The family was quite well-known in their town. Agustin was an orphan boy that her great- grandfather had rescued from a battlefield. He joined the Wood family when he was six. Growing up, Madelyn’s mother, being a few years older, taught him to read and write. The two shared a bond tighter than most friends. It seemed her great-grandfather had hopes of Agustin marrying her mother to make him an official Wood. However, some diary entries were illegible, leaving Madelyn with lingering questions.
At sixteen, her mother met the well-known military leader, Erick Blinken. By twenty-six, Erick was a respected general, and he certainly noticed her mother’s beauty. Her great- grandfather seemed interested in building a relationship with Erick as well. Yet, during that time, her mother and Agustin shared more than a typical childhood bond; they were deeply committed to each other.
When she was seventeen, her mother moved in with the Blinken family because of Erick. Over the years, their relationship had its ups and downs.

He checked his watch: 7:30 on the dot. As he was about to head upstairs, Madelyn came down the stairs holding Dalton.
“You just got home? Where've you been?” Madelyn asked, “Just handling some business,” Zach replied, stepping forward to take the child. “Let's not eat dinner so late again.” “I... l understand.” With Dalton cradled in one arm, Zach took Madelyn’s hand and they sat down. The maid quickly reheated the food. Madelyn noticed a tear in Zach's shirt. She extracted a shimmering shard of nail sequin from the cut and set it on the table. She shot him a questioning look, but remained silent and began to eat.
