The crying behind the door stopped.

Elena stood frozen before the steel entrance, her palm still pressed against the scanner. Every instinct told her to demand answers, to force the door open, to reach the mother she had spent her entire life believing was lost to her.

But Isabelle's last words had changed the air around them.

If he knows, then he has been lying to you all along.

Elena turned slowly toward Alexander.

“Tell me you don't know what she's talking about.”

Alexander looked at her, an

    Elena stared at the photograph on her phone.Evelyn Ashbourne stood beside Alexander Vance outside the hospital, one hand resting on his arm as though she had every right to touch him. Alexander's twin brother looked older than he had in the photographs Elena had seen, but there was no mistaking his face.The message beneath the picture seemed to burn into her mind.ASK HER WHO BORE YOU.“Alexander,” she whispered.Her husband took the phone and studied the photograph. His expression changed when he recognised the woman beside his brother.“Evelyn.”“She was supposed to be dead,” Elena said.“So was Richard. Apparently, death certificates have become invitations to return in this family.”Despite the fear tightening her chest, Elena almost laughed. Then she looked at the photograph again.“Your brother is alive. He knows who his mother is, and someone wants us to ask Evelyn about mine.”Alexander handed the phone back.“We're going to the hospital first. We need to make sure the baby

    Elena couldn't breathe.She stared at the document on the table, reading the names repeatedly as though the letters might rearrange themselves into something less horrifying.Alexander Sterling.Listed as her biological father.“No,” she whispered.Richard Hale watched her with cold satisfaction. “You see? This is what happens when people build their lives on secrets. Eventually, the truth finds a way out.”Alexander snatched the document from the table.“This is a forgery.”“Perhaps. But you'll find that the laboratory records attached to it are considerably harder to dismiss.”Alexander turned the page. A series of genetic markers had been listed beneath the declaration, followed by a laboratory stamp and a date from years earlier.Elena watched his expression change.“Alexander?”He looked at her, then back at the paper.“I don't understand this.”Richard adjusted his cufflinks. “You don't have to understand it immediately. You only have to accept that the evidence exists.”“Eviden

    Elena couldn't move.The woman standing before her had Catherine's eyes, but there was something unfamiliar about her face. She looked older than the photograph, with faint lines around her mouth and a thin scar running from her jaw towards her ear.“You're lying,” Elena whispered.The woman tightened her grip on Elena's wrist.“I knew you would say that.”“Catherine is my mother.”“Catherine raised you. That isn't the same thing.”Across the room, Alexander turned towards them. The moment he saw the woman holding Elena, his expression changed.“Let her go.”The woman produced a small pistol from beneath her coat and pressed it against Elena's side.“Stay where you are, Alexander.”He stopped immediately.“Whatever you want, we can discuss it. There's no need to threaten her.”“That's what every man in your family says before he takes something that doesn't belong to him.”Adrian's name suddenly came to Elena's mind. She looked around, but he wasn't in the room.“Who are you?” Alexand

    Losing blurred before her eyes.I know what you'll find, and I cannot lose you twice.Twice.That single word frightened her more than the threat about the Northwick register. Catherine had always been protective, sometimes excessively so, but she had never spoken as though Elena had already been lost to her once.“What does she mean by twice?” Elena whispered.Alexander stood beside her, reading the message over her shoulder.“I don't know.”“Do you think she knows we're at Northwick?”“Possibly. Someone could have told her, or she may have been watching our movements.”Elena shook her head. “She knows something, Alexander. She knows exactly what that register contains.”He took the phone gently from her hand.“Then we ask her.”Elena called Catherine immediately.The phone rang several times before Catherine answered.“Elena?”“I'm here, Mama.”A shaky breath came through the speaker.“Thank God. Where are you?”“Somewhere safe. I need you to answer a question.”“Come home first. Pl

    Elena read the message again, hoping the words would somehow change.COME TO NORTHWICK ALONE, ELENA. IF YOU BRING ALEXANDER, THE LAST SURVIVING CHILD WILL DIE.Her fingers tightened around the phone.“It's a trap,” Alexander said.“I know.”“Then you're not going.”Elena lifted her eyes to him. “What if the person who sent it really has the baby?”“Then we find another way to get the child back.”“And if they hurt the baby while we're searching for another way?”Alexander fell silent.She knew what he was thinking. He wanted to protect her, but every path they had taken so far had led them to another hidden room, another altered document, and another person who claimed to know the truth.They could no longer afford to wait for everyone else to decide what they deserved to know.Adrian took the phone from her and examined the message.“This wasn't sent from a normal mobile number. The sender used a temporary routing service.”Alexander looked at him suspiciously.“How do you know that?

    The gunshot shattered the silence.Alexander threw himself in front of Elena, dragging her behind the stone cabinet as the bullet struck the wall. Dust scattered across the floor, and Elena clutched his arm, barely able to breathe.“Alexander!”“I'm fine.” He glanced at her quickly. “Stay down.”Across the basement, Margaret lowered her pistol just enough to look at them.“You always were predictable, Alexander. Even as a child, you would put yourself between danger and anyone you cared about.”Alexander slowly rose, keeping the cabinet between them.“Put the gun down, Margaret.”“You don't give me orders.”“Then listen to me as the boy you claimed to love. You raised me. You watched me grow up believing you were my mother. If any part of that was real, don't make me watch you become a murderer.”For the first time, Margaret's expression faltered.Elena seized the opportunity to move towards the staircase, but Margaret noticed and immediately swung the gun in her direction.“Don't tak
