Chapter 35
Nadia was the first one to move. She quickly stood up and darted across to Laura.
"It was nothing sweetie. Really it was nothing at all." Nadia said to her
"No, it was something. Your lying to me again. Why won't you tell me anything?" Laura screamed at Nadia.
"Laura Irina Bristow. You know better than to raise you voice to trying and get what you want. I thought you were better behaved than that." Sydney said her voice stern.
"Then tell me what is going on. What did Grandma Claudia do?"
Irina looked across at Sydney and said two short words to her.
"Tell Her"
"Laura, I'm not sure how to start this, but yes something happened. Yes you Grandma Claudia tried to hurt your Grandma Irina and the rest of the family. But Grandma Claudia was not working by herself, someone else was trying to do it as well."
"Who else is then?"
"Your teacher Mrs Dillon. She's not who say's she is. Her real name is Olivia Reed, and she's not a big fan of our family."
"Why?"
"Baby, do you remember me mentioning Daddy's ex-wife Lauren?"
"Yes." Laura replied back to her
"Well, Olivia Reed is Laurens Mother."
"Then why does she hate us so much. If you know here. Is it to do with you and Daddy?"
"No, not that. She blames me for the death of Lauren. She thinks because Irina came back at the same time that I killed her to find out that, instead I was following orders."
"And then" Laura decided to finish the story herself. Mentally herself putting the pieces together. "Grandma Claudia decided to work with her because of what had happened to Grandpa William by Grandma Irina."
Laura walked over to face Sydney
"Mommy, is this going to stop now? All these weird family things. All these secrets. I want to know how Grandma Irina came back into your lives. About Auntie Katya and Yelena. About you real Job Mommy. Because I know your not a teacher and that Grandpa Jack doesn't work with planes and Auntie Nadia in a bank. You think I don't pay attention to anything you say or do. But I do. And know I want the truth."
Irina looked across and raised an eyebrow at Sydney and mouthed a few words to her.
"Like Mother, Like Daughter."
