Two more years had passed. At a house in London, England a woman is making dinner for her her husband and her daughter. The woman walked into the living room.
"Dinner is ready." She said in a British accent.
"Great I'm hungry."
"One of us is missing."
"I think she's upstairs Sharon."
"I'll get her." She went to the bottom of the stairs. "Isabelle." She said. "Isabelle dinner's ready." "Isabelle Elizabeth King get down her young lady." Suddenly she appeared at the top of the stairs. A beautiful ten year old little girl. She had long black wavy hair and dark blue eyes. She had piece of paper in her hand. She looked upset. "Isabelle what's wrong?"
"I was trying on hats in your room." Isabelle said. "I was in your closet and I found these adoption papers. "Was I adopted mummy?"
"Alex." He came into the living room
"What's the matter?" He asked.
"Isabelle found the papers."
"Oh my."
"Sweetheart come down here daddy and I need to talk to you."
They all sat on the couch.
"To answer your question, yes you are adopted." Sharon said. "See daddy and I wanted a child very much but mummy couldn't get pregnant." "So we contacted an adoption agency and eventually we met a woman and she gave you to us." "She is your birth mum."
"Just because we adopted you doesn't mean we love you any less."
"Why did my birth mum give me away?" Isabelle asked.
"We don't really know." "She was very young maybe eighteen or nineteen." "She said she wanted you to have a better life."
"Do you think she loved me?"
"Yes." "The day she gave you up she looked so sad."
"What's her name?"
"Her name was Samantha Jenner."
"Is Isabelle my real name?"
"Yes your birth mum named you."
"What about my daddy?"
"We don't know." "She never mentioned him." "However you do have an auntie." "She was with your mum a few times when we met with her."
"What's her name?"
"AJ if I recall correctly."
"Mummy, daddy I would like to meet my birth mum please."
"I'm sorry you can't."
"Why?"
"We don't know where she is."
"Doesn't she live in London as well?"
"No." "She's an American."
"So I'm not really a Brit?" "I'm an American?"
"Yes."
"What about auntie AJ?"
"She's an American to."
"I want to find my birth mum."
"When you're eighteen you can." Alex said.
It was Sam's day off. Randy was at work. Sam was at home with the boys. Randy Jr. was six, Elliott was four and Nick was two. Sam was doing the laundry when the phone rang.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hello." "Is this the Orton residence?" The man on the other end of the line asked.
"Yes." "This is Mrs. Orton."
"Mrs. Orton this is Carter I'm with "Plaza Hotels" can you please inform your husband that we found his watch?"
"There must be some mistake my husband and I have never stayed at the Plaza." "When is the last date we stayed?"
"Just last week." "The 23rd"
"I will be right down."
"Ok."
Sam took the kids to a babysitter and drove to the Plaza. She knew she'd never stayed there before. She knew Randy was supposed to have been on a business trip in Seattle last week. She went into the hotel and up to the front desk.
"May I help you?" The man behind the counter asked.
"Are you Carter?"
"Yes."
"I'm Samantha Orton." "You called me and said you'd found my husband's watch."
"Before I show it to you." "May I see a form of identification?"
"Sure." She took out her ID. He showed her the watch. She recognized it as the anniversary present she'd given him two years ago. "That is his." She took it.
"I have the room service bill that he signed." "I would like you to check it just to make sure there's no fraudulent activity." She looked at it. It was Randy's signature. The bill was for a bottle champagne, two-dozen roses, strawberries and whipped cream.
"It's his signature." "Have you ever seen the woman he comes in here with?"
"No." "Every time he checks in he claims you'll be in later."
"Thank you."
Sam cried all the way back to the house. She couldn't believe Randy was cheating on her. When she got home she called AJ.
"Hello?" AJ said.
"Hi." Sam said tearfully.
"Sam what's wrong?"
"Randy's cheating on me."
"What?"
"I got a call from the Plaza." "They said they found Randy's watch." "At first I thought it was a mistake." "I took the kids to the babysitters and I went to the Plaza." "The watch they found was the watch I gave him on our fourth anniversary." "They had me look at a room service bill to confirm it was him." "It was his signature."
"Who is she?"
"I don't know." "That bastard." "After that one time in college he promised he'd never to it again." "How could he do this to our family?"
"What are you gonna do?"
"I don't know." "I can't believe he lied to me." "Maybe this is my punishment." "I'm a liar to."
"What do you mean?"
"How many children do I have?"
"Oh."
"Yeah." "I'm a horrible person." "I gave up my baby." "Her father doesn't even know she exists." "Maybe I deserve this."
"No you don't." "No matter what you've done in the past, doesn't give Randy the right to cheat on you."
"I gotta go." "I gotta pick up the kids."
"Ok." "Call me later if you need to."
"Alright bye."
"Bye."
Later that night Randy came home. Sam acted normally as she was trying to figure out what to do. She was getting ready for bed. As she was walking from the bathroom to the bedroom suddenly her mom and dad's voices popped into her head. The years and years of endless shouting and Sam just wanting it to stop.
"No I refuse to put my kids through that to." She thought. "For the sake of the kids and our family I can't confront Randy." "I don't know if he loves me or not anymore but I know he loves the boys." "I just have to bury this in my mind like everything else."
She went into the bedroom.
"I found my watch." Randy said. It was on the dryer.
"Great." She said getting in bed next to him.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." "I'm just tired."
"Oh." He kissed her. "I love you."
"I love you to goodnight."
"Goodnight." Sam rolled over two of her worst fears had come true. Randy was cheating on her and relationship wise she'd turned into her mom.
