Chapter 29 - A VISITOR FROM MY MOTHER'S FAMILY

Sunday afternoon was a day to relax but the call that came in after lunch made my stomach churn. Hence, I prepared the stage for an unexpected and unsettling encounter. The sleek glass doors and pristine surfaces amplified the tension as I prepared for the arrival of my maternal family, the people who had left me behind and now sought to re-enter my life. I had kept Mark close to me, and he brought Bruno along with him and that was my limit. But when they called today, I cursed since I was alone in the mansion as my family had gone out for an event at the art museum.
