Espionage… it wasn’t the life that I chose, but it was the life that chose me. In fact if I was being brutally honest with myself before becoming a spy for the British Secret Service I never saw myself as having ANY future at all.
Laura Cain was the ‘Black Sheep’ of the very wealthy Cain Family, well… we weren’t exactly a family. I’m the eldest of three siblings ‘half siblings technically’ my mother was different from theirs, although since my biological mother died when I was a baby their mother ‘my step-mother’ had always treated me as one of her own.
My father was Richard Cain owner of ‘Cain Enterprises’ hence my families wealth, but we were close, I loved him more than anything, which is why his death had hit me the hardest.
I was only 12 at the time that everyone had told me that he’d killed himself, but I didn’t believe that for a second- it hurt my broken heart to think about it, because despite what everyone else thought, I believe that he was murdered.
After losing my father I dedicated myself into hard work, I had a ‘special gift’ as my father used to call it, a sharp photographic memory.
I could remember everything- my mind was a lot like a camera, I could access each memory, each piece of information whenever I needed it.
My half siblings thought of me as strange, but my uncanny mind did see me into Cambridge University and completing several degrees in a few short years.
I had mastered languages and been offered careers at some of the most globally selective companies, but they didn’t feel quite right.
I couldn’t see myself as a politician, a doctor or a lawyer on top of all the modelling opportunities I had been offered, I saw myself stuck in a moment of time consumed by questions that I could never hope to get answers to- until one dark night that changed my life forever.
