The legal side of things

Amber POV

The Soly family’s statement spread across the country before we even landed back in Sum.

It wasn’t aggressive.

It wasn’t accusatory.

That was what made it so effective.

An elderly couple stood together in front of their home, visibly emotional as cameras surrounded them.

The man spoke first.

“We recently learned that our late son had children.”

His voice trembled.

“We didn’t know.”

“We didn’t even know he had married.”

The woman wiped away tears.

“Nicolas left home many years ago after a disagreement.”

“We chose another heir for the Soly family.”

“He left…”

“…and never came back.”

She looked directly into the camera.

“We didn’t know he had died.”

“We didn’t know we had grandchildren.”

The couple joined hands.

“We’re not asking for revenge.”

“We’re asking for a chance.”

“We only wish to meet Alice and Alex.”

The interview ended.

An hour later…

Their lawyers filed an official petition requesting visitation rights and temporary custody while the family relationship was investigated.

The internet exploded.

For the first time in weeks…

People weren’t talking about the Vincents.

1/5

They were talking about grandparents.

some sympathized with the elderly couple.

They lost their son and never knew he had children.

They deserve to know their grandchildren.

Others immediately defended us.

Where were they all these years?

Jason and Amber are the children’s parents.

They adopted them legally.

The debate quickly became vicious.

One legal commentator argued,

“Legally, biological grandparents may possess standing in some circumstances.”

Another immediately responded,

“But adoption fundamentally changes the legal relationship.”

Then came the comments that worried me the most.

Jason is only their cousin.

Blood grandparents should come first.

I closed my tablet.

I couldn’t read another word.

By the time we reached the castle…

The children were already waiting.

Alice saw us first.

She ran straight toward me.

Alex followed only a second later.

Neither of them smiled.

Alex reached us first.

His eyes were already full of tears.

“Mama…”

I immediately knelt.

He threw both arms around my neck.

Alice hugged Jason just as tightly.

Neither child wanted to let go.

Alex’s voice barely rose above a whisper.

“They’re not going to take us away…”

“…right?”

My heart shattered.

I pulled him closer.

“Who told you that?” 1

“I heard people talking.”

Alice buried her face against Jason’s shoulder.

“We don’t want to leave.”

“We want to stay here.”

Jason crouched beside us.

He gently placed one hand on Alex’s shoulder and the other on Alice’s.

“Listen to me.”

Both children looked at him.

“You are our children.”

“No matter what anyone says.”

“No matter what anyone asks.”

“We love you.”

“And we are not giving you away.”

Alex finally began crying openly.

“I don’t want another family.”

“I already have one.”

Jason hugged him immediately.

“You do.”

“And nothing is changing that.”

I held both children while they cried.

Only after they had calmed down enough to go inside with Rose and Iris did Jason and I remain standing in the courtyard.

Neither of us spoke for a long time.

Finally, I broke the silence.

“If this reaches court…”

son looked at me.

The judge will almost certainly order a paternity test.”

He nodded slowly.

“They’ll have to confirm the Solys are really the biological grandparents before considering any claim.”

I took a slow breath.

“And that’s exactly where everything changes.”

Jason’s expression sharpened.

I continued.

“If the children’s father wasn’t really Nicolas Soly…”

“…but Nikolay Vincent using Nicolas’s identity…”

“…then those two people aren’t Alice and Alex’s biological grandparents.”

The realization settled between us.

Legally…

Their entire claim depended on proving Nicolas Soly was the children’s father.

If he wasn’t…

Then the foundation of their case collapsed.

Jason slowly smiled.

“For once…”

“The truth works in our favor.”

I nodded.

“But proving it…”

I looked toward the castle where the children had disappeared inside.

“…could reveal something we’re trying desperately to keep hidden.”

We both knew exactly what that secret was.

If the court discovered the children’s real father was Nikolay Vincent…

Then someone else…

Would learn it too.

And Alexander Vincent could never be allowed to know that Alice and Alex were his brother’s children.

Jason remained silent, thinking through every possible consequence.

Then I looked at him.

have an idea.”

He turned toward me.

“What is it?”

“We make a public statement.”

His eyebrows rose slightly.

“We tell the truth…”

“…or at least the truth everyone already believes.”

He waited for me to continue.
