My mother’s secrets were finally spilling out, and everything I thought I knew about myself was being rewritten. But even as I struggled to make sense of it all, I knew I had to keep moving forward.
I had a meeting with investors in Los Angeles that could change the course of my career. And now, with this new information, I felt like I had two paths to choose from: one defined by professional ambition and another by personal revelation. It was overwhelming, but Steve, my newly discovered father, offered to help me navigate it all.
Together, we rushed to the conference room at the private terminal. As we entered, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of trepidation. But as I began my presentation, my passion for architecture took center stage. The investors listened intently, their expressions changing from curiosity to excitement.
When I finished, they leaned forward, eager to discuss the possibilities further. One of them even mentioned knowing Steve from his days as a pilot. It was as if everything in my life was finally falling into place.
As I left the room, I felt a sense of hope and gratitude wash over me. Despite the chaos of the past 24 hours, I knew that I had the support of my father and the opportunity to shape my own destiny. And with that, I stepped forward, ready to take on whatever lay ahead.
