Inside, Adrian stayed beside Emily, guiding every breath like he had done it before.

Emily’s voice trembled.

“If you know me… why didn’t you come sooner?”

A flicker of pain crossed his face.

“I did.”

He reached into his coat and pulled out a worn photograph.

“She is you.”

The room tilted.

“Mark didn’t marry you by accident, Emily.”

“He was assigned to find you.”

The heart monitor screamed faster.

Emily gasped, clutching her stomach.

“Why?”

Adrian stepped closer.

“Because your inheritance wasn’t just money.”

“It was control of an entire medical empire… and someone didn’t want you alive to claim it.”
