Looking away in deep shame Linda confessed she was the foster sister of Robert from many decades ago. I remembered the fond stories Robert shared about a frightened little girl his parents welcomed into their Pennsylvania farmhouse. He taught her to ride a bicycle and loved her like his own sibling before she vanished from his life. Linda admitted she knew exactly who I was for six years since Emily and David first became engaged. She even shook the hand of Robert at their wedding without revealing her true identity leaving him to pass away two years later never knowing his lost sister was standing right in front of him. She stayed silent because she felt Robert abandoned her when he moved away for work. I soon discovered she manipulated both Emily and David by telling each of them that the other had secured my permission to use the house. She wanted to see where Robert lived but hid his pictures because guilt made them too painful to see which prompted me to order everyone to pack their belongings and leave my home immediately.
