TIED BY HEART, NOT HERITAGE

My mother gawked at me with tear filled eyes and a slice of emotion that says she was guilty, "If this is the man you've been adamant about, and he's Ryan's son... You- you can't marry him, Sonia. You absolutely can't!!!"



I was more frightened than confused, I was going crazy, not wanting to lose the one Man that I love, "Why? Why can't I marry him?"



Her next sentences shattered me to crumbs, "Because he's your brother."



Sonia and Ben, deeply in love and engaged, are torn apart when they discover they are allegedly step-siblings due to an affair between their parents. Sonia, pregnant and heartbroken, flees to Scotland, feeling unable to keep the child due to the perceived familial relationship. Years apart, they eventually uncover another truth, which could have either reconciled them or broken them forever
