Aiden had felt devastated when he got Ariel's message. He had immediately postponed all meetings and plans and hurried out of his party.
His heart was pounding as he drove to the destination Ariel had sent him. He never expected such a thing to happen after so long of living peacefully with his family; why did it have to happen? Were they never meant to be happy?
Aiden's blood turned cold the moment he reached the street that was sent in the address, he might not have recognized the name from the text at first, but as he slowly drove into it, his bones felt weakened as he remembered that this was the same street his mother had lived after his father divorced her.
He remembered because Grandma Nari had brought him here with an officer to serve a restraining order on Emily. He would never forget it, that was the last day he set eyes on his failure of a mother.
Now, his heart bled as he thought of every possible coincidence that could lead Ariel to his mother.
