Marco stood frozen beside his chair, Elena’s ultimatum still echoing in his mind.

Forget about your job in my company if you cannot comply.

Those words had struck deeper than any public embarrassment could have. Pride alone he could defend. Pride he could justify. But this—this threatened his livelihood, his position, the status he had worked carefully to build. His pride burned hot in his chest, but beneath it was something heavier and colder.

    Donald stared at the photograph in Michael’s hand, his expression growing darker by the second.The nurse standing in the background had been presumed dead for twenty years. Yet someone had recently delivered mysterious hospital records to Richard’s office, and now her face had appeared in an old photograph connected to the birth of Donald and Michael.It was too much of a coincidence to ignore.“Get the investigator on the phone,” Donald ordered his security chief. “I want everything about this woman. Her real name, her family, her former addresses, and where she might be living now. If she changed her identity, find out what name she is using.”“Yes, sir.”“And send two men to check on Richard. Nobody gets near him without our permission. If he regains consciousness, I want to know immediately.”His security chief hurried away to carry out the instructions.Ivy remained beside Donald, her eyes fixed on the photograph.“Donald, what if this nurse knows which of you was taken from you

    For several seconds, Ivy could not move.She stared at Donald, convinced she had misunderstood him."My mother?" she whispered.Donald nodded slowly."Richard said my biological mother was your mother."Ivy shook her head."No. That cannot be true."Donald said nothing."My mother gave birth to me. I grew up with her. I know who my mother is."Her voice trembled as she turned toward Samuel."Tell him he's wrong."Samuel's expression was troubled."Ivy...""Tell him!"Samuel looked at Donald, then back at Ivy."I don't know what happened twenty years ago. But we cannot dismiss what Richard said before he collapsed."Ivy stepped backward."You're all making this up. First, I'm told that Samuel is my biological father. Now I'm being told that Donald and I might have the same mother?"She pressed her hands against her temples."This makes no sense!"Donald immediately approached her."Ivy, look at me."She raised her tearful eyes."How can I look at you? How can I even understand what's h

    Donald remained frozen with the phone against his ear long after the call had ended.Ivy moved closer."Donald."He slowly lowered the phone."The man said he was my father."Michael stared at him."Your biological father?"Donald nodded.Richard suddenly spoke."Who?"Donald looked at him."He didn't give his name."Richard's face tightened."But you recognized his voice?""No.""Then how do you know he is your father?""Because he said he knew who my biological parents were."Richard looked toward the letter in Michael's hand."Then the letter may be real."Michael folded the letter carefully."We need to leave."Alexander nodded."Immediately."The hooded man remained where he was.Donald turned toward him."You're coming with us."The man smiled."I expected you to say that."Michael looked at him coldly."Why did you bring us here?""Because I knew the truth was finally going to come out.""You could have told me years ago.""I couldn't.""Why?"The man's expression became seriou

    For several seconds, nobody spoke.Donald stared at the man.Then he looked at Michael.Michael looked equally confused."There was only one child?" Donald asked.The man nodded."Yes."Donald shook his head."That is impossible. We have photographs. Birth records. My father admitted that my mother was carrying twins.""Your father believed what he was shown."Donald felt his heart pounding."What are you saying?"The man looked at Michael."Your mother gave birth to one child."Michael's face became pale."Me?"The man nodded."Yes."Donald stepped forward."Then who am I?"The man smiled faintly."That is the question you should have been asking from the beginning."Michael looked at Donald."No."The man continued."Your mother gave birth to a single boy. But your grandfather wanted a second heir."Donald frowned."Why?""Because he wanted an heir who could be controlled."Alexander stepped forward."You're saying Donald was created as a false identity?"The man shook his head."No

    "Samuel!"Donald rushed toward the door.Alexander grabbed his arm."Wait."Donald turned sharply."My father is gone.""I know.""We have to find him.""We will. But that's exactly what they want us to do."Donald looked around the room.The security guards were already checking every entrance.Ivy stood beside Michael, her face pale.Richard was staring at the empty chair where Samuel had been sitting only moments earlier."He was right here," Richard whispered.Donald turned toward him."How did nobody see him leave?"Richard shook his head."I don't know."Michael suddenly walked toward the wall."Nobody left through the door."Alexander looked at him."What?"Michael pointed toward the floor."Look."There was a faint trail of dust leading toward the old wooden cabinet.Alexander immediately moved it aside.Behind it was a narrow door.Donald stared."There was a passage here?"Richard looked stunned."This building is over twenty years old. There were several service passages."

    Donald spun around."Samuel!"There was no answer.The chair where Samuel had been sitting was empty.Ivy immediately grabbed Donald's arm."He was here just seconds ago."Alexander was already moving."Lock every exit!"The security team rushed through the corridors.Donald looked around the room."How did he disappear?"Michael's face was tense."There must be another entrance."Richard pointed toward the wall."There."Everyone turned.A section of the wooden paneling was slightly open.Alexander pushed it aside.Behind it was a narrow passage.Donald's eyes narrowed."This building has a hidden passage?"Richard nodded slowly."It was part of the original structure.""Where does it lead?""Outside."Donald immediately moved toward it.Alexander stopped him."Wait.""I am going after Samuel.""That's exactly what they want."Donald stared at him."My father-in-law has been taken."Michael stepped forward."I'll go."Donald looked at him."No."Michael frowned."Why?""Because you'r
