A birth certificate.
A name.

Arthur Vance's secret son.
Twenty-eight years old.
Blue-collar construction worker.
Married.
Two children.
He had never wanted Arthur's money.
Arthur, however, had recently found him.
And Julian knew.
Ethan became the missing piece.
Arthur had been preparing to replace Julian with Ethan.
Julian had discovered the truth.
Suddenly, everything made sense.
The fake pregnancy.
The desperate need for an heir.
The stolen money.
The obsession with controlling my baby.
Julian wasn't simply trying to save his marriage.
He was trying to save his inheritance.
We brought Ethan to New York.
He looked uncomfortable in my father's penthouse.
"I don't want Arthur's money," he said.
I believed him.
Then I told him about the twenty-three million dollars stolen from Vance Industries.
His face changed.
"I never touched that money."
Someone had opened accounts in his name.
Someone had framed him.
Someone had planned to destroy him.
Ethan stared at me.
"Julian."
I nodded.

He stood.
"Where do I sign?"
