It's been ten years now and I've programmed my brain to forget her little did I know that I was deceiving myself.

Things changed when I saw her.
She looked different. She wasn't the same little girl I had fallen in love with. She was now a grown woman.

She was gorgeous.
I needed her beneath me just for one night. I'd get her out of my system and move on.

That was probably a lie.

Months later.

Here I am drowning my sorrow in alcohol on my last night as a single man.
I was getting married to a woman I never truly loved.

Tara gave me a shy smile as she approached the aisle with her father.

Kelsey looked away and ignored me.

I was about to slide the ring on Tara's finger and her father's voice stopped me.

"Stop."

I turned around and faced him.

Tara grabbed his hand angrily.

"Dad what are you doing?!"

IN MY DARKEST HOUR YOU ARE MY LIGHT

I looked at Tara and she was just as shocked as me but Mr. Eden looked damn serious.


"I am an only child so stop this nonsense father this wedding is going to take place!" She yelled angrily.


"Just let me explain everything," he said quietly.


I knew that this was a big shock especially to Marcus and Kelsey but this was the truth and I couldn't hide it any longer. I just couldn't get married.


"After I saw Faith's picture in Marcus's house I remembered everything and connected the dots. You see I met Faith years ago when my wife and I couldn't have kid's of our own. That's when Faith came in. She wanted to be our surrogate. She told me everything at the bar and she told me that she had a son called Marcus.


You  were just a boy back then Marcus and never realized that we would meet again."
