27 Press Conference 2 (1/2)

I was in the front of the press people. Camera flashes are clicking before my eyes.

”Good day to all of you here.” I greeted. ”I am Queenie Versales. I just recently found out that I am Jillian Rose Williams, the MIA and presumed dead daughter of Mayor Williams.”

”Ms. Versales why have you just resurfaced now?” a reporter asked.

”Unfortunately I have amnesia. I can't remember anything before 8 years ago and still my memories hasn't returned.” I answered.

”It was said that you had an accident that caused you to be MIA and presumed dead. If I remember correctly you fell of a cliff near your villa correct?” another reporter asked.

I clenched my fist remembering that day. 'So they let it out as an accident? But in the family they said I conmited suicide. Hmph. It was neither of the two.' I thought. I kept my anger at bay. ”Yes, that is what my father told me. But all I know is when I woke up in the hospital the doctor's just said I probably fell off a high place to get a concussion and all the body injuries I got.” I explained to them.

”It was a miracle that you have survived Ms. Versales. May we know how you were rescued.” a reporter asked.

”It was my adoptive brother Troy that found me at sea. He was the one who rescued me.” I smiled from the memory when I opened my eyes for the first time and saw his angelic face. ”He was my angel.”

”How did Mayor know you are his missing daughter that was presumed dead?” another reporter asked.

”I saw her at my stepdaughter Julia's birthday party.” it was my father that answered the question. ”When I saw her I knew right away that she was my Jillian. I requested her to take a DNA test with me and it came out positive.”

Reporters bombarded me and my father with questions regarding my disappearance and my life after that. Not long my headache started to attack. Maybe it's because of the flashes from the camera. I felt dizzy and fell out of balance. A hand caught me by my back. I looked at the person that caught me and I saw those dark blue eyes looking at me worriedly. It was Shawn. Then my eyes started to darken and I passed out.

I opened my eyes slowly. When I look around I was in a hospital bed. I adjusted my eyes and slowly sat down.

”Queenie, you're awake. Take it easy.” Andrea was beside me helping me in seating up.

”What happened?” I ask. Then I feel a prick in my head. It looks like I had a headache attack again.

”You had an attack when you were at the press conference. You fainted in front of all the press people. Good thing Shawn was there to catch you in time.” Andrea said.

I look around. Shawn and dad are not in the hospital room.

”Why aren't daddy and Shawn here?” I asked.

”Well there was a bit of a commotion when you fainted.” Andrea said a little reluctant to tell me.

”What happened?” I asked confused. For sure the press was shocked when I fainted to cause a commotion. But it looks like this wasn't the commotion Andrea meant.

”Well when Shawn caught you the reporters saw it. And bombarded Shawn with questions.” Andrea answered. ”The have been wedding with him 8 years ago was well known in N city. And they asked if it was the reason that the two of you are having relationship rumors recently.”
