Chapter Twenty-Two

Aiden

Gage answered my call with, “Are you planning on coming back to the office anytime soon? Or am I handling these meetings on my own?”

I ignored his sarcasm and said, “Neither. You’re canceling our meetings. I’m headed to the Sinclair Security offices. Meet me there.”

The sarcasm fell from Gage’s voice. He was all business when he said, “Why? What happened?”

“I don’t know,” I answered. “Maybe nothing. Maybe everything.”

“Cryptic much?” Gage complained.

“I have to call Cooper. I’ll explain when I see you.”

I thought about the comb in my pocket, carefully wrapped in tissue, and Violet’s brother, a carbon copy of my cousin Vance. A little older. But the same blue eyes. The exact same shade of blonde hair. The same build, the same chin, the same nose. He was the right age.

I wasn’t ready to hope we’d found what we’d been searching for. I’d considered verifying his identity before telling Gage, but I wouldn’t shut Gage out. We were in this together.

Wondering if I was jumping the gun, I called Cooper Sinclair at Sinclair Security. Cooper and his brothers had taken over the company from their father and grown it into the premier security company in the southeast, arguably in the entire country.

We’d grown up together. The Sinclairs were like family. Ever since we’d discovered Gage’s mother, my aunt Anna, had given up a child for adoption when she’d been in college, we’d been searching for him. We’d lost enough family already.

My parents were gone, Gage’s parents were gone, all four of them killed over a love affair gone wrong. Anna’s missing child was the root of it all. My aunt Anna and uncle James had met in college while she was dating James’s best friend, William. For reasons none of us had discovered, Anna broke up with William.

She took a semester off, and while she was away she fell in love with James through long letters and brief visits. She’d returned to Atlanta engaged to James. They’d married a short time later and from all reports, and my memory of childhood, had been deeply devoted to one another.

It wasn’t until Charlie stumbled upon the adoption records that we’d learned Anna hadn’t just broken up with William, she’d had his child and given it up for adoption. William, for his part, played the devoted family friend for years, brushing off Anna’s defection as ancient history. All the while he’d been seething with envy and rage.

William had been responsible for James and Anna’s murders. He’d stalked my cousin Annalise for years, transferring his obsession with Anna to the daughter who could have been her twin. When my parents discovered the truth, William had killed them rather than face the scandal.

So many lives torn apart over love and jealousy.

Whoever Anna’s missing child was, he was walking into a mess. We were desperate to find him, but he might not be happy to learn that while his biological mother was one of the best women I’d ever known, his father was a murderous psychopath.
