.

But Mary and Larry stayed put. "I'm not leaving here, until this girl gets some sense in her brain." Larry said coldly.

I looked at the both of them. "If i'am your daughter then let's do a DNA test." I offered, they looked at me hesitant. "Leave! You dirty little liars!" I cried.

"We are not going anywhere because we aren't lyin-" They were cut off by the door slamming opened.

I looked up to see a angry Toni with his father. "What is going on here!?" Toni shouted as he walked up to them. "What are you doing here?" He asked them in disgust, he turned over and looked at me. "What did you do to her?" He came over to me taking me from his mom's arms and to his.

Jordan walked up to Larry. "Get out of here you two disgusting human beings!" He shouted pointing at the door.

Toni stood up with me in his arms, he looked at his mother, making her wrap her arms around me, Toni let go of me and walked up to the both of them. "Leave here and never come back! You aren't allowed in this house to see her! And if you get near Lori or her husband, i will make sure to put the both of you in jail, and this is not a threat it's a promise." They looked at him in shock then glanced at me.

"Get out!" Jennifer shouted, they both turned around and walked out of the house, once the door shut, i closed my eyes crying silently.

I need to leave this house for a few minutes, i need some time alone, i opened my eyes then ran towards the door opening it and running out, i ran towards the gate and before i exited the gate i heard everyone calling my name. "Layla!" Jennifer, Jordan and Katherine's voice appeared.

I didn't turn around, i exited the gate and ran somewhere i can be alone at, i felt the tears rolling down my face, all the memories of my childhood had came, they were treating me like their own daughter, but when i got older they treated me like their enemy, i felt myself collapse on the ground, my breathing became heavy, my cries got louder.

"WHY?!" I screamed on top of the hill my voice started to echo. "WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME!?" I looked up at the sky. "GOD HELP ME! I"M BEGGING YOU!" I cried harder losing my oxygen.

Lori...my poor mother and father suffered looking for me, they were threatened not to get near me by those disgusting monsters, i'm not even ready to face them but what about my father he is sick, and he wants to see me, i shook my head clutching onto my head hard. "ENOUGH! I"M TIRED! I"M TIRED OF EVERYTHING! I"M TIRED OF THIS STUPID LIFE! GOD PLEASE." I cried loud sobbing.

I felt some wrap their arms around me. "Shh, Layla." His voice was so soft unlike the other days when he would talk to me coldly.

I clutched onto his shirt tight. "I hate my life, i hate it so much! Maybe i do deserve all this torture." I cried into his chest.

"Hey, hey don't say that, you don't deserve any of this torture, don't ever say that again." He held me tight in his arms. "Do you want to go home?" He asked and i looked up at him and nodded.

We both stood up and he lead me to his car, he opened the passenger seat, i got in and he strapped my seat belt around me, he looked at me then moved away and shut the door, he ran on the other side opening the drivers seat getting in, he shut the door strapping his seat belt then turned on the car, before he drove he grabbed my hand. "Everything is going to be alright." He whispered then let go of my hand and drove off back home.

I opened my eyes and looked at the window to see we are entering the gate of the mansion, i sighed and sat up, once the car came to a stop, i unbuckled my seat-belt opened the door and got out, i turned around and looked at Toni who was on his phone texting someone, he walked towards me and stuck his phone in his pocket. "Let's get inside." He put his hand on my back as we walked towards the entrance.

He opened the door and we both walked in, Jennifer, Katherine and Jordan looked worried, Once their eyes landed on me, their face brightened and ran towards me, Jennifer pulled me into a tight hug. "Thank god you're okay." She whispered in my ear kissing my cheek as she pulled away.

Jordan put his hand in mine. "We were worried about you." I started to feel bad for making them worry.

I looked at all of them with teary eyes. "I'm sorry." They started at me with a pain expression. "I'm sorry for making you all worry." I turned around and walked upstairs to my room, once i made it inside i shut the door and walked towards the balcony door that was opened.

What should i do? Should i go see my real parents? But i'm not ready, i inhaled deeply then exhaled turning around walking into my room shutting the balcony door behind me, i looked up to see Toni standing there staring at me. "Lori said if you read the letter call her." He handed me a piece of paper.

I just stood their staring at the paper in his hand, but i'm not ready to talk to her. I know she is my real mother but i need some time to function all of this. I snapped out of my thoughts and hesitantly reached for the paper, once i took it in my grasp i looked down at it reading the number. "I'm not ready." I whispered.

He looked down at me. "Layla i get that you need time, but they really want to meet their daughter they never met, think about your father Layla he is sick." Toni said, making me rethink about my thoughts. "But its your choice." He shrugged.

I went over and sat on the bed, looking down at the paper, maybe he is right. I'm acting selfish my real parents who haven't even met me yet, really want to meet me and i keep letting my thoughts get in my way, i look up to see Toni already gone.

I guess i'll give her a call, i went over and grabbed my phone that i threw on the ground earlier, i dialed the number into the dialog, i bit my lip as i clicked call, i paced around the room as the phone was ringing.

Ring, Ring, Rin-

"Hello?" I heard a woman's voice, before i could talk tears started forming into my eyes. "Hello?" She repeated.

I tried calming myself down. "Hello." My voice cracked, i swallowed hard before talking again. "Is this Lori Montgomery?" I tried not to sob as the tears fell from my eyes.

I heard shuffling. "Yes, this is who is this?" She asked making me close my eyes wanting to end the call.

But i didn't, i didn't want to. "This is Layla." I said making her gasp.

I heard her laugh a little. "Layla, oh my god." She was happy that her daughter called her.

"I read the letter." I cried, i put my hand on my mouth, i didn't want her to hear me crying. "It hurts." I sobbed. "It hurts knowing those monsters took me from you." I cried louder, i fell to my knees with the phone still on my ear.

I heard her sniffing. "I know, i know Layla, please don't cry." She begged. " I don't want to hear you cry." She cried herself.

I sobbed louder, the door opened and i looked up to see Toni rushing in, he ran up to me and wrapped his arms around me, i handed him the phone because i couldn't talk anymore because of all these sobs, Toni unwrapped his arms around me and stood up talking to her on the phone, a few minutes he ended the call and came up to me helping me stand up and sat me on the bed. "I made her cry." I whispered staring into space.

Toni pulled me into his chest. "Shh, everything is gonna be okay." He whispered, i just held onto him tight as possible until a fell asleep in his arms.

I look down to see Layla asleep in my arms, i decided to lay her down so i picked her up bridal-style, the gently laid her down on her side of the bed, i put the duvet over her and turned around to leave but before i left i looked at her, staring at the broken girl, i sighed and walked out of the room shutting the door slowly so it wouldn't make any sound to wake up Layla.

I walked downstairs and into the living room to see everyone sitting there quiet. "She's asleep." I said as i sat down beside my mom, who looked like she was about to cry.

She sighed. "The poor girl was grown up in a lie." I saw a tears escape my mom's eyes. "Those disgusting monsters." I put my hand in hers.

"Mom, we have to get her though this, something can happen to her." Kat said, i looked at her and nodded in agreement.

I removed my hand from my mom. "She called Lori." Making everyone look at me. "She couldn't talk to her without crying." I said.

My mom stood up and walked towards my dad who had his head in his hands. "Of course she is gonna cry the poor girl talked to her mother she was token away from." My dad said picking his head up.

I felt my phone vibrating in my jean pocket, i sighed and took it out look down to see i got a message from Serena.

Serena:

Hey do you want to have some lunch?

I read the message and closed my eyes sighing, i couldn't leave Layla like that, 'Since when did you care about Layla?' my inside voice said.

'Would you shut up.' I said in my head.

'Whatever, just saying you are slowly falling for her' I sighed and ignored it.

Me:

Can't i have some family problem.

I put my phone in my pocket rubbing my hands together, i heard heels clicking i closed my eyes and groaned knowing exactly who is here. "Hey people." I heard my aunt Sara say.

I rubbed my forehead looking up at her and see Anna standing there next to her. "Not right now Sara." My mom said looking very annoyed.

Sara looked at us surprised. "What's going on here?" She asked flipping her hair.

My dad stood up and walked towards her. "Did you forget what happened yesterday?" He asked her.

She fluttered her eyelashes. "Oh right Layla's problem." Anna said before Sara could answer.

Sara looked at her. "Who cares its not our problem." She shrugged.

I looked at her in pure disgust. "How could you say that?" My mom stood up and walked towards her. "The poor girl suffered her whole life!" She yelled angrily.

Sara looked at my mom with a glare. "Who knows, she could be lying just to get some attention, this could be a set-up! Jennifer honey you fall for stuff so easily that's how stupid you are." Something inside of me just clicked.

"Enough!" Me and my dad yelled at the same time, my dad grabbed Sara's arm tight. "That's my wife you are talking about! You will respect her! I don't care if your my sister, i would always pick my wife over you anytime!" My dad argued.

Before Sara could say something she was cut off by a soft voice. "What's going on?" I turned to see Layla looking at us confused and sleepy.

Katherine was the first one to walk up to her, she smiled at Layla putting her hand on her shoulders. "Its nothing." Layla still didn't believe it.

Sara turned and looked at her. "Oh honey, we weren't talking about you at all." She said sarcastically. "Are you sure you didn't make up that letter yourself? Just to get attention." Layla looked at her in disbelief. "Oh honey, enough with the lies stop acting like you were kidnapped when you were a baby whatever you and your family are setting up will not work." Tears formed into Layla's eyes but she blinked them away.

Tears formed into my eyes as she said those things, why would i ever do this for attention, its not something funny to lie about, i blinked my tears away. I walked away from Katherine and towards her.

I shook my head. "I'm not the person that wants attention, and if i was lying i wouldn't be looking like this, looking lifeless as ever, do you know how much i've been through, you've been judging me since the day i entered this house and i'm tired of you! I'm tired of my life, i'm tired of everyone! I just want to die! I want to end my life right then and there" I cried, i was about to say something else but Toni cut me off.

"Layla!" He yelled out my name and walked up to me and pulled me into his arms. "Don't say that ever again." He put his chin on my head, i cried as hard as i could. "Shh." Trying to calm my crying down.

I heard Jennifer speak up. "Sara we don't need you to ruin this girl's life either, if you do one more thing to her, you will leave this house as soon as possible." She threatened.

I heard Sara laugh. "Like my brother would let that happen." She turned to Jordan who was staring at her with a smirk.

"Oh i would, when it comes to my wife, kids and daughter-in-law i would do anything!" He yelled, Sara looked at him in shock then walked off with Anna following close behind her.

Jennifer looked at me and came towards me stroking my hair. "Layla, I want to ask you something." I looked at her asking her to continue. "Layla would you like to meet Lori in person today?" She asked making me look at her nervously.

I looked down at my hands. "I-i do b-but not now, i'm not ready." I said with a cracked voice, she looked at me and nodded, Jordan walked up to me making me unwrap myself from Toni. "I'm sorry for Sara." He apologized.

I gave him a teary smile. "It's fine." My voice came out rough from all the crying I've been doing these past few days, he looked down at me and kissed my forehead. "I'm gonna go back to my room." Before i left the living room i turned around and looked at Toni. "Thank you." I whispered, he looked at me confused. "For everything." He looked down at his shoes and nodded.
