While renovating, I stumbled upon a hidden trapdoor that led to a basement. There, I found poems and a novel my father had written—a love story between two men. This secret side of my father shocked me. The man I knew as strict and conventional had hidden this part of himself. He left me the house so I could uncover his true identity.
I showed Hazel, and together we realized our father had struggled with self-acceptance. Publishing his work gave me closure, and it brought my sister and me closer than ever.

Stacey and I were inseparable, but everything changed after our mother passed. While going through her belongings, we found a hidden room with photos of Stacey as a baby. The couple in the photos wasn’t our parents.
Stacey was devastated. She learned she was adopted, and furious with me for not telling her. I had kept the secret as promised to our mother. The tension between us lasted months, but when Stacey became ill and needed financial help, I stepped in without hesitation.
Eventually, Stacey realized that family isn’t about blood—it’s about love. We reconciled, and our bond was stronger than ever.
