My husband’s family boycotted our wedding because I was "NOT GOOD ENOUGH" for their son — two years later, his mother arrived at my house with ONE REQUEST that made me BREAK DOWN.

"Did Dad know where we lived?"

That night, I showed Mario the documents.

He reached for his phone. "I'm calling my mother."

I took it from his hand.

"Carly, she bought your father's absence."

"And Dad sold it. I need to hear from him before Alison controls another version."

Mario sat beside me. "What do you need?"

The newest letter in Alison's envelope included a phone number. Dad had written to tell her he planned to contact me himself.

"One honest conversation with my dad," I said.

That was why she'd come, not because guilt made her brave, but because she was losing control.

Dad agreed to meet me days later. We met at a quiet diner while Mario waited outside with Riley.

Dad stood when I entered.

"You look like your mom."
