“This is my woman’s photo album…” On his way to the office, Alexander had forgotten to bring Ana’s childhood photo album.

His hand slowly opened the album, and he smiled as he saw how adorable Ana looked as a child.

“So adorable. If I and my Ana have a daughter, I want her to be as beautiful as her.” Alexander whispered softly.

He kept flipping through the album until finally…

The car had stopped at the company lobby.

“Boss, we’ve arrived.” His men driving that morning spoke, but there was no response from Alexander at all.

“Boss?”

His men looked confused, then glanced through the car mirror and saw his boss’s shocked expression.

“This is…”
“My old home…” Alexander said in confusion, seeing several people he recognized standing in front of his former house.

The servants who used to take care of the orphanage, and also the security guard of the orphanage that once belonged to his father.

THUMP THUMP THUMP

Alexander’s heart thundered, his face turned pale, his head spun, and his hands trembled violently.

“What is actually going on? Why is this photo here?!” Alexander growled, feeling dizzy again.

He remembered when he was little, there was a beautiful woman, the younger sister of a maid in his residence, who helped take care of the orphanage and became pregnant after being assaulted by someone whose name she couldn’t speak.

The woman’s name was Camelia Anastasya, the younger sister of Catherine Allia, who was the wife of Julius, the orphanage caretaker.

Alexander remembered that Elena’s father’s name was not Julius. When he investigated Anastasya before, he remembered there was no Julius listed there.

He also didn’t see Julius’s photo because at that time Alexander felt it wasn’t important.

Bzzz—Bzzz—Bzzz

Just as the facts truly shocked him, a phone call came in, and when he looked, it was Kennedy Harold.

“Alexander…”
“Sorry to contact you so suddenly, I finally found out…”
“I just received a report from someone inside the government about files that were actually going to be erased, and everything is clear now…”

“Back then your father never said who was actually chasing him and threatening his life, and I didn’t ask because I didn’t want to get dragged in…”

“But it seems my suspicion was right…”
“Morgan Regis. He used to be very close to your father, and he is one of the elites who controls the government in this country, and the one who helped build his name back then was your father…”

“Using your father’s newspaper company, which at that time was the most trusted newspaper, your father helped Morgan build a positive political image, and eventually he won…”

“And from the files I found, there was a report from your father’s company about Eden Corporation being the mastermind behind the economic collapse decades ago. Eden Corporation was also responsible for massacres of many civilians to build factories and so on…”

“And Eden Corporation belongs to the family of Morgan Regis’s wife. His wife has died, and now the company is run by a puppet created by Morgan Regis to deceive the public.”

“It seems your father sent all the files and evidence he found to the government secretariat because he thought this report would stop Morgan Regis, but your father was wrong, and…”

Kennedy Harold fell silent. He knew the person connected to Abraham Kingston’s death was not ordinary, which was why he had once been reluctant to help.

But he never expected it to be Morgan Regis. The files he found in the government’s secret archives showed that Abraham Kingston had all the evidence that Morgan Regis was a monster.

Alexander let out a heavy breath, his eyes closing briefly, then he quickly ended the call with Kennedy Harold.

“To the headquarters now!” Alexander ordered, placing the photo album down and calling Freddie to handle the company for now.

With his chest pounding and his breath heavy, he finally remembered something…

When Alexander was little, he liked visiting Camelia Anastasya, the young woman who often screamed and hit her stomach.

“Ahh! YOU Devil’s child, demon child! Why are you growing inside my stomach! We’d better die together if I can’t abort you!” Camelia cried while hitting her stomach.

She had tied a rope to a tree near the forest of Alexander’s residence. Her hands trembled as she cried intensely.

At that time Alexander was about to go to his small base on the hill and saw Camelia hitting her stomach.

“Hmm?”

Alexander ran closer and innocently asked Camelia…

“Auntie, why are you hitting your own stomach?”
Alexander asked, standing beside her. He saw the rope tied to the tree, and Camelia said nothing, only crying.

“Mom said you’re pregnant, right?” Alexander asked again, making Camelia nod slightly.

Alexander smiled and looked up. “Ummm, I often get annoyed with my little sister Anya too. She cries and whines a lot, but I’m happy she exists because she’s very cute…”

“Your baby will be very cute too, so don’t hit the cute baby again, Auntie.” Alexander said innocently.

Camelia smiled bitterly. With a pale face, she looked up at the sky…

“A child like you is so innocent, and since I can’t tell this to anyone, let me tell you… You’ll forget it anyway…”

“I don’t want this child. This child is a bringer of misfortune. I was supposed to marry the man I love, but suddenly my lover had an accident and died…”

“As if my life wasn’t miserable enough, that man… that bastard raped me… His name is Morgan!”

“That bastard threatened me—if I dared to tell anyone, he would kill my older sister and everyone around me…”

“Hic…”

Camelia collapsed onto the grass under the tree, then hit her stomach again.

“I’m suffering so much. If only there wasn’t a baby in my stomach, I wouldn’t be this miserable…” Camelia sobbed.

Alexander didn’t really understand at that time, and he forgot the name mentioned for a very long time.

But Alexander remembered speaking sincerely…

“Auntie, I promise when your baby is born, I’ll take care of them. If you can’t take care of them, I will, just like I take care of Anya. I also have other siblings, Kai, Sin, Eddie, so I won’t be overwhelmed…”

“I’ll also buy gifts for you and your baby, so you won’t feel lonely and mad anymore. Mom says getting gifts can make your heart happy.” Alexander said, making Camelia smile while tears streamed down her face.

She didn’t speak for a moment, then… “You’re so kind. This baby will surely hear and come to claim your promise one day, because I won’t be able to raise this baby…”

Camelia sobbed heavily. Alexander became even more confused, so he ran to call Kai and the others to comfort Camelia, but when they returned, Camelia was gone.

…

The memory suddenly filled Alexander’s head. His body trembled violently and his face turned very pale.

“That can’t be…”
“It can’t be that Ana is…”

“Yes, this must all be a coincidence…” Alexander trembled. He didn’t remember his conversation with Camelia because his trauma caused his memories to overlap. To suppress his trauma, Alexander sometimes deliberately forgot many things, and it became a habit.

Somehow, the red thread connecting him to Anastasya began to appear clearly.

The reason why they had to meet was because there was a secret that had to be revealed and blood seeking justice.

…

As Alexander headed to headquarters, Rex had already managed to capture Ana, who was unconscious in the car seat.

At first Rex wanted to eliminate Ana without Morgan Regis knowing, but after discovering Ana was connected to the Raymond family and had an extraordinarily close relationship with Alexander De Graham,
he canceled his intention.

He followed Morgan Regis’s order to bring Ana to the cruise ship that would soon set sail, for reasons unknown…
