When Anna stepped into their grand home, holding her newborn in trembling arms, she expected something—anything—from Sergey. A smile, a tear, even awkward silence.
But she never expected this.
Sergey Alexandrovich didn’t even flinch.
He leaned back in his leather chair, sipped from his glass, and stared at the child like it was some kind of burden.
“Who is this supposed to be?” he asked flatly.
She blinked, stunned. “Our son…”
He scoffed. “Our?”
Then he stood up and looked at the baby more closely.
“Brown eyes. Curly hair. He looks nothing like me. You expect me to believe this is mine?”
Anna’s lips quivered. “I carried him for nine months, Sergey. You knew—”
He cut her off.
“No. I don’t know anything anymore. For all I know, you were never loyal. This isn’t my son.”
And with that, he did the unthinkable.
He opened the door.
“Leave. Now.”
The world outside was freezing. But the chill in her heart was worse.
No money. No help. No one to call.
Just her, her child… and the weight of betrayal.
But Anna was stronger than anyone realized.
Over the next few years, she raised her son alone.
She worked nights, studied during naps, and built a small but stable life. Her son, Luca, grew into a bright, kind little boy — one who had Sergey’s sharp jawline and his exact crooked smile.
It was undeniable.
Still, Anna never contacted Sergey again.
Until fate stepped in.
One afternoon, Anna got a call from a major hospital.
A rare medical condition had struck Luca — one that required a genetic match from a biological parent.
She had already given everything she could.
But Luca needed his father.
So, for the first time in years, she walked back into Sergey’s life.
And when he saw them, he froze.
Luca stood beside her, a mirror of Sergey at that age.
His mouth opened, but no words came.
She handed him the medical file and simply said,
“He needs you now. Not as a millionaire. Not as a man. But as a father.”
The test confirmed what everyone could now see.
100% his son.
Sergey didn’t speak at first. He just stared at the paper… then at Luca.
Then he whispered, “I was wrong.”
But the truth hit harder than he ever expected.
Because Anna? She had a second document in her bag.
Not legal papers.
Not medical files.
A letter. From Sergey’s own father.
It revealed something even Sergey never knew:
He himself had been adopted.
The Alexandrovich bloodline?
It wasn’t what he thought it was.
Everything he clung to — legacy, pride, name — was built on an illusion.
But the boy he had once rejected?
He was the only real legacy that mattered now.
