My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

After the disastrous meeting at Palmer Group, Serenity was taken home by her father. Since then, she hadn’t heard from either of her parents and was still reeling from the shocking revelations. Serenity, who had always prided herself on being level–headed, had acted like a crying little girl today. She hadn’t supported her mother, and the thought made her feel miserable.

“My dear, calm down. It’s normal to react impulsively to sinuations out of our control. But I still don’t know what happened to get you all to this point. Can you tell me?” Camille asked gently, looking her in the eyes.

“Camille, I found out today that my father–Peter, the man always dreamed about–isn’t my father. My father is Maximus Palmer. The man I thought was my uncle.”

“What? That can’t be, my dear! Your mother always said your father’s name was Peter. She said he left Valentia suddenly, which is why she didn’t have pictures of him. But she always insisted he was your father.”

no, my dear. It’s true the news must’ve been shocking, but don’t start doubting yourself. I know what you’re asking: Marcus has been your father since you were almost three years old. He’s cared for you, protected you, and made you the woman you are today. Just because this Maximus has appeared doesn’t mean he replaces your dad. Ask yourself
