CHAPTER 130: THE CHILDREN WHO CHANGED EVERYTHING

For several seconds, nobody moved.The words remained on the screen.THE CHILDREN WERE NEVER CREATED BY REUNION.THEY CREATED REUNION.Amelia stared at them, her breathing shallow.“No,” she whispered.Alexander stood several feet away, his face unreadable.“Dad…”He looked at her.“I know.”“You knew?”“I knew enough to be afraid.”Damian stepped closer to Amelia.“What exactly are you saying?”Alexander looked at him.“That Reunion wasn't originally a project.”He paused.“It was a response.”Elena's expression changed.“Alexander…”“I have kept this secret long enough.”Adrian folded his arms.“You've been keeping secrets since we were children. Start talking.”Alexander walked toward the screen.“When Amelia and Adrian were children, there was an incident.”Amelia frowned.“What incident?”“The first memory.”She froze.The strange childhood memory.The room.The newborn.The little girl.Lucian.The flashes that had haunted her for years.Alexander continued.“Before Reunion had

CHAPTER 131: THE BOY WHO REMEMBERED HER

Nobody moved.The voice from upstairs had silenced the entire house.Amelia's fingers tightened around Damian's hand.“No,” she whispered.Damian looked at her.“What?”She shook her head. “I don't know.”A slow smile could be heard in the man's voice.“You always said that when you were afraid.”Amelia's heart pounded.Alexander stepped toward the staircase.“Stay behind me.”Adrian immediately moved beside him.“You're not going anywhere alone.”Alexander looked at him.“This isn't your fight.”Adrian gave a humorless laugh.“You disappeared from my life for years. You don't get to decide what my fight is.”Another sound came from upstairs.A chair scraping against the floor.Then silence.Damian looked at Amelia.“Stay here.”“No.”“Amelia—”“I've spent my entire life being told to stay behind someone.”She stepped forward.“Not anymore.”Damian stared at her for a moment before nodding.“Then we go together.”They climbed the stairs.One step at a time.Alexander followed.Adrian

CHAPTER 132: THE FACE BEHIND THE LIE

Nobody breathed.The little boy stood between Amelia and the staircase, clutching the old photograph against his chest.Daniel—or whoever he was—had stopped smiling.The man's entire expression had changed.“You know,” Damian said quietly, “I was wondering when you would finally stop pretending.”The stranger's eyes shifted toward him.Amelia looked between them.“Damian…”“Stay behind me.”The boy suddenly grabbed Amelia's hand.“Don't let him take me.”Amelia immediately pulled him closer.“I won't.”The stranger laughed softly.“You still do that.”Amelia frowned.“Do what?”“Protect people you don't understand.”He reached into his pocket.Damian raised his weapon.“Don't.”The man stopped.Then slowly lifted both hands.“I don't need a weapon.”Alexander stepped forward.“You've already done enough.”The stranger looked at him.“Have I?”His voice changed.It was deeper now.Colder.“You destroyed my identity.”Alexander's face tightened.“You destroyed yourself.”The man smiled.

CHAPTER 133: THE TRUTH ABOUT PEARL

“Pearl.”The name hung in the room.Amelia stared at her mother.For the first time, Mara didn't look like a victim.She didn't look frightened.She looked tired.Like someone who had carried a secret for far too long.Amelia slowly released Noah's hand.“You knew.”Mara's eyes filled with tears.“Yes.”“You knew who I was.”“Yes.”“You knew about Noah.”Mara nodded.“You knew about Samuel.”“Yes.”Amelia's voice broke.“And you let me live all these years without knowing any of it?”Mara swallowed.“I thought I was protecting you.”Amelia laughed bitterly.“Everyone keeps saying that.”She wiped her tears.“Dad said it. Samuel said it. Now you're saying it.”She stepped closer to Mara.“But nobody ever asks whether I wanted to be protected.”Mara lowered her head.“You're right.”The admission silenced Amelia.Mara took a breath.“I was wrong.”Alexander looked at her.“Mara…”“No.”She turned toward him.“No more.”Her voice was calm.“She deserves the truth.”Alexander didn't argue

CHAPTER 134: THE MORNING AFTER

Morning came quietly.For the first time in what felt like years, Amelia woke without fear.No strange dreams.No footsteps outside the door.No mysterious messages waiting on her phone.No feeling that someone was watching her.Just sunlight.Warm sunlight spilled through the curtains, painting soft patterns across the bedroom.Amelia opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling.For a few seconds, she simply lay there.Then she smiled.Peace.It felt unfamiliar.But she liked it.Beside her, Damian was still asleep.His hair was slightly messy, and one arm was stretched across the empty space where she had been sleeping.Amelia quietly slipped out of bed.The moment her feet touched the floor, she heard a tiny voice from the doorway.“Mommy.”She turned.Noah stood there in his pajamas, rubbing his sleepy eyes.Amelia smiled.“Good morning.”He walked straight into her arms.She lifted him.“Did you sleep well?”He nodded.“I had a dream.”“What kind?”“That we were home.”Amelia kisse

CHAPTER 135: THE WOMAN BEHIND THE SHARES

The boardroom fell silent.Amelia stared at the screen.ELENA CROSS.The name seemed almost impossible.She turned toward Nathan.“You're sure?”Nathan nodded.“We verified the transactions twice.”Damian walked toward the screen.“How many shares?”“Twenty-two percent.”Damian's expression hardened.“Twenty-two?”Nathan nodded.“And she purchased them through three different investment companies.”Adrian, who had followed them into the building, stepped forward.“That's not possible.”Everyone turned.Adrian stared at the screen.“I know Elena.”Damian looked at him.“You're saying she couldn't do this?”“I'm saying she wouldn't.”Amelia studied him.“Could someone be using her name?”Adrian didn't answer immediately.“Yes.”Damian turned to Nathan.“Find out where the money came from.”“I already started.”“And?”Nathan placed a folder on the table.“We traced one of the accounts.”Damian opened it.His eyes narrowed.“Singapore.”Nathan nodded.“Then Switzerland.”Amelia frowned.“

CHAPTER 136: THE MAN FROM HIS FATHER'S PAST

Nobody spoke.The figure on the screen remained unchanged.ELENA CROSS — 22%UNKNOWN INVESTOR — 18%Damian stared at the numbers.Forty percent.That was far too much power to ignore.Nathan broke the silence.“If they acquire another eleven percent, they can block major decisions.”Damian nodded slowly.“Then they won't get it.”Adrian looked at him.“You're assuming they need to.”Damian turned.“What do you mean?”“If Elena isn't acting alone, they may already have enough support from the board.”Damian's expression hardened.“Then we'll find out who.”He looked at Nathan.“Freeze every major transaction until we know exactly what's happening.”Nathan nodded.“Done.”“And notify the legal department.”“They're already on their way.”Damian turned toward Victoria.“You said your father made an agreement with mine.”“Yes.”“And you came here because of that agreement?”Victoria nodded.“My father spent years trying to protect it.”“Why?”“Because he believed your father was protectin

CHAPTER 137: THE TRUST THEY HID

For several seconds after Jonathan left, nobody in the boardroom moved.The door closed behind him with a soft click.Damian remained standing.His eyes were fixed on the door.Amelia watched him carefully.“Damian?”He finally turned.“I don't trust him.”Nathan exhaled. “Neither do I.”Adrian leaned against the table, arms folded.“But that doesn't mean everything he said was a lie.”Victoria slowly nodded.“My father kept records of the Vale family agreement,” she said. “If Jonathan's name was deliberately removed from those records, there has to be a reason.”Damian walked back to the table.“Then we find the reason.”Nathan immediately opened his laptop.“There is something else.”Everyone looked at him.Nathan turned the screen around.“The trust that currently holds eighteen percent of Vale Group shares.”Damian's expression hardened.“What about it?”“It wasn't established six months ago.”Silence.Nathan enlarged the document.“It was registered six months ago,” he continued.

CHAPTER 138: THIRTY DAYS

The next morning, Damian arrived at Vale Group before sunrise.He hadn't slept much.Neither had Amelia.The message from Jonathan remained on his mind.THIRTY DAYS.Not a threat thrown into the air.A deadline.A legal deadline backed by documents, trusts, and a history Damian hadn't known existed.When the elevator doors opened, Nathan was already waiting.“You came early.”Damian stepped out.“So did you.”Nathan gave a tired smile.“I thought you might want to see this before the board does.”He handed Damian a folder.Damian opened it as they walked.“What is it?”“The original shareholder agreement. The complete version.”Damian stopped.“You found the missing page?”“Yes.”“And?”Nathan lowered his voice.“The copy we had wasn't altered recently. It was replaced decades ago.”Damian looked up.“Meaning?”“Someone deliberately removed the final pages before the agreement entered the company's official records.”Damian's eyes hardened.“Who had access?”“That is what I'm trying t

CHAPTER 139: WHAT BELONGED TO THE VALES

Damian remained silent long after the call ended.Amelia watched him.“The company was created by your family?”He nodded slowly.“Twenty-nine years ago.”“And Jonathan owned it?”“Apparently.”She studied his face.“Damian…”“I know what you're thinking.”“No, you don't.”He looked at her.“You're thinking I should simply give him the company.”Amelia shook her head.“I wasn't going to say that.”“Then what?”“That we need to know the truth before deciding what belongs to whom.”For a moment, Damian said nothing.Then he smiled faintly.“That is exactly why I married you.”Amelia rolled her eyes.“Don't try to distract me.”“I wasn't.”“You were.”He laughed softly.Then his expression became serious again.“Let's go home.”---By the time they returned to the house, the rest of the family had already gathered.Adrian was sitting at the dining table with Nathan's documents spread before him.Victoria stood near the window.Elena sat quietly beside Mara.Noah was on the floor, playing
