she sat back in shock

maricela: something in me kept telling me she was alive she must've been and she was i guess that stupid had gave her up to a orphanage in the next town me and her sperm donor looked all over and in the end me and him went toe to toe he hated me because i became successful and he was struggling he went with an enemy out in Mexico he wanted to use our daughter i guess as bate or something but i found her first i killed him too ..

maya: im glad you found her and have her but does she ask? where you were what happened? does she know gios?
