Selene's smile softened as she studied Zayden's face."What do you need to tell me about Rosie?"For a moment, she wondered whether he was finally ready to talk about Rosie's biological mother. He had told her very little about the woman who had died, and Selene had never pushed him for details. She understood that some wounds needed time before they could be touched."Is it about her mother?" she asked gently.Zayden shook his head."Not exactly."He leaned back against the sofa, his gaze drifting toward the staircase. The house was quiet, and the faint ticking of the clock filled the pause between them."It's about what Rosie understands about her mother's death."Selene waited." She knows other children have mothers who pick them up from school, attend their activities, and tuck them into bed. Sometimes, she asks me why she doesn't have a mother that can do those things."Selene's chest tightened."What do you tell her?""The truth, as simply as I can. I tell her that her mother l

Selene read the letter twice, hoping she had misunderstood something.The cream-colored paper trembled slightly between her fingers as she sat at the breakfast table. Outside, sunlight streamed through the windows, but she barely noticed it.She had expected another routine document request. Perhaps the agency needed her signature or wanted to update some old information.Instead, the letter informed her that a file connected to her childhood adoption had recently been reopened.There was no explanation of why.Her brows drew together as she reread the final paragraph.We recommend that you contact our office directly should you require further clarification regarding this matter."Further clarification?" she muttered.What kind of clarification could she possibly need when they hadn't explained anything in the first place?Selene placed the letter on the table and stared at it.She had spent most of her childhood believing she was simply an unwanted orphan. Her biological parents had

Selene stared at the nurse, unable to make sense of her words.Your mother didn't give up only one child.The sentence echoed in her mind, each repetition bringing more questions.“What do you mean?” Selene asked, leaning forward. “You said my mother had other children. How many? Where are they now?”The nurse lowered her eyes, rubbing her palms together beneath the table. The café was quiet, with only the occasional clatter of cups coming from behind the counter, but the older woman's nervousness was impossible to miss.“Please, tell me what you know.” Selene's voice trembled despite her effort to remain calm. “I've spent my entire life believing I was alone. If there's someone out there connected to me, I deserve to know.”The nurse swallowed.“I understand, dear. I do.” She glanced toward the window before looking back at Selene. “But I can't give you a name.”“Why not?”“Because I promised someone I wouldn't.”Selene's fingers tightened around her cup. The coffee had gone cold, bu

Selene was still staring at the message when Zayden returned to the living room.He noticed her expression immediately.“What happened?”She looked up, her fingers tightening around her phone. “Someone sent me a message.”Zayden approached her. “What kind of message?”Without answering, she handed him the phone.His eyes moved across the screen.‘Stop looking for the other child.’The warmth disappeared from his face.“When did you receive this?”“Just a few minutes ago. It came from an unknown number.”Zayden read it again, his jaw tightening.“Did you tell anyone else about the records?”“Only you, Daniel, and the people at the archive who were present.”“Then whoever sent this either knows about the investigation or has access to information connected to it.”Selene nodded slowly.“That's what I thought.”He looked at her. “Are you frightened?”“Of course I am.”Her honest answer made him pause.Selene drew her knees closer to herself, looking down at the phone.“But I'm also angry

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 at the screen.For a second, her expression changed. Her eyes widened slightly before she quickly looked away.“I don't know what you're talking about.”“It's a message sent from your account shortly after Selene's miscarriage.”She folded her arms. “So?”“You told me you didn't know what had happened until the following morning. You said you only came to support me after I contacted you.” He lowered the phone. “This message was sent hours before that.”Bianca forced a laugh.“Maybe I heard somet
