CHAPTER 1 — "The Child Who Walked Into a Million-Dollar Wedding"
No one expected the wedding of billionaire heir Adrian Cross to end in absolute chaos.
The ballroom sparkled with crystal chandeliers, expensive flowers, and guests worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Cameras flashed as Adrian stood at the altar beside the woman everyone believed was the love of his life.
Everything was perfect.
Until the massive wooden doors slowly opened.
An elderly woman stepped inside, her face pale with fear. Beside her walked a little girl no older than seven. The child's white dress was stained with fresh blood around one knee, and she clutched an old stuffed rabbit so tightly that her tiny hands trembled.
At first, the guests assumed she had wandered into the wrong wedding.
Then the little girl stopped in the middle of the aisle.
Her eyes locked onto Adrian.
The smile instantly disappeared from his face.
For the first time that day...
He looked terrified.
Whispers spread across the room.
"Does he know that child?"
"Why did he suddenly turn pale?"
The bride frowned, confused.
"Adrian... who are they?"
Before he could answer, the elderly woman whispered,
"We tried to stay away... but she insisted she had to see you today."
The little girl slowly reached into her small backpack.
Everyone thought she was about to pull out a toy.
Instead...
She carefully unfolded an old photograph.
It showed Adrian...
Standing beside a young pregnant woman.
The date printed in the corner was from eight years ago.
The ballroom fell silent.
Adrian immediately rushed forward.
"Take that picture away!"
His voice cracked with panic.
But it was already too late.
Every guest had seen it.
The bride looked from the photograph to Adrian, then back to the frightened little girl.
"What exactly is going on?"
No one noticed Adrian secretly signaling one of his security guards.
He didn't want the child removed because she was interrupting the wedding.
He wanted her gone...

Before she could say the one thing that would destroy everything.
