Elena couldn't move.For years, she had imagined this moment.Sometimes she imagined running into her mother's arms.Sometimes she imagined screaming at her.Sometimes she imagined asking why she had abandoned her.But she had never imagined standing inside a hidden chapel archive and discovering that her mother had been alive all along.“Mom?”Margaret's eyes filled with tears.“Elena.”Elena took one step forward.Then stopped.“Don't.”Margaret froze.“You lied to me.”“I know.”“You let me believe you were dead.”“I had no choice.”“You always had a choice.”Margaret looked down.“No. I didn't.”Adrian stepped closer to Elena.Margaret's eyes moved toward him.For a moment, something changed in her expression.Fear.“You shouldn't have brought him.”Elena looked at Adrian.“He came with me.”Margaret shook her head.“You don't understand what his family did.”Adrian's voice was calm.“Then tell us.”Margaret stared at him.“You sound like your father.”Richard looked away.Margare

The hidden passage was narrow and dark.Elena ran beside Adrian, clutching the silver key.Behind them, footsteps echoed through the underground corridor.Charles was close behind.“Keep moving!” he shouted.Elena glanced over her shoulder.“Where does this passage lead?”Richard answered from behind them.“The old cemetery.”Elena frowned.“The cemetery?”“It was built behind the chapel.”Adrian looked at his father.“How do you know?”“I helped build the passage.”Charles gave him a suspicious look.“Of course you did.”They reached the end of the tunnel.Adrian pushed against the stone door.It opened.Cold night air rushed in.They emerged behind the abandoned chapel.Elena looked around.There was no sign of Margaret or Thomas.Her heart tightened.“We left them.”Adrian stepped beside her.“We'll go back.”Richard shook his head.“Not yet.”Elena turned on him.“My mother is in there.”“And if you go back now, they'll use you to control her.”Elena wanted to argue.But she knew

Elena couldn't stop staring at her name.ELENA ROSE BENNETT.The words seemed impossible.“I don't understand.”Victoria remained silent.Elena turned toward her.“You said Lily was the heir.”“She is the key.”“But Charles said I'm the real heir.”Victoria nodded slowly.“Yes.”Adrian looked at his mother.“Explain.”Victoria took a breath.“Catherine created the original agreement before Elena was born.”Elena listened carefully.“She believed the next generation should inherit the truth instead of the wealth.”Richard interrupted.“But Alexander changed the agreement.”Victoria nodded.“He wanted control of the trust.”Elena looked at the notebook.“And where do I fit into this?”Victoria's voice softened.“You were born into the agreement.”Elena frowned.“I was a baby.”“Exactly.”“What did Alexander want from me?”“Your identity.”Elena stared at her.Victoria continued.“Alexander knew you were his biological daughter. He knew Daniel wasn't your biological father.”Daniel's con

The room fell silent.Elena stared at Victoria.“She is with Charles?”Victoria nodded.“He took her.”“When?”“Before we reached the cemetery.”Elena's voice shook.“Why didn't you tell me?”“Because he threatened Lily.”Adrian stepped forward.“You should have told us.”Victoria looked at him.“I was trying to keep her alive.”Elena turned toward Catherine.“You knew about Charles.”“Yes.”“And you didn't stop him?”“I didn't know he had moved against you.”Catherine walked toward the cabinet.“He is more dangerous than I thought.”Elena followed her.“Then help me get Lily back.”Catherine opened another drawer.Inside was an old map.“This is Charles's property.”Elena studied it.“Where?”“An abandoned Vale warehouse.”Adrian took the map.“We go now.”Catherine shook her head.“No.”He looked at her.“Why?”“Because Charles expects you.”“Then he'll get what he expects.”“No.”Catherine pointed to the map.“He doesn't want you.”She looked at Elena.“He wants her.”Elena swallow

The words stayed in the air long after Catherine Vale stopped speaking.The heir before Alexander.Elena stared at the photograph in her hands.Jonathan Vale stood at the center of it, younger than she had imagined, wearing a dark suit with the strange crown symbol stitched onto his sleeve. Beside him stood Catherine, Amelia, and several members of the Blackwood family.But there was something else.Someone had been cut out of the photograph.Not torn away completely.The edges were still visible.Someone had deliberately removed a person from the picture.“Who was standing beside Jonathan?” Elena asked.Catherine's expression hardened.“My sister.”“Amelia?”Catherine nodded.Elena looked at the photograph again. “Then why remove her?”“Because Amelia knew too much.”Adrian stepped closer. “About Jonathan?”“About everything.”A sudden noise came from outside the warehouse.Everyone froze.Lily immediately moved closer to Elena.Charles reached for the door.“Don't,” Adrian warned.C
