“Elena, open this door before I break it!”Adrian’s voice thundered from the other side, but I couldn’t bring myself to move. My eyes remained fixed on the message claiming I had a son somewhere in the city, a child I had never known existed.My hands trembled as I typed a reply.Who are you? Where is my son?The message was delivered immediately, but no response came.“Elena!” Adrian knocked again. “I know something is wrong. Please open the door.”I slipped my phone into my pocket and unlocked it.He entered, his eyes immediately searching my face.“What happened?”“Did you know my mother had another child?”His expression changed.“Why are you asking me that?”“Answer me, Adrian.”He closed the door behind him. “I heard your mother’s name mentioned in the hospital investigation, but I didn’t know she had another child.”“Someone just told me I have a son.”He stared at me.“What?”I showed him the messages, watching his expression grow darker with every line.When he reached the fi

“Tell me Victoria is lying,” I whispered.Adrian stood before me, his face unreadable, while the accusation hung between us like a death sentence. I searched his eyes for the man I had married, hoping to find even a trace of the honesty I had once believed he possessed.He said nothing.That silence hurt more than any confession could have.“Adrian, did you order my father’s death?”“No.”“Then why would my mother accuse you?”“I don’t know what your mother told Victoria, but I did not kill your father.”Victoria gave a bitter laugh.“Of course you would deny it. That’s what the Blackwells have always done. They bury the truth and expect everyone else to live with the consequences.”Adrian turned toward her. “You have spent years manipulating this family. Don’t pretend you’re suddenly innocent.”“I never claimed to be innocent. But I didn’t murder Daniel Hayes.”I stepped between them.“Enough! My father is dead, my mother is missing, and my son has disappeared. I don’t care which one
