Chapter 1

📲: Call/Messages 💭: Thoughts ( ): Actions

The Valemont Mansion had never felt this quiet

Outside, the fountains flowed peacefully, and the gardens looked as perfect as ever

Inside

Everything had changed

In Damien Valemont's study, a thick investigation file lay open on the desk

Damien stood by the window, his expression unreadable

Evelyn sat on the sofa, her trembling hands tightly gripping a handkerchief

Neither of them had spoken for several minutes

Finally

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

Are the results confirmed?

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

Yes

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

Three separate tests

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

And all came back positive

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

So our son...

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

Isn't our biological child

The room fell silent

For sixteen years they had raised Lucien as their son

Yet today they learned that another boy was their real child

A child who had spent sixteen years away from them

Evelyn lowered her head, tears falling onto the report

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

Where is he now?

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

With his aunt

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

His aunt?

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

The younger sister of the woman who raised him

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

(Lowered her head)

The couple who had raised Adrian had died almost a year ago

The truth had only been discovered because of a hospital testing after the accident

One investigation led to another

And eventually

To the Valemont family

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

How must he have felt... losing the only parents he ever knew?

Damien didn't answer

There was no answer that could ease the pain

Just then

A knock came from the door

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

Come in

The study door opened

Alexander entered first

Tall and composed, he immediately sensed the heavy atmosphere

Bahind him his wife Isabella

She looked from Damien to Evelyn with concern

A few seconds later, an energetic little girl peeked inside

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

Daddy?

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

Why is everyone so quiet?

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

(Forced a smile)

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

Come here sweetheart

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

(Hurried over and climbed onto Evelyn's lap)

Alexander Valemont (MC'S BIG BRO)

(Noticed the file on the desk)

Alexander Valemont (MC'S BIG BRO)

The investigation is over?

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

(Nodded once)

Alexander read his parents' expressions

He didn't need to ask twice

Alexander Valemont (MC'S BIG BRO)

It's true

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

(Quietly pushed the report towards him)

Alexander skimmed through it before letting out a long sigh

Isabella gently rested a hand on his arm

She had already guessed the outcome

Isabella Valemont (MC'S SIL)

So...Adrian is coming here?

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

Tomorrow

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

(Tilted her head)

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

Who's Adrian?

The adults exchanged glances

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

(Softly stroking her daughter's head)

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

He's your brother

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

(Blinked)

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

My brother?

She counted on her fingers

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

But I already have big brother

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

And brother Lucien

Everyone smiled faintly despite the sadness

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

You'll have another big brother

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

(Face lit up)

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

Really?

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

Then I will make him cookies!

Isabella Valemont (MC'S SIL)

(Laughed quietly)

Isabella Valemont (MC'S SIL)

I think he'd like that

The heavy atmosphere eased only for a moment

Another knock came from the door

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

Come in

The door opened once more

A handsome sixteen-year-old stepped inside

Lucien Valemont

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Looked around the room before speaking)

Lucien Valemont (ML)

You wanted to see me?

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Gaze landed on the file)

He already knew

For the past few days, the mansion had been unusually tense

He wasn't stupid

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

Sit down

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Remained standing)

Lucien Valemont (ML)

It's about Adrian, isn't it?

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

(Looked at him with guilty eyes)

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

Yes

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Silent for a moment)

Then he asked the question everyone had been expecting

Lucien Valemont (ML)

When is he coming?

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

Tomorrow morning

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Nodded once)

Lucien Valemont (ML)

Has the room been prepared?

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

(Eyes filled with tears again)

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

Lucien ...

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Smiled softly)

A smile that didn't quite reach his eyes

Lucien Valemont (ML)

What?

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

Aren't you angry?

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Looked down for a moment before reaching her eyes again)

Lucien Valemont (ML)

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't shocked

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Laughed quietly)

Lucien Valemont (ML)

But none of this is Adrian's fault

Lucien Valemont (ML)

And it isn't mine either

Silence filled the room

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Walked over to Evelyn)

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Gently held her hands)

Lucien Valemont (ML)

Mom

Lucien Valemont (ML)

Whether a DNA test changes anything or not

Lucien Valemont (ML)

You and Dad are still my parents

Lucien Valemont (ML)

I've called you Mom for sixteen years

Lucien Valemont (ML)

I'm not stopping now

Unable to hold back anymore, Evelyn stood and hugged him tightly

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Hugged her back)

Alexander Valemont (MC'S BIG BRO)

(Looked away swallowing the lump in his throat)

Isabella Valemont (MC'S SIL)

(Quietly wiped a tear from her cheek)

Even Damien closed his eyes for a brief moment

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

(Looked around in confusion)

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

Why is everyone crying?

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Smiled and ruffled her hair)

Lucien Valemont (ML)

It's okay

Lucien Valemont (ML)

You'll understand when you are older

Far away

A train slowly entered the city station

A sixteen-year-old boy sat quietly beside the window

A single duffel bag rested at his feet

His fingers held an old wallet

Inside it was a faded photograph

A smiling man

A smiling woman

The parents who had raised him

The parents he still missed every single day

Adrian Valemont (MC)

(Gently brushed his thumb across the picture )

Adrian Valemont (MC)

I made it this far

Adrian Valemont (MC)

So don't worry about me

The train came to a stop

Adrian stood up, slung his duffel bag over his shoulder, and stepped onto the platform

Tomorrow

He would meet the family connected to him by blood

A family he had never known

And one boy

Who had unknowingly lived the life that should have been his

Neither Adrian nor Lucien realized it yet

But that meeting

Would change both of their lives forever

Author

From this chapter onwards the story will be written in the pov of the mc

The car slowed to a stop

I looked out the window

Adrian Valemont (MC)

💭: So this is the Valemont mansion

It looked nothing like a home

It looked like something out of a movie

The driver got out and opened the door

Driver

We're here, Young Master Adrian

Adrian Valemont (MC)

💭: Young Master

Adrian Valemont (MC)

💭: I am not used to hearing that

I picked up my duffel bag

It was the only luggage I had

The driver reached for it

Driver

I'll carry that for you

Adrian Valemont (MC)

No, thank you

Adrian Valemont (MC)

I can manage

Driver

(Nooded and stepped aside)

As I walked towards the entrance, my hand slipped into my pocket

My fingers brushed against my old wallet

The photo was still inside

Adrian Valemont (MC)

💭: Mom

Adrian Valemont (MC)

💭: Dad

Adrian Valemont (MC)

💭: I hope I am doing the right thing

The front door opened

A woman hurried outside before anyone else

She stopped a few steps away from me

Her eyes were already red

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

Adrian

For a moment

Neither of us moved

She looked like she wanted to hug me

I didn't know if I wanted her to

Adrian Valemont (MC)

Hello

Her smile trembled

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

Welcome home

Home

The word hurt more than I expected

Adrian Valemont (MC)

(Smiling politely)

Adrian Valemont (MC)

I...Thank you

A tall man stepped forward

His expression was calm, but I could see guilt in his eyes

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

I am Damien

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

Your father

The words sounded strange

My father had died a year ago

Still

Adrian Valemont (MC)

(Nodding respectfully)

Adrian Valemont (MC)

It's nice to meet you

His shoulders dropped ever so slightly

As if he knew exactly what I had been thinking

Another man walked over with a warm smile

Alexander Valemont (MC'S BIG BRO)

I am Alexander

Alexander Valemont (MC'S BIG BRO)

Your elder brother

He held out his hand

I shook it

Alexander Valemont (MC'S BIG BRO)

It's good to finally meet you

Beside him stood a beautiful woman

Isabella Valemont (MC'S SIL)

And I'm Isabella

Isabella Valemont (MC'S SIL)

I married into this crazy family

Alexander Valemont (MC'S BIG BRO)

(Sighs)

Alexander Valemont (MC'S BIG BRO)

I thought we agreed not to expose our secrets

Isabella Valemont (MC'S SIL)

(Laughs)

The first genuine laugh I'd heard since arriving

Without realizing it

The tension eased a little

Suddenly

Tiny footsteps echoed across the entrance hall

A little girl ran toward me

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

You're Adrian?

Adrian Valemont (MC)

(Blinked)

Adrian Valemont (MC)

Yes

She stared at me for several seconds

Then

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

You're really handsome

Everyone froze

Alexander Valemont (MC'S BIG BRO)

(Covered his face)

Isabella Valemont (MC'S SIL)

(Trying not to laugh)

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

(Coughed into his fist)

I didn't know what to say

Adrian Valemont (MC)

Thank you?

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

(Beamed)

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

I'm Sophia!

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

You can call me Sophie!

Before I could answer

She grabbed my hand

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

I made cookies for you!

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

(Looking embarrassed)

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

Sophia

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

What?

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

I wanted Big Brother Adrian to like me

Adrian Valemont (MC)

💭: Big Brother

I hadn't expected those words to affect me

Adrian Valemont (MC)

Thank you

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

(Smiled proudly)

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

I knew you were nice!

For the first time since arriving

I smiled

A real one

Then

A voice came from the staircase

Lucien Valemont (ML)

I see you've already met everyone

I looked up

There he was

Lucien

He was taller than I expected

Neatly dressed

Calm

Confident

For a few seconds

Neither of us spoke

He walked downstairs and stopped in front of me

Lucien Valemont (ML)

You're Adrian

Adrian Valemont (MC)

And you're Lucien

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Nodded)

Lucien Valemont (ML)

I am

Silence

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

(Looked between both of them)

Sophia Valemont (MC'S SISTER)

Why are you two so awkward?

Alexander Valemont (MC'S BIG BRO)

(Laughed)

Alexander Valemont (MC'S BIG BRO)

Good question

Lucien ignored him

Instead, he looked at the duffel bag in my hand

Lucien Valemont (ML)

That's all you brought?

I looked down

Adrian Valemont (MC)

Yes

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Frowned slightly)

Lucien Valemont (ML)

You couldn't have fit everything into one bag

Adrian Valemont (MC)

I didn't

Adrian Valemont (MC)

I only packed what belonged to me

The words came out before I could stop them

A silence followed

Adrian Valemont (MC)

(Looked away)

Adrian Valemont (MC)

The rest stayed in my old room

Adrian Valemont (MC)

My aunt said she'd keep it exactly as it is

Adrian Valemont (MC)

In case I ever wanted to visit

No one spoke

Even Sophia became quiet

Lucien was the first to break the silence

Lucien Valemont (ML)

I am sorry

Adrian Valemont (MC)

(Looked at him)

His expression was different now

Not pity

Regret

Lucien Valemont (ML)

I didn't mean to remind you

Adrian Valemont (MC)

It's okay

Adrian Valemont (MC)

It wasn't your fault

For some reason

Those words felt like they weren't just for him

They were for both of us

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Glanced around before speaking again)

Lucien Valemont (ML)

I'll show you your room

Damien Valemont (MC'S DAD)

(Looked suprised)

Adrian Valemont (MC)

You don't have to

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Shrugged)

Lucien Valemont (ML)

I know

Then he looked at me

Lucien Valemont (ML)

Unless you'd rather someone else

I hesitated

Adrian Valemont (MC)

That's fine

He reached for my duffel bag

I instinctively pulled it back

Adrian Valemont (MC)

I can carry it.

A corner of his mouth lifted

Lucien Valemont (ML)

I wasn't questioning your strength

Lucien Valemont (ML)

I was trying to be polite

Adrian Valemont (MC)

Sorry

Lucien Valemont (ML)

It's fine

There was a brief pause

Then he smiled—just a little

Lucien Valemont (ML)

You're different from what I imagined

I looked at him

Adrian Valemont (MC)

So are you

For the first time

Neither of us had an answer

Neither of us knew what to make of the other yet

Lucien Valemont (ML)

(Turned toward the staircase)

Lucien Valemont (ML)

Come on

Lucien Valemont (ML)

Your room's on the second floor

I followed him upstairs

Neither of us noticed the thoughtful look Alexander exchanged with Isabella

Or the way Damien quietly exhaled

Or Evelyn whispering to herself

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

Maybe

Evelyn Valemont (MC'S MOM)

There's hope after all
