"That can't be true!" Henry shouted angrily, hurling the remote across the room. It smashed into the television

screen, shattering the glass into a web of cracks.

"But it is true, Father," Oliver snarled, his nostrils flaring in anger. "They've found Adeline," he added, his voice

thick with bitterness as his eyes remained fixed on the shattered screen, his hatred simmering just beneath the

surface.

"That bitch!" Henry hissed through gritted teeth. "I thought | had gotten rid of her years ago. | thought she must

have died that night, but she survived. How?" He slammed his hands on the table in frustration.

"It seems like a miracle, Father," Oliver mumbled with disappointment in his voice.

Twenty-seven years ago, when Duke William Montecarlo's wife, Camille, was pregnant with a girl, the head of the

Montecarlo family-William and Henry's father-had already designated the youngest daughter of the Duke as the

heiress to the Montecarlo ancestral empire. This left Henry heartbroken, as he received nothing from his father

except for one of his business ventures and a mansion.

The title of Duke, along with its accompanying power and wealth, was set to pass to William's elder son,

Alexander Montecarlo, leaving Henry with nothing. So, Henry devised a cunning plan with one of William's

mistresses, who was in love with William and desperate to win him for herself.

The night, when Adeline Montecarlo was born, was a stormy night filled with misfortunes. Henry stole the

newborn child shortly after her birth. He bribed the nurse, who handed over the baby without giving the mother

a chance to see her. As Henry was making his escape with Adeline, William arrived unexpectedly, and they

engaged in a fierce struggle. Henry killed William in the ensuing fight and took Adeline with him.

He handed the baby Adeline to Lucy, William's mistress, who was unaware of William's death at that time.

According to their plan, Lucy was supposed to kill the infant. When Lucy saw the news of William's death, she

lost her mind and rushed to see him one last time. In her frantic state, she didn't realize where she had

left the newborn girl.

When she returned and confessed that she had abducted Adeline, Henry was terrified she would implicate him.

To prevent this, he had her killed in the castle prison before the trial could take place.

Henry believed that Lucy would have killed baby Adeline before returning to the estate, which was why she

couldn't reveal the baby's location. He had been waiting for the period to elapse so he could claim the wealth

and inheritance. However, Adeline's unexpected return had thwarted Henry's plans and jeopardized his hope of

acquiring the wealth and properties.

His business was faltering, and he was deeply in debt, with all his properties mortgaged. He had been living off

the money Camille was providing him under the pretense of searching for her daughter. Now, even that source of

support was at risk of ending. Henry's entire future appeared bleak, with no prospects for himself, his son, or his

grandchildren. Faced with such despair, he knew he had to act just as he had twenty-seven years ago.

Determined, he lifted his head, took a deep breath, and formulated a new, comprehensive plan.

"Where is she?" Henry asked Oliver, his voice steely with resolve. "Let's go and meet the new heiress, after all,"

he smirked darkly. Oliver, sensing the dangerous glint in his father's eyes, knew that something significant was

brewing in Henry's mind. "There's a press conference happening in Monaco, quite far from the Duke's estate. The

Duke and Lady Camille are announcing the return of the heiress" Oliver informed him.

"Perfect. It's the best tto meet our heiress," Henry remarked sarcastically, a cunning smile shared between

father and son.

Alexander, Camille, and Mia were at a lavish press conference hosted in a luxurious seven-star hotel, where Mia

was being formally introduced as Adeline Montecarlo, the heiress of the Montecarlo empire. The event proceeded

flawlessly, with media and press brimming with anticipation as the announcement captured headlines and

becthe latest sensation.

Matteo watched the unfolding spectacle on the television in his Monaco hotel room. He and his team had

remained in the city, awaiting further instructions from Alessandro, while Alessandro remained imprisoned in the

castle by the Duke. He was confined in the castle's dungeons, and Mia had not cto see him. Alessandro

waited, hoping that his wife's heart might soften and lead her to visit him.

Suddenly, the Duke's phone began ringing. He answered it, and his expression immediately darkened. He quickly

approached his mother and sister.

"What's wrong?" Lady Camille asked, noticing the furrow on her son's face.

"Mother, our factory in the east," Alexander sighed. "There is a fire break out, and the workers are trapped.
