"Gabriel's worst mistake is picking up from the street near the orphanage."
Her mother's words went off in her head occasionally like a ticking time bomb. She hasn't been able to do anything other than lock herself in her room, since her mother, no, Mary left and cried her eyes out.
She's not her mother.
Gabriel wasn't her father, and she's nothing but an orphan who he had picked up from the streets. If there's anything Marissa knew too well about her mother, it has to be the fact that she doesn't lie.
There's no way she could have told her such a thing, to ruin their relationship had it been it wasn't the truth, she's not lying. She's not their daughter.
At first, while growing up she suspected that since she was way too close with her father, than her so-called mother and after his death, well you all know the rest.
