Chapter 13 - THE FIRST HEIRThe photograph belonged to a secret history nobody knew.
Victor had another child.
A daughter.
She had been born before Dominic.
Before Adrian.
Before the Moretti empire became what it was.
Her name was Isabella.
Eleanor explained that Victor had hidden Isabella because she was the first legal heir to the original trust.
When Isabella was born, Victor's father created the trust specifically for her.
But Isabella disappeared.
Everyone assumed she had died.
She hadn't.
She had been living under another name.
Dominic found her within days.
She was a woman in her forties.
Quiet.
Successful.
And completely unaware of the fortune connected to her name.
When Dominic told her the truth, she laughed.
“I don't want your money.”
Dominic smiled.
“Neither did I.”
She looked at Lily.
“Then why bring me here?”
“Because you deserve to know where you came from.”
Isabella stared at the family photographs.
Then she cried.

Not because she wanted the fortune.
Because she had spent her entire life believing she had been abandoned.
