EVERYONE LIED TO ME
Amelia Rose was having the worst morning of her life. "Amelia! Where is my twenty dollars?" Sophia, her best friend, stood in the kitchen with her hands on her waist. Amelia continued eating her bread. "Money comes and goes, Sophia. Friendship is forever." "Then our friendship is officially bankrupt!" Amelia burst into laughter. At nineteen, Amelia was funny, stubborn and always broke. She lived with her mother in the quiet American town of Rosewood Falls. But that morning, everything changed. A black Mercedes stopped outside their little house. A well-dressed man stepped out and knocked. "Are you Miss Amelia Rose?" "Depends. Are you bringing good news?" He handed her an envelope. "You have inherited a fortune from the late Margaret Blake." Amelia nearly dropped her bread. "Sorry, WHAT?" The letter explained that she had to live in the Blake family mansion for six months to receive her inheritance. Excited, she ran to tell her mother. But Elizabeth's smile disappeared. "Amelia, listen carefully. You must not go to that mansion." "Why, Mom?" Her mother whispered: "Because the Blake family destroyed our lives once before." Amelia froze. What had her mother been hiding? EPISODE 2"I need an explanation, Mom!" Amelia folded her arms, waiting for an answer. Elizabeth sighed. "Some things happened years ago. I was hoping you'd never have to know." "But apparently, I'm inheriting a fortune from these people!" Before Elizabeth could respond, Amelia's phone rang. It was Mr. Anderson, the family lawyer. "Miss Rose, your transportation to the Blake mansion has been arranged. We expect you tomorrow morning." Amelia looked at her mother. "I'm going, Mom. I need to know the truth." The following morning, a black car arrived. After a forty-minute drive, Amelia finally saw the mansion. It was enormous, surrounded by beautiful gardens and tall iron gates. "Wow," she whispered. "Even the house is richer than me." A housekeeper welcomed her inside. "Welcome, Miss Rose. I'm Mrs. Parker." Amelia smiled. "Please call me Amelia. Miss Rose sounds like someone who pays taxes." Suddenly, a deep voice interrupted. "And who invited her?" A handsome young man stood on the staircase, staring directly at Amelia. Mrs. Parker sighed. "That's Ethan Blake." Amelia smiled. "Lovely. I can already tell we're going to be best friends." Ethan rolled his eyes. "Not in this lifetime." TO BE CONTINUED... Episode 3Episode 3: The Boy Who Hated Me Amelia stared at Ethan as he walked down the staircase. "Do you always welcome guests like that?" she asked. "Only the ones who arrive unexpectedly." "Well, excuse me, Your Majesty. I didn't know I needed an appointment to breathe your mansion's air." Mrs. Parker quickly covered her smile. Ethan ignored her and walked towards the dining room. "Your bedroom is upstairs. Don't touch anything that doesn't belong to you." Amelia followed him with a confused expression. "Does your personality come with the house, or were you born like this?" Ethan stopped and turned. "You're going to be a problem." Amelia smiled. "Finally, something we agree on." Later that evening, Amelia explored the mansion and accidentally discovered a locked room at the end of the hallway. Before she could touch the handle, Mrs. Parker appeared. "Miss Amelia! You must never enter that room." "Why?" Mrs. Parker hesitated. "Because it belonged to Margaret Blake." Amelia's heart skipped. "Who was she?" The housekeeper looked around before whispering: "She was the only person in this family who truly loved your mother." Amelia stood speechless. Her mother had never told her that. TO BE CONTINUED... EPISODE 4Amelia couldn't sleep. Mrs. Parker's words kept repeating in her head. Margaret Blake was the only person who truly loved her mother. But why had Elizabeth never mentioned her? At midnight, Amelia quietly left her bedroom and walked towards the locked room. "Just one little look," she whispered. Unfortunately, the floor creaked loudly. "Who's there?" Amelia nearly jumped out of her skin. Ethan appeared behind her, wearing a black T-shirt. "Are you seriously trying to break into my grandmother's room?" "First of all, I'm exploring. Secondly, stop appearing like a ghost!" Ethan sighed and unlocked the door. Inside was an old bedroom filled with photographs, books and dusty furniture. Amelia noticed a picture frame on the table. It showed Margaret standing beside a younger Elizabeth, both smiling. "That's my mother!" Amelia exclaimed. Ethan looked at the photograph, his expression changing. "How do you know her?" Amelia turned towards him. "She's my mother." Ethan went silent. Before either could speak, someone switched on the hallway light. Richard Blake stood at the doorway. His face was furious. "What are you two doing in here?" Then he looked at the photograph. "Get out. Now!" TO BE CONTINUED... EPISODE 5Richard stared at Amelia angrily. "I asked you a question. What are you doing in this room?" Amelia swallowed nervously. "I was looking at the photographs." "Leave!" Ethan stepped forward. "Father, she didn't know." Richard turned towards him. "Stay out of this, Ethan!" Amelia picked up her phone and hurried out. The following morning, she found Richard sitting alone in the garden. "Mr. Blake, can I ask you something?" He looked up. "What?" "Did you know my mother?" Richard remained silent for a moment. "Elizabeth and I were once very close." Amelia's eyes widened. "How close?" "Close enough for her to know things she should never have known." Before Amelia could ask another question, Richard stood up and walked away. Later, while searching for her charger, Amelia discovered a small envelope hidden beneath her bedroom drawer. Her name was written on it. Inside was an old photograph of a baby, accompanied by a short message: "The truth about your birth is not what your mother told you." Amelia's hands began to tremble. Who had written the message? And what exactly was her mother hiding? TO BE CONTINUED... EPISODE 6Amelia stared at the photograph in disbelief. Who was the baby? And why did someone leave such a strange message for her? She immediately called her mother. "Mom, I need you to tell me the truth." Elizabeth sounded nervous. "What happened, sweetheart?" "Who is Margaret Blake, and why does everyone in this house know you?" Silence. "Amelia, please come home. We need to talk." Before Amelia could respond, the call ended. Meanwhile, Ethan entered her bedroom without knocking. "Do you always walk into people's rooms like that?" Amelia complained. "Do you always investigate things that don't concern you?" She showed him the photograph. Ethan's expression changed immediately. "Where did you find this?" "Under my drawer. Do you recognise the baby?" He looked at her seriously. "Amelia, I think you should leave this house." "Excuse me?" "My grandmother left you that inheritance for a reason. And I don't think my father wants you to discover it." Suddenly, Amelia's phone vibrated. It was a message from an unknown number. "Ask your mother who your real father is. You'll understand everything." Amelia slowly lowered her phone. Her entire life had just become a mystery. EPISODE 7Amelia couldn't stop thinking about the mysterious message. Who was her real father? And why was someone warning her about the Blake family? She decided to call the unknown number. It rang twice before someone answered. "Hello?" "Who are you, and what do you know about my father?" A man's voice replied, "Meet me tomorrow at the old coffee shop. Come alone." "Wait! You can't just—" The call ended. "Unbelievable!" Amelia shouted. Ethan, who was passing her bedroom, stopped. "What's wrong with you?" "Nothing. Just planning a peaceful murder." He raised an eyebrow. "Should I be worried?" "Very." The following afternoon, Amelia secretly visited the coffee shop. A man wearing a brown coat was sitting near the window. "Amelia Rose?" he asked. "Depends. Are you another person bringing bad news?" He ignored her joke and placed an old photograph on the table. It showed Elizabeth holding a newborn baby beside a young man. Amelia recognised the man immediately. It was Richard Blake. Her heart began racing. "Who is that baby?" she whispered. The stranger leaned closer. "Amelia, that baby is you." TO BE CONTINUED... EPISODE 8Amelia stared at the photograph, her hands trembling. "Are you saying Richard Blake is my father?" The stranger nodded slowly. "That's what I believe. Your mother was young when everything happened. Margaret helped her keep the truth hidden." "Why would she hide something like that from me?" Amelia whispered. "Because someone threatened her. And if you want the full truth, you must find Margaret's diary. She kept everything inside it." "Where is it?" The stranger leaned closer. "Inside the mansion. But be careful. Richard isn't the only person who knows your secret." Before Amelia could ask another question, the stranger stood up. "Wait! Who are you?" He paused at the door. "Someone who made a promise to your mother." Then he disappeared. Amelia rushed back to the mansion, desperate to find answers. But as she entered the hallway, Ethan stood waiting. "Where have you been?" he asked. "None of your business." He held up her phone. "Your mother has called you seventeen times." Amelia grabbed it, but before she could call back, Ethan spoke again. "Amelia, there's something you should know. My father has been looking for you." "Why?" Ethan's expression changed. "Because he knows you met that man." TO BE CONTINUED... EPISODE 9Amelia stepped closer to Ethan. "What exactly does your father know?" Ethan glanced towards the staircase. "Not here. Come with me." He led her into an empty study and locked the door. "My grandmother left something behind before she died," he explained. "A letter addressed to your mother. My father has been searching for it for years." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Because I didn't trust you." Amelia rolled her eyes. "Well, trust me, the feeling is mutual." Suddenly, Ethan's phone rang. It was his father. "Where is Amelia?" Richard demanded. "She's with me." "Keep her away from Margaret's room!" The call ended. Amelia stared at Ethan. "Margaret's room? What's inside?" Neither spoke. That night, Amelia secretly returned to the locked room. After searching through Margaret's old desk, she discovered a small wooden box. Inside was a letter with her name written across it. She opened it. My dearest Amelia, if you're reading this, then the truth has finally begun to find you. But before she could read further, the bedroom door creaked open. "Put that letter down," a woman's voice whispered. Amelia turned. It was Victoria Blake. EPISODE 10Amelia quickly hid the letter behind her back. "Why should I put it down?" she asked. Victoria closed the door and walked towards her. "Because some truths can destroy everything." Amelia laughed nervously. "Funny. Everyone in this house keeps saying that. Why can't anybody just tell me the truth?" Victoria's expression softened. "Your mother was not the only person who suffered because of what happened years ago." "What happened?" Victoria looked at the letter in Amelia's hand. "Margaret wanted to tell you everything, but Richard stopped her. He was afraid of losing his family." Amelia's heart raced. "Is Richard my father?" Victoria remained silent. That silence was enough to frighten Amelia. Suddenly, footsteps approached the room. Victoria quickly took the letter and whispered, "You didn't get this from me." The door opened. Richard stood there. "Victoria, what are you doing here?" She smiled nervously. "I was just checking on Amelia." Richard looked at Amelia. "Tomorrow morning, you're leaving this house." Amelia stood up. "You can't throw me out!" Richard's face turned cold. "Watch me." As he walked away, Victoria slipped a tiny key into Amelia's palm. "Find the room beneath the staircase," she whispered. "That's where the real truth is hidden." Episode 11Amelia waited until the mansion became quiet before taking the tiny key Victoria had given her. She found a narrow door beneath the staircase. Her heart raced as she unlocked it. Inside was a dusty room filled with old boxes, photographs and documents. "Wow," she whispered. "This family really needs a therapist." She began searching until she found a brown envelope labelled ELIZABETH ROSE. Inside were hospital records, an old birth certificate and a photograph of a young man holding a baby. But the name on the birth certificate shocked her. Father: Daniel Carter. "Who on earth is Daniel Carter?" she whispered. Suddenly, the lights came on. Ethan stood at the entrance. "What are you doing down here?" Amelia held up the certificate. "Apparently, your family isn't the only one with secrets." Ethan took one look at the name and froze. "Where did you get that?" "Do you know him?" Ethan swallowed. "Amelia, Daniel Carter was my mother's first husband." Before Amelia could respond, a loud crash came from upstairs. Then Richard shouted: "WHO OPENED THAT ROOM?" Episode 12Richard rushed downstairs, his face filled with anger. "Get away from those documents!" he ordered. Amelia held the birth certificate tightly. "Who is Daniel Carter?" Richard stopped. "That name has nothing to do with you." "Then why is he listed as my father?" Ethan looked between them, confused. "Dad, what is she talking about?" Richard ignored him. "Amelia, you need to leave this room." "No! I'm tired of everyone treating me like a child." Richard finally spoke. "Daniel Carter was Elizabeth's husband before she met me. He disappeared shortly after you were born." Amelia's eyes widened. "Disappeared? What happened to him?" "Nobody knows." "You're lying!" Amelia shouted. Just then, Victoria appeared at the staircase. "Richard, tell her the truth. Daniel didn't disappear by accident." Everyone turned towards her. Richard's voice dropped. "Victoria, don't." But she continued. "Daniel came back five years ago. He visited Margaret and told her he wanted to meet his daughter." Amelia felt her knees weaken. "Where is he now?" she whispered. Victoria looked directly at her. "He's closer than you think." Episode 13Amelia stared at Victoria. "What do you mean he's closer than I think?" Victoria glanced at Richard, who looked furious. "Daniel is alive," she finally said. Amelia's breath caught. "You've known all this time?" Richard rubbed his forehead. "This conversation is over." "No!" Amelia shouted. "I deserve to know where my father is!" Ethan stepped forward. "Dad, is Daniel Carter really alive?" Richard said nothing. Suddenly, Amelia's phone vibrated. An unknown number had sent her a message. Stop asking questions. Your father is watching you. She showed Ethan. "Who keeps sending me these messages?" she asked. Before he could answer, another message arrived. Look outside the front gate. Amelia rushed to the window. A black car was parked outside. A man stood beside it, holding an old photograph. Amelia recognised him immediately. It was the same man from the coffee shop. Her phone rang. She answered with shaking hands. "Amelia," the stranger said, "I need to tell you something. Richard Blake is not the only person who lied about your birth." Then he paused. "Your mother lied too." EPISODE 15Amelia stood frozen by the window. "Tell me what you mean!" she demanded into the phone. The stranger sighed. "Your mother didn't tell you everything about the night you were born. Meet me tomorrow, and I'll explain." Before Amelia could respond, the call ended. Ethan approached her. "You need to stop meeting that man. We don't know who he is." Amelia turned angrily. "At least he's giving me answers. Unlike everyone in this house!" She rushed upstairs and called her mother. "Mom, is Daniel Carter my father?" Elizabeth went silent. "Please, Mom. Just tell me the truth." Finally, Elizabeth whispered, "No, Amelia. Daniel wasn't your biological father." Amelia felt her heart sink. "Then who is?" Her mother began crying. "Your biological father is someone you have known your entire life." Amelia frowned. "What are you talking about?" Before Elizabeth could answer, the call suddenly disconnected. A few seconds later, a message arrived from Sophia. Amelia, I need to tell you something. I saw your mother with a man yesterday. And you won't believe who he was. Amelia typed back: Who? Sophia replied: Richard Blake. Episode 16Amelia read Sophia's message again. Richard Blake. Her mother's secret meetings with him suddenly made everything feel different. She called Sophia immediately. "Are you absolutely sure it was my mother?" "Amelia, I saw them with my own eyes. They were arguing outside a hotel." "What were they saying?" Sophia hesitated. "I heard your mother say, 'You promised Margaret you would never tell her.'" Amelia's stomach tightened. Before she could ask anything else, someone knocked. It was Ethan. "Can we talk?" he asked. "Not now, Ethan." "It's about your mother." Amelia immediately opened the door. Ethan showed her a photograph on his phone. It was an old picture of Richard holding a baby, with Elizabeth standing beside him. "Why do you have this?" she asked. "Because I found it in my father's study. And there's something written behind it." He zoomed in. Our daughter, Amelia. Amelia stepped backwards. "Your father knew?" Ethan nodded slowly. "Amelia, I think Richard Blake is your biological father." Suddenly, Richard's voice came from behind them. "Then I suppose it's time I told you both the truth." EPISODE 17Richard stood in the doorway, his expression unreadable. "Leave us, Ethan," he ordered. "No," Amelia replied. "He's staying. I'm tired of secrets." Richard sighed and sat down. "Yes, Amelia. I am your biological father." The room fell silent. Amelia's eyes filled with tears. "You knew about me all these years, and you allowed me to grow up believing I had no father?" "I wanted to be part of your life, but Margaret made me promise to stay away." "Why?" Richard looked down. "Because I was married to Victoria, and having another child would have destroyed my family." Amelia shook her head in disbelief. "So you chose your reputation over your daughter?" Richard had no answer. Ethan stepped beside Amelia. "Dad, that's unforgivable." Suddenly, Victoria entered the room holding a small envelope. "Richard, there's something you haven't told them." He turned sharply. "Victoria, don't." She placed the envelope on the table. "Amelia, your mother didn't leave because she wanted to. She was paid to disappear." Amelia stared at her. "Paid by whom?" Victoria looked directly at Richard. "By your own father." EPISODE 18Amelia stared at Victoria. "You're saying my grandfather paid my mother to leave?" Victoria nodded. "Margaret discovered everything and tried to stop him. But he threatened to take you away from Elizabeth." Richard stood up angrily. "That's enough, Victoria!" "No!" Amelia shouted. "I want the whole truth!" Richard finally spoke. "Your grandfather believed Elizabeth was ruining our family. He offered her money to leave town and never contact me again." Amelia's eyes filled with tears. "And you let her go?" "I was young, foolish and afraid." Ethan shook his head. "Dad, how could you?" Before Richard could answer, Amelia's phone rang. It was her mother. "Amelia, please come home. There's something I should have told you years ago." "Mom, why did you lie to me?" Elizabeth began crying. "Because I was protecting you." "From what?" A long silence followed. Then Elizabeth whispered, "Your grandfather is not dead, Amelia." Amelia froze. "What?" "He's alive. And he knows you're in that mansion." The call ended. At that exact moment, the mansion's front doorbell rang. Mrs. Parker rushed into the room. "Mr. Blake, there's an elderly gentleman at the gate. He says he's here to see his granddaughter." Richard's face turned pale. "He's here." EPISODE 19Amelia slowly walked towards the entrance. An elderly man stood outside, dressed in an expensive suit. His silver hair and cold expression made him look intimidating. "Amelia," he said with a smile. "You've grown into a beautiful young woman." "Who are you?" "I'm your grandfather, Edward Rose." Amelia folded her arms. "The grandfather who paid my mother to disappear?" His smile vanished. "I did what I thought was best for this family." "Well, congratulations. You ruined mine!" Ethan stepped forward. "Sir, perhaps you should leave." Edward ignored him and handed Amelia a small box. "Your grandmother wanted you to have this." Amelia opened it. Inside was a gold necklace and a folded letter. She recognised the handwriting immediately. It belonged to Margaret. The letter read: My dear Amelia, if Edward has finally found you, then the time has come to reveal the last secret. The money you inherited was never just an inheritance. It was meant to protect you from the truth about your family. Amelia looked up. "What truth?" Edward's face suddenly changed. "Margaret had no right to leave you that letter." He turned towards Richard. "And you promised me she would never discover what happened to her sister." EPISODE 20Amelia looked from Edward to Richard. "What happened to my grandmother's sister?" Nobody answered. Edward sighed. "Her name was Catherine. She was Margaret's younger sister." "And?" "She disappeared many years ago after discovering a secret about this family." Amelia frowned. "What does that have to do with me?" Edward looked uncomfortable. "Catherine was your biological grandmother on your father's side." Amelia's mouth fell open. "But Margaret was my grandmother too!" "Yes," Edward replied. "Margaret raised you from a distance because she felt guilty about what happened to Catherine." Ethan stepped forward. "Dad, did you know about this?" Richard nodded. Suddenly, Amelia's phone rang. It was Sophia. "Amelia! I found something strange online. There's an old newspaper article about Catherine Rose. It says she had a daughter who disappeared shortly after birth." Amelia's hands began shaking. "What's the daughter's name?" Sophia paused. "Elizabeth Rose." Amelia slowly turned towards the letter. Her mother wasn't just connected to the Blake family. She was Catherine's missing daughter. And that meant Amelia's entire family history was different from what she'd believed. EPISODE 21 Amelia stared at Sophia's message. "Elizabeth Rose is Catherine's daughter?" She turned towards Edward. "Is it true?" Edward slowly nodded. "Your mother was taken away as a baby after Catherine disappeared. Margaret helped raise her, but we were told never to reveal her identity." Amelia's voice trembled. "So my mother was separated from her own family?" "Yes," Edward replied. Elizabeth suddenly appeared at the entrance. "That's enough, Edward!" Amelia rushed towards her. "Mom, why didn't you tell me?" Elizabeth wiped her tears. "I was afraid you'd hate me for keeping everything from you." "How could I hate you? You've been my mother all my life!" They embraced. For the first time, Amelia understood why her mother had always feared the Blake family. But Ethan noticed something strange. "Wait. If Elizabeth is Catherine's daughter, why did Margaret leave everything to Amelia?" Victoria slowly opened another envelope. "Because Margaret knew something none of us knew." She removed a photograph of two baby girls. On the back were two names: ELIZABETH AND VICTORIA. Amelia looked at Victoria in disbelief. "Why are you in a photograph with my mother as a baby?" EPISODE 22 Victoria stared at the photograph in Amelia's hands. "Your mother and I were twins," she finally whispered. Amelia's eyes widened. "Twins? You're saying my mother is your sister?" Victoria nodded, tears filling her eyes. "Catherine gave birth to us, but after she disappeared, Margaret took me in while Elizabeth was raised elsewhere. Edward made sure we never discovered the truth." Elizabeth stepped forward. "I spent my whole life wondering why I never had a family. I never knew I had a sister living in the same town." Victoria reached for her hand. "I'm sorry, Elizabeth. I should have found you." Amelia looked at Edward angrily. "You separated two sisters and made everyone live a lie!" Edward remained silent. Suddenly, Ethan picked up the photograph and noticed something written at the bottom. "Wait. There's another name here." He turned the photograph around. It read: CATHERINE ROSE — MOTHER OF TWO DAUGHTERS. ONE OF THEM KNOWS WHERE THE FAMILY FORTUNE IS HIDDEN. Amelia frowned. "What family fortune?" Edward slowly sat down. "Margaret didn't leave you her money because she felt sorry for you. She left it because she knew you were the only person who could find it." Amelia looked at Ethan. "Please tell me this family doesn't have another secret." Ethan sighed. "Unfortunately, I think it does." EPISODE 23 Amelia crossed her arms. "Where is this fortune, Edward?" Edward shook his head. "I don't know. Margaret hid it before she died." Victoria suddenly remembered something. "Margaret always wore a gold necklace with a tiny key attached to it." Amelia touched the necklace Edward had given her. "Wait. You mean this one?" Everyone stared at her. Ethan carefully examined the necklace and discovered a tiny key hidden inside its pendant. "There's something written here," he said. Amelia leaned closer. THE OLD ROSEWOOD HOUSE. Elizabeth gasped. "That's where Catherine lived before she disappeared." The following morning, Amelia, Ethan and Sophia travelled to the abandoned house. Sophia looked around nervously. "Next time you inherit money, please make sure it doesn't come with a treasure hunt!" Amelia laughed. Inside an old wooden cupboard, they discovered a metal box. The tiny key opened it. There were documents, photographs and a letter. Amelia opened the letter and began reading. "To my dearest Amelia, the fortune belongs to you and your mother. But before you claim it, you must discover what Edward did to Catherine." Suddenly, someone behind them whispered: "Edward didn't make Catherine disappear." They turned around. An elderly woman stood at the doorway. "I did." EPISODE 24Amelia stared at the elderly woman. "Who are you?" The woman slowly stepped inside. "My name is Catherine Rose." Elizabeth covered her mouth. "Mother?" Catherine's eyes filled with tears. "My little girls. I have finally found you." Victoria rushed towards her, crying. Amelia stood speechless. The woman everyone believed had disappeared was standing right in front of them. "Why did you leave?" Elizabeth asked. Catherine sighed. "I never wanted to leave. Edward convinced me that my daughters would be safer without me. He told me your father had arranged everything." Edward suddenly appeared behind them. "That's enough, Catherine!" Everyone turned. Catherine faced him. "You separated my family, Edward. You made me believe my daughters were better off without me." Amelia stepped forward. "Then why come back now?" Catherine held her hands. "Because Margaret discovered the truth before she died. She found proof that Edward had secretly taken control of our family's fortune." Edward's face turned pale. Ethan picked up the documents from the box. "Wait. There's a signature here." He looked at Amelia. "The fortune was never Edward's. It belongs to you, Elizabeth and Victoria." Amelia slowly smiled. "For once, someone in this family is finally telling the truth." Episode 25Six months later, the Blake mansion no longer felt like a place filled with secrets. Edward had finally admitted his wrongdoing and signed over the family's fortune. Elizabeth, Victoria and Catherine were slowly rebuilding the relationship they had lost. Amelia stood in the garden, smiling as Sophia adjusted her dress. "Look at you! Rich, beautiful and still single. What exactly are you waiting for?" Sophia teased. Amelia laughed. "Please, I'm enjoying my peace." Ethan walked towards them, holding two glasses of juice. "Are you still planning to run away from me?" Amelia raised an eyebrow. "Depends. Are you still arrogant?" "Only around you." They laughed. Later that evening, Ethan took Amelia to the old rose garden. "I know your life has been full of surprises," he said. "But I hope I can be one of the good ones." Amelia smiled. "You already are." He gently held her hand. For the first time, Amelia felt she belonged somewhere without having to prove herself. She had discovered the truth, reunited her family and found love in the most unexpected place Episode 26 Three weeks after Catherine's return, Amelia thought her family had finally found peace. But peace never lasted long in the Rosewood family. One afternoon, Mrs. Parker approached Amelia with a small envelope. "Miss Amelia, someone left this for you at the gate." Amelia opened it. There was no name, only one sentence: You celebrated too early. The real heir is still missing. Her smile disappeared. She immediately called Ethan. "Please tell me you know something about a missing heir." Ethan frowned. "What are you talking about?" She showed him the letter. Before he could respond, Catherine entered the room. "Where did you get that?" "Someone left it for me. Who is the missing heir?" Catherine sat down slowly. "Years ago, before I disappeared, I gave birth to another child. A boy." Amelia stared at her. "Another child? You never mentioned that!" Catherine began to cry. "I was told he died shortly after birth. But Margaret once told me she never believed that story." Ethan picked up the envelope again. "Then someone knows he's alive." Amelia looked at her grandmother. "Do you think he's still out there?" Catherine nodded. "Yes, Amelia. And I believe someone in this mansion knows where he is." Episode 27Amelia gathered everyone in the living room. "Nobody is leaving until we discover who knows about Catherine's missing son." Mrs. Parker, who had been quietly standing near the door, suddenly began crying. Everyone turned towards her. "I'm sorry," she whispered. "I know where the boy is." Catherine stood up. "What?" Mrs. Parker explained that Margaret had secretly arranged for the baby to be adopted by a kind family after Edward threatened to take him away. She had kept the adoption records hidden to protect him. With the documents, they finally found him. His name was Daniel. When Daniel arrived at the mansion, Catherine broke down in tears. She held his face gently, unable to believe she had finally found her son. Elizabeth and Victoria welcomed their brother with open arms. Even Edward, who had caused so much pain, finally apologised and accepted responsibility for his actions. Months passed. The family slowly healed. Every secret being revealed every heart being healed Almost everyone but at least the truth finally found it way home And for the first time the Rosewood family had nothing to hide Ethan walked beside her "still think everyone lied to you?he asked Amelia smiled Now she has a family,and people who loves her.
