" M - Mom , tell me this isn't true . You found Robena before she was 157 " Amber looked at her sons in horror . The words caught in her throat like lumps of coal . Davis just stood in silence like a statue refusing to look anyon the eyes .. " When my brother and sister died in a car accident , my wife and I were going to officially adopt my niece . The day before the adoption however , we received notice that the Crests wanted Rabena back . When my wife and I traveled to Banton to fight it , they had a lawyer provide us with paperwork showing my brother and sister would relinquish parental rights back to the Crests in the event something happened to them . " Pete looked as if a bad memory formed into his mind . " It was the first time I had ever cursed my brother . Ruby was our niece , and we loved her dearly . I had every intention on fighting it ; but Rabena showed excitement about meeting her birth parents , I couldn't bare to do that to her . Of course , later on we would learn those documents were false . " Rabena's mind went blank . She'd remember learning of her birth parents for the first time and the excitement she'd had learning they found her . How foolish she had been back then , five years taken away from her true family all because she wanted to meet strangers . Aaron's heart felt as if a tight wire was crushing it . He knew Rabena's hearth was breaking , and he didn't know how to sooth her ; but she needed to learn the full truth . " To be honest , I could have forgiven the Crests for lying and stealing my niece from her family had they taken care of her . I found out later my niece was only brought back to Banton because she was bone marrow match for her fraternal twin sister Danielle . They never had any interest in loving her or making her apart of their family . " The ballroom was filled with tears , soon , angry shouts from the Prices and Martins irrupted . Peter continued . " I learned later on from my niece that she endured over five years of abuse at the hands of her parents , two of her brothers , her sister , and her husband . Too ashamed to tell me , she kept this all bottled up inside . The only people that ever showed her love was her older brother Damon whom we've taken in like a son and Chairwoman Lockwood along with her grandson Tyler Lockwood . " Grace's older sister Cora charged directly at Amber . " You bitch ! How could you do this to my niece ! Your own daughter ! What kind of mother are you ! " Cora's husband and daughter grabbed her as she tried to attack Amber while the security team tried to break up the fight . Through tears , Cora's daughter Laura stopped her mom . " She's not worth it mom ! Come on . Let's go and comfort Ruby . She's all that matters . " The other family members from the Prices , Martins , and Michaels all came over to embrace Rabena who was now hugging Aaron and sobbing . Pete continued . " I'm telling you all this so that you can know the type of people you put up on a pedestal of high society but also to atone for failing to honor my brother and sister - in - law's promise by protecting me niece if anything ever happened to them . " Pete walked over to Rabena along with Gloria and Sean , tears streaming down their faces . " Ruby , p - please . Could you forgive us ? " Rabena grabbed her uncle and aunt and hugged them tightly . Sean wrapped his arms around all of them . Finally , the family was truly reunited . Chapter Comments 3 / POST COMMENT NOW < SHARE
