"You said what?"

"You are...."

"I heard that part, but how.....?"

"We suspected, the first day we met you, we thought it was a mistake, I mean there are other children named magic all over the world am sure.

When you were born we named you after a charactet from our favorite book,

About 6 months later you were kidnapped, your nursemaid took you away.

We searched for over 5 years but I had to stop because Maggie could not bear the pain anymore.

We.....".

I stagger back into a chair.

I mean I always thought my name magic was unusual, I just thought it was something in passing.

I never.....

"So you are saying my aunt and uncle are not my relatives?"

He shakes his head no.

"You are an Edo girl my love, we found out the people you were staying with were your kidnappers, your aunt she was your nursemaid"

I don't believe.

"But why, ? didn't they ask for a ransom?"

"We sent them a ransom many times, I believe they didn't know what to do that's why they never brought you to us"

I nod dimly.

My guardians were never my guardians.

I understand now, why my aunt always seems angry at me, never letting me talk to strangers, why my uncle found no qualms in ogling me.

I never felt like I belonged.

Until I met justice....

I glance at my husband then to George.

"Justice knew? They all knew?"

He nods.

"They all did, after the party I brought my suspicions to him, I mean you had silver eyes like Maggie's and Selene's, 

We did a DNA test, it came out positive, we did some investigatons, we found out that yes, your aunt and uncle we're indeed responsible for the kidnapp,

Am so sorry magic, am so sorry that you went through all that, we were devastated, we thought..."

I shake my head.

"Please leave"

I say and he pauses.

"I have to think about it, please I want to be alone"

He nods.

"I will be here for you my sweets, your mother is just beyond the door, she is in pain for your pain, baby girl"

I don't say anything and he exits.

I bring my leg to the chair and I wrap my hands around it in a ball.

They knew, they all knew and they never said anything.

I feel used.

Is that?......

Is that why Justice dated me?

Because am rich?

I feel tears come as everything I believe is tested.

What do I do?

********

2 weeks later.

I am painting on my pad as designs come.

I raise my head and I glance at justice.

He's still unconscious.

All his wounds are healed but he is still in a coma, the doctor said it's not unusual.

It's been two weeks.

It has been a hectic 2 weeks.

After my meltdown, I finally talked to George and Maggie.

I can't believe Selene and I are siblings.

Ugh 

Far be it for me to say her finding out was a success.

She made a big scene and called me some names that I haven't heard before in my life.

Mom just told her to shut up and she shouldn't forget that she is still on probation.

Apparently my elder sister does not like having a sibling.

It's nice getting to know my parents.

My former guardians has been sent to jail for kidnapping and maltreatment of a minor.

The gangster is still awaiting trial and Collins the gift sender is enjoying a six month imprisonment.

It hasn't been a dull two weeks that's for sure.

I spoke to the guys and they told me they kept it a secret under Justice's command.

Kele is overjoyed and she seems to believe I should ask for a private jet as some sort of welcome back home present.

I smile as I think this thoughts.

I miss my man.

I bend my head and I continue.

I miss Justice so much, I think as I paint.

"Mag..ic"

I can't believe am hearing voices, I shake my head.

"Itty...bitty"

I lift my head to see justice trying  to sit up.

I scream a little.

I fling my drawing pad down and I run to the bed.

"Don't move, don't move, I will get the doctor"

I make to turn away but he holds my arm in a surprisingly firm grip.

"Are you ok baby girl?"

He asks and I feel tears rush to my eyes.

Just like justice to ask about me when he is just waking from a coma.

I nod and he let's go.

I run out of the VIP room to the nurses station.

"Please get a doctor, my husband is awake"

"Yes Mrs Maxwells"

I run back to the room and I see he is unconscious again.

I feel like I dreamt the whole thing.

A doctor enters and I tell him.

"It's ok Mrs Maxwells, it's not unusual for them to loose strength and fall into a sleep ,

It's a progress that he is finally awake"

I nod my head in relief.

The doctor does some inspection before he exits.

I sit on a chair beside him and I rest my head on his arm.

God.

Thank you. 

A/N

People it's coming to an end, wanna specially appreciate All of you guys.

I love you all.
