Chapter 31 - Receiving an unexpected wax sealed letter from London revealing a living twin sister thought to have perished inside a private hospital decades ago right now.
At midnight, while a quiet summer rain fell over the estate gardens, William reviewed late-night international courier deliveries inside his study.
Among the corporate mail was a heavy wax-sealed envelope made of parchment paper, bearing an official crest from a private estate in London.
William broke the red wax seal, revealing a faded hospital birth certificate from Aspen, Colorado, dated twenty-eight years ago.
The certificate listed twin daughters born to Eleanor Sterling: the first named Maya, and the second named Violet.
Pinned to the document was an old black-and-white photograph showing two identical baby girls wrapped in hospital blankets.
Tucked inside was a handwritten note written in dark ink that made William's breath catch in his throat.

"Mr. Sterling, Sarah Vance did not act alone in Aspen; she hid Violet with a wealthy family in England, and Violet is looking for Maya tonight..."
Suddenly, William's private satellite phone rang loudly on his desk, displaying an unlisted international caller ID from London.
