Everyone knows that each family has its drama. Some are scandals, and others have unexplained family wealth.
The McCallister family was no different. Their hidden secret would send Alicia McCallister over the edge and into a puddle of tears.

Alicia McCallister was the mother of her son Bret. The twenty-nine-year-old lived with her husband, Kenny, and their son in North Carolina.
She had earned her botany degree after graduating from Duke. She was proud of what she had achieved throughout her life, from her career to her family. She believed that finding a balance between the two was necessary.
Started As Friends

They had been dating for nearly ten years before Kenny proposed to Alicia. They had become friends in college before seeing each other in a romantic sense.
Considering how long they had been together, Alicia thought she knew everything there was to know about her husband. But she never knew that he was keeping a family secret from her.
The One For Her

Many spend their lives searching for The One. Some are blessed enough to find them early in life, and they know that nothing else compares to that feeling.
This causes bad habits to go unnoticed or ignored. Alicia found herself doing this and even encouraging the behavior unintentionally. It would already be too late when she realized what was happening right in front of her all along.

The family lived near the North Carolina coast in a small town, and they had built a good life for themselves there. Alicia was a wildlife consultant for the town’s marine flora, while Kenny worked as a mechanic.
As passionate as Kenny was about his job, it was not proving to be as successful as he’d have liked. The pandemic had taken over the world, so they weren’t surprised.
Working Hard

Alicia supported her husband through his struggle with the business. She did what any loving wife would. But things would soon change when Kenny’s shop suddenly raked in large amounts of cash.
Alicia was proud of all the hard work her husband had put into his business, but she wasn’t aware of the truth behind the operations. What was he doing at the shop while she wasn’t there?

Criminal activities are mostly framed as businesses using physical money to hide any suspicious activity. These “businesses” could be fined up to $25,000, and they could be charged with 20 years in jail for fraud.
Kenny’s car shop was the perfect front for making cash like that. However, he never expected his past to catch up with him and expose what he’d been working so hard on.

Recalling The Past

Kenny noticed how much older Derrick looked despite them being the same age. His muscular, tattoo-covered, white-bearded cousin recounted what had happened twelve years ago before he got arrested.
As Derrick spoke, Kenny saw in his mind’s eye how the police had surrounded them after what had happened. Alicia stepped in as Derrick said the prison had given him ample time to think things over.
It Doesn’t Make Sense

Alicia said “hi” to the burly man talking to her husband. She didn’t focus on him much at first, thinking he was one of Kenny’s customers. But seeing that there was no car in the shop except a derelict family Shelby in the back, she knew something was wrong.
Kenny pulled her aside before she could engage the visitor, only for the man to come between them and ask if he could talk to both of them.
He Cuts Him Short

Kenny was about to ask him to reconsider, but Derrick cut him short. He introduced himself, talking about his relationship with Kenny and why Alicia hadn’t ever met him despite him being family.
He opened up about what got him sentenced to a dozen years in prison and what Kenny had done before the police got to them. The secret would leave Alicia shaking where she stood.
Secrets Come To Light

“I was running some illegal businesses which went wrong,” Derreck shared. “I got shot severally and would’ve died if my cousin here didn’t open his door to me and help me dress the wounds.”
Seeing how shaken the secret left Alicia, he continued with the story, revealing more information that had the woman walking to her husband with glossy eyes.
What He Did For Him

Derrick shared that after spending a few hours at Kenny’s, his cousin convinced him to turn himself in. The way he talked about Kenny, terming him as the reason he chose to reform, left Alicia in tears.
She hugged Kenny tightly, kissing his cheek. But Kenny said that he, too, had a secret he’d been hiding from Alicia. He walked to the back of the shop, calling the two after him.
His Secret

Kenny revealed what he’d been doing behind his wife’s back. He’d been working on the derelict Shelby in secret, mainly because it used to be Derrick’s old car, and he wanted to surprise him when he came home.
He revealed that he’d kept this secret for a better half a year, working on the car whenever possible. Alicia’s tears doubled as she hugged him again. In a world where some people never find their soulmates, hers was not only faithful to her but selfless in every way possible.
