"Wait, there’s a misunderstanding! I'm an orphan!" Mia blurted out, then bit her lip, realizing she had been mistaken about her family being from Paris. "That's not true. You are my daughter," Camille interrupted, her voice trembling with emotion. Seeing Mia's expression grow more confused, Camille took a deep breath and began to recount the entire story of how they lost her just after birth. Mia listened intently, struggling to believe that fate could have been so cruel to her from the very beginning. Yet, as she listened, she felt an undeniable connection with Lady Camille and believed every word she said. "I was in so much trauma," Camille continued, her voice heavy with sorrow. "We lost you and your father at the same time. But Alexander and I searched tirelessly for you, trying every possible way to find you. All our efforts led to dead ends. But today, all our prayers have been answered. God has brought my daughter back to me, along with two beautiful grandchildren," she said with a tearful smile, hugging Gia and Maximo close to her. Tears of joy streamed down her face as she looked at them. "But... but you said the DNA test was negative," Mia murmured, her heart sinking in dismay. "Yeah, it was negative. But my heart never believed it. Science can be wrong, but my heart and gut feeling can't be deceived. You are my sister. I feel the blood bond between us. I don’t care about anything else," Alexander declared firmly, determination etched on his face. "Language, Alexander," Camille scolded, narrowing her eyes at her son. Alexander glanced apologetically at the kids and rubbed his nape with an awkward smile. "I'm sorry, Mother. I'm sorry, kids. Now that I have a beautiful niece and a smart nephew, I'm going to prove to you that I can be the best uncle," he promised, making the kids smile. "Our uncle is a duke!" Maximo grinned with pride. "Yes, little man. Come to my estate, and you'll be treated like a prince and princess. I'll make up for all the years I lost not being with you," he mumbled, his voice tinged with remorse. "Let bygones be bygones," his mother declared. "It's time to celebrate! Call the press and hold a conference to announce that the daughter of the Montecarlo family has returned," Camille demanded, excitement twinkling in her eyes. She could hardly contain her exhilaration, eager to shower her daughter and grandchildren with all the love she had. "No. Mom. Not yet," he interjected firmly. "We need to be very secretive and careful until the paperwork is finalized. Adeline was abducted because of the will, and she won't be safe until the entire property is transferred to her name. We must wait to disclose this to the public." His tone grew more serious. "And please, don't trust your so-called well-wishing relatives this time. I beg you! No information passes to anyone—absolutely no one. Is that clear?" he commanded strictly. Camille didn't argue. She had her daughter back, and nothing mattered more than the safety of her daughter and grandchildren. No one else was more important to her now. Mia was overwhelmed by the love she was receiving from her brother and mother. They had accepted her without any proof and seemed so sure that she was the lost daughter of the Montecarlo family. It was as if she had always believed she was cursed to live alone, having lived her whole life without the love and care of a family. But now, with Gia and Maximo, she finally experienced all the phases she had missed in her life. However, she couldn't deny that she had always felt a connection with Alexander and had wished a hundred times for a brother like him. She never imagined that her wish could come true so soon. "You're not afraid that I could be an imposter?" Mia choked on her words, overwhelmed by emotion. "No way. Even if the whole world says it, we're not going to believe it and never going to let you go. Adeline, or Mia..." Alexander hesitated with a forgiving smile. "Ah, I don't even know what to call you." They had named her Adeline even before her birth, knowing she was going to be a girl, and they were thrilled to have chosen the name. "Whatever we call her, she's your sister," Camille said, settling the matter. "Yeah, that's true. She is my little sister," Alexander said, his expression turning playful as he added, "Then I'll call you petite sœur." Mia giggled, shaking her head, remembering how he used to tease her like this all the time, as he had accepted her as his petite sœur long ago. They arrived at the Duke's estate in Monaco. Gia and Maximo were thrilled to live in a castle-like manor for the first time. Their duke uncle spared no effort in spoiling them, wanting to pamper them with everything he could to make them happy. Mia was overjoyed to have finally found her family. It seemed her difficult days were over, and now she would never have to rely on anyone else. She called Emily and told her everything about her lost family and being the heiress to an ancestral empire. Emily assured her that she was managing the business in Paris, allowing Mia to relax and spend time with her family to make up for all those lost years. However, Mia knew that no amount of time would ever be enough to fully cherish this newfound life with her family. Alexander conducted the DNA test discreetly this time, without even telling his mother, though he informed Mia and asked her to keep it confidential. The results came back quickly, as he used his influence to expedite the process. The result was a 99.9% match, providing enough proof to officially make her the heiress of the Montecarlo family's ancient empire. He then properly handed over everything that belonged to her, though Mia insisted she didn't need it and that he should keep it, given that he had been managing everything for so many years. But Alexander reassured her that it was always hers, and he would continue to take care of her and her children, standing by her whenever she needed her brother, no matter what.
