Ryan’s mum was taken into a different room alone for a while, I just paced up and down, I was named after her sister who was kidnapped too. I didn’t even hear Ryan calling my name from the side until I looked up at him, I walk over where he holds my hands in his.
“You’re doing so great” he smiles, but I shake my head I don’t know if I can do this anymore.
“Ryan I’m named after her kidnapped sister, I was also kidnapped,” I say, but he doesn’t listen and kept going on about how great I was doing “dude can’t you see how weird that is?” I ask, which makes him finally stop to answer the question.
“No I can’t, mum named you after her missing sister, that doesn’t mean anything it just shows that mum misses her little sister,” he says, I knew he was gonna say something like that but I shake my head.
“Yes we might know that, but Racheal’s lawyer is gonna try to twist it, I don’t know how I’m gonna defend them,” I say he looks me in the eyes.
“You can do this look how far you’ve come already, I’m only there, if you need me I’ll run passed that guard and help you,” he says as his mother walks back through the door, he places a kiss on my lips as the judge calls the court back in order.
I take my seat back at the table, but I wasn’t sat there for long.
“I want to call Savannah Wilson to the stand,” her lawyer man says, which makes me whip my head around to Ryan who sent me a reassuring smile.
I slowly get up from my seat and walk to the stand, feeling everyone’s eyes on me, I kept eye contact with Ryan until the lawyer guy starts asking me questions.
“Should I call you Savannah or Yasmin?” He asks, leaning up against the table with a smile.
“Well you called Savannah to the stand, you should probably call me that,” I say sending me a smile, he shakes his head walking over to me.
“For the majority of your life you thought Mr and Mrs Wilson were your parents, is that correct?” He asks, again how did he ever get this job?
“Starting it simple, yes I did,” I say, my eyes going over to them with a little smile.
“When was it you discovered that wasn’t true?” He asks, walking around the courtroom.
“When I found my mate on my sixteenth birthday,” I say, my eyes locking with Ryan who sends me a wink and a smile.
“Your mate being their son,” he says, I nod resting my head on my hand it was really boring “sorry am boring you?” He asks, trying to catch me off guard.
“Yeah,” I say bluntly nodding.
“The day they got arrested, you and your mate were nowhere to be seen, where were you?” He asks, yes now he’s asking good questions.
“Well we got a phone call from his parents saying we had to leave and couldn’t come back, so we just went to stay with a friend until we thought it was safe,” I say, which makes me realise how we actually haven’t spoken with them since we left.
“What made you come back?” He asks, which I actually made me have to think about that question.
“Well I went to see this guy that could help me find my real parents, he ended up telling me I was the lost princess and he knew he’d get an award for finding me, so Ryan and I left, we still didn’t know if someone bad was trying to find us so we didn’t want to risk it,” I say smiling, this was easy kind of
“Now back to Ryan’s parents, how well did they look after you?” He asks crossing his arms, he really thinks he’s something.
“Amazing I had the best childhood”I smile looking over at Ryan’s parents who were smiling “I mean it must say something, what would you do if you found out the people who you thought were your parents actually aren’t?” I ask, crossing my arms copying what he was doing.
“I’m not the one answering the questions” he laughs looking back, but I didn’t care.
“Well, most people probably wouldn’t want anything to do with them, but these people raised me made me the person I am today, whatever happens they’re still my parents, I’m just lucky enough to have two incredible sets of parents” I smile looking up at my real parents, who sent me a smile.
“No further questions,” he says sitting down, I smile walking back off the stand that shut him up but I wasn’t finished.
“I would like to call Racheal to the stand,” I say sitting on the table, she gives her lawyer a look slowly walking up to the stand.
“Now I’m just gonna jump into it cause this is taking so long, you never liked the princess did you?” I ask, still having to say the princess and not me.
“I’ve never said that,” she says not looking over at me, I smile walking around the room.
“Yes you have on multiple occasions, when you got arrested you said you never liked her anyway and the night you gave her away you said you just wanted to get rid of her,” I say looking directly at her smiling, but I didn’t let her speak “I mean Jessie you’re soon to be ex-husband, spent hardly any time with your son Justin when the princess was born, I bet that annoyed you to see your husband spending time with a kid that wasn’t even his, I bet that really upset Justin didn’t it,” I say walking to stand directly in front of her, I knew what I was doing “when I came back all the memories and feelings came back too didn’t they, and I’m guessing Jessie started spending more time with me again and forgot your son, all the hard work you put in to get rid of me didn’t work, cause I’m back and I’m never leaving again, “I say right up into her face but went back quickly, as she got up to hit me.
“It’s true! I hated you ever since I saw you! You know what when I gave you to them I hoped they would just dump you somewhere to die! then I’d never have to see you again! Just watch when I get my hands on you” she shouts but guards held her back from hitting me, but I had a smirk on my face.
“No further questions” I smile walking back to the table with Ryan’s parents, “I think I’ve just got you off,” I say quietly to them Ryan’s mum holds my hand smiling.
