Alessandro “Don’t talk to me like that! I am your mother!”I scoffed at her words.“Did I deny that you are my mother? As far as I know, I have accorded you the respect of a mother even though you don’t deserve it but you don’t know when to stop and you keep crossing the line! This time you have gone too far and you are on a time-out!”I yelled at her. She looked taken aback. It takes a lot to shock my mother but this time, she genuinely looked shocked at my words.Good, I want her to know that I am being for real and I won’t hesitate to cut her out of my life for good!“What? Time out? What do you even mean by that?”She let out when she found her voice. “Yes! If you keep messing up, I am going to cut you off as Nadia did!”I fired at her. She gasped and held her chest as if I had just hurt her. “Even you? Alessandro? Are you talking about cutting me off just because I want what’s best for you? How can you guys be so mean? First, your sister who married an ordinary hotelier and no

Maeve “I am okay, Andro. We don’t have to leave.” I told Andro. I didn’t want him to leave in anger because of me.What his mother did was wrong but I believe that leaving would make her think she won.I would be damned if I let that woman win.Also, I couldn’t just leave Luca and Lori with the staff, not even with Becca around.I don’t trust her with kids. I don’t care if she was their mother’s nanny in the past! She called Andro’s mom on me! She can make those kids be around their grandmother when they don’t want to be.“We should leave. With her around, this house won’t be peaceful and I don’t want you to encounter her anymore!”He told me.“I get that but what about the kids? We can’t just leave them here! When she walked into their playroom earlier, they weren’t happy to see her.”I told him.“We are not leaving them here! We are all leaving!”He told me but that didn’t make me feel better. The idea of moving the kids around didn’t sit well with me.“No, please don’t do this

Maeve“That’s crazy. I thought you said his sister died?”I asked him. It could be a coincidence. Many little kids look alike.Just because I have the same name as his sister and look like her doesn’t mean I am his sister.“Eve, she didn’t really die. She went missing on her fifth birthday and was never found. She was declared dead when the search for her stopped.”I gasped in shock at his words.“Really? Too bad, I guess her family never got closure.”He nodded.“They never did. His parents divorced because of that and it took a toll on Theo.”I felt bad for him. Losing a sibling was something no one should experience.But I know for sure that I am not his sister. I was adopted when I was five and before that I lived in the orphanage since I was found as a newborn baby.That’s what the people at the orphanage told my parents and that’s what my parents told me when they explained why I had no baby pictures.“Do you think there’s a chance that his missing sister might be you?”I shook

Maeve“Maybe my parents never requested my baby photos. I don’t see why the nuns would lie! They were the nicest people ever, and they took care of all the other kids and me.”I still go to the orphanage once a year.Usually, some days before my birthday. I play with the kids there and gift them.I have no bad memories of the place.“I am not saying that they are bad people, Eve. I am just saying that there might be a mix-up, and there’s a chance that you might be Theo’s baby sister.”I found his words amusing and couldn’t stop myself from laughing.“The chances of that being true are literally at point zero percent. Seriously, Andro, it’s just a coincidence. I really don’t want to make this a huge deal and stir everyone up. I hope they find peace someday.”I told him.He looked at me like he wanted to say something else, but decided against it.“Are you dropping it?”I don’t know why I even asked the question when I got what I wanted.“Not really, I was going to hold it for now and b

Maeve“I can’t believe you have refused to listen to me, Alessandro. I didn’t raise you like that.”Andro scoffed.“Mom, not in front of the kids. Also, you didn’t raise me. Nonno, dad, and the nannies did.”He told her and looked at me.I shook my head. I didn’t want him to confront his mom again. Especially not in front of the kids.“I know you want me out of here and out of your life, so I will leave. I don’t want to be here and watch you make a big mistake. When you finally realise what a big mistake you made choosing her as your bride, call me.”I smiled when she called me Andro’s bride.Getting upgraded to the bride stage when we have only been dating for two days is crazy, but I have accepted it.From Andro, to Nonno, to Nadia, and even his mom, I have accepted the fact that this family doesn’t see dating; they see marriage.It doesn’t even bother me anymore. I don’t feel overwhelmed by the idea anymore. Who wouldn’t want to be married to a man like Andro?“Mom, you should know

Maeve “This is me!” I let out. There was no doubt about it. It was me in the photo. “I was wondering if I could send the photo you have on your phone to him. Also, they are coming here right after the event ends. He wants to talk to you.” Andro told me. I wanted to talk to him too. All doubts I had before were gone now. The photos he sent were enough evidence that it was me. I am his sister. The reality of what this means started to sink in. All my life, I thought my birth parents abandoned me because they didn’t want me but that wasn’t the case. They lost me. They lost me and that broke them. Knowing what I know now, I feel sorry for hating them for years and wishing they were unhappy. I wonder if my wishes were part of the reason they broke apart. “Eve?” Andro’s voice brought me out of my thoughts. “Yeah?” I asked because I couldn’t remember what he had said before I got lost in my thoughts. “I asked if it was okay for me to send the photos you have on

Maeve Even the serene atmosphere didn’t help my mood get better. I tried to join in their play but decided only after a few minutes that I didn’t feel like it so I used the excuse of wanting to read the book I picked from the library. I couldn’t even go beyond the first page of the book. My thoughts were all over the place and no matter how hard I tried to redirect my mind and focus on the present rather than a past I had almost no idea about, I couldn’t. I couldn’t stop thinking about what could have gone wrong. I dropped the book and reached for my phone. I searched Theo’s name again and clicked on the section talking about his family.There wasn’t much about them but I did see something about his other brother.I clicked on that and found out he was a big-shot actor with millions of loyal followers. “My brother is an actor?”I whispered to myself and scrolled through his profile on Insta. I tried searching for the other three but there was nothing on them. They probab

Maeve“That’s why our meeting was way more than just a meeting. Think about it like that, Eve. We met so that the past could be corrected. If you think about it like that, it would make it a little easier to accept.”I didn’t say anything. Yes, his words made sense, but that didn’t make it any easier to accept.“The past is something we can’t change, but sometimes, things happened so that the wrong of the past can at least be corrected. Would rather not have found out about your parents and what truly happened?”He asked me, and I didn’t even need to think hard to respond to him.Ever since I reached the age to question everything about my life, I have always wanted to find my parents.I wanted answers. I have always wanted answers, but I didn’t bother looking for them because I didn’t want to face an uncomfortable truth.I didn’t want to find out that I was really not wanted by them.“I have always wanted to meet them because I had so many questions to ask them, but I never tried loo

Maeve “You just made that up!” I let out but he shook his head. “I wish I had made it up but I am speaking the truth! Your oldest and second-oldest brothers were once seals who retired with the biggest honors. Even right now, they run a joint security company.” Wow. Impressive. “That’s crazy! That’s fucking crazy but I am sure they won’t do anything to you! You literally found me. Plus, we don’t know if they will even want me in their life.” I refuse to forget that there’s a possibility that they won’t want the adult version of me in their lives. “Don’t even say that last part out loud, I already told you that they would still want you in their lives!” He told me. “Yes, master.” I joked and he shook his head at me. “Master? You got jokes, madam.” And I am glad he understood my joke and played along. “I know one is an actor because I saw his profile on the search engine but what about the fourth brother?” I asked him. “The fourth brother is the actor. The

Maeve “I feel bad, I was so mad at her for years, and she was having a harder time than I was.”Every time I remembered I was abandoned, I cursed at my parents, especially my mother.What if all the curses made her suffer even more?“That’s pretty valid because you believed they abandoned you. Now you know better.”Yeah, I know better, and once the DNA test confirms what I already know, I will ask to meet her.“Uncle? Lori hungry!”I lifted my head off Andro’s chest when I heard Lori’s voice.“Oh, darling, I am such a bad auntie, I should have given you snacks.”I let out as I got off her uncle so that he could pick her up while I brought out the snacks that were prepared for them.I gave the apple pie to Andro so that he could feed Lori.“Luca, stop playing and come eat something.”I called out to her brother, who was still playing. He stopped the moment he heard my voice and came running to us.I made him wash his hands first before I gave him the sandwich that was made for him.I
