The Woman He Buried The Name She Lost
A month had passed since Idris found Fabian’s name in the old custody record.One morning, Dominic called Isla from Astera. He kept the conversation brief. Until they knew who had wanted her gone, he avoided discussing sensitive information over the phone.After a few pleasantries, his tone changed. “Isla, there’s something important I need to discuss with you.”She heard the seriousness in his voice. “What is it?”“I’d rather explain it in person.”“Is this about what you found?”“Partly.”“Has something happened?”“Nothing that puts you in immediate danger. I just don’t want to discuss it over the phone.”He paused before adding, “Tristan came to see me.”“What about Tristan?” she asked. “Does he know anything?”“He knows something was hidden. He doesn’t know where you are.”Isla’s expression tightened. “About me?”“About Aniela,” Dominic replied. “And about certain things he discovered concerning your past.”She was silent for a moment. “Did you tell him I’m alive?”“No. He doesn’t
The Woman He Buried A Name in the Record
Idris spent most of the morning reviewing the oldest Delacroix records available to him.The newer registry copies did not match. Some details were missing, while others appeared to have been amended over time. Since later copies could have been altered or misfiled, he worked backward through the archive, comparing each version with the one that came before it.Near midday, he found an entry that made him stop.The original registry still listed the Delacroix child as alive and accounted for after the accident that had killed Magnus and Lavinia Delacroix.Idris read the entry twice.The original record had not been erased. However, several later copies contained discrepancies. The archive did not show when the changes had been made or who had authorized them.He followed a reference number to another document concerning the child’s custody.A name appeared in the record: Fabian Marquez.Idris leaned closer to the screen.The document was dated after Magnus and Lavinia’s deaths and aft
The Woman He Buried The Missing Years
A month had passed since Isla’s DNA results changed the direction of the Delacroix case.In Astera, Dominic and Graham met in a private conference room at Delacroix Holdings to review the evidence. Two women had genetic results strongly supporting a biological relationship to Lavinia Delacroix. Only one could be Aniela.Dominic placed the files side by side.“Hazel’s current identity is documented,” he said, “but her early history is largely unverified. Ruth’s account explains some of the gaps, but we haven’t found independent records linking Hazel to the Delacroix family before adulthood.”Graham turned to the second file. “And Isla?”“We have reliable records of her life after she entered the Marquez family, school, identification, employment, and medical records. The problem is what came before.”“Her adoption.”“Exactly.”Graham studied him. “Which history is stronger?”“Isla’s,” Dominic said. “But that doesn’t establish that she is Aniela. It only gives us a more traceable histor
The Woman He Buried Bloodline
The report was waiting when Dominic arrived at the laboratory.After verifying the case number and signing the release form, he accepted the sealed envelope from the laboratory representative. He did not open it until he was alone in his office.He read the conclusion once, then again.The genetic findings strongly supported a biological mother-daughter relationship between the tested individual and Lavinia Delacroix.Dominic stopped at the final page. “It’s you,” he murmured.The report did not identify Isla as Aniela Delacroix. DNA could establish biological relationships, but it could not, by itself, prove that a person was legally or historically the same individual named in old records.Still, the result was significant. Isla was very likely Lavinia Delacroix’s biological daughter.Her age fit. So did the timing of the child’s disappearance and the limited information surrounding Isla’s adoption. Details he had once considered unrelated now seemed to point in the same direction.
The Woman He Buried The Test
The appointment at the independent laboratory in Geneva took less than an hour.Isla arrived with Dominic late in the morning. The laboratory had prepared the necessary paperwork in advance, and a specialist met them in a private collection room.After verifying Isla’s identity, the specialist reviewed the consent forms with her. They explained the test, the samples being compared, how the material would be stored, and who could receive the report. Isla read everything carefully before signing.“We’ll collect a buccal sample from inside your cheek,” the specialist explained. “It’s quick and painless.”Isla nodded.The specialist collected the sample with a sterile swab, then labeled and sealed it in Isla’s presence and recorded it in the laboratory’s chain of custody. The reference material attributed to Lavinia Delacroix had been submitted separately and was handled under its own documentation.Once the collection was complete, Isla looked at the specialist.“You won’t know what resu
The Woman He Buried The Name She Never Knew
A few weeks after their last conversation, Dominic arrived at the Delacroix headquarters in Geneva.He had not told Isla he was coming. Some matters were better discussed in person, especially when the answers might alter the course of her life.Austin met him in the lobby. “Mr. Finch.”“Good morning, Austin.”Austin glanced toward the busy reception area. “You picked a hectic day.”“I noticed. I won’t keep you long,” Dominic said.“I’ll let Isla know you’re here.”“Thank you.”Austin directed him to a private meeting room away from the main offices. A few minutes later, Isla appeared at the door.“Mr. Finch.” She smiled, though surprise showed in her eyes. “What brings you to Geneva? We spoke only a few days ago, and you didn’t mention you were coming.”“It’s good to see you, Isla.”She closed the door behind her and sat across from him.For a few minutes, they spoke about the work she was handling and a project that had recently required her attention. Dominic listened as she explai
