Twenty years ago, as a young midwife, I promised a dying mother I would raise her twins, Nika and Angela. I adopted them, loved them, and devoted my life to their well-being.
When they discovered a letter from their biological father, John, hidden in the attic, they felt betrayed. They confronted me, saying I had lied to them my whole life, and packed my things, locking me out.
Heartbroken but determined, I went to John, and together we explained the full story to the twins. They realized my years of care and sacrifice, and slowly, trust began to rebuild. Within days, they invited me back, and we began the fragile, honest work of healing—proving that love, even after deception, can survive when it is rooted in care and truth.
