Daniel left the ballroom with the boys and opened the flash drive in his private office.
The files contained archived emails.
Account logs.
Messages.
And one recorded conversation.
Victoria’s voice was unmistakable.
She discussed keeping Claire away until Daniel’s inheritance was secure.
Daniel listened without moving.
The boys sat quietly beside him.
When the recording ended, the younger twin asked.
Are you really our dad?
Daniel looked at them.
For the first time, the money, the gala, and the company meant nothing.
He crouched in front of both boys.
I think I am.
The older boy asked.
Are you angry at us?
Daniel’s expression broke.
No.
Never.
He pulled them both into his arms.
Outside the office, Victoria waited with security nearby.
Daniel finally walked out.
He handed the flash drive to his attorney.
Preserve everything.
Victoria stared at him.
Daniel.
Please.
He shook his head.
You took years from us.
Now the truth gets every one of them back.
