Denied

Amber POV

The courtroom remained frozen.

Alexander Vincent stood with the same calm expression, as though he had merely asked for a glass of water instead of a DNA comparison involving my children.

The judge adjusted his glasses.

“Mr. Vincent, please explain the relevance of your request.”

Alexander inclined his head politely.

“Certainly, Your Honor.”

He looked toward Mr. Soly. 1

“The laboratories have already established that Mr. Soly shares distant genetic markers with the children.”

He folded his hands behind his back.

“My family has had business and social relationships with the Soly family for generations.”

“It is entirely possible that I share similar distant markers.”

He smiled faintly.

“A comparison with my DNA could simply help explain the unexpected result.”

His explanation sounded perfectly reasonable.

Too reasonable.

That was what frightened me.

I stood before anyone else could answer.

“My children are not a public research project.”

Every camera immediately turned toward me.

“They are not samples to be compared against anyone who walks into this courtroom hoping for a match.”

I stepped closer to Jason.

“They are my children.”

“I will not expose them to that kind of theater.”

The room fell silent.

Alexander looked at me for several long seconds.

Then, unexpectedly, he smiled.

“If the children are off limits…”

His eyes settled on me.

“…perhaps you would be willing to take the test instead.”

Confused murmurs spread through the courtroom.

Several reporters exchanged puzzled looks.

One whispered,

“Amber?”

I frowned.

“What?”

Alexander remained perfectly composed.

“A comparison with your DNA.”

I almost laughed.

“No.”

The answer came without hesitation.

“They’re my children.”

“I don’t need a DNA test to know that.”

I placed one hand over my stomach.

“Even if they weren’t mine by blood…”

“They would still be my children.”

Alexander studied me carefully.

“That may be true today.”

His voice remained calm.

“But what about a few months from now?”

The room became silent again.

“When your twins are born…”

He glanced briefly toward my growing belly.

“… will you still feel exactly the same?”

His words hit me like a slap.

He wasn’t questioning biology.

He was questioning my heart.

Before I could answer, a small voice echoed across the courtroom.

“I know the answer.”

Everyone turned.

Alice slowly stepped away from Jason.

She looked directly at Alexander.

“Mama already told us.”

Her tiny chin lifted proudly.

“When the babies come…”

“…Alex and I will be big brother and big sister.”

She smiled.

“And we’ll have two more people to love.”

Silence.

“They won’t replace us.”

“Mama said families don’t get smaller when babies are born.”

“They get bigger.”

My vision blurred.

I hadn’t realized tears had filled my eyes.

Jason quietly wiped one away before anyone else noticed.

Even several reporters lowered their cameras.

Alexander didn’t reply.

He simply watched Alice.

The judge finally cleared his throat.

“Regarding the request…”

He looked directly at Alexander.

“The children are minors.”

“They have legal guardians.”

“Without the consent of Mr. and Mrs. Sun…”

“No additional DNA testing involving the children will be authorized.”

He struck the gavel once.

“Request denied.”

Alexander gave a polite nod.

“I understand.”

There was no anger.

disappointment.

Only patience.

That frightened me even more.

The hearing adjourned shortly afterward.

Reporters hurried outside to file their stories.

Lawyers gathered their documents.

The courtroom slowly emptied.

Jason and I stayed close to the children while our security team formed a circle around us.

As we walked toward the exit, Alexander remained standing where he was.

He wasn’t looking at me anymore.

He was watching Alex.

His expression had changed.

It wasn’t certainty.

It wasn’t recognition.

It was… familiarity.

Just as we reached the doorway, I heard him speak.

So quietly I wasn’t even sure he intended anyone else to hear.

He looks like my younger brother.”

I froze.

Jason froze beside me.

Neither of us turned around.

We simply tightened our hold on Alice and Alex’s hands and kept walking.

Because if Alexander Vincent had noticed the resemblance…

It was only a matter of time before he started asking the right questions.

A magic door

Amber POV

Alexander Vincent’s appearance haunted me the entire flight home.

It wasn’t simply that he had appeared.

It was where he had appeared.

River City.

No one had informed us he had entered the country.

No customs alert.

No intelligence report.

No warning from the President.

Nothing.

One moment we were waiting for the DNA results…

The next, Alexander Vincent was standing in the courtroom.

If he could move that quietly…

How many other places could he already be?

I looked out the airplane window.

Only when the familiar coastline of Sum came into view did I finally release the breath I’d been holding.

Jason noticed immediately.

“You feel safer.”

“A little.”

He intertwined his fingers with mine.

“So do I.”

Neither of us said it aloud.

We had escaped River City as quickly as possible.

For now…

Home was still the safest place we had.

The castle gates opened just as our cars entered the grounds.

Before they had even stopped, two familiar figures came running across the courtyard.

“Iris!”

Rose shouted first.

“No!”

Alice laughed.

“That’s Iris!”

She pointed toward Rose.

“And that’s Rose!”

The girls burst into laughter as all four children collided in one enormous hug.

Alex, who had barely spoken during the flight, smiled for the first time all day.

Seeing that tiny smile eased something inside my chest.

Maybe…

Just maybe…

They were beginning to feel safe again.

That feeling lasted all of thirty seconds.

Alice suddenly gasped dramatically.

“I almost forgot!”

Everyone looked at her.

She clapped her hands excitedly.

“It’s time to open the magic door!”

Rose blinked.

“The magic door?”

Alice nodded enthusiastically.

“The hidden one!”

“The kitchen door!”

“The map!”

Alex’s eyes widened.

“Oh!”

“I forgot too.”

Jason laughed softly.

“I think we’re the only people in this family who have no idea what conversation we’re having.”

I couldn’t help smiling.

“The hidden passage.”

Mrs. Sun, who had joined us in the entrance hall, immediately became interested.

The one beneath the castle?”

I nodded.

“When we found the old map.”

I looked toward the children.

“They named it the magic door.”

“Because it only opens with a secret code.”

Alice crossed her arms proudly.

“It is magical.”

No one argued with her.

An hour later, our entire family stood inside the old castle kitchen.

The ancient stone wall looked exactly as it had the first time Jason and I discovered it.

Only now…

Everyone was here.

Marcus.

Mrs. and Mr. Sun.

Grandfather Asher.

Pamela.

Even Professor Vance had come after hearing what we planned.

Jason looked at the symbols carved into the hidden mechanism.

“So…”
