Chapter 2: The Whisper That Changed Everything
The groom, Daniel, finally stepped forward.
"Claire..."
"What is this?"
The bride looked into his eyes.

"She's your little sister."
Daniel blinked.
"No..."
"My sister died."
Claire shook her head.
"No."
"Your father only told you she did."
The ballroom erupted into confused whispers.
Margaret's face turned ghostly white.
"Stop talking."
Claire ignored her.

The frightened little girl carried only one possession.
A faded silver locket.
Inside...
A photograph.

The other half showed a teenage boy.
Daniel.
DNA testing had confirmed the impossible.
Emma shared the same father.
