Chapter 3: The Secret Behind Sophie
The next morning, Victoria woke up to chaos.
Her lawyers were calling.
Her business partners were demanding answers.
Several major contracts had suddenly been frozen.
And nobody would tell her why.
Then Adrian arrived.
Victoria waited in her office, trying to hide her fear.
“You ruined my company because of a servant?”
Adrian sat across from her.
“No.”
Victoria frowned.
“Then why?”
Adrian placed an old photograph on the table.
Victoria’s face changed.
The picture showed a young woman.
A baby.
And a man.
Victoria recognized the woman.
Sophie.
“You know her?”
Adrian’s voice became colder.
“She’s my sister.”
Victoria froze.
Impossible.
Everyone thought Adrian Black had no family.
Years ago, his younger sister disappeared after being taken away from home.
Everyone assumed she was gone forever.
But Adrian had spent years searching.
And the clues finally led him to Sophie.
The maid Victoria had treated like nothing.
“The girl you humiliated yesterday…”
Adrian looked at the photograph.

“Is the person my family has been searching for.”
Victoria’s hands started shaking.
