The words hung in the air like a heavy secret, one that I wasn’t sure I was ready to uncover. What was all this? What had my grandfather been involved in that had gone unnoticed for so many years?
My heart raced. This was no longer just a family wedding. It had become something else—a turning point in a story I hadn’t even known existed.
“Come with me, Mira,” my grandfather said, his eyes steady as he locked gazes with mine. “It’s time you knew who we really are.”
I followed him, my mind whirling with a thousand questions, but there was one thing I knew for sure: everything was about to change. And I wasn’t sure if I was ready for it, but there was no turning back now.
