Thrust into a life she never imagined, Valentina must decide if she can trust this new family or if they'll betray her like everyone else. As her past claws at her and her future looms uncertain, she'll have to face her demons head-on.
Will the shadows she's lived in consume her, or can she step into the light and find the family-and the freedom-she's always craved?
Dive into Valentina's journey of survival, trust, and redemption in this gripping tale of heartbreak and hope.

"No I don't Miss. I have evidence that clearly shows that you aren't a Smith but a...𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢." The police officer replied, glancing at the papers in his hands.
"H-How can be this p-possible ?" Valentina mumbled under her breath with wide watery eyes.
"I have already informed your biological father and he is coming to get you." The police officer continued, professionally.
"M-My f-father ?" Valentina whispered, lowly as she can't believe her ears. Her father who she knew from childhood died along with her mother few hours ago then who is this man who is coming to get her ? Her real father ? as the officer in front of her said so.
She is not a Smith.
She is a Moretti.
