PART 2: Vincent Moretti stared at me for what felt like an eternity.
Then Noah ran toward him.
“Dad!”
Vincent dropped to his knees and caught his son, wrapping both arms around him.
The dangerous men surrounding us looked stunned.
“My God…” Vincent whispered. “Say it again.”
Noah buried his face against his father’s chest.
“Dad.”
Vincent closed his eyes.
When he stood, his expression had changed.
“Who are you?”
“Maya.”
“You made him speak?”
“I gave him a sandwich.”
One of the guards almost laughed, but Vincent silenced him with a glance.
Then Noah grabbed my hand.
“She stayed.”
Those two words seemed to affect Vincent even more.
He looked down at my torn coat, worn shoes, and trembling hands.
“When did you last eat?”
I hesitated.
“Yesterday.”
Vincent’s jaw tightened.
“You gave Noah your only food?”
“He was hungry.”
For several seconds, he said nothing.
Then he opened the SUV door.
“Get in.”
My blood turned cold.
“I’m not going anywhere with you.”
To my surprise, Vincent almost smiled.
“That may be the first time someone has told me no in twenty years.”
Noah suddenly clung to my arm.
“Maya comes.”
Vincent looked at his son.
Then at me.
“Apparently, I’ve been overruled.”
Minutes later, I was sitting inside a vehicle worth more than every possession I had ever owned.
Vincent made one phone call.
“Prepare the guest room. And food.”
I stared at him.
“I don’t need charity.”
“This isn’t charity.”
“What is it?”
Before he could answer, the SUV suddenly stopped.
The driver cursed.
Vincent’s men reached beneath their jackets.
A black sedan blocked the road.
Then another appeared behind us.
Vincent’s face hardened.
“Stay down.”
Gunshots cracked through the night.
Noah screamed and grabbed me.
Vincent pulled a pistol, but before he opened the door, Noah whispered something into my ear.
Something impossible.
“Maya… Mommy said you would find me.”
My entire body froze.
His mother had been dead for two years.
Then Noah handed me the photograph he had carried outside the grocery store.
I finally looked closely at the woman’s face.
And my breath disappeared.
Because she was wearing the same silver necklace hanging around my neck.
The necklace my mother had given me before she vanished twenty years ago.
Vincent saw it too.
His gun slowly lowered.
He stared at me as if he had seen a ghost.
“Where did you get that?”
Before I could answer, the SUV door was ripped open.
And a woman’s voice came from the darkness.
“Maya?”
I knew that voice.
I had been dreaming about it since childhood.
My mother was alive.
