But I never forgot about my real family.” “How did you find me?” Gianna asked. “Would you believe it? I saw you on TV…in a movie,” he grinned at her. “Really? Which one?” She piped like a child.

I did not care where they were, or if they were here with me, but only that they were okay, and together like they should be. Lisa watched me for a moment before a smile crept along her lips, and she began to speak. “Unfortunately, we have been unable to locate anyone with the same DNA as you, but I’m sure if we keep looking we will find your family. Make no mistake 627, we are looking for them.” I turned my head I to glance at her, so my family had escaped capture. That meant that they were together somewhere safe and alive. I sighed in gratitude, knowing that at least they were safe somewhere and that they hadn’t been forced into the clutches of these monsters.

find connected to that name?” He stared at me with the same green eyes my father had. The same green eyes I had, “It took me close to 16 years, but I found you and your family. I came into town about a month ago asking around for the LaFlamme family, but people were pretty hush about y’all. I decided to go to the city hall to see if I could get some records or just any clues as to where y’all lived and Antonio Argent found me. He told me he could help and then next thing I know I’m waking up in a cell in his basement.” He shivered and I could sense the slightest bit of fear coming from him. My ability to sense emotion was waning and that frightened me. If I couldn’t even do that then I damn

and when I finished, I wiped my eyes, kissed her goodbye, and stood to find Portia waiting for me on a bench not far off. Over the years, Portia and the Shaws had become as big a part of my family as I had theirs. I'd never known my dad, or even his name, and Ernie stepped in to fill that role from the day I met him. Every time my mom had to go through chemo, I'd gone back into foster care, and I had gotten a family that defied all odds. They weren't the couple that people read about who appeared to be wonderful on the outside, only to find out they abused the system for money and neglected the kids in their custody. Ernie and Hensley Shaw just wanted children and hadn't been able to have an

His unwavering support and love gave me the courage to pursue my quest for identity, no matter how daunting it seemed. "Have you found any promising leads?" I asked, eager for any updates. Harvey nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, there have been a few promising leads. My team is working hard to verify the information, and I'm hopeful that we'll have some solid leads soon." I felt a flutter of excitement mixed with nervousness. The prospect of finally uncovering my roots was both exhilarating and overwhelming. I knew that finding my real family would bring closure and a sense of belonging that I had longed for my entire life.

“I need to tell you something.” I frowned. Why was he sounding so serious? “Okay?” He sighed and turned his body to face me completely, “So, when you were in prison, I got a phone call from the foster care. They said that your relatives are looking for you.” “My relatives?” I said, “That’s not possible. They hate me.” “Not your adoptive family, Cassie.” He said, “Your real family. The family that’s related to you by birth.” I was taken aback. What? “My birth family?” I asked, “How did they find me?”

I watched as the assistant wheeled her out of the house and shut the door then I slumped on the couch. The day had been a long one and the flight had been so tiring. All I needed was a rest but mom wouldn't give me the chance. A couple of minutes later, we were all set and ready and then headed to the venue- Vallore's Hall, our company's event center. As soon as we highlighted from the car, I caught sight of my second parents at the entrance. I had two families. Two parents and two siblings and now, two kids. I found out five years ago that my biological family were alive and well and they've been in search of me for years. All thanks to Kyle who turned out to be my cousin, I met my biologic

I sit up and take a deep breath. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to sleep so long, where are we?” I ask rubbing my eyes and stretching “We are in Mobile Alabama ” he says keeping his eyes on the road “It’s fine it was nice to just think to myself for a while. You were right Ro; it does suck not having anyone else but our family. I wish I could grow relationships with people and know they will be in my future, but that’s just not the life we were given, and I hate to say this, but we just have to deal with it.”

I promised the director over and over that I would be back soon. After all, so many patients were still waiting for me. After the conference, I had not gone back to the home I shared with Wendy. Instead, I moved in with Xavier. She sent me messages and said she wanted to talk. I ignored every one of them. She refused to give up and kept calling me. I blocked her number.
