Then, one night, while Adrian was away on a “business trip,” she opened a locked safe hidden behind a painting in his private office.
Inside were stacks of cash, old documents… and a small velvet box.
Claire opened it.
There was a diamond wedding ring inside.
At first, she thought it was hers.
Then she turned it over.
Two names were engraved inside:
“Adrian & Sophie — Forever.”
Claire stopped breathing.
Sophie was her younger sister.
The same sister who had supposedly died in a car accident eight years earlier.
Claire called Adrian immediately.
He didn’t answer.
So she drove to Sophie’s old apartment, a place that had supposedly been empty for years.
But when Claire reached the building, there was a light on upstairs.
She climbed the stairs and knocked.
For several seconds, nobody answered.
Then the door slowly opened.
Claire nearly collapsed.
Sophie was standing there.
Alive.
And beside her was a little boy who looked exactly like Adrian.
Claire whispered, “What is this?”
Sophie’s face went pale.
Before she could speak, Adrian appeared behind her.
He looked at Claire and said quietly:
“You were never supposed to find them.”
But the biggest shock came seconds later, when the little boy looked at Claire and asked:
“Daddy… is this the other mommy?”
