Chapter 6 - The Second CradleMaria finally told him the truth.
Thirty-two years earlier, she had given birth to twin boys.
Daniel and Noah.
Two identical children.
Two futures.
One powerful family.
The Harrington family had discovered that the twins were connected to an inheritance controlled by a secret trust.
The family patriarch, Edward Harrington, feared that if the twins were raised together, they could eventually challenge the family's financial empire.
So one child was taken.
Maria was told that Daniel had died.
The other baby disappeared into the system.
Julian's hands trembled.
“Where is Noah?”
“I don't know.”
“But someone does.”
Maria looked down.
“Yes.”
“Who?”
She whispered a name.
“Victor Harrington.”
Julian froze.
His adoptive father's older brother.
A man who had supposedly died fifteen years earlier.
Except Maria had seen him alive.
Recently.
Julian stood.
“Why didn't you tell me this before?”
“Because I was afraid.”
“Of what?”
