Chapter 2 - The Seven-Year Darkness
Seven years ago, Sophia Holloway—the cherished daughter of billionaire industrialist Jonathan Holloway—had suffered a severe car accident shortly after marrying Julian Vance. The trauma left her completely blind, forcing her to rely entirely on Julian to navigate her daily life and manage her immense inherited estate.
During those seven years, Julian presented himself to the world as a saintly, devoted husband who sacrificed everything to care for his disabled wife.
In reality, the mansion was a gilded cage. Julian systematically isolated Sophia from her powerful father, intercepting phone calls and convincing Jonathan that Sophia was too mentally fragile to see visitors.
To tighten his grip on the Holloway family fortune, Julian announced six years ago that Sophia had given birth to a son, Leo, while she was undergoing specialized medical treatment in private seclusion.
Because of her total blindness, Sophia relied entirely on touch, sound, and Julian's words. She loved Leo fiercely, believing with all her heart that he was the baby boy she had carried.
However, over the past few months, subtle doubts began to fester in Sophia's mind.
Leo showed zero affection toward her, often mocking her blindness when Julian was out of the room. Furthermore, the boy's facial structure and habits bore an unsettling resemblance to Victoria—Julian's glamorous personal assistant who lived in the guest house.
