Chapter 31 - Receiving a mysterious medical envelope from an anonymous Swiss laboratory that reveals an unheard secret about the original quadruplet birth.
As the family dinner winded down, Julian’s private secretary delivered an urgent courier envelope marked with a Geneva medical seal.
Julian opened the thick parchment document in his private study, his eyes widening in absolute shock as he read the translation.
The confidential document from the Swiss fertility clinic where Eleanor had secretly attempted genetic selection twenty years ago read clearly:
"The original embryo splitting was not a natural event; a fifth identical embryo was preserved and successfully brought to term in Zurich."
Julian dropped the paper onto his mahogany desk, his breath catching in his throat as his smartphone chimed with a incoming video call.
On the screen flashed an unknown Swiss number, displaying the live video feed of a twenty-year-old young man wearing a black suit.
The young man looked directly into the camera with the exact same face, hair, and eyes as Leo, Toby, Sam, and Ben.

"Hello, Father... I think it's time we finally met," the young man said in a soft European accent, holding up a faded photograph.
Julian stood frozen in absolute disbelief, realizing that the story of his secret children was far from over.
