Four Hours Later:
"Do you want to go?"
Shekinah asked quietly.
"I know you never could have imagined this, but this is part of me. I am of royal blood, and everything I have ever done was to help me. I know I should have told you, but I didn't know how. Besides, you wouldn't have believed me if I told you that I was the head of one of the biggest families in the world. I know you don't want me to go but think about all I could do with that money."
"You guys could build a new house, the kids could go to that big private school you wanted them to go to, they could all do any sports or arts they wanted to do. I would give you the best lives that money can buy. You wouldn't have to work ever again, and you can do whatever you want. I would get you servants and drivers and anything you could ever imagine. Please let me go. I will miss you all so much, but I will be able to help you. I will come to visit and call every day. I promise. But you have to trust me."
Her eyes were pleading as she spoke.
"You can go."
With tears in his eyes, Robert hugged her as spoke.
"You have to promise you will call every day and visit often."
"Of course dad!"
Nodding against his chest, her mother wrapped her arms around her as she cried.
"So can we have our Snowbaby back?"
The twins peeked into the room with hopeful looks on their faces.
"I wonder what kind of uniforms I will have to wear when I go to Legacy Elite?"
Kyo Seolju seemed puzzled and her voice curious as she mischievously grinned.
"Yes!"
They shouted as they ran to hug her.
"We are finally going to have our Snow Baby back!"
"I hope we made the right decision."
Gazing at the siblings, Shekinah mumbled while Robert hugged her tightly.
"Mom, Dad! We're home!"
Kyo SeolJu's sisters came running into the house, but stopped when they saw her brothers and grandfather.
"Dad, some guys are kidnapping Mar!"
Her first sister, Joy, panicked. Deciding to play along with Joy's wild imagination Kyo Seolju squealed and struggled,
"Joy, take the kids and run! You can't let them take you too! Ow! You! Let me go!"
"You think we would let such a pretty little girl go?"
Kyo Ryuji scoffed, stroking her face gently.
"Let Marie go!"
"Give back, Marie!"
"Put her down!"
The girls yelled and hit the twins and Grandpa Kyo with their fits. Finally, Kyo SeolJu could handle it anymore and burst into a fit of laughter.
"I am sorry! It was my fault! These are my brothers and grandfather. They are here to visit me. They would never hurt me!"
Wiping away the tears in her eyes, Kyo SeolJu explained, panting happily.
"We don't have big brothers, and he is not our grandpa."
Her second sister Grace scoffed, rolling her eyes.
"Never mind. They're staying with us for the night. So all of you must be polite."
Getting up from the couch, Robert's strong voice held no room for argument with Shekinah at his side.
"Yes, sir."
The girls replied in unison.
"Who are they?"
Kyo Ryuji asked, lightly pulling on Kyo SeolJu's hair.
"They are my mom's and Robert's kids."
She whispered for the twin's ears only. While they nodded in understanding she continued,
"Joy is seven, Grace is five, Faith is three, and Gabriel is four months."
When Kyo SeolJu spoke their names, the girls would wave to show which one they were. Including Kyo SeolJu, there were five kids. The three girls had light brown or blond hair and bright hazel-green eyes, Kyo SeolJu was the exception.
"Wow, they look just like your mom and dad."
Holding Kyo SeolJu tighter, Kyo Ryuji's eyes held amazement and sorrow for his baby sister, who was beautiful but was clearly the black sheep of the family.
"Yup! I look nothing like them. I am most definitely your sister!"
They laughed as she scrunched up her nose.
