" he looked at the babies and then back at her. "I heard about this but I didn't think it was true.. you had twins" he said to her with a beaming smile.

"Keegan is a good man.. at least he is to me and the kids.. in a way he helped me discover the truth about my family.. I am more settled now because I understand why I was given away...I understand all of it..

Greta was a very persuasive and dangerous woman.. she knew that Tara was carrying Alfie's child.. and so the swap was made so that Greta could get her revenge on Tara and sell her child... your mother, real mother.. Anneka, well.. she was a drug addict and she didn't even want her child.. so Tara was given you... and Alfie believed that you were his.. Greta's ultimate revenge... she wanted you kept close and she more than likely always will, and will want your babies so beware....

He looked horrified as he realised that she didn't know the full truth.
"Tara wasn't my mother?."

He shook his head. "Though she believes she is.. and Alfie believes you're his.." he shook his head. "I'm sorry Charisma, but when you said you knew... I thought....

"Who is he?." She said straight faced.

"Travares Mathias Watson.. he's more dangerous than Alfie could ever be.. it's why Greta wants to steal your babies.. you and Keegan... you are the ultimate couple, and together you and your babies are worth the earth...
