Chapter Ten
Sandra's hands shook as she walked down the hallway to the apartment of the mystery man. She was afraid for her life, for what she might find out and most importantly, she was afraid of her future.
Whatever was in the folder was going to change her life even more. The way her parents had put it in the letter made it sound like this was the end of a normal life. No going to school and getting a job, no diner and drinks with friends on a Saturday night, no great romance, that could lead to marriage and maybe to children.
She suddenly realized just how badly she wanted all of that.
She turned to go back to the elevator to leave when she remembered the man in the apartment, he, for some reason, deserved to know whatever information she had about his father. She may be able to hide from her future but this man couldn't hide from his past.
She also knew that this man's father may have been the man that saved Sandra and put her up for adoption. What kind of life would she be living now, if he hadn't helped her?
And if this man's father had died for it, for saving her, his son deserved to know what was in this file, normal life or not.
When she reached his door she stood for several minutes staring at the door. Everything seemed strangely familiar and she wondered if she had ever been here before.
She finally knocked and the door opened soon after.
"Oh my God."
