Jasmine slowly closed the folder. Tears fell silently, a wave of profound sorrow washing over her.

Her father really had loved her deeply. Everything he had done for her was done in secret, without ever ultering a

word.

“However…” Benjamin paused, recalling an incident from a few weeks prior. “Strangely enough, your mother came to see me recently to ask about a will. I’m not sure how she found out he had left one with us, but thankfully, our staff maintained that no such document existed and managed to turn her away. Once this will is made public, I doubt she will let it go. She will likely tear this family apart and take you to court to fight for the estate. You should prepare yourself. Even though these assets were in your father’s name, they still count as marital property, and I highly doubt your mother will sit idly by.”

Jasmine felt entirely numb. Her relationship with Eleanor was already beyond repair.

“There is one more thing your father left for you,” Benjamin said, opening another envelope. This time, he pulled out a flash drive. “Inside are some words your father wanted to share with you… including the truth about your birth.”

The moment Jasmine got home, she locked herself in her bedroom. She plugged the flash drive into her laptop, taking a long moment to steady her breathing before she finally forced herself to click open the video file.

Arthur’s face appeared on the screen. It was clearly recorded quite some time ago, and he looked just as warm and gentle as she remembered.

The moment he spoke the words, “My dearest daughter,” Jasmine pressed a hand over her mouth and burst into tears. He was the only family member who had ever truly loved her, and now they were separated by death. From now on, she would only have her memories.

“Jasmine, my dearest daughter, Arthur said on screen. “If you are watching this, it means I am no longer in this world. Please don’t be sad. Even though I am gone, my heart will always be with you. I will be looking down on you from heaven, watching my beautiful girl find happiness, and praying that you live a safe. healthy, and peaceful life. Jasmine, I am leaving this video because I want to tell you the truth about your birth-something you have always wanted to know. But I am so afraid. I am terrified that once you hear it, you will hate me. Yet, even if you do hate me and never find it in your heart to forgive me, I must tell you who you really are. It is the very last thing I can do for you. We always told you that we adopted you from an orphanage, but that wasn’t true. We lied to you. You weren’t adopted from any orphanage. The shameful truth is that we stole you, tricking someone to take you away.”

In front of the computer, Jasmine recoiled in shock. She hit the pause button, unable to keep listening. She was terrified of hearing something she couldn’t accept, terrified that she might actually grow to hate the father who had been her sole emotional anchor.

God knows how much time passed before she finally lifted her head from the desk. Taking a deep. steadying breath, she hit play.

Arthur’s voice grew heavy on the recording.

“Years ago, an astrologer told us that we were never destined to have a biological son. But they also

mentioned a baby girl whose fate was deeply intertwined with our future family. If we took her in, this girl would somehow guide us toward the son we were meant to have. Eleanor believed this blindly From that moment on, she began searching everywhere for a girl who matched the prophecy. But the world is a massive place, and finding a child with absolutely no clues to go on was next to impossible. Until… you were born in that hospital. What looked like a coincidence was actually entirely orchestrated. Your biological mother had met Eleanor by chance, and over time, she came to view Eleanor as a sister. confiding in her completely. Your birth was a difficult one, leaving your biological mother incredibly weak. On top of that, your biological father was missing, which left her profoundly depressed and suffering fror severe postpartum depression. It was then that Eleanor realized you perfectly matched every single trait the astrologer had described. Eleanor tried to convince your biological mother to let us raise you, but the refused, point-blank. Even in the depths of her depression, she never would have hurt you; she cherished you above everything else. Seeing that persuasion wouldn’t work, Eleanor let her greed take over. She…

The man on the screen paused for a few seconds, seemingly trying to compose himself, before speaking again.
