Mother by Chance

Chapter 22: The Twin Sister

I sat in stunned silence, trying to process the information my mother had just revealed. A twin sister? Adopted by a different family?

It was too much to take in.

My mother reached out and took my hand. "I'm so sorry, Alex," she said. "I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted to protect you."

I pulled my hand away, feeling a mix of emotions: anger, sadness, and confusion. "Why didn't you tell me?" I asked, my voice shaking with emotion.

My mother took a deep breath before speaking. "I was scared, Alex. I was scared of what might happen to you if you knew the truth. I was scared of the Order of the Red Hand."

I felt a surge of anger. My mother had been scared? What about me? I was the one who had been living a lie.

"What's my sister's name?" I asked, my voice firm.

My mother hesitated before speaking. "Her name is Samantha," she said. "She was adopted by a family in California."

I felt a sense of determination wash over me. I had to find my sister. I had to know the truth about my family and my past.

"I need to find her," I said, my voice firm.

My mother nodded, a small smile on her face. "I'll help you, Alex. We'll find your sister together."

But as we sat there, making plans to find my sister, I couldn't shake off the feeling that we were being watched. The Order of the Red Hand was still out there, and they would stop at nothing to keep the truth from me.

I stood up, determination burning within me. "I'm going to California," I said. "I'm going to find my sister."

My mother nodded, a look of concern on her face. "Be careful, Alex. The Order of the Red Hand is still out there."

I nodded, my heart racing with anticipation. I was ready to face whatever lay ahead.

As I packed my bags and prepared to leave, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. I was finally going to uncover the truth about my family and my past.

But as I looked at my mother, I knew that I had to be careful. The Order of the Red Hand was still out there, and they would stop at nothing to keep the truth from me.
