Maeve“I—I am not goi—going to si—sit back and let you push me in the cor—corner just because you are the boss.”It was funny listening to him stammer and stumble over his words.“Boss? We aren’t at the office, and you are not even my employee. You are working on a project for my company, and even if I was your boss, this is totally different. I am not talking to you as a boss. I am talking to you as Maeve’s boyfriend!”Evans growled when Andro called me his girlfriend.“She is not your girlfriend. She is my wife! Our marriage is legal.”He argued.“I am not disputing the fact that the papers you both signed in court are legal. I am saying that it doesn’t matter what that paper says because nothing happened between you both after the papers were signed, and she broke up with you before you could walk the aisle. Now, she doesn’t want you anymore, and she is with me. I hate that you are bothering her so much and I have warned you to stop, but you have refused to listen to me, so you lea

Maeve“I will be a little late, but I will come as soon as I sort everything out.”I told Theo on the phone. I forgot to call them that I would be a little late.It took longer than I expected for the police to arrive to check things out after I called them, but they were in my apartment now, and after explaining everything that happened, I stepped aside and let them do their job.“Okay, we will be waiting.”Theo said and hung up.“I am sorry. I should have just listened to you earlier.”I told Andro, who wordlessly pulled me into a hug that I didn’t even know I needed until his arms wrapped around me.“No, even if it wasn’t today, you would have had to deal with this. Better now than later.”He told me. I sighed deeply.Nothing was missing from my hours, and CCTV footage already showed him entering my apartment, even though I didn’t give him access, so I have a case against him.I just hope I will be able to get rid of him with this.“We have seen everything, and we will invite the s

Maeve“She is here!”I heard someone say as soon as I got out of the car. A woman came running towards me.She was young, so I didn’t think she was my mom, but she still looked excited to see me.“Hi, Ales!”She said to Andro, who waved at her and went behind the car to get out our weekend bags.“Good evening.”I greeted the woman who stood in front of me, smiling happily.“Hi, my name is Joan, and I am Alexander’s wife!”She introduced herself.“It’s nice to meet you.”I told her.“Can I hug you?”She requested, and I nodded.“Yes!”She cheered and pulled me into a hug.“Finally met you! Wow! I can’t believe this!”She sounded so happy to meet me, which made me wonder how long she had known me without knowing what I looked like.Xander said he got married right after high school, which means they are high school sweethearts, so she must have known me longer than the others’ wives.“You are welcome, Maeve. Believe me when I say I have heard a lot about you, you as a baby.”She correct

MaeveIn the days after the DNA test was released and I found out I was really Maeve Russell, I had imagined meeting my parents again a lot of times, but not one of those imaginations prepared me for this moment.The moment of looking into the aging eyes of the two people who brought me into the world.The fact that I could tell they were a bit surprised by my presence since my brothers obviously haven’t told them.They told me they wanted me to be the one to tell them.I was supposed to introduce myself to them, but all I could do after meeting them was stare at them.I felt a sudden tightness in my throat as I tried to form a word.Words became so heavy that not even my name came out of my mouth.It didn’t help that my brothers started entering the room one after the other.“A beautiful young lady,”My mom said with a pleasant smile.“She is Alessandro’s girlfriend.”Thomas told my parents and looked at me with an encouraging smile.I knew what he wanted me to do, but I couldn’t do

Maeve“Is this real? Is this real?”My dad asked as he came to sit near my mom and me. He took my hand in his as if to be sure I was real.“It’s real, Mom, Dad. The DNA test confirms it.”Theo told my parents.“DNA test? How long have you guys known? How did you find her? The people declared her dead.”My mom bemoaned.“They were wrong. She is alive and well.”James said to my mom.“Please, how is this possible?”My dad asked. Theo was the one tasked with explaining everything since he was the one who actually found me.Everyone listened to him explain what we already knew to our parents, who listened quietly.The more he spoke, the closer my parents got to me until I was sandwiched between both of them.I didn’t mind.“I can’t believe this is real. I can’t believe you are real.”My mom said after Theo finished telling them everything.“Is this real life? Am I dreaming again?”My dad sobbed. Again? Has he been dreaming of finding me and bringing me back home?I felt sad thinking about

Maeve“So, how did you navigate having five sons?”I asked, and my mom started crying again.“They were terrible at it.”Charles revealed with a bitter laugh.“Yeah, since we were more, they both moved out and left us in the house, and the first two years were terrible, especially during visitation.”I could only imagine how bad it had been for them.“I don’t even want to think about it.”James said with a sadness in his voice that could only come from remembering a terrible time.“Then let’s not talk about it. You both are back together, which means you have healed, and I am here alive and well.”I let out.“I had a good life.”I added before anyone could say anything. My mom sobbed again.“I had a really good childhood. I don’t remember the year at the orphanage, but I do remember the day I was adopted, and I lived a very happy life after I was adopted. My parents were amazing. My dad died years later, and my mom continued to be amazing. She loves me like she gave birth to me, so yo

Maeve“My parents have nothing to do with what happened.”I told James.“I am not saying they had anything to do with it, I am just sa—““No, they really had no idea. They thought I was brought there as a baby and stayed until they adopted me. If they knew what happened, they wouldn’t have let me go back to the orphanage every year. They would have tried their best to make me forget.”I pointed out. I refuse to let them suspect my parents.“I have been going there every year until now. I have been there this year.”I added.“They could have easily made me forget my past life if they had done anything illegal. I was five, and I would have forgotten completely. They were open with everything—at least what they thought was the truth.”I told him.“I am sorry. You are right, your parents definitely didn’t know.”James apologized.“Yes, but I do agree that the orphanage should be investigated. I am thinking of going back there to ask questions.”I let out and was faced with disapproval fro

Maeve“It was pretty easy. Most of the kids were adults, and Theo had already moved in with his best friend. We didn’t tell them because we didn’t want them to hate us.”My dad added.“Why would they hate you?”I couldn’t think of my brothers hating my parents. Even Theo couldn’t stay away forever.“We lost you, Maeve, and we didn’t think of them before making our decision to separate from each other. We didn’t think of how it would affect them.”“So, you hid your love? That must have been hard.”I whispered.“No, as hard as losing you, Maeve. That was the hardest part of everything. We missed you growing up. You should have been with us.”I knew I should have been with them, and I felt sad that my disappearance ruined their love and made them fall apart for ten whole years, but if all that didn’t happen, I wouldn’t have found my family, and I probably would never have gotten with Andro.“I think everything happened for a reason, and I really don’t want to question that reason because

Maeve“They want me to spend the night with them.”I told Andro when I finally got to talk to him after dinner. With so many people in the house, including the kids, there were so many things going on at the same time.I also had to be introduced to all the kids because they turned in for the night. The kids were very happy to finally meet me since all their dads talked about me a lot to them.I thought it was just Theodore, but it turned out that all my brothers talked about me to their kids. Even though I wasn’t with them, they never forgot me, and that made me so happy.“That’s okay, you don’t have to worry about me.”He stroked my hair as he spoke.“You are happy.”He commented when I couldn’t stop smiling.“I am happy. I still feel a little like an imposter, but I am also very happy.”I told him.“What matters is that you are happy and you have accepted that they are your family.”I already accepted that even before I met all of them.“Your dad keeps looking at me.”He whispered

Maeve“Do you have a photo album of me from when I was a baby?”I asked, and she nodded. She stood up and walked to a shelf.“I have a lot of photos and videos of you. I love my sons, but there were five of them, and I was also told by the doctor that you would be a boy, so when you came out as a girl, it was a party for the whole family, and from when you were born, your whole life was documented because I wanted a keepsake to show you when you grow up.”I listened to her talk and waited for her to bring out all that she had with her.“Do you want me to play the videos for you?”She looked at me, and I nodded.“One minute.”She said and reached for her phone. She didn’t even say anything; she just called someone and hung up once the person answered.Less than a minute later, there was a knock on the door, and James walked into the room.“Mother, you called?”I can’t deny the fact that I was stunned by how fast he responded, even though she didn’t say anything on the phone.“Yes, plea
