After the worst day of my life, I lost my temper at a barista who accidentally spilled coffee on me only to discover he was the café owner and the person I was meant to interview with. Mortified, I stormed out. But just as I turned back, I noticed a birthmark on his hand identical to mine. Something deep inside told me this man was connected to me.

Rattled and filled with questions, I turned to my grandmother, who had raised me after my parents disappeared. She shut down immediately when I asked about my father and warned me not to return to the café. I ignored her warning. When I went back, the man Drake shared a stunning truth: he wasn’t my father, but my uncle, hidden from me my entire life.

Drake revealed that my father had wanted to raise me, but my grandmother had taken custody and disappeared with me. Devastated and angry, I confronted her. She confessed everything. Feeling betrayed and disoriented, I walked out of her house and asked Drake to take me to the man I’d never had the chance to know my real father. On the way there, I got surprising news: I was offered the job I thought I had ruined.

Later that day, I stood at my father’s door, heart pounding. When he opened it and saw me, he instantly pulled me into a hug like he’d been waiting forever. That moment said it all. I hadn’t just found employment or uncovered a hidden past I had finally found my family.
