Chapter 6 - The Albright BloodlineThe truth destroyed everything.
Connor's father had secretly preserved genetic material before undergoing medical treatment years earlier.
Marcus had accessed the records.
Paige had been recruited.
The twins had been conceived using that material.
They were genetically connected to the Albright family.
But they were not Connor's sons.
That distinction mattered legally.
And financially.
Marcus had planned to use the twins to challenge the ownership structure of Albright Apex.
But there was one problem.
Me.
My fifty-one percent voting control.
As long as I remained alive and mentally competent, Marcus couldn't seize the company.
So he needed Connor.
He manipulated him.
He encouraged the affair.
He promised Paige protection.
And he convinced Beatrice that the twins were the solution.
Connor finally admitted everything.
“I was weak.”
I looked at him.
“Yes.”
“I thought I could control it.”
“You couldn't.”
“No.”
He looked at the twins.
“I destroyed everything.”
I nodded.
“You did.”
“Can you ever forgive me?”
“I don't know.”
He accepted that.
For the first time, I saw genuine remorse.
Not fear.
Not guilt over money.
Remorse.
But remorse didn't erase consequences.
I filed for divorce.
The news became public.
The Albright family name appeared across every major financial publication.
Investors panicked.
Shares dropped.
Competitors circled.
But my legal team stabilized the company.
And then I did something unexpected.
I refused to abandon the twins.
They were innocent.
I arranged professional care.
Paige entered a legal protection program.
Connor voluntarily stepped away from management.
Beatrice lost control of the family trust.
Marcus was arrested.
But there was still one mystery.
Who had preserved Connor's father's genetic material?
