Bianca was arranging cups behind the counter when Tristan walked into the café again.

The moment she saw him, her shoulders stiffened.

She had barely recovered from his last visit, and now he was back. She glanced at the other workers, hoping none of them would notice the tension on her face, then wiped her hands on her apron.

“Tristan, what do you want this time?”

He didn't answer immediately. Instead, he pulled out his phone and showed her the message.

“Do you remember this?”

Bianca glanced a

    The investigation moved faster than Selene expected.By the second afternoon, Zayden's investigator had traced the second child's records through several institutions. Some documents had been transferred, others had been altered, and a few appeared to have disappeared entirely.But one name kept appearing.A private adoption agency.Selene sat in Zayden's study, staring at the latest update on his laptop."Are you sure this is the right agency?" she asked.Zayden glanced at the screen."That's what the investigator believes. The records from the hospital were transferred there several years after the birth.""Why would they do that?""That's what we're trying to find out."She leaned back, rubbing her forehead.Every time they discovered something, another question followed. She had hoped the second birth certificate would lead directly to the other child, but instead, they were being forced through years of missing paperwork and hidden records."How long do you think it'll take?""I

    The drive back to New York was quieter than the journey out.Selene sat beside Zayden, staring through the window as the small town slowly disappeared behind them. The older woman's words kept repeating in her mind.Her mother had two children.One had been sent away through an adoption arrangement. The other had remained somewhere else.And someone had paid people to keep the truth hidden.Selene rested her forehead against the cool glass.She had imagined finding answers many times, but she hadn't expected them to hurt like this. For years, she had believed her mother had abandoned her. Now she was being told that the woman might have been separated from her children against her will.It changed everything.But it also left her with more questions."You're quiet," Zayden said.Selene turned slightly."I'm thinking.""About what she told us?"She nodded."I keep imagining my mother with two babies. I wonder what she was going through. How frightened she must have been."Zayden reache

    Selene couldn't move.The woman's words hung in the air, settling heavily between them.Your mother didn't abandon you.For years, Selene had believed her mother was gone. She had grown up thinking there was no one left who wanted her, no one searching for her, and no one who cared what happened after she was given away.Now a stranger was telling her that everything she believed might have been wrong."What do you mean?" she whispered.The older woman looked at her with tired eyes."I mean exactly what I said. Your mother didn't simply decide she didn't want you."Selene's throat tightened."Then why was I given away?"The woman lowered her gaze to her hands."Your mother was in a desperate situation when you were born. She was frightened, and there were people making sure she stayed that way.""Who?""I can't tell you everything. It's been many years.""But you know something."The woman sighed."I knew your mother. I knew what she was going through, and I knew she was trying to pro

    Selene barely slept that night.Every time she closed her eyes, she heard the investigator's words again.We found where she is.The woman connected to the second birth certificate had been missing for years. Now, after all the dead ends and unanswered questions, they finally had a chance to find her.Selene wanted answers. She wanted to know who the other child was, why their identities had been hidden, and what her mother had to do with everything.Most importantly, she wanted to understand why nobody had told her the truth.The following morning, she found Zayden in his study, already on a call with his investigator."Send me the exact location," he said. "And I want everything you've discovered about the woman before we leave."He ended the call when he noticed Selene standing by the doorway."Good morning.""Did he send it?"Zayden nodded and turned his laptop towards her.A small town outside New York appeared on the screen, along with an address.Selene leaned closer."How far

    The moment Selene ended the call, she remained seated on the edge of the bed, staring at her phone.Tristan knew who had accessed her records.After everything they had uncovered, she wasn't sure she wanted to hear another name connected to her past. Every new discovery seemed to open a wound she had only just managed to close.Zayden was in the bathroom getting ready for bed. When he came out, he found her still holding the phone."Is everything okay?"She looked up. "Tristan called."His expression changed slightly. "What did he want?""He says he knows who accessed my records."Zayden studied her face before sitting beside her."Do you want to meet him?"Selene hesitated, then nodded. "I need to know what he found.""Then go. I'll be here when you return."She appreciated that he didn't try to stop her or demand that she explain herself. He simply brushed his fingers against hers.The following afternoon, Selene met Tristan at a quiet private lounge.He was already waiting when she

    The soft sound of Rosie's laughter filled the back seat as Zayden drove through the quiet streets.Selene turned around to look at her.The little girl was holding a small pink gift bag on her lap, carefully making sure it didn't fall over whenever the car turned.“Are you sure you don't want to open it now?” Selene asked.Rosie shook her head.“No. It's for Grandma.”“Then why have you been checking it every five minutes?”“Because it's special!”Zayden glanced at them through the rearview mirror.“She's been protecting that bag since we left the house. I think we're lucky she hasn't asked me to drive with one hand so she can hold it with the other.”Rosie giggled.“Daddy, don't tell Mommy.”Selene laughed.“Your secret is safe with me.”They were attending a small family gathering at Zayden's mother's house. It wasn't a formal occasion, just a weekend dinner with a few relatives who wanted to spend time with Rosie.Selene had initially been reluctant to attend.The investigation had
