Evelyn read the message again.

Tell Evelyn that her mother didn't die knowing the truth. She died believing someone had betrayed her.

And beneath it was Richard Blackwood's name.

She slowly lowered the phone.

“Why would Richard betray my mother?”

Adrian stood beside her, equally troubled.

“My father made terrible decisions, but we shouldn't assume the message tells the whole story.”

Evelyn looked at him.

“I know. But my mother trusted him. If he betrayed her, I need to understand why.”

"Tell us who she is."Margaret slowly lifted her eyes."Her name is Catherine."Daniel frowned."Catherine?""Yes. Catherine Anderson."Daniel stepped closer."There's no Catherine Anderson in my family."Margaret shook her head."That's what your father wanted you to believe."Evelyn looked between them."Where is she now?"Margaret swallowed."She's been living in the Anderson mansion for years. Victoria raised her as a distant relative and introduced her to everyone as a girl whose parents had died."Daniel's face turned pale."You're saying there's another person in my family?""She's not just another person, Daniel. She's Victoria's biological daughter."Silence filled the room.Daniel slowly sat down."That can't be true. Victoria told everyone her baby died.""Because she was made to believe it."Margaret's voice cracked."Your

The woman looked younger, but there was no mistaking her face.Beside the photograph was a message.Ask Daniel about the child Victoria lost. The truth is closer than you think.Evelyn slowly raised her eyes toward her husband."Daniel, who was that baby?"Daniel remained silent for several seconds."I told you what I know. My father said Victoria gave birth to a child, but the baby died shortly after delivery.""Then why would someone send us this photograph now?""I don't know.""Was it a boy or a girl?"Daniel looked down."A girl."Evelyn's expression changed."Did you ever see her?""No. I was still young when it happened. My father never allowed anyone to discuss it."Evelyn placed the photograph on the table."Your family has been hiding too many things, Daniel. First, Sophia's birth. Then your stepmother's involvement. Now this child.""I know.""How can I be certain there aren't

    Daniel couldn't take his eyes off the security footage.Victoria had visited Dr. Marcus Hale.The same doctor who had been responsible for maintaining the hospital records when Sophia was born.And now, someone was threatening to make him disappear.Daniel immediately called Victor.“Where is Dr. Hale right now?”“According to our last information, he's still at his private residence.”“Send someone to protect him. I want him alive and brought here safely.”“Understood, sir.”Daniel ended the call.Evelyn, who had been standing behind him, approached.“What are you planning to do?”“I need to find that doctor before Victoria does.”“Then I'm coming with you.”Daniel shook his head.“Evelyn, it's dangerous.”She crossed her arms.“I'm tired of hearing that every time I want to know the truth. This concerns my daughter. I have every right to be involved.”Daniel looked at her for a moment.He knew arguing would only create another problem between them.“Fine. But you stay beside Victor

They appeared to be having a serious conversation, and Rebecca was holding a folder.The date printed beneath the photograph was six months earlier.Evelyn slowly looked at her husband.“Daniel, I'm waiting.”Daniel swallowed.“Where did Sophia get that?”Sophia looked up at him.“It was inside my little bag. I found it with the other pictures Aunt Rebecca gave me.”Evelyn's heart tightened.“Rebecca gave you this?”Sophia nodded.“She told me to keep it safe. She said it was important.”Daniel took the photograph carefully.“Sweetheart, why don't you go back to bed? Mommy and Daddy need to talk.”Sophia looked between them.“Are you fighting again?”Evelyn immediately knelt and held her daughter's hands.“No, baby. We're just discussing something.”“Promise?”“Promise.”Sophia smiled before returning to her bedroom.Once the little girl disappeared, Evelyn stood and faced Daniel.

    Evelyn couldn't sleep that night.She sat beside the bedroom window, holding the photograph of Sophia. Her fingers gently traced the little girl's face.Her daughter.A child she had never known existed.A child someone had taken from her before she even had the chance to hold her.Tears slowly rolled down her cheeks."She's really my daughter," she whispered.Daniel stood near the doorway, watching her.He had been trying to find the right words for hours, but nothing seemed enough."Evelyn."She wiped her tears."What?""Come and rest. We have a long day tomorrow."She shook her head."How can I sleep when my daughter is somewhere out there, wondering who her real mother is?"Daniel approached her."We'll find her."Evelyn looked at him."Promise me you won't let your father take her away again."Daniel held her hands."I promise. No matter what happens, I'll protect both of you."She looked down at their joined hands."Daniel, there's something I need to ask.""Anything.""Did you

    Evelyn couldn't move.Rebecca's final words continued echoing inside the abandoned house.She's your daughter too, Daniel.Daniel stood motionless, holding the old phone against his ear even though the call had already disconnected.Evelyn slowly turned toward him."Daniel..."He looked at her."Tell me she's lying."His voice was barely audible."I don't know, Evelyn.""How can you not know? She just told us that Sophia is your daughter!"Daniel ran a hand through his hair."I never knew about another child. Michael was the only son Rebecca ever told me about."Evelyn stepped away."Then why would she say that?"Before Daniel could answer, Alexander's voice came through his earpiece."Daniel, are you still inside the property?""Yes. Why?""There's a black SUV parked outside. I've been monitoring the security cameras. It arrived about three minutes ago."Daniel immediately looked toward the window."How many people?""At least three. Don't go outside."Evelyn's heart began racing."I
