Ritas hand tensed briefly and then relaxed. Got it. Lets head back to the hotel.
Before stepping out of the car, Rita instructed her assistant, Find out more about Keilanis background for me.
The assistant raised an eyebrow but just nodded without asking questions.
The next morning, the assistant briefed Rita on what he had found.
Keilanis mom, Zandra, was Royces younger sister. Zandra had met her husband while studying abroad and held their wedding in Philade, having given birth to a son and a daughter.
Sadly, not long after Zandras son turned one, Zandras mom had passed away. Zandra and her son went to Mathias for the funeral.

Amid the crowded setting, her son had gone missing. It had taken over ten years to finally located him, who was none other than Lance.
That daughter is Keilani, whom they met at the police station.
It had been years since Keilani had visited Mathias. This time, she recognized her daughter with Tyrone, Jennie, and hoped..
Rita abruptly interrupted her assistant, looking shocked. What did you just say? Keilani and Tyrone? Jennies their daughter? Seriously?
Rita hadnt looked into it closely before and had assumed Jennie was Sabrina and Tyrones kid.
Yeah, and not long ago, Tyrone brought Jennie to visit the Nelson family. Jennie was originally adopted by Tyrone and Sabrina. But the day after they found out Jennies biological parents, Sabrina left Tyrones place..
Rita gulped and took a moment to gather herself. Whats happening here?
Its all wrapped up with the Blakely and Nelson families. Its tough to get details, but it seems Kira, Tyrones aunt, is involved.
Rita paused, considering. Alright, spill it. What else is on Keilanis mind?
Keilanis crazy for Tyrone. After recognizing Jennie, shes thinking of making a move on him, wanting to have her cake and eat it too by being with Tyrone and caring for Jennie.
Hearing this, Rita looked down, lost in thought. Okay, thats all I need to hear. Youre free to go.
Got it.
As the assistant headed for the door, Rita suddenly stopped him.
Hold on.
Maam, do you need anything else?
Get in touch with the police station. Let them know Ill be swinging by to meet Keilani.
Why though, maam? the assistant blurted out, taken aback by the request.
Ritas expression turned serious.
