Chapter 133- Unveiled Secrets
When I first looked at the picture I just carelessly looked at it without paying attention to details, but now that I look at it, I was being covered with a blue baby wrap and I had the cross necklace on my neck and the surrounding of the picture looked like I was still in the hospital, there was a hand touching me that looked like the hand of a woman.
Was she my mother?
Could it be…no, that's not possible.
I think back to the picture of when I was brought to the orphanage and I was the same, I was still a baby. Did they give me away?
I'm so confused right now.
I took the necklace and kept looking at it. It wasn't big enough to go around my neck because I guess they made it to my size when I was a baby. For some reason I found myself wrapping it around my wrist.
This is crazy.
I kept looking at the picture over and over again.
How do I use this to trace my real identity? How do I even start?
Who even got a hold of this? I'd like to know who this person is then I'd be able to get answers to some of my questions.
How was this person even able to get into my house?
I'd have to look at the security cameras maybe I'll find something, whoever this person was couldn't have just gotten through security without being noticed.
I took the box and put back the picture and baby cloth, leaving the necklace on my wrist as I stood up and walked to my room.
I was already stressed enough in the office, I couldn't let anything stress me right now, I didn't want to go crazy.
I opened my room door and walked inside, closing it behind me as I walked into my closet.
I brought out my phone and took pictures of the box and everything inside and then I opened my safe and kept it inside.
I'll have to look into this, that's the only way I'll get rest.
I walked out of my closet to my bathroom as I removed the clothes I was wearing and dumped them in my laundry basket, if only I could just dump my problems in there like that.
I got under the shower as I turned the water on and immediately the water hit my skin, I sighed in bliss.
It's been such a long day, from one thing to another.
I walked out of the shower and dried my body with a soft towel as I wrapped the towel around my waist and walked out.
I quickly got dressed for bed, choosing to wear a black short and white shirt then I walked to bed feeling exhaustion go through my body as I climbed on my bed.
I couldn't help but think back to the box I received as I tried to go to sleep.
Maybe I had a family out there, maybe not.
I pushed the thought to the back of my mind as I tried to sleep but just then my phone started ringing.
Who did I offend? I groaned as I stretched my hand to my bedside table and picked my phone.
“ Hello," I said,
“ Hardin sorry to call at such an hour, but please send a message to all the board member, there would be an emergency board meeting tomorrow, someone has been stealing from us," she said,
“ Really? Who?" I asked as I sat up in bed,
“ You'll find out tomorrow, good night Hardin," she said before the call ended,
Wow.

ARIANA'S POV
I had to take the work I couldn't finish in the office home and I noticed that the financial reports sent to me weren't correlating with the ones I approved.
I had to go over them over and over again, and I wasn't wrong.
I know it would be wrong to accuse someone without solid proof so I started digging back to previous reports and I found out that the same thing has been happening.
How the hell didn't they notice this?
I couldn't help but scrunch my brows in confusion. Were they all turning a blind eye to the fact that huge sums of money keep getting missing? It didn't make sense.
I looked through all the transaction records several times and I found out where the money had been going.
I would never have guessed that he had a hand in something like this.
They all would bring that money or be ready to go to prison.
My grandpa isn't going to build a company for anyone to come stealing from him. I won't allow it.
I had called Hardin and when he picked I almost forgot why I called because of his sleepy voice but I had to immediately force myself back to reality because there were bigger things to deal with than getting turned on by his voice.
I turned off my computer as I closed for the night then I stood up with a stretch.
I was beyond tired, I rubbed my temple in exhaustion and instead of walking to bed, I walked out of my room heading to the kitchen.
It was late but I needed a cup of coffee to calm my head.
I was surprised when I found out that there was someone in the kitchen,
“ Sasha? You're still up?" I asked and she turned to me as I saw her holding a jar of peanut butter and I couldn't help but laugh,
“ I don't get to eat this everyday so when I crave it, I just come get it,” she said,
“ Yeah, perks of being a model," I said and she chuckled,
I walked to the coffee maker as I made my coffee then I leaned on the kitchen counter as I slowly sipped from my coffee cup.
“ You, why are you still up?" she asked,
“ Just finished some work and I needed to calm my head," I said,
“ Wow , this late?" she asked and I just shrugged,
“ Well, you're strong, what can I say? The plan was to drop this goodness but I think I'll take it to my room, goodnight Ariana," she said as she kissed my cheeks before walking away with the peanut butter like it was her lover. I couldn't help but laugh at the sight.
The kitchen became quiet and my thoughts went back to the discovery I just made.
If they thought this could stay hidden forever without anyone noticing then they should prepare for me tomorrow.
Tomorrow, they're all going to provide that money and I don't care how
