"Yes, that you are," James said as he put back the key to the family archives and sighed. "I don't think you can find everything you want from the archives. I can provide you with any information you want to ask about your true heritage."
Jacin looked at him, her eyes filled with curiosity and determination. "Where should we start? There are so many questions I have, but I guess the most important one is about my mother. Why would she keep me hidden? Why not come to the Norman family for protection?"
James took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. "Your mother, Elara, was a brilliant and resourceful woman. She was very determined and stubborn, even opposing me, something my children never dreamed of doing, which was why I liked her and approved of her back then despite not agreeing to their match. I thought she died, that's why I never looked for her and also never knew of your existence."
