My Brother's Fiancée Was The Daughter My Mother Lost 30 Years Ago

Chapter 3: The Betrayal Hidden In The Family

The name on the letter changed everything.

It belonged to my father's younger brother.

Uncle Robert.

The man who had always been considered part of our family.

He attended every holiday.

He celebrated every birthday.

He was the person my father trusted most.

But according to the letter, Robert had been involved in Lily's disappearance.

At first, my father refused to believe it.

"This cannot be true."

He held the paper tightly.

"My brother would never do this."

But Ethan had already discovered more evidence.

Years ago, Robert had financial problems.

He owed large amounts of money.

And shortly after Lily disappeared, he received a large payment from someone.

My father sat down.

The strongest man in our family suddenly looked broken.

Because the truth was not just about losing a daughter.

It was about realizing someone close to him had destroyed his family.

Claire looked at my mother.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

My mother's eyes filled with tears.

"Because I was ashamed."

"I thought everyone would blame me."

Claire looked hurt.

"I spent thirty years thinking nobody wanted me."

My mother immediately held her hand.

"You were never unwanted."

"You were stolen from us."

That night, our family started searching for the truth.

But someone else was searching too.

The next morning, we discovered something terrifying.

The original adoption records had disappeared.

Someone had entered the storage room and taken them.

And there was only one person who knew where those records were kept.

My father.
