Finished

Kyla realized she really did resemble Megan–especially her eyes and eyebrows.

The arch of her brows, the shape of her eyes … every tiny detail mirrored Megan perfectly.

She was almost certain that she was the biological daughter the couple had left in an orphanage all those years ago.

Megan, for her part, was studying Kyla just as closely.

Even though she already knew this was the child she had abandoned, and even had her photos, sitting face–to–face with her now was entirely new.

No matter what, Kyla had been Megan’s firstborn–carried for nine months, delivered through pain and danger.

After all these years of absence, a wave of guilt washed over Megan whenever their eyes met, making it impossible to meet Kyla’s gaze directly.

Even if leaving her had once seemed unavoidable, it didn’t excuse the fact that she had been a heartless mother.

James crossed his legs, lit a cigarette without concern, and exhaled smoke as he grumbled, “Kyla, why are you still wearing that mask? What, you won’t even show your face to your own parents?”

Does she think Megan or I am contagious? Or does she just look down on us?

“Honey, speak gently to Kyla. She’s our daughter–don’t be so harsh, okay?”

“How am I being harsh? I’m just worried that our own daughter doesn’t even see us as her parents! She’s sitting there wearing a mask while we’re about to eat. What’s up with that?”

James didn’t care what Megan thought. Since Kyla was his biological child, who wouldn’t even exist without him, he believed he had the ultimate claim on her life. His giving her life itself was a favor she could never repay.

He believed he had to assert control from the start. If he softened now, she might defy him later, making it impossible to demand obedience, respect, or financial aid.

Kyla replied flatly, “I had an accident and was disfigured. I look awful now. I kept my mask on so I wouldn’t shock you. Because of my face, my life with the Jensons hasn’t been easy. Since you came looking for me and did your research, you already know all this, right?”

James and Megan froze.
