Chapter 21 — The Voice at the Door

Miyaka couldn't move.

She couldn't even breathe properly.

Her mother's voice had come through the door as naturally as if twelve years hadn't passed.

As if she had never left.

As if Miyaka were still a little girl sitting at the kitchen table, waiting for her mother to finish making breakfast.

Sweetheart, it's me.

The words kept repeating inside her head.

Jason was staring at her now.

He looked frightened.

Not because of the person outside.

Because of what that

  • MY LONG LOST LOVE   CHAPTER 111 THE GIRL WHO STOLE MY NAME

    CHAPTER 111THE GIRL WHO STOLE MY NAMEFor several seconds, nobody moved.The words remained suspended on the monitor, glowing against the darkness like a sentence passed by someone who had never needed to explain its judgment.THE ORIGINAL MIYAKA IS STILL ALIVE.I read it once. Then again. And again, as though repeating the words might eventually make them mean something different.The original Miyaka.Not a daughter. Not a sister. Not a girl who had been given my name because someone thought it would be easier to rewrite a life than admit what they had done.The original.My fingers tightened around the edge of the console. I could feel my pulse beating beneath my skin, but the rest of me had gone strangely cold. Somewhere behind me, Jason muttered something under his breath. Moises was standing close enough that I could feel his presence, although he hadn't touched me. He seemed to understand that if he reached for me too quickly, I might fall apart—or worse, pull away."Turn it of

  • MY LONG LOST LOVE   CHAPTER 110 THE FACE OF THE WOMAN WHO LEFT

    CHAPTER 110THE FACE OF THE WOMAN WHO LEFTFor a moment, Miyaka forgot how to breathe.The woman standing in the doorway had her mother's voice, her mother's gestures, and the same sorrowful way of looking at her that Miyaka had spent years imagining in her dreams. But the face was wrong. It was the face of Seraphina—the woman who had appeared in old photographs, the woman whose eyes resembled Miyaka's, the woman who had once admitted knowing Lucien wasn't her brother but had allowed Miyaka to believe otherwise.Seraphina.The name seemed to reverberate through the chamber, turning every memory Miyaka had ever associated with her mother into something uncertain.“No,” Miyaka whispered.The woman stepped farther into the light. Her hair was longer than it had been in the photographs, streaked with silver at the temples. A thin scar ran along her jaw, and her eyes were red from crying. She looked exhausted, as though she had spent years carrying something too heavy for one person to sur

  • MY LONG LOST LOVE   CHAPTER 109 THE WOMAN BEHIND THE DARK

    CHAPTER 109THE WOMAN BEHIND THE DARKThe hand around Miyaka's wrist was cold.Not the ordinary coldness of someone who had spent too long in an air-conditioned room, but the deep, unnatural chill of skin that had been kept away from sunlight for years. The fingers tightened just enough to warn her against moving, and a breath brushed her ear as the stranger whispered again.“Don't let her see your face.”Miyaka's entire body went rigid.She knew that voice.Or, more accurately, she knew the feeling it awakened in her—the inexplicable certainty that she had heard it before, perhaps beneath the mango tree, perhaps in the forgotten corridors of her childhood, perhaps in a dream that had followed her for years without ever revealing its ending. It was a voice that seemed to belong to the space between memories, where familiar things waited without names.“Who are you?” she whispered.The hand released her.Before Miyaka could turn, the emergency lights flickered back to life, illuminatin

  • MY LONG LOST LOVE   CHAPTER 108 THE NAME BURIED WITH HER

    CHAPTER 108THE NAME BURIED WITH HERThe name continued to echo through the underground chamber long after the voice had stopped speaking.Miyaka couldn't understand the words. She had heard them clearly enough, yet they seemed to belong to a language buried somewhere beneath her earliest memories, somewhere her mind refused to follow. The voice was young, almost painfully gentle, and it called to her with the certainty of someone who had been waiting a very long time. She felt the sound in her chest before she understood that she was trembling.Across the room, Dr. Evander Vale remained on his knees.For a man who had spent years hiding behind authority, secrets, and carefully constructed explanations, his reaction was more frightening than any confession he could have made. He looked at the monitor as if the name displayed there had opened a grave directly beneath his feet.“Say it again,” Miyaka

  • MY LONG LOST LOVE   CHAPTER 107 THE DAUGHTER HE CARRIED

    CHAPTER 107THE DAUGHTER HE CARRIEDFor several seconds, Dr. Evander Vale looked as though the woman behind the black door had reached through the darkness and placed a hand around his throat. He did not answer her question. He did not deny knowing her, nor did he summon the cold authority he had used to silence everyone else in the chamber. He simply stared at the scar above her left eyebrow, his lips parting slightly as though a name had risen to his tongue and frightened him before he could speak it. Miyaka watched him, her heart hammering against her ribs, and understood that whatever waited behind that door had not merely survived the fire. It had survived him.“Which daughter?” Miyaka demanded.Evander didn't look at her.“Professor,” the woman repeated, her fingers tightening around the edge of the door. “You used to be very good at answering questions when you were the one asking them. Has something changed?”The bitterness in her voice carried a familiarity that unsettled Miy

  • MY LONG LOST LOVE   CHAPTER 106 THE ONE I LEFT BEHIND

    CHAPTER 106THE ONE I LEFT BEHIND“Miyaka. I remember now. And I remember which one of us you left behind.”The voice came from behind the black door, soft enough to be mistaken for a whisper and clear enough to tear through every other sound in the chamber. For one suspended moment, nobody moved. Even the low hum of the machinery seemed to fade beneath the weight of those words, leaving Miyaka staring at the narrow seam between the door and its frame as if the darkness on the other side had suddenly acquired a face. She had spent years imagining what it would feel like to discover the truth about the girl who had vanished from her childhood, about the memories that refused to remain buried, about the possibility that the life she remembered was never entirely hers. She had expected anger. She had expected grief. Perhaps, somewhere beneath all of it, she had even expected relief. She had never imagined that the truth would speak to her in a voice that sounded almost exactly like her o
