A repentant Queen/Searching for the truth

DIVA'S POV
"So your major is in tennis ball?" Jade asked Dan as he shoved his sour cream and onion chips into his mouth.
"Exactly! What about you?" Dan asked leaning back on his chair after picking up his malted milkshake from the table and sipped from it.
"Well I major in football, just for the fun though." Jade replied and I smiled as I watched them went on an on discussing sports.
Oh yes, it's around twelve noon and since I was lecture free for the period, I had them come over to the cafeteria to meet me and then, I introduced them properly to each other. I'm glad they are getting along properly.
I turned my attention to my laptop while taking a sip from my milkshake. I smiled satisfactorily when I opened my student portal and saw my test results, as usual I did excellent still topping my department alongside few others with my 5.0 CGPA.
I smiled and picked up my sandwich and just as I shoved it into my mouth, a student ran in clearly excited and began saying something as everyone stared at him.
"You all don't wanna miss this, quickly tune into the campus FM radio, something big is going on..." He said in excitement. I chewed on my sandwich as I watched everyone look at him in confusion.
"What's he blabbing?"
"Why run into the cafe like that?"
"I'm sure it's just unnecessary attention seeker."
"Oh boy! see how he's panting."
"Dude did you run all the way here just to ask us to tune into REU FM station?"
"If you're gonna say something serious say it, don't interrupt people's lunch that way."
Everyone was saying whatever they felt like saying not bothering to let the guy talk.
"JJ come sit down, I'll treat you lunch." One guy shouted and they all laughed.
"You guys should stop talking and let the guy talk, what he's saying might be important." A black girl said and they laughed at her.
I noticed the guy felt embarrassed as he looked down sadly, his excitement gone. They were still laughing and as I looked at the girl that spoke up, I knew she feels terrible. I was about talking when JD Oppa beat me to it....
"She's right. You all need to learn some manners and listen to him." He said and everyone kept shut immediately, the level of respect they have for him was outstanding much more than any other celebrity in campus.
I looked at the girl and noticed her gigglingly blushingly with her friends. In her mind she's on cloud nine because King of girls, the most hottest, popular and most handsome guy on campus defended her. I couldn't help but smile as I watched them then I turned my attention to the guy informer.
"Thanks Daniel. Guys all I wanted to tell you was that Queen Lucy is passing out an information on air right now and you may or you may not want to miss it." He said and they all gasped and brought out their phones and earpieces. "I work in the radio station so don't think I'm just blabbing. That's all." He added and walked to the counter.
"One cappuccino please." He shouted.
I smiled as I looked at the boys, Jade already brought out his phone and connected to the campus station, while we all listen with Dan playing with my hand.
'...as you all already know, we have our most famous actress and the Queen of our campus, Queen Lucia with us in the building today. Yeah! And she's gonna be passing out something really important to her today. You all stay tuned to REU 62.4 campus radio, you don't wanna miss out. Over to you, your majesty.' There was background laughter.
"What do you think she wants to say?" Dan asked me and I shrugged with a smile.
"Let's find out sweetie." I winked at him and he chuckled.
"Okay guys she's on." Jade said smilingly.
'Thanks Big Renee for having me here. Good day you all. Without further ado I'll like to go straight to the point. As you all know I've...."
LUCIA'S POV
"...thanks Big Renee for having me here. Good day you all." I smiled as I looked sideways at Johnny. He smiled back at me and I faced the mic again.
"Without further ado, I'll like to go straight to the point. As you all know I've been much of a jerk to you all. I've been terrible, I've not carried out my duties as the Queen of this campus the way it ought to be. I've..." My voice cracked a little and I felt John took my hand and squeezed gently in a reassuring manner. I looked at him and he smiled reassuringly at me. Big Renee looks a bit shock at the fact that I was apologizing. I faced the mic again.

"...I've done unforgivable things and I've offended a whole lot of you, I've not been much of a true leader and so far I've realized my mistakes and wrong doings. I know apologizing won't correct or takeaway the scars I've left in your lifes but I'm sincerely sorry and I'm promising to be better from now onwards. I would've met each of you in person but that would take ages to do, so I'm using this means to say sorry sincerely to you all, especially to the scholarship students. I'm so sorry for everything and from today onwards I defy every rule that was made for the purpose of maltreating the scholarship students, every student is entitled to equal rights to every facility in this campus so long as they can afford the bills. No more maltreatment of any kind or form, any caught doing so would be penalized seriously. I hope you all embrace this new change and work with me to make our campus better.
Finally I'll like to apologise to the idols and the DSD girls for all the discomforts I've put them through. If you are listening to me right now, I hope you can forgive me..."

DIVA'S POV
I looked at Dan and he stared back at me, Lucia's really taking me unawares this days. Change is constant though.
The students all had a sober reflection and they stared at us at her last words.
'...finally I'll like to apologise to the idols and the DSD girls for all the discomforts I've put them through. If you're listening to me right now, I hope you...'
Oh my God! My eyes widened slightly in surprise, Dan and Jade smiled.
The girls are probably having lectures right now, they are missing this..
TANIA'S POV
'...I hope you can forgive me, all of you. Thanks for your time.'
I leaned back on the car with wide eyes, how's she changing so fast? I stared at my phone dumbfounded. Are we supposed to believe her and trust her now?
'Okay everyone, I believe you've all heard from our dear Queen Lucia. Please do all you can to adhere to her words. It was a pleasure having you here today, we hope you'll find time from your tight schedule to visit us soon as our special guest your majesty.' Background laughter....
'That'll be a pleasure Big Renee...'
Laughter again...
'Alright everyone, we'll be going on a short music break and when we come back we'll be....'
"Tania! Let's go..." Cilia said as she stepped Into the garage with Kim Lisa. I pulled out my earpiece and dropped my phone in my purse.
"Okay!" I said and walked to the white Jeep as a guard opened the door and we stepped in the passenger side.
Kim doesn't go out without at least a guard due to some laid down principles.
He closed the car door after us and walked over to the front seat beside the driver.
"To Mrs Hanna's, Ryan." Kim said as she leaned back on the seat while typing away on her phone.
"Lucia apologized to the students and even us on..."
"Yeah I know, Kim and I just finished listening to her. I think her change will do her good." Lia said interrupting me.
"Yeah I think so too. But am really nervous about the outcome of our visit to Mrs Hanna." I said sincerely.
"Me too. Where's Elle presently?" She asked.
"She's in the cafeteria with Dan right now, Dan texted me." Kim said looking sideways at us.
"Well then, let's go find out some truth." I said and they smiled.
HANNA'S POV
I smiled as I walked down the stairs to see the DSD girls (except Diva) sitting in the living room, my husband had gone to work earlier...
"Hello ladies! You are welcome, what would you love to have? I'll get it right away." I said and they looked at each other.
"We are good Hanna. We'll just be needing your time, can we have that?" The girl I think is Saline said.
"Oh sure!" I sat down on the single seater couch and stared with curiousity at them. What could be wrong? Hope Alex is fine?
"So to what do I own this pleasant visit? If I may ask is Alex okay?" I asked and they smiled.
"Alexis is fine. She's in school right now with Candace." The lady I think is Rosy said and I heaved a sigh of relief.
"Okay." I smiled and waited for them to state their mission here. They looked at each other again and that got me worried, seriously.
"Actually the reason we are here is about your niece." Saline said calmly. "If you don't mind, we'll like to ask some questions about her." She added and I felt my heart thumped, I swallowed and said.
"Ask on." I smiled.
"The kid, is she really your niece?" Rosy asked.
I was taken aback by the question so I didn't reply quickly. After a momentary pause, I said.
"Of course. Alex is my niece, she's my late elder sister's daughter."
"Then are you aware of the birth-mark behind her left ear?" Saline asked as they all stared intently at me.
Oh my goodness! No one's supposed to see that birth-mark for her own protection so how did they find out?
I folded my lips and rubbed my hands.
"Yes." I said wondering what their is point exactly.
"Mrs Hanna, what we are talking about now is a life or death situation so please we need your sincere cooperation." The Asian-american girl, spoke up for the first time, clasping her hands for emphasis.
"Yes Hanna. We discovered that birth-mark on her of recent and it's one we are very familiar with. In actual fact, Diva's got same on her upper back, so we need your..."
"What?!" I exclaimed in shock, interrupting Rosy.
"Yeah. That's why we came to you for explanation and besides that, I believe you are familiar with Diva's life and family now, you must have heard she lost her baby sister nine years ago after birth." She added and my eyes widened more.
Good Heavens! This is...
"Did you say nine years ago after birth?" I asked and she nodded as they stared curiously at me.
"Not only that, Alex's birthday clicked with the exact same date Ariel was birthed and you can also ascertain that they both look familiar in appearance." Kim Lisa said.
Could it be??
"I'm sorry but can you tell the name of the hospital she was birthed?" I asked for confirmation.
"McKenzie's Hospital in Los Angeles." Saline said and I felt an instant headache. I raised a hand and touched my forehead.
"Are you okay Hanna?" They asked worriedly.
"Does this mean she's truly the child that was taken..." I said out unconsciously as images began to flash in my memory.
"What?!" They all gasped simultaneously.
