The words had physically hurt to say, but I’d done it. And so far he’d kept his promise.

Reagan walked in humming.

“You seem happy?” I asked.

She gave me a grin as if I’d spoken the word, “cheese.”

“I am.”

The date she had with Tade had gone well. She’d even gone sailing with him the next day. Things were looking up for her. She strolled off, continuing with her melody.

I looked at the search bar for the millionth time. I hadn’t yet taken Gavin’s advice and reached out to my father. Closing my eyes, I took the plunge and typed in, Weber International Group.

It came right up and I clicked the link. On the about us page, a more recent picture of my father took up half the page. He hadn’t changed much. I could see why Mom had been so attracted to him.

His bio was sparse with details. Outside of his undergraduate degree from Harvard and a master’s at Wharton, I found out very little about the man. He had no social media presence and nowhere was he linked to Alonso Aparicio, the drug lord. I also couldn’t find out if he was married or had other kids. Either he was a ghost or he had people working day and night to keep him out of the public eye. I was betting on the later.

I closed my laptop, unsure how to approach him. There wasn’t an email listed for him. If I called his office, what would I say? Can I speak to Gregor Weber? And when they asked me who I was, the only thing that might get me to him would be to say I was his long-lost daughter. That was if they’d believe me. Gavin was right that springing it on him like that wouldn’t work.

I wanted to talk to Mom. Though she hadn’t told me not to contact him, I didn’t think I could talk to her about it. As it was, I worried day and night about her safety. The case that she couldn’t tell me details about put her life in jeopardy.

Lee had pulled me aside that night after dinner and told me protecting my mom was his number one priority. The fact that I believed him had earned him extra points in my book.

I also hadn’t talked to Reagan about it. How could I? She was so sweet and couldn’t lie to save her ass. If her parents ever asked her who my parents were, she’d cave and tell them. I didn’t want to be the catalyst that sent her mother over the edge and made her pull out of school.

Thus, I was stuck to bear the secret alone. Which brought me back to Gavin. It had been freeing to talk to him about it.

I took a cleansing breath. I had to stop thinking about him.

Not wanting to stay inside another minute, I went for workout clothes. My classes were done for the day, so maybe yoga would help clear my head. I checked my watch.
