Heirs

Amber POV

Every answer we uncovered seemed to create two new questions.

The only way forward was to stop guessing.

We needed to know what had happened to the real Nicolas Soly.

I spent the next three days buried inside my study.

Government archives.

University records.

Immigration databases.

Old newspapers.

Private investigation reports.

Anything that mentioned either Nicolas Soly or Nikolay Vincent.

Most of the information had been erased or buried beneath decades of newer records, but eventually, a timeline began to emerge.

I called Jason into the study.

“I found something.”

He walked over carrying two cups of coffee.

“What did you find?”

I pointed at the screen.

“Nikolay Vincent and Nicolas Soly knew each other long before Nicolas supposedly married your cousin.”

Jason leaned closer.

“They were friends?”

I nodded.

“Close friends.”

“They attended an international leadership program together.”

“They studied abroad at the same university.”

I opened an old photograph from the university archives.

Two young men stood side by side, smiling at the camera.

One was unmistakably Nikolay Vincent.

The other matched every verified photograph of the real Nicolas Soly.

“They were inseparable,” I said quietly.

Jason studied the picture.

when Nikolay was cast out by the Vincents…”

“He went to Nicolas.”

I nodded.

“According to immigration records, they both remained overseas for almost two years.”

I changed to the next file.

“And then…”

“The trail ends.”

“No departure records.”

“No financial transactions.”

“No housing records.”

“It was as if both men disappeared.”

Jason frowned.

“One came back.”

I looked at him.

“The man everyone believed was Nicolas.”

“But whether that was really Nicolas…”

“…or already Nikolay…”

“We still don’t know.”

The missing years remained a complete blank.

Another folder caught my attention.

John Soly.

The older brother.

The man who had inherited everything.

I opened the file.

The deeper I read, the more disturbed I became.

“This wasn’t just a family disagreement.”

Jason looked over my shoulder.

“What do you mean?”

I turned the monitor toward him.

“There was a campaign.”

What campaign?”

“To destroy Nicolas.”

The evidence wasn’t enough to prosecute anyone after so many years.

But there was a clear pattern.

Anonymous articles questioning Nicolas’s integrity.

Complaints filed with universities.

Letters sent to scholarship committees.

Rumors that spread through academic circles.

Every accusation claimed the same thing.

That Nicolas Soly had stolen other students’ work.

That he had plagiarized engineering projects.

That his awards were fraudulent.

Jason’s jaw tightened.

“Was any of it true?”

I shook my head.

“I found the university investigation.”

“They cleared him.”

“Every accusation was proven false.”

“But by then…”

“The damage had already been done.”

His reputation had been ruined.

Another document appeared.

An old engagement announcement.

Nicolas Soly.

Engaged.

Three months later…

A wedding announcement.

The bride…

Marrying John Soly instead.

Jason looked at me in disbelief.

de stole his brother’s fiancée?”

“It certainly looks that way.”

The timeline fit perfectly.

First…

John inherited the family.

Then Nicolas’s reputation collapsed.

Then his fiancée left him.

Then Nicolas disappeared overseas.

Jason leaned back in his chair.

“He didn’t just force his brother out.”

“He erased his life.”

I quietly nodded.

“It was systematic.”

“It almost reads like someone wanted Nicolas to disappear.”

A notification appeared on my tablet.

Legal Documents Received.

I opened them immediately.

My stomach tightened.

“The Solys.”

Jason walked around the desk.

“What now?”

I handed him the papers.

The Soly family had formally petitioned the court.

Not merely for visitation.

They were requesting that Alice and Alex reside with them while the custody proceedings were pending.

Jason’s expression darkened.

“Their reasoning?”

I scanned the filing.

“They state they have no surviving heirs.”

“They argue that preserving the Soly family lineage requires the children to live within the Soly household.”

topped reading.

Then looked at another attachment.

A confidential medical record.

John Soly.

Diagnosis…

Permanent infertility.

I looked at Jason.

“John is sterile.”

Everything suddenly made sense.

The lawsuit.

The sudden affection.

The desperate urgency.

It had never been about reconnecting with grandchildren.

The Soly family was dying.

Their bloodline ended with John.

And now…

They wanted Alice and Alex to become the heirs they could never have.

Jason folded the papers slowly.

“They’re not fighting because they loved Nicolas.”

His voice was cold.

“They’re fighting because they need successors.”

I looked out the study window toward the gardens, where Alice and Alex were chasing Rose and Iris across the lawn.

To the Soly….

The children were an inheritance.

A legacy.

A solution to a family with no future.

To us…

They were simply our son and daughter.

And that was a battle we had no intention of losing.

Turned our hand

Forced our hand

Amber POV

The Solys had forced our hand.

Jason and I had hoped to resolve everything quietly, but every hour the rumors grew louder.

By morning, every news channel was asking the same question.

Who did Alice and Alex really belong to?

Jason looked at me across the breakfast table.

“It’s time.”

I nodded.

“We control the narrative before someone else does.”

That afternoon, the Sun Corporation auditorium was once again filled with reporters.

This time, the atmosphere was completely different.

There were no questions about the company.

No questions about Jason’s recovery.

Everyone wanted to know about the children.

Jason stepped behind the podium while I stood beside Mrs. Sun.

He didn’t waste time.

“Thank you for coming.”

“I would like to address the ongoing legal dispute regarding my children, Alice and Alex.”

The cameras immediately began flashing.

Jason remained calm.

“First, I want to clarify one point.”

“Alice and Alex are my cousin’s children.”

“They were legally adopted by my wife and me.”

“They are our son and daughter.”

He paused before continuing.

“Second…”

“The children are not biologically related to the Soly family.”

The room erupted into whispers.

Jason raised a hand for silence.

“The man known publicly as Nicolas Soly was medically unable to father biological children.”

For that reason, the Soly family has no biological claim over Alice and Alex.”

Questions immediately began flying through the room.

Jason ignored them.

“We have documentary evidence supporting this statement.”

He stepped away from the podium.

Mrs. Sun walked forward carrying a folder.

Her voice was steady.

“Several years ago, Lisa and Nicolas left written instructions with the family’s attorney.”

She held up certified copies of the letters.

“These documents clearly state their wishes.”

“They requested that their children remain with the Sun family should anything happen to them.” 1
