The name echoed in Elara's mind all day.
Lucian Vale.
Even Maya recognized it instantly.
"You mean the Lucian Vale?" Maya whispered.
"The billionaire?"
"Elara, that guy basically built half the global tech infrastructure."
Elara remained calm.
"That makes him even more suspicious."
Maya leaned closer.
"You're not actually going to meet him… right?"
Elara looked out the window.
The same question had been repeating in her head all morning.
Why would someone like Lucian Vale care about her?
But the message still haunted her.
If you want the truth about your family…
Finally she spoke.
"Yes."
Maya nearly choked.
"You're serious?!"
Elara nodded slowly.
"I need answers."
