And so she skipped that. “I’m looking for some recipe book. I wanna try Mexican food.” That was not surprising. Indeed, it was his hobby. “Have you found it?” “Yes. Here.” He showed the book in his hand with a bright child-like face showing what he had found. She glanced at it. It was like what Jeff said. A Mexican recipes book. “What about you? What are you looking for?” Her finger pointed not specifically at one book, but more trailing followed her, taking steps one by one. “What do you think I look for in the business section?” she asked back. Wasn’t that obvious? She was looking for a book about business. Should she answer that?

A long-forgotten relative resurfaced, claiming a right to our family's legacy and stirring the echoes of an unresolved past. Her name was Victoria, an enigmatic woman with a striking resemblance to my late grandmother. Her sudden appearance sent shockwaves through our lives, as she unveiled a hidden truth that threatened to unravel the tapestry we had so carefully woven. Victoria's story was one of secrets and betrayal, intertwined with the history of our family. She claimed to be the product of a forbidden love affair that had been concealed for decades. Her presence ignited a whirlwind of emotions within me—curiosity, suspicion, and a deep longing for answers.

The guilt consumed me, As I cradled my son in my arms, the weight of my secrets bore down upon me. I knew deep within my soul that the truth couldn't remain buried forever. It was a ticking time bomb, ready to detonate at any moment and wreak havoc on the fragile threads of my existence. I watched my son's innocent face, his tiny fingers grasping mine, and I made a silent promise to protect him at all costs. He deserved a life built on honesty and integrity, free from the tangled web of lies I had spun. Yet, the fear of losing everything I had worked so hard to secure loomed like a dark cloud overhead.

Just a cold castle that wouldn't let me move on with my life. "Also, What happened?" He asked, rubbing on a part of his shirt where I had painted with my runny makeup. I surely wasn't going to divulge any detail about what grandfather told me. Even if I did, I would look like a liar or delusional maniac. "I can't tell you..." I answered, being as honest as I could, "But let's just say my family isn't the ordinary type in this fucked uptown." "I appreciate your honesty. Not clear but if it makes you feel better. My family especially the Males have a secret that would carry us to our grave."

"Most people would have stayed in the car. You went to the edge of that bridge and faced your demons." She looked out at the garden. "I had to. For my father. He carried that secret for so long to protect me. I couldn't let it stay at the bottom of a river." She turned back to me, her eyes searching mine. "What happens to the book now, Christopher? Is it really over?" "It’s starting," I explained. "The names in that book are being sent to the people who can't be bought. By tomorrow, the Cruz family will have no one to call. No one to protect them. Their power comes from fear and secrets. We just took both away."

But my relief was short-lived. The second Aunt Linda declared she would take me in, the conversation veered in another direction. Uncle James leaned forward, his tone businesslike. “Then there’s the matter of the estate,” he said, looking around the room. “Their… you know…” He paused before saying the word “assets”—the house… we need to determine what will become of everything.” My heart clenched. They were talking about my parents’ belongings, their life savings, like they were things to be divided up.

"You've got no right to talk about love. A hidden girlfriend? Nah, just my replacement." Anger surged within me. Before I could shoot back, her smile turned cruel. She shoved past me, knocking my shoulder hard. "Know your place." Her footsteps faded, leaving me clutching my chest. The pain was unbearable. Luke failed me, but Karma always came back around. Once I calmed down, I went home. Mike called. "Your fiancé got you an animal biology book with real specimens inside. Pretty cool, right? How are you going to thank me?"

I walked closer to him until I stood right in front of him. “Then we go deeper too,” I said firmly. “We unlock everything. Every archive. Every secret. Every file my father or your father ever hid. We find out who is behind this. We find out what they really want. And we end it just like we ended Julian’s little show tonight.” He reached out and gripped my shoulders his hands strong and grounding. “You realize what you are asking? If we dig into the deepest secrets of this family we might find things we don’t want to know. Things that change everything. Things that could break us.”
