The children's laughter reached our ears.

I pulled away and sat back on the chair just as the cinema door slid open, and they rushed in.

“Good morning, Daddy! Good morning, Mommy!” they chorused.

“How did you find us?” I asked, as I adjusted to the far end of the couch.

“The butler directed us,” Eloise blurted.

They paused midway as they saw the big screen... then they resumed running and joined us on the couch.

“Does it really work?” Nathaniel asked pointed at the big screen, his voic

    —Eloise— The next morning, I took the window seat and watched my father’s security team load our luggage onto the jet, Damian’s words from last night replaying in my head.I gave him a reason to walk away. I closed my eyes, fighting back my emotions. It was already too late. Whatever Caleb and I had shared was over, and I needed to move on. If only it were that easy. My phone lit up on my lap. A message from Daniel. Let me know when you land in D.C. Safe flight. And keep the jacket. It looks better on you anyway.I almost smiled. It would have been so easy to answer him, to type something light and let the warmth of it carry me through the flight. But the face in my head wasn't Daniel's. I switched to airplane mode and tucked the phone into my pocket. A low vibration traveled through the cabin as the jet accelerated down the runway. Moments later, we were airborne, leaving Hawaii behind. Somewhere over the Pacific, Mom came down the aisle with two cups of tea and settled int

    —Caleb—My father didn’t let go until I did.He walked over to the sitting area by the window and sank onto the leather sofa, then glanced at the cabinet in the corner. I took the hint. I poured two glasses of red wine, handed him one, and sat across from him.We drank for a while without talking. I kept turning the glass in my hand, trying to work out where to start. He didn’t rush me. He never had. When I was a kid and wouldn’t say what was wrong, he’d just sit on the edge of my bed until I did.Finally, I put the glass down.“Séraphina and I told Kiara the truth last week,” I said. “We thought she deserved to hear it from us.”His hand stilled.“How did she take it?”“Badly.” My voice came out rougher than I intended. “She ran to the bathroom. Then she passed out at Séraphina’s house. They rushed her to the hospital, and she was admitted. The doctors said it was stress.”My father closed his eyes briefly. “Is she all right?”“She’s recovering. When she was discharged, she asked to

    —Amira— He stood there in a white T-shirt and blue jeans, a bouquet of flowers in hand. His cologne wrapped around me, stirring passionate memories I wasn’t ready to face. I couldn’t breathe. Not with the way my heart was pounding in my chest. “Who’s that?” Mama’s voice came from behind me. She appeared at my side and gasped. “Mr. Rivera!” For the first time since he got here, he smiled. “Good evening, Mrs. Nwosu.” “Evening. We weren't expecting you.” Mama glanced at the gift boxes. “Was that you?” Nathaniel exhaled. “Merry Christmas.” Mama grinned before turning to my cousin. “Come, Oluchi. Let's give them some privacy.” Their footsteps faded down the hallway. I glanced over my shoulder, watching them disappear… then slowly turned back to him. The father of my unborn child. He did come back after all. My breath hitched and tears pricked my eyes. “Hello,” he said. My fingers tightened around the letter. “Hi.” He stepped forward slightly, holding out th

    —Amira—A week later....It had been a week since Mama and I learned the DNA results— a week since Nathaniel left my house.I tried not to think about him. I tried not to miss him.A lot has happened since then.Sammy was flown to America five days ago and is currently undergoing trial in a federal court. Turned out I wasn't the only girl he'd trafficked to Mr. Nobody.And Mr. Nobody?His real name was Martinez Santiago.The FBI cracked down on his mansion and cuffed him—just before he could hop into his helicopter.“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.”He was still in his pajamas. Had probably just woken up and was about to sit for breakfast.A lot of young women were rescued, a handful of them looking malnourished and ill.“Do you know who I am?” he snapped. “Let me go, now.”He tried to make a run, but an agent tactically swept him off his feet and pinned him on the marble floor.Goosebumps skidded over my skin a

    —Eloise—The world fell quiet.I walked into my bedroom and shut the door behind me, still trying to process everything that had happened.A knock sounded at the door.“May I come in?” Mom called.“Yes.”She stepped inside and shut the door behind her.“Are you okay?”I nodded, placing the documents on the table.“Eloise, you don't have to lie to me.”“I'm fine.”Mom didn't argue. She glanced at the papers before looking back at me.“Daniel just left.”I looked down and realized I was still wearing his jacket. I slipped it off, ran my fingers over the smooth fabric, and laid it on the chair.“I didn't mean to leave without explaining…”“Eloise, you don't have to explain yourself to me.” Mom came closer. “We know how difficult this has been for you.”I walked to the window, hoping the view would help me gather my thoughts. It didn't.“Caleb said nothing happened between him and Séraphina.”“We heard what he said.”“What if he's telling the truth?” I asked.Mom took a moment before answ

    —Eloise—I lifted my chin.“Daniel Peterson.”Caleb's expression changed at the name, but he didn't look away from me. “And the jacket?”I glanced down at the black fabric covering my dress.“What's wrong with it?”He pressed his lips together.“Nothing.”The word came out flat. I could hear the restraint in his voice, the effort it took him to keep his emotions under control.Daniel's hand remained at my waist. Caleb's gaze dropped to it before returning to my face.I met his eyes.“You came all this way to explain yourself. So go ahead.”Caleb held my gaze. “Can we speak in private?”“After what my daughter has been through, you can't expect us to leave you alone with her,” Dad said.“We're not stopping you from explaining yourself,” Mom added. “But whatever you have to say, you can say it here.”Caleb looked at me, and I folded my arms across my chest.“Go ahead. I'm listening.”He swallowed. “The photograph you received doesn't tell the whole story.”A humorless laugh escaped me.
