CHAPTER 42 — THE NIGHT ISABELLE DISAPPEAREDThe photograph remained on the table.Amelia stared at the image of her mother holding a newborn baby. The message written on the back kept repeating in her mind.Four children were born. But only three were meant to survive the truth.“Victoria,” Amelia said carefully, “what happened to my mother the night she disappeared?”Victoria looked at the photograph but didn't answer immediately.Alexander stood beside his mother, his expression serious. “You said you knew something about that night. It's time to tell us.”Victoria took a slow breath.“Isabelle came to the Blackwood mansion several weeks after the birth of her children. She was frightened. She told me someone had been following her and that important documents were missing.”“Who was following her?” Amelia asked.“I never found out. She refused to give me a name. She only said that Eleanor had discovered something she wasn't supposed to know.”Alexander frowned. “What could Isabelle

Chapter 44: The Signature of the PastRichard stared at the document in his hands.For several minutes, he barely moved. The old paper contained names, signatures, and instructions that had been hidden for years. But one name stood out more than the others.Thomas Hale.Richard knew Thomas had been connected to the Laurent and Blackwood families for decades. He had handled legal arrangements, attended private meetings, and worked closely with Edward Laurent.

She had admitted signing an agreement, but she had never mentioned signing a hospital document connected to the fourth child.Now her name was sitting directly beneath Evelyn Carter's.Alexander slowly looked toward the doorway.Victoria stood there, her hands clasped together. Her expression was difficult to read, but the fear in her eyes revealed more than she intended."Mother," Alexander said quietly. "Tell me why your signature is on this document."Victoria stepped into the office."Where did you get that?""That isn't an answer."She looked at the screen and swallowed."I can explain.""Then explain."Victoria glanced at Amelia, Charlotte, and Daniel, who had gathered behind Alexander."This is a family matter."Amelia stepped forward."

Chapter 48: The Name on the Record"Isabelle Laurent."The name echoed through the room.Amelia stared at Alexander's phone, hoping she had misunderstood what the security officer had said."Read it again," she demanded.Alexander looked at the message."The emergency contact on Grace Bennett's surviving record is Isabelle Laurent."Charlotte slowly sat down."But Mother disappeared years ago. How could she be listed as an emergency contact?"Richard took the document from Alexander."Perhaps someone used her name without her permission."Daniel shook his head."That doesn't explain why the record was kept active."Victoria remained silent.Amelia turned toward her."You knew my mother better than anyone in this family. Is there something you're still hiding?"Victoria looked exhauste
