Chapter 9 - The Name Nobody ExpectedThe room fell completely silent.
Elena looked genuinely shocked.
“No,” she whispered.
Vivian's voice cracked.
“Your mother was my sister.”

Elena shook her head.
“My mother died when I was young.”
“She was cut out of the family,” Vivian said. “My father wanted the scandal buried.”
Daniel felt sick.
“What scandal?”
Vivian looked away.
“Your grandmother discovered that her youngest daughter had been cheated out of her inheritance.”
“And Elena?”
“She was her only child.”
