My mother’s face was the last thing I expected to see.For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.“Mom?”She smiled through tears.“Aria.”I ran to her.She caught me in her arms, holding me so tightly that I almost forgot everything else.“I thought I’d lost you again,” I whispered.“You never lost me.”I pulled back.“Then why didn’t you tell me you were here?”Her eyes shifted toward the darkness behind her.“Because I wasn’t alone.”I followed her gaze.A man stepped into the light.My heart stopped.He had my father’s eyes.The same dark hair.The same scar above his eyebrow.But he looked older than the man I’d grown up believing was my father.My mother reached for his hand.“Aria, this is your father.”The world seemed to disappear beneath my feet.“No.”His eyes filled with tears.“Aria…”I stepped backward.“The man outside said my father died.”“He lied.”I looked at my mother.“Why?”She swallowed.“Because your father had to disappear.”My grandfather suddenly entered the chamber.
