Growing up in a blended family, I always felt a strong bond with my half-siblings, despite our different mothers. My parents married when my father, Mark, already had two children, Aiden and Logan, from his previous marriage. Later, my sister Zoey and I were born. Our family seemed happy, but there were secrets hidden from me, the youngest. One of the most puzzling was my father’s monthly disappearances. One day, driven by curiosity and concern, I decided to follow him, uncovering a truth that would forever change our family.
