Chapter 2 - The Stolen Bloodline

Amidst the chaos, a senior family elder reached toward the middle of the table, his trembling fingers sliding the official laboratory document out of the crumpled envelope. Alongside the paper lay a small glass vial containing a crimson blood sample, sealed with a sterile silver cap.

Across the front of the official forensic certificate, bold red lettering read: DNA Analysis - Vincent Moretti - 99.9% Match. Paternal Bloodline Confirmed.

The elder dropped the paper as if it had burned his skin, his mouth agape as he whispered into the silent room. "A Moretti bloodline heir... after twelve years?"

Twelve years ago, after a tragic ambush that claimed his elder brother's life, Vincent was secretly told by the family’s trusted medical board that he was completely infertile due to nerve damage from a gunshot wound. For over a decade, Vincent believed he could never father a child—a tragic fact that made his position as family head vulnerable to internal challenges.

To maintain peace and secure a political alliance, Vincent had entered into a strict, two-year secret marital contract with Emma Carter, a gentle botanist whose family owed a massive debt to the Moretti trust. The contract strictly forbade emotional attachment, personal intimacy, and permanent family claims.

Vincent looked down at the blood test vial resting on the marble, his mind racing as the dark truth crashed over him like an avalanche.
