CHAPTER 262.

last update Last Updated: 2025-11-14 03:42:59

Natasha’s POV.

Life began to feel gentle again, like the slow rise of dawn after a long storm. I woke each morning to peace instead of fear, and to warmth instead of tension.

The air in the house felt lighter. My real parents had settled in quietly, adapting to a world that had moved on while they were hidden away.

It was strange watching them learn little things—how phones worked, how online banking had replaced paper bills—but it filled me with an indescribable tenderness.

Mother would hum in the mornings as she brewed tea.

Father liked sitting by the window, watching the trees sway, as if freedom itself was still something he couldn’t quite believe he had.

They asked questions about my life, my work, and the years they had missed. It was painful to speak about some of it, but their kindness never made me feel exposed. There was no judgment, no blame, only the quiet sorrow of time that couldn’t be replaced and the deep gratitude that we were all still here.

    EPILOGUEAuthor’s POV.“SIX MONTHS LATER.”After giving birth to a little princess, it was finally the grand wedding.The church was filled with light that morning, the kind of soft golden glow that made everything look almost unreal. Guests spoke in hushed voices, dressed in muted elegance, their faces lit with quiet joy. After all the storms, after the trials that nearly tore them apart, the day everyone had longed for had finally come—the wedding of Sylvester Mason and Natasha Vance.Natasha stood at the back of the aisle, her arm resting in her father’s, his eyes glistening with emotions he couldn’t quite hide. On her other side, her mother smiled, clutching a bouquet identical to the one her daughter held. The soft music began, the murmurs fell silent, and Natasha took her first step forward.Sylvester stood waiting at the altar, his expression calm but deeply moved. His eyes stayed fixed on her as though every step she took erased the shadows of the years behind them. For th

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 261.

    Sylvester’s POV.The reunion felt like something sacred. I stood quietly by the doorway, watching Natasha sit between her real parents. Dr. Richard and Mrs. Eleanor Williams held her hands like they were afraid she would vanish if they let go. The hospital room was silent except for their voices and the faint sound of machines in the background.Her mother looked fragile, her hair streaked with gray, her eyes still swollen from crying. Her father sat close beside her, the way a man does when he knows he can’t protect his wife from pain but still tries to share it. They had been through too much. Years in captivity had worn them down, but now, seeing their daughter, there was light again in their eyes.Natasha spoke softly, asking questions, trying to piece together memories that had been stolen. Every now and then, she would pause, looking lost, then force a small smile before continuing. It was as if she was holding herself together for their sake. I could see how hard she was tryi

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 260.

    Natasha’s POV.When Sylvester told me they had found a lead on my real parents, I couldn’t speak for a while. My thoughts didn’t form clearly. It felt like my heart forgot how to beat properly, caught between disbelief and an aching kind of hope that was too fragile to hold. For so long, I had convinced myself that there was nothing left to find. That the people who brought me into this world were gone, erased by the same cruelty that had stolen my childhood. Hearing they might still be alive shattered every wall I had built to protect myself.He sat across from me in the living room, his voice low and careful, as though saying the words too loudly might make them vanish. “They think your real parents are alive, Natasha. The agents traced records that show they’ve been kept somewhere isolated. We’re preparing to move in soon.”I looked at him and tried to understand what that meant. My real parents. Alive. The words sounded too heavy to fit in my mind. I couldn’t picture their faces,

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 259.

    Sylvester’s POV.The report came in early in the morning. I was in the study when my investigator called, his tone calm but weighted. He said he had sent the full documentation and that I should read it in private. I opened the envelope and began to go through the pages, each one peeling back layers of deceit that had been carefully constructed over decades.The fake parents—people Natasha had known as her own—were nothing short of criminals of the highest order. Their real names were Leonard and Grace Harrison. They had a record that stretched across continents. They were known for life insurance fraud, identity theft, and a pattern of vanishing whenever the authorities came too close. The report detailed how they would infiltrate a new community, pose as decent citizens, and identify vulnerable targets—people with money, families with wealth, or children with unclaimed inheritances.They had done the same thing with Natasha’s real parents. Years ago, the real couple had helped the

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 258.

    Natasha’s POV.I sat on the couch with the photo album open on my lap, staring at the smiling faces that once felt like home. My fingers touched the glossy paper where my supposed mother held me as a child, her expression soft, her eyes filled with warmth I had believed was real. The longer I looked, the more those smiles began to feel foreign. I could not see parents anymore. I saw strangers playing roles they perfected over the years.The living room felt cold even though the curtains were open and sunlight streamed in. It was as if something inside me had shut down. Every memory that had shaped me suddenly became a performance staged by people who had seen me as a future transaction. It made my stomach twist in quiet disbelief.Sylvester was sitting across from me, his face calm but heavy with worry. He had waited until morning before telling me everything. His voice had been low and patient, his hand resting on mine, steadying me as if afraid I would fall apart completely. I had l
