He Was Ashamed Of My Dress And Hid Me At His Own Office Party—His Boss’s Reaction To My Necklace Ended His Career

And I knew the silver half-sun necklace around my neck was the only object that had been with me before Teresa.

That was all.

Now one of the richest women in Texas was staring at that necklace and crying.

Alexander stepped closer.

“Where did you get that?”

His voice shook.

Marcus forced a laugh.

“Sir, it’s nothing.”

Alexander turned his head.

Only slightly.

Marcus immediately stopped speaking.

I touched the necklace.

“My mother gave it to me.”

“What was her name?”

“Teresa Alvarez.”

Margaret shook her head quickly.

“No.”

She stepped forward.

“Your biological mother.”

I swallowed.

“I don’t know.”

Alexander closed his eyes.

Margaret pressed both hands against her mouth.

The ballroom around us remained frozen.

People were listening.

Marcus looked humiliated.

But for once, his embarrassment no longer mattered to me.

Alexander opened his eyes again.

“How old are you?”

“Thirty-three.”

“Exact birthday?”

“I don’t know my exact birthday.”

His face changed.

“Why?”

“I was found when I was very young.”

“After a fire.”

Margaret made a broken sound.

“What fire?”

I looked at her.

“Outside Fredericksburg.”

“About thirty years ago.”
