Damien couldn’t move.

He had long thought that his father was dead.

He was in attendance at the funeral.

He had seen his grandfather bow his head next to the grave.

He had been carrying a loss that he didn't know the reason for, for a long time.

Right now, in front of him, was a man looking at him like they'd seen each other yesterday.

Damien’s eyes hardened.

    Elena glared at Mara.Then at Richard.Then at Damien.No one spoke.The stillness was eerie."Sophia?"Elena's mouth turned into a question, "What is your name?Mara nodded slowly."Yes."Elena laughed only once, but there was no humor in her laughter."That's impossible.""I know."Sophia is the step sister of mine.That is what was everyone's imaginary conclusion.Elena's chest tightened.Then tell me what is real",Mara started moving towards her.Sophia's your biological sister.Elena shook her head."No.""You were born on the same night."So why didn't anybody tell me?Their separation "before both of you had any idea what had happened.Elena gazed at Damien.He looked as though he was just as surprised."How?" he asked.Mara's eyes dropped.Two babies were born.Countess Elena whispered, "The two cribs."Yes."Mara nodded.One was you, the other was your sister.Elena recalled the secret nursery.Two cribs.Two labels.One was marked BABY A — BLACKWOOD.The remaining one was m

    Elena looked at the picture on Damien's mobile phone.Mara was chained up to a chair.She was conscious with her face bruised.One man stood by her, whose face had been carefully concealed.All he could be seen was his hand.The Blackwood ring.Damien: I looked at Elena.“We have to go.”“No.”She furrowed her brow.“No?”“You're not travelling alone.”“They actually requested me.“Exactly.”“They have Mara.”“And they want you to fall into a trap.”Elena crossed her arms.Well, what will you do if that happens? Sit here whilst she hurts?”Damien’s jaw tightened.“No.”He looked at Lucas.“Track the number.”“Already trying.”Get all security feeds around the hospital, roads, parking lot, around other buildings, I want everything.Lucas nodded and ran off.Elena watched Damien.“You don't need to come with me.His gaze right hit her.“Never again talk about that.”“Damien—”I've married you because I needed access to the archives.His voice lowered.“But at some point, that didn't mat

    Elena couldn’t move.Mara's voice rang in her ears.It was because of Damien that she had to conceal you.She gazed at Damien.It appeared that he was as surprised as she was.“What does that mean?” he questioned.Mara went in and quietly closed the door.“It's not that you don't know everything, Damien,” she said.“Then tell me.”Mara shook her head, her lips pursing into a grimace.“Not here.”Elena’s patience snapped.“No.”They both regarded her.“Ever since I was a kid I've been lied to and told to wait, trust them, let them explain.”Her voice cracked.“I’m done waiting.”Mara’s expression softened.“Get your fill of that anger, it is ALL YOUR RIGHT.”I don't want sympathy - I want the truth.Mara glanced at Damien's birth certificate.“Then sit down.”Elena didn’t sit.Damien stayed with her.Mara sighed.Isabelle Blackwood was your biological mother.”Damien’s face tightened.“No such name is in our list of family names.”“It was erased.”“By whom?”Mara hesitated.“Victor.”E

    Elena looked at the picture.She couldn’t breathe.Marie was the little girl between Mara Vale and Richard who had her face.Her eyes.Her nose.Even her small birthmark under her left ear.It was Elena.Or some one who looked just like her.“That’s me.”She was barely able to speak above a whisper.Damien stole the photo from her.He was studying it thoroughly.“How much were you when you were here?”“Maybe five.”He read the date in the corner.“Four.”Elena shook her head and looked to her left.“No. I was five.”“Look again.”She did.Her stomach dropped.The photo was taken a year before she was supposed to have her mother's death.Damien’s expression hardened.“You don’t have to feel guilty that your mom wasn't alone.”Elena swallowed.“And I was not then.”Papa heard a loud knock from down below.Both of them froze.The photo was immediately put in his pocket by Damien.“Stay here.”“No.”He looked at her sternly.“Elena.”“Don't tell me to stay back with you!If someone wants
