James Sullivan was a man of logic—until he saw a patient wearing his late wife Emily’s exact wedding ring. Emily had died seven years ago, and James had stored the ring safely. But now it was missing… and on a stranger’s hand.
Driven by disbelief, he followed the woman, Sarah, through the city and to a quiet home. Through a window, he saw her with a man, a child, and—shockingly—Emily’s father. The little girl looked just like Emily as a child. When James accidentally made a noise, a young man came out—he looked just like James.
Inside, secrets spilled. Sarah was Emily’s hidden sister, raised apart. Michael, the young man, was Emily’s son—James’s son. Emily had hidden her pregnancy because James once said he never wanted children. She had faked an abortion and raised Michael in secret.
The day Emily died, she had been coming to tell James the truth.
Now, James sat face-to-face with the family he never knew existed. A granddaughter with Emily’s name looked up and asked, “Are you my grandpa?”
For the first time in years, James felt something break free inside him. Not logic. Not facts. Just love.
