I was cooking dinner when Mia burst through the door, shouting, \u201cMom! You have to meet my new friend!\u201dWhen I saw them, my heart stopped. The girl beside Mia was her mirror image \u2014 same curls, same hazel eyes, same dimple.\u201cThis is Sophie,\u201d Mia grinned. \u201cWe look like twins, right?\u201dI forced a smile, but dread coiled in my stomach. I sent Daniel a photo with the message: Guess which one\u2019s ours? Minutes later, he called, his voice tight. \u201cI\u2019m coming home early.\u201dWhen Daniel arrived, he froze at the sight of Sophie. His questions to her were oddly intense: where she\u2019d lived before, her mother\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSasha,\u201d Sophie said.Daniel turned pale.That night, I overheard him on the phone: \u201cYou should\u2019ve warned me you were moving back here, Sasha. I haven\u2019t told my wife.\u201d My blood ran cold.I tracked him with Find My Phone when he left at midnight and followed him the next day to a house where a woman hugged him at the door. Bursting in, I demanded answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sasha revealed the truth: years ago, she had twins with Daniel\u2019s brother, Evan. Evan wanted to give one up for adoption. Daniel took one \u2014 Mia \u2014 to raise as his own. Sasha kept Sophie.\u201cYou\u2019ve been lying to me for seven years?\u201d I shouted.Daniel whispered, \u201cI didn\u2019t want Mia to feel different. I thought I was protecting her.\u201dBut now Mia and Sophie had found each other. We couldn\u2019t hide it anymore.They deserve to know,\u201d I said, tears streaming. \u201cWe start with the truth \u2014 for both of them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
