Jason didn’t answer immediately.

He looked ahead.

Not at me.

Like whatever he was about to say—

Wasn’t easy.

Then—

He exhaled.

Slow.

Measured.

“My father discarded me.”

The words were simple.

But they hit harder than anything else.

I didn’t interrupt.

Didn’t move.

Just listened.

“It happened when Oscar was born,” he continued.

“And when he remarried.”

A pause.

“My existence became… inconvenient.”

My chest tightened.

“I was five.”

His voice didn’t shake.

But there was somet

    Amber POVEmory was the one who broke the silence.He didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t need to.“I don’t think we’re talking about a single family anymore.”The words shifted the ground beneath us.“We know the Vinnys couldn’t have orchestrated this alone,” he continued, pacing slowly now, his thoughts moving faster than his steps. “And the Beckers…”He shook his head.“They were support. Tools.”A pause.“I don’t even think they knew the full scope of what they were part of.”Mr. Stait frowned slightly.“You think they were expendable?”Emory nodded once.“A fallback. A shield. Something to burn when necessary.”The room fell quiet again.“This…” he added, looking at all of us now, “this looks like an organization.”Not a family.Not a rivalry.Something far more structured.“Someone—or several people—are trying to break the nation’s systems apart.”“The nation?” I echoed before I could stop myself.Emory turned to me.“Yes.”He gestured toward Mr. Sun, toward Jason, toward the invi

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   System

    Amber POV“Someone is trying to make the heirs obsolete,” I said at last, the thought no longer abstract, no longer a suspicion, but something that had taken shape and refused to be ignored.“They’re not just removing them.”I shook my head, slowly, deliberately.“They’re breaking them. Reshaping them. Weakening them.”The words settled heavily in the room, each one finding its place among the fragments of truth we had been gathering.“So that when the time comes…”My voice softened, not in doubt, but in certainty.“They are no longer capable of leading.”Silence answered me.“They want control of the families.”And yet—Even as the conclusion formed, something in it resisted. Something incomplete.“But why?”I looked at them all—at Mr. Sun, at Mr. Stait, at Emory, at Jason—each of them carrying power in different ways, each of them part of something larger than themselves.“It’s not like the four families hold all the power.”A quiet breath.“We are simply the most visible.”That was

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   Behind the tragedy

    Amber POVI let the silence settle before continuing.Because what came next… mattered more.“And lastly,” I said quietly, “we rescued the Stuart heir.”Every head in the room turned.“She was supposed to be dead.”A pause.“But she wasn’t.”“Iris,” I added, “told me something important.”My voice hardened slightly.“They were not allowed to abuse her body.”Confusion flickered across Emory’s face.“Because she was meant to be married.”The realization hit the room slowly.“Sold, positioned, controlled,” I continued. “Used to bind alliances.”Mr. Sun’s expression darkened.“She didn’t even know her own name,” I said. “Her parents died in a car crash.”A beat.“I believe that crash was arranged.”The words felt heavier now.Not theory.Pattern.“To use Iris however they saw fit.”I looked at Jason briefly.Then back at the room.“I believe my parents died under suspicious circumstances because of this.”No one spoke.“And I believe Jason’s mother…”My voice lowered.“And Alex and Alice

    Amber POVMr. Sun did not soften what came next.He looked directly at Jason, his expression steady, unflinching.“Your father is the one who sold you.”The words landed without decoration.Without mercy.“We believe he may have even sold his wife as well,” he continued. “In order to secure the funds he needed.”No one moved.“We were never able to determine exactly what they intended to accomplish with you,” Mr. Sun said. “By the time we found you…”He paused.“You were already far ahead of your age.”Jason’s gaze had gone distant.“You could read. Write. Solve complex problems.”A breath.“It was difficult to get you to behave like a child at all.”My chest tightened.“The only time you seemed to lower your guard…”Mr. Sun’s voice softened slightly.“Was with the other heirs.”Something shifted in Jason then.Not violently.Not dramatically.The fight simply… left him.“My father sold me,” Jason said quietly.Not a question.Not disbelief.A fact settling into place.“And you still

    Amber POVSilence followed.Not the kind that invited comfort.The kind that forced truth to settle.Jason stood.The movement was abrupt, sharp enough to cut through everything that had just been said.“You said that was when I turned four,” he said, his voice steady but edged with something deeper. “But I was with them when I turned five.”A pause.“How is it that I’m missing a year?”No one spoke immediately.Mr. Sun sighed.Not in annoyance.In something heavier.“The doctors believed it was trauma,” he said.Jason did not react.But I saw it.The stillness in him tightening further.“You have to understand,” Mr. Sun continued, his voice softer now, almost careful.“You were a mischievous little boy.”The words felt fragile.“You laughed. You ran around. You charmed everyone around you.”A faint, almost broken smile touched his expression.“You were like Alice and Alex combined.”That image did not fit the man standing in front of him now.“You changed… drastically after that.”Th

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   The truth

    Mr. Sun did not stop. He carried the story forward with the same measured control, but now there was something darker beneath it—something closer to anger. “We did not get more information at the time,” he said. “An ambulance arrived and took her to the hospital. We gave our statements to the police.” Jason’s eyes had not left him. “When we arrived at the hospital and asked for Rebeca,” Mr. Sun continued, “one of the nurses informed us that her husband had checked her out.” A pause. “Against medical advice.” Of course he had. “Two weeks later,” Mr. Sun said, his voice tightening almost imperceptibly, “we were informed by the police that she had died on site.” The room went still. “But she was alive when they took her.” The contradiction sat there. Heavy. Deliberate. “The funeral was closed casket,” he added. Jason’s jaw clenched. “But something was wrong.” Mr. Sun’s gaze softened just slightly—not weakness, but memory. “Your grandmother,” he said, “has always had… ex

    They called her in. No delay. No warning. The door opened ten minutes later. Amelie walked in looking immaculate — refreshed, polished, perfectly styled. Not a trace of nerves in her posture. At least not until her eyes landed on me. For a fraction of a second, the color drained from her face

    We didn’t warn them. We simply arrived. Jason walked at my side. The children stayed close, Marcus just behind us — calm, immovable, inevitable. The moment we entered the company lobby, the air shifted. Whispers followed us. Phones were lowered. Eyes widened. “Call the board,” I instructed t

    We drifted into lighter topics after that — Molly’s upcoming clothing line debut, fabric choices, venue rumors, guest lists. It felt almost normal. Almost. Then another call came through. Grandfather. “Molly, I’m sorry — I have to take this. I’ll call you back.” Her teasing hum was the la
