THE HEIRESS UNMASKED
The news exploded like wildfire.
"WYNN MEDIA CEO IS THE LOST HEIRESS!"
"ELARA WYNN—BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET DAUGHTER!"
Phones rang nonstop.
Cameras gathered outside the apartment building.
Lucien pulled the curtains shut.
"This is getting out of control."
Elara stared at her phone, overwhelmed.
"I never asked for this."

Public Chaos
At Wynn Media Group, employees whispered.
"So she was rich all along?"
"No wonder she succeeded."
"Was it all a setup?"
Elara's chest tightened.
"They think I used my father's name," she whispered to Lucien.
"You didn't even know," he reminded her firmly.
"Don't let them rewrite your story."

Serena's Breakdown
In prison, Serena smashed her food tray against the wall.
"She stole my life!" she screamed.
"First my husband, now my identity!"
The guards dragged her away as she kicked and cursed.

Ethan's Offer
Ethan met Elara privately.
"I want you to move into the Wynn estate," he said.
"You deserve the protection."
Elara shook her head.
"This life… it's not mine."
Lucien squeezed her hand.
"She built everything herself."
Ethan nodded sadly.
"You're stronger than I imagined."

A Dark Warning
That night, Elara received a message.
Unknown: "Blood doesn't change who you are. Watch your back."
Her heart raced.
"Lucien… someone's watching us again."
His face darkened.
"Serena has friends."

Choosing Her Path
Elara stood by the window.
"I don't want to be defined by money or names."
Lucien smiled.
"That's why I love you."
She turned to him.
"I choose my own future.
With you. With our child."
He kissed her forehead gently.
"Then we fight for it."
