The Truth Comes To Light

NOTE: Emma's POV

I watched as Jeff drove off and fell to the ground. I began crying. I was innocent and hadn't robbed him but how would I convince him? I got up and went back to the hotel. As I lay on the bed, I cried. Jeff had insulted me and said he wished I hadn't been given birth to. I didn't know why I felt so heartbroken. I admit that I had been cruel to him but it didn't mean or prove I was the robber. I needed to clear my name but to do that, I had to catch the robber.

I was thinking of what next to do when I remembered something very important. I remembered sneaking into his studio and placing a security camera in his office where the safe was so I could watch him as he worked, discover his secrets and use it against him. I had placed it where no one would find it. Sometimes, I would watch him as he worked and laugh at how he yelled at almost all his back up singers. That means that my camera had probably caught the thief but he or she didn't know.

I immediately went to the monitor and checked the footage around the time the robbery was committed. My jaw dropped when I saw the thief. It was Mr Walker. That disgusting man was the thief. Because Jeff had ruined his business, he sought revenge by stealing half of Jeff's funds. I immediately transferred it into a tape and drove to Jeff's house. Instead of seeing Jeff, I saw a tall beautiful woman standing at the door. I cleared my throat and began " Good afternoon. I am looking for a man named Jeff. I know he lives here.Please, can you take me to him?"

She burst into laughter and said "Wow Emma! After stealing, you come back here. To do what? Get out of here before I call the police on you." "Excuse me! Who are you?", I asked furiously. "And how do you know my name?", I asked looking confused. She chuckled and said "You moron! Didn't your brother tell you? I am his fiancee, Tricia." I knew this woman was nothing but trouble. "I need to see Jeff.", I said coldly. She smiled and said "But he doesn't want to see you. He said you should never show your disgusting face to him again so leave before I call security." This woman was mean. I wasn't going anywhere till I spoke to Jeff. I tried to enter the house and pushed her away from the door, but she pulled my hair and slapped me HARD.

I held my cheek and began sobbing. Before I could get up, she gave me a second slap and pushed me to the ground. The tape flew out of my hand and she made to step on it but I grabbed it in time but instead she stepped on my hand. That hurt. I began crying and she called security to grab me and said "That is for all the trouble you've caused. Because of you, Jeff left me here all alone and came to New York just to look for you. You made him sad and depressed all because of your quest for revenge. Jeff doesn't want a useless sister like you so leave. You don't deserve a home or a brother. You are nothing but a witch and a thief. You and your adoptive parents are the same. Stupid, cruel, useless and like to keep family members apart. Now, get out of my sight you stupid rodent.

The security threw me out of the gate and I began crying and screaming. I would not give up so easily. I called Ian and we met at a cafe. When I told him everything Tricia had done and the robber, he was furious. We went to Jeff's studio and played the tape. He was shocked to see I was telling the truth. He immediately submitted the tape to the police and the search for Walker began. I went back to my hotel and packed my bags. I was going back to New York. I called Ian and he tried to discourage me but my mind was made up. I boarded a plane and arrived in eight hours. My adoptive parents were waiting for me there because I had called them.

When they saw me step out of the plane, they ran to hug me and once at home, I told them everything. Mrs Daisy was angry and said "That stupid Jeff still didn't learn his lesson. How dare he?". I hugged her and decided that I would cut all ties with Jeff. I wouldn't plot revenge anymore but I would just ignore and forget him...
