Thomas stared at Margaret in shock. "Your granddaughter? But Your Majesty, your daughter and grandchild died in childbirth thirty years ago.""That's what the doctors told me," Margaret said. "But what if they lied? What if someone arranged for my grandchild to disappear?"Thomas was quiet for a moment. "That would be a very serious accusation, Your Majesty.""I know it sounds crazy," Margaret admitted. "But Thomas, this young woman looks exactly like my daughter Elena. Exactly. And she's the right age, and she's an orphan with no known parents."Margaret leaned forward. "And there's something else. She was married to Jack Kaelthorn. The Kaelthorn family owns shipping companies, just like we do. What if they knew who she really was?"Thomas looked thoughtful. "You think the Kaelthorn family might have known she was royal?""I think powerful families keep secrets," Margaret said. "And I think sometimes those secrets involve stolen children."Thomas nodded slowly. "If what you're sugges

Elena felt tears starting. "But I didn't die.""No, you didn't. Someone at the hospital took you and put you in the orphanage. They told me you were dead and gave me another baby so I would never look for you."Elena stared at Margaret. "Why would someone do that?"Margaret's expression darkened. "Because your father was from a very wealthy family. A family that didn't want a royal grandchild complicating their business interests."Elena felt cold. "What family?""You will get to know them."Elena looked at Aurora. "Do you believe this?""The DNA test doesn't lie," Aurora had been quiet during this conversation, but now she spoke up. "And look at her, Elena. She has your eyes. Your facial structure. You could be related."Elena studied Margaret's face and realized Aurora was right. There were similarities she hadn't noticed before."If this is true," Elena said slowly, "what does it mean for my life?"Margaret smiled. "It means you're the rightful Queen of Lysandria. You will inherit

Elena stood in front of the mirror in her private office, adjusting the silver mask that covered the upper half of her face. The mask was beautiful, with delicate patterns that Aurora had designed for her. She had been wearing masks like this for eight years now, and no one outside her inner circle knew what she really looked like."Mommy, can we come in?" two voices called from outside the door.Elena smiled. "Come in, boys."The door opened and two identical seven-year-old boys ran into the office. Alexander and Adrian looked exactly alike with dark hair, sharp intelligent eyes, and faces that reminded Elena of their father every single day."We finished all our homework," Alexander announced proudly."All of it?" Elena asked. "Even the advanced mathematics?""That was easy," Adrian said with a grin. "We also read three chapters ahead in our science book."Elena felt pride swelling in her chest. Her twins were exceptionally intelligent, reading at levels far beyond their age. Their

Elena looked at the photos of Alexander and Adrian on her desk. "They'll inherit the crown and the businesses someday. I want to make sure they inherit an empire strong enough to protect them."Margaret nodded approvingly. "You've done an incredible job, Elena. In eight years, you've transformed from a broken divorced woman into one of the most powerful businesswomen in the world.""And you did it all while raising two children alone," Aurora added.Elena felt pride but also sadness. "I wish I had help. I wish Zephyr was here to see how amazing his sons are."The twins ran back into the office, interrupting the conversation."Mommy, can we video call daddy?" Alexander asked. "Other kids video call their parents when they're on business trips."Elena felt panic. "Daddy doesn't have good internet where he is right now, sweetie.""Where is he exactly?" Adrian asked suspiciously.Elena scrambled for an answer. "He's in a very remote area working on important projects."The boys looked dou

The next morning, Aurora went to the shopping mall to buy supplies for watching the twins. She needed to get art supplies, snacks, and some new books to keep the boys entertained.Aurora wasn't wearing her signature mask today. When she was out doing normal errands in Lysandria, she didn't need the mask because no one here knew she was the famous fashion designer Aurora Blackwell. She only wore the mask at fashion events and business meetings.Aurora was walking through the luxury section of the mall when someone suddenly pushed her hard from behind. Aurora stumbled forward and nearly fell into a display of expensive handbags."Watch where you're going!" a sharp female voice said.Aurora turned around and saw a woman in her thirties wearing designer clothes and dripping with jewelry. The woman was beautiful but had a cruel expression on her face."You pushed me," Aurora said calmly. "You should apologize."The woman laughed. "Apologize? Do you know who I am? I don't apologize to peopl
