The hand she had withdrawn from mine seemed to linger in the air, unsure of where to go. Then, with a sudden shift, she adjusted her skirt, smoothing it down as if it had become an unexpected source of discomfort. "No," she replied with a lightness that felt forced. "And I've never heard that name before." In a swift motion, she rose from the couch, a bit too hastily, as if the very act of sitting had become unbearable. "I'll make us some tea." I observed her retreat towards the kitchen, a heavy sigh escaping my lips, echoing in the silence that enveloped us.

There was more beneath the surface, and I wasn't prepared to let it go. So, I followed her, driven by a mix of concern and curiosity. Upon entering the kitchen, I found her at the sink, kettle in hand, her back turned to me. Her movements were delicate, almost as if she feared that any sudden jolt might spill not just the water but the secrets she was holding back. "Aunt," I said softly, my voice barely above a whisper. "You obviously know something. Please." I inched closer, hoping my proximity would encourage her to open up. Yet, she remained steadfast, her back still facing me.

"I need you to tell me," I pressed, my voice wavering despite my attempts to maintain composure. "I'm begging you." With a resigned sigh, she walked to the other side of the kitchen, placing the kettle on the stove with a deliberate slowness. Finally, she turned slightly, her eyes meeting mine, revealing a hint of the turmoil beneath her calm exterior. "Yes, I do know someone named Landon Beauregard," she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper. My heart raced, eyebrows shooting up in surprise, prompting me to step even closer.

"Why did you deny it before?" I questioned, urgency creeping into my tone. "That doesn't matter right now. What's crucial is this: where did you hear that name?" "From Dean Beauregard. I've known him for a while. He told me that Landon is his father and that I might be his sister. He even showed me an old photograph of my mom with Landon." She inhaled sharply, her eyes fluttering shut for a brief moment as if bracing herself against the weight of the revelation. "What did Dean tell you about Landon?" she asked, reopening her eyes, narrowing them as if assessing the truth of my words.

"He said that my mom and Landon were a couple, but his family disapproved. He was next in line to inherit the entire Beauregard business empire, and they made it abundantly clear that if he married someone of her status, he would lose everything. He chose the empire, and that was that. They never saw each other again." She scoffed, a mixture of disbelief and bitterness. "And?" My brow furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean?" "What else did Dean tell you? That can't be all." "Well, I couldn't take in more after that.

It was too much to process, so I left." "There's so much more to this story, dear. Come, sit with me." She gestured to a chair beside the counter, pulling it out for me. As I settled next to her, she stared at the counter, as if it held the answers to the questions swirling in my mind. "Landon fought for my sister," she began, her voice steadying as she recalled the past. "He argued with his family countless times. They even envisioned a future together amidst all that chaos. She was already pregnant at that time, and he knew it.

But when the final ultimatum hit, he chose the empire, believing that power was the only way to rise above his family and eventually control them." I sighed, the weight of her words settling heavily on my chest. "I've never met him, so I'm assuming that plan didn't work out." She nodded, her expression somber. "He promised her he'd return once he was untouchable, but he delayed for years. His father made the takeover a battle. By the time he was in charge, you were already four years old. He never sought out my sister or me to ask about you. Eventually, we both vowed to forget him.

He had clearly made his choice." "He chose to stay away for good." My voice dropped, the realization hitting me like a cold wave. It seemed he had fought in the beginning but ultimately surrendered. "Landon has some nerve, coming back into your life through his son." "Actually, Dean did all that digging on his own. At least, that's what I gathered from our conversation." "So even now, your father hasn't bothered to look for you." Her expression hardened momentarily before softening again. "I'm sorry, dear. We've been through so much.

I know you didn't hear everything from Dean because you left, but one thing is certain: Landon is your father." "What I don't understand is how you said he fought for my mom and me, yet Dean made it sound like he didn't fight at all." She scoffed, a hint of frustration in her voice. "Landon's likely drowning in guilt, which is why he might've chosen to present that version of events. I could have easily said he didn't fight for you and your mother at all, but I didn't want to deceive you." I intertwined my fingers, as if they held the power to guide my next steps.

Conflicted, I wrestled with the information my aunt had just shared. Was it a blessing or a curse to finally know who my father was? Lost in thought, I felt her warm hand on my cheek, her smile radiating comfort. "Oh, my sweet girl. Your birthday is just a few weeks away. What a way to discover your father. I'm so sorry I never mentioned him all these years. Whatever decision you make, know that I'm right here for you." Wrapping my arms around her, I closed my eyes, releasing a small sigh of relief.

"Thank you." **Maddox** As Harper and I shared breakfast at my place, my mind was consumed with thoughts of her desire to return home. I couldn't shake the feeling that she wanted to see if Grayson was still there, lingering in her thoughts like an unwelcome ghost. When she mentioned asking her neighbor instead, a wave of relief washed over me momentarily, but I still hadn't heard whether the neighbor had confirmed Grayson's presence. The day dragged on, the uncertainty gnawing at my mind, refusing to let go.

Even when I had defended them in the lobby and dropped them off at her aunt's place, the question bubbled just beneath the surface, eager to escape. It was only thirty minutes after I had left them that my phone lit up with her name on the screen, catching me off guard. "Let me guess, you're already missing me?" I teased, trying to lighten the mood. She chuckled, but there was an underlying tension in her voice that I couldn't ignore, confirmed by the heavy sigh that followed. "Is everything okay?" I asked, my concern deepening. "I just spoke to my aunt, and guess what?

She confirmed that Landon is definitely my father, but she also shared so many other things about him that I don't know how to feel." As she began to recount everything she had learned from her aunt, I did my best to focus, but the same question looped relentlessly through my mind. I needed to know. I wouldn't find peace until I did. "So, yeah, that's it," she exhaled, sounding as if the weight of her revelations bore down on her. "I guess I have to call Dean again so we can talk or something.

I've wanted to know who my father was for so long, and now that I do, my emotions are just all over the place. Maybe I just need time or something. I don't know. What do you think about all this?" "It's crazy. But there's something I need to ask you," I said, my tone shifting to seriousness. "What's up?" "You mentioned you'd ask your neighbor to check your front porch to see if Grayson was there. You still haven't told me what she said. Was he there?" Silence enveloped the other end of the line for a few seconds, stretching uncomfortably. Then, she chuckled in disbelief.

"Are you serious right now? I just told you about my dad and the complicated relationship he had with my mom, and how it makes me feel, but you're worried about whether or not Grayson is still on my front porch?" "It's just that you haven't told me what your neighbor said! So...what did she say?" After a long, disappointed sigh, she hung up on me, leaving me staring at my phone in frustration. I pulled over to the side of the road, closing my eyes to process what had just happened.

All she wanted was for me to listen, to be there for her, but I had been too fixated on the possibility of Grayson still being at her place. In that moment, I realized I had messed up. Conclusion In the aftermath of the revelations, Harper found herself standing at a crossroads, the weight of her newfound identity pressing heavily upon her. The truth about Landon Beauregard, her father, was both a gift and a burden. While the knowledge of her lineage illuminated parts of her past, it also cast shadows of uncertainty over her future.

As she processed the conflicting emotions swirling within her-betrayal, longing, and a flicker of hope-she felt the comforting presence of her aunt beside her, a steadfast anchor in the tumultuous sea of her thoughts. The warmth of their bond reminded her that, no matter how complicated her family history might be, she was not alone in navigating the storm.
