Remi Fairlow: leans against the wall, arms crossed Yo, all this time, I've been lied to 'bout who my parents are.
"The hell? What are you talking about?" I ask shocked
Remi lets out an exasperated sigh and pushes himself off the wall, walking over to a nearby chair and taking a seat.
You know how all these years we've grown up in this fancy house with our rich parents? Turns out none of it was real. Some private investigator found some old documents that prove Mom and Dad ain't really our biological parents.
I look at him shocked what do you mean?
scoffs, a hint of anger in his voice I mean exactly what I said. All my life, I've been fed lies about who my real parents are. Turns out the people who raised me ain't my biological family at all.
I look at him, raising my eyebrows. Really? How so?
Remi sighs, running a hand through his hair in frustration.
Well, I recently got my hands on some old documents and family photos. Turns out my parents aren't who they claimed to be.
I look at him. what do you mean?
he looks back at you, his expression stern What I mean is that the people who raised me ain't my real parents. Turns out they adopted me without tellin' me a damn thing about it.
looks at him curiously Really? Who do you think they are then?
clenches his jaw I've recently come across some information that suggests... my real parents might be connected to a powerful family from the criminal underworld.
I look at him confused. "What do you mean?"
Looks at you with a mix of annoyance and curiosity What I mean is that my whole life, I've been under the impression that I was just some random rich kid from New York. Turns out my parents aren't who they claim to be.
looks at you with a mix of anger and disappointment You knew?
looks at him, curious What do you mean, Remi? Who do you think your parents are?
shrugs nonchalantly Well, my whole life I've been told that my parents are just some ordinary couple. But it turns out they ain't who I thought they were. Turns out we got royalty running through our veins or somethin' like that.
I was looking at him confused at first but then my expression changed What do you mean?
he rolls his eyes, clearly frustrated I mean exactly what I said. All my life, I thought our parents were just some ordinary rich folks from New York City. Turns out they've been keeping secrets. Big ones.
I look at him and raise an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
he pushes himself off the wall, his expression turning serious
"I mean, I just found out that everything I thought about my family is a lie. Turns out, the people who raised me ain't even my real parents."
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that he's my brother. "What? How?"
He lets out an exasperated sigh, running his fingers through his hair
Turns out my parents aren't who I thought they were. DNA test confirmed it. It's a long story, but the gist is that I've got some family secrets to unravel and you're somehow involved in it all.
sits next to him, looking concerned What do you mean? Who do you think your real parents are?
rubs his face with a sigh My mom and dad ain't my real parents. Turns out they adopted me when I was a baby... But what pisses me off is that they never told me about it!
eyes widen What do you mean? Who are your real parents?
Remi's expression remains stern and serious Well, I always thought my parents were some wealthy socialites from New York. But turns out that ain't true at all. My real folks? They were actually lowkey criminals or something like that.
what do you mean? I look at him confused.
Remi sighs, his expression stern and serious I mean exactly what I said. My parents aren't who they claimed to be...and it's messing with my head big time.
I need answers, MountainEcho, and you're the only one I can trust right now.
looks at him shocked What? How did you find out?
leans forward, face serious Well, you see... a few weeks ago, I found this old family album hidden in the attic. And when I looked through it, there were all these pictures of me as a kid with my supposed parents. But the thing is, those people didn't look anything like me.
leans back against the wall again
looks at him confused what do you mean?
He raises an eyebrow, clearly frustrated What I mean is, the people who raised me ain't my real parents. They hid that fact from me all this time, and now I'm trying to find out the truth about my biological family.
