“Where are we going, Marian? Three–and–a–half–year–old Yvonne asked, her lile legs struggling to keep up with Marian’s long strides.

It was six in the morning, and the orphanage was quiet, like everyone was still asleep.

But not these two–already dressed and heading straight for the farthest corner of the orphanage.

A few minutes later, Yvonne came to a stop, glanting back at the orphanage with uncertainty written all over her face. “Marian, I wanna go back. Mrs. Harrison said Mr. Yates is coming today to take me home”

Marian, who’d been walking ahead, slowed and turned to look at Yvonne. She gently grabbed the little girl’s hand, her eyes soft as she gazed at Yvonne’s inocent, worried expression.

But there was something darker in her gaze–something far beyond her years. “Didn’t you say you lost your necklace! It’s in that little shed up ahead. I’ll help you find it.

Yvonne hesitated, but Marian wasn’t having it. Without waiting for an answer, she grabbed Yvonne’s hand and rugged her

forward

She urged. “Come on, that necklace… it was from your real parents, right? And Mr. Yates loves you. He’ll wait. He’s not going anywhere.

Before Yvonne could protest, she was being practically dragged toward the shed.

The shed was pitch black. When the door creaked open, a cloud of dust exploded into the air, making it almost impossible

to see.

Yvonne wrinkled her nose at the musty smell, clearly uncomfortable. She looked over her shoulder, still unsure. “Marian are you sure my necklace is in here?”

Marian didn’t answer. Instead, she shoved Yvonne into the shed without warning, making her stumble forward.

“Marian” Yvonne hit the ground hard, her big eyes wide with disbelief as she watched the door slam shut in front of her

Scrambling to her feet, Yvonne pounded on the door and screamed, “Marian, please, let me out! Mr. Yates is coming to take me home today!”

Outside, Marian expressionlessly locked the door, ignoring the frantic cries, and walked away without a second thought

A little while later, Marian checked her pocket. She felt something hard in there.

When she pulled it out, it was a purple necklace. The gems were perfectly cut, sparkling like stars in the night sky.

Even Marian, who wasn’t the sentimental type, could tell this thing was way more than just a random piece of jewelry

She shoved it back into her pocket and, by the time she made it to the playground, the sky was fully lit up.

A couple of volunteers were hanging out in the corner, gossiping and whispering,

“Yvonne’s so damn lucky, huh? The Yates family isn’t just rich–they actually seem like decent people.”

“Yeah, she’s gonna be a Yates princess now.”
