🧩 CHAPTER 2 — “The Hidden Past”
The scene shifted to a quieter room behind the banquet hall.
The tension was no longer loud—it was suffocating.
The husband finally sat down, unable to stand anymore. The wealthy woman remained standing, but her posture had changed… less powerful, more fragile.
The server placed the folded paper on the table.
It contained an old hospital record.
Server (soft, controlled):
“My mother worked here years ago… she said she fell in love with a man who disappeared after she became pregnant.”
Silence.
The husband closed his eyes.
A long pause.
Then he spoke.
Husband (low voice):
“I never knew…”
The wealthy woman turned sharply.
Wealthy Woman:
“What do you mean you never knew?”
The husband finally looked at her.
Not with guilt—but with shock.
Husband:
“I had a twin brother.”
The room went silent again.
Husband (continuing):
“He left the family years ago. No one knows where he went.”
The server’s eyes widened slightly.
The photograph trembled in her hands.
