“They had just started digging into the past, and then this happened–how could that be a coincidence? And to know their exact route, to know they’d left my place… it seems the other side has eyes everywhere. Pass the word down; have our men investigate themselves. If you find a traitor, take care of it immediately.”

His voice wasn’t loud, barely carried any inflection; yet it sent a chill through the heart.

“Yes, sir.”

The bodyguard hurried away.

Baron’s brows furrowed tightly. Just then, Waylon’s call came through.

He paused, then swiped to answer.

“Mr. Waylon, are you and your son alright?”

“We’re fine, thank you for your concern, Mr. Baron. Yesterday shook me more than I’d like to admit. I wanted to let you know—we won’t be coming today, or anytime soon. Once I’ve cleaned up matters within the Stone family, I’ll officially welcome Natalie home.”

Baron found himself agreeing with Waylon’s approach.

“Do you want me to tell her about your relationship?”

“Of course!”

Waylon couldn’t wait another day.

Natalie was his daughter; even if he couldn’t bring her home openly yet, he would as soon as possible.

Baron gave a small nod,

“Alright. In the meantime, I’ll take good care of her. You focus on cleaning house. I don’t want Natalie returning only to be targeted and watched all over again.”

With that, he ended the call.

Just then, one of his men ran up and whispered a few words in his ear. Baron’s face changed

instantly.

“Get things ready. I’m going to Ocean City.”

At his command, the man rushed off.

When Natalie came out after washing up, she found Baron standing before the floor–to–ceiling window, a cigarette between his fingers.

He wasn’t a heavy smoker; most of the time, he simply played with the habit. But now, his figure radiated a quiet loneliness that Natalie couldn’t ignore.

Her chest tightened with sudden sympathy for him.

People said that once a woman began to feel sorry for a man, it meant she was falling in love.

Natalie didn’t know if she was in love, but in that moment, she wanted nothing more than to

hold him.

So she did she stepped forward and slipped her arms around him from behind, pressing her cheek against his back.

His back made her feel safe.

“What is it? Did something happen?”

Her voice was soft, still raspy from sleep; her scent drifted into his lungs. He quickly put out his cigarette and caught her fingers at his waist.

“There are two things I need to tell you.”

“Go on.”

She didn’t let go, still leaning into him.

Without her gaze on him, it felt easier for Baron to speak.

“Natalie, you already know about the Stone family’s DNA test. The results came out yesterday -you’re Waylon and Ruby’s biological daughter. As for why you were switched, the Stone family promised to uncover the truth. Back then, after they thought you’d died, they had Uncle Xenon do a paternity test on the dead infant. He said the child was indeed from the Stone family, which is why they never realized you were still alive. And then, coincidentally— or not–Xenon and his entire family died in a car accident within three years.”

Baron didn’t give her time to process, laying it all out at once.

Natalie wasn’t especially shocked.

She already knew much about Ruby, about those years; and with how closely her own features matched theirs, even she had doubted she could be anything but blood.

Now that her suspicions were confirmed, it felt like a stone had finally lifted from her chest; beyond that, she didn’t feel much.

“The Stone family will get to the bottom of it. But… no one came to see me?”

She couldn’t help but ask.

From what she had seen, the Stone family had cared deeply for that child. Now that they knew she was the one, surely someone would have come?

Baron turned to face her, his voice low. “They came yesterday. But you were too tired and asleep, so I told them to come back today. Then, on their way, they got into a car accident.”

“What?”

Natalie’s heart jumped.

“Are they alright?”

“They’re fine. But it’s clear this ties back to a traitor in the Stone family. Your father just called me–he doesn’t plan to take you home yet, but he wanted me to tell you who you are. He said once he’s purged the Stone family, he’ll bring you back.”

Baron feared she might be upset.

After all, the Summers family had abandoned her the moment they learned she wasn’t theirs.
