Chapter 4 - The Escape from the Gilded Cage
Five years ago, Luca Vance was not just any young man; he was the sole legal successor to Vance Global Logistics, one of the most ruthless transportation conglomerates in North America. Controlled with an iron fist by Wendy Vance, the family operated on cutthroat ambition, cold manipulation, and forced political marriages.
When Luca refused to marry the daughter of a corrupt state senator chosen by Wendy, his mother stripped him of his access, monitored his phone, and threatened to destroy the small art studio he had secretly invested in. Realizing his mother cared only for power and lineage, Luca faked his disappearance, wiped his digital footprint, and fled to a quiet coastal town under a simple alias.
There, he met Jessi—a hardworking, warm-hearted high school teacher who loved him for his kindness, not his fortune. They married in a simple courthouse ceremony with two witnesses, building a modest, happy life together.
For four years, Luca believed he had escaped the shadow of the Vance surname forever. But he had forgotten one crucial detail: every direct blood descendant of the Vance family for four generations was born with the exact same birthmark around their left eye.
