Elysia explained everything that had gone down earlier, her voice tinged with frustration. “Dad, isn’t this my home? Aren’t you and Mom truly my parents?”

Scott furrowed his brow. What are you talking about? This is your home, and we are your parents.”

“Mary, take Elysia to her room,” Scott commanded.

“Yes, Mr. Rosewood Mary bowed respectfully and then turned to Elysia. “Please come with me, Ms. Elysia Rosewood.”

Elysia walked behind Mary until they reached a small room on the second floor of the villa. “This is your room,” said Mary.
