Part 2 of 3<\/div>\n

\u201cLeave right now,\u201d Chief Briggs ordered. \u201cShe is my daughter,\u201d my father said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, she is the victim,\u201d the chief replied. There was silence, and then my dad burst out laughing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you believe her lies?\u201d Gregory asked. \u201cI have six witness statements, a 911 call, and a neighborhood camera that recorded everything,\u201d the chief said.<\/p>\n

My mother was completely speechless. Then Melanie whispered something, and my father answered loudly enough for everyone to hear.<\/p>\n

\u201cDelete the footage,\u201d Gregory said. The chief replied immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for saying that in front of three police officers,\u201d Chief Briggs said. I heard handcuffs clicking shut, my mother screaming, and Melanie crying.<\/p>\n

My father yelled that it was all just a big misunderstanding. As they were taking them away, an old voice spoke up in the hallway.<\/p>\n

\u201cI waited twenty-six years to see someone stop Gregory Davis,\u201d the old man said. I looked toward the door and saw the same man from the window.<\/p>\n

He had a cane and an old leather briefcase. He was looking right at me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is time you knew who I really am,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

PART 3<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

The hallway became completely quiet. My father, handcuffed, turned around before they put him in the elevator.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t go near her!\u201d Gregory yelled. The old man did not move, he just replied with deep sadness.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been gone too long,\u201d he said. The elevator doors closed, and my family\u2019s voices disappeared.<\/p>\n

For the first time in my life, nobody was yelling at me or blaming me for existing. Chief Briggs came back inside.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know him?\u201d the chief asked. I shook my head slowly.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d I said. The old man took off his cap, showing white hair and hands deformed by arthritis.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cMy name is Harvey Berry,\u201d he said. That name meant nothing to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was your grandfather Walter\u2019s best friend,\u201d Harvey explained. My heart stopped because my grandfather died before I was born.<\/p>\n

In my house, nobody spoke about him except to say he was stubborn. \u201cHe used to call me his brother,\u201d Harvey said.<\/p>\n

He took an old photograph out of his briefcase. Two young men covered in sawdust were laughing next to a half-built cabin.<\/p>\n

One was my grandfather Walter, and the other was Harvey. \u201cYour grandfather was not a harsh man, he was good, too good for his family,\u201d Harvey said.<\/p>\n

I swallowed hard. \u201cMy parents never told me about you,\u201d I murmured.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey couldn\u2019t because Gregory made sure I was out of your lives,\u201d Harvey said. Wyatt stood by my bed, keeping his hand on the rail.<\/p>\n

Harvey looked at him. \u201cStay, young man, you need to hear this too,\u201d Harvey told him.<\/p>\n

He sat down with difficulty and opened his briefcase again. \u201cWhen your mother got pregnant with you, Walter built a maple wood crib with his own hands,\u201d Harvey said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe sanded it and carved stars on the sides because he said his first granddaughter would bring light to the house,\u201d the old man shared. My eyes burned with tears.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened to that crib?\u201d I asked. Harvey looked down at the floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cGregory burned it,\u201d Harvey said softly. Wyatt squeezed my hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy?\u201d Wyatt asked. \u201cBecause Gregory said a baby girl did not deserve that much effort,\u201d Harvey answered.<\/p>\n

The silence in the room felt very heavy. \u201cWhen you were born, Walter held you for an hour and cried tears of joy,\u201d Harvey said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said you would change the history of the family, but Gregory wanted a son,\u201d Harvey explained. \u201cAnd when Melanie was born three years later, he decided she was the daughter he would be proud of,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Melanie was not a son either,\u201d I said. \u201cIt didn\u2019t matter because Gregory always believed Melanie should have been born first, and he blamed you for taking her place,\u201d Harvey clarified.<\/p>\n

I felt like I could not breathe properly. For years I thought I did something wrong, that I was just a difficult and selfish child.<\/p>\n

But my only mistake was arriving first. Harvey took out a package of old envelopes tied with a blue ribbon.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour grandfather wrote these for you,\u201d Harvey said. My name was on each envelope in nice handwriting: Sadie Davis.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe asked me to give you a letter on every birthday, but I couldn\u2019t because Gregory threatened to ruin my life if I came near you,\u201d Harvey confessed. I touched the first envelope with shaking fingers.<\/p>\n

My grandfather had loved me before I even knew what rejection felt like. \u201cI kept them all safe for twenty-six years,\u201d Harvey said.<\/p>\n

I could not stop crying, and Wyatt wept quietly beside me too. Chief Briggs looked down to give us some privacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is something else,\u201d Harvey said. He pulled out a small brass key with a leather tag.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat does it open?\u201d I asked. \u201cA safety deposit box that Walter rented six months before he died, leaving instructions because he knew you would need the truth one day,\u201d Harvey explained.<\/p>\n

Before I could ask more, Chief Briggs stepped forward. \u201cSorry to interrupt, but we have big news,\u201d the chief said.<\/p>\n

His face looked completely shocked. \u201cThe Prosecutor\u2019s Office searched your parents\u2019 house, and we found files inside your father\u2019s desk,\u201d Chief Briggs revealed.<\/p>\n

Wyatt frowned. \u201cFiles of what?\u201d Wyatt asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cFiles about you, Wyatt,\u201d the chief confirmed. My stomach turned with a sick feeling.<\/p>\n

The chief checked his notes to read the details. \u201cPhotographs, schedules, addresses, articles about the sale of your company, and notes tracking your movements,\u201d Chief Briggs listed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were stalking us,\u201d Wyatt realized. \u201cYes, for months,\u201d the chief said, then he paused.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also found handwritten notes,\u201d the chief added. \u201cWhat did they say?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n

The chief read the notes aloud. \u201cOne says, \u2018If Sadie is no longer an option, Wyatt will end up seeing Melanie,’\u201d Chief Briggs read.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother says, \u2018Appearance matters, so if Sadie\u2019s face changes, he will understand which sister is worth more,’\u201d he finished. The whole room went completely cold.<\/p>\n

It was never an accident or a quick argument. They sat down together and planned it.<\/p>\n

My mother, my sister, and my father talked about my face like it was just a problem they could fix with a brick. Suddenly, a nurse came in with a phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cMiss Davis, there is a call for you from the detention center, but it is not from your parents,\u201d she said. I took the phone with a shaking hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello?\u201d I whispered. I heard heavy breathing and crying on the line………………………<\/p>\n
