137 Hello, My Sister

“Liv, do you remember when I told you that there was a woman in Las Vegas who thought I was Elena? That woman was Rose.” I had to confess, “I'm asking you to look into this because I suspect Mia is Elena. I met Rose in person.”

“So you got something out of Rose, but you weren't going to share it with us.” Mark squinted at me. “Why?”

“I just want you to put the investigation on hold,” I said, “Since she's my sister, I was wondering if I could look into this myself. I swear, if I find anything, I'll let you know. But not yet. I need to reach out to that Rose again and find some hard evidence.”

“Eva, do you also suspect that Mia came back for another reason?” Liv asked. “But I think you're trying to protect Mia, which I don't understand.”

“She's my sister,” I could only say. “She's my sister until I find out everything. Please, leave the rest to me.”

Liv glanced at Mark, who hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing. But I knew his patience wouldn't last.
