Chapter 6

Lies. Deceit. Murder. Suffering. Is that what Laura and maybe my future grandchildren will think of me. I've already noticed the change in little Laura when she heard. The scared child who had found out for the first time that Santa Claus isn't real. That one of the people she trusts in this world is not who she thought she was. This one day, today that has changed this family yet again. For what? That a twisted woman could get her revenge.

"Look Mom, Calm down. It's over and done with now, it can't be changed. And at least we've found out why she decided to speak out like that."

"Sweetheart you even know that it is a crappy reason for doing it. You split up with her son and she tell the truth to her after keeping silent for the last 5 years. This is all Vaughn's fault."

"You can't blame it all on him Mom. There is other factors to be taken into this."

"Sydney he is on of the central factors like it or not. Laura is his daughter and he is William Vaughn's son.

"Still he can't be blamed for the whole situation."

"Sydney, stop protecting him. That Man cheated on you for god's sake. He doesn't deserve to have any sympathy of you."

Sydney turned away and started out of the window. The horrible moment floating back to her.

"Mom, you know he changed a few years ago after.."

"I knew sweetheart it affected us all, but it's not good enough to been even linked to Claudia's reasoning. That she spoke out to protect him"

"Is this what you want to hear? Claudia Vaughn is an evil sadistic woman who only cares about herself. Wait a minute mom isn't that what people say about you if they haven't had the chance to get to know you."

"Drop that sarcastic tone this is serious."

"No Mom, thinking about it, you two are similar. I don't know why I haven't noticed it before. Your both as stubborn as each other. Neither of you can admit when you might be wrong!"

"SYDNEY ANNE BRISTOW!! What is wrong with you? What are you getting angry about?"

"Well um just. What can I say? Everything, my life, my job, Laura, you, Dad, Nadia and even Michael. Just when everything seems to be going fine something come along and changes. The life is even starting to affect Laura now. My unexplained trips away. Family members who she has found out about but I can't tell her about."

"But what can you do? Sydney this is your life."

"There is one thing I can do, something which I have been thinking about for a long time."

"What's that?"

"I'm going to leave the C. I A."
