Silence lingered until Arthur finally found his voice. Only now did he start to comprehend the gravity of what he’d learned; his wife belonged to a family more extraordinary than he had ever imagined.

Arthur spoke cautiously.

“Elliana, did Maxine tell you whose daughter your mother was? Who were Rita’s parents?”

Composed and steady, Elliana replied, “She told me my grandfather is Edgar, who once led the Thompson family. My grandmother is Elsie Prescott, the physicist known all over the world.”

At the mention of Edgar and Elsie, Cole, Arthur, and Milton inhaled sharply at the same time.

The Thompson family included a vast network of daughters, with even distant relatives wielding influence around the globe. But the daughter of the family’s leader stood at the very peak. To realize that Rita was Edgar’s child was nothing short of astounding. The title of princess barely did her justice; she was all but royalty.

No other family head had commanded as much respect as Edgar; his influence rivaled that of entire nations.

Edgar stood at the very peak of global influence, a man whose name echoed in every corner of the world. Yet, despite his countless achievements, the story that truly captured hearts was his love story with his wife, Elsie.

Elsie was a wonder of her own—one of the few women in the world to make a name in physics. She was beautiful, brilliant, and bold—so much so that people called her the brightest mind alive. Her discoveries had reshaped modern aerospace, launching humanity into a new age and securing her place among the legends of science.

In his younger days, Edgar had turned down countless admirers. None of them had mattered to him. His eyes had been set only on Elsie—drawn not just to her beauty, but to her dazzling mind. To win her heart, he had thrown himself into her world, learning the language of physics just to stand by her side. Though his accomplishments never matched hers, he had become her loudest supporter and fiercest fan.

When the head of the world’s most powerful clan married a brilliant scientist, it became the wedding of the century. The ceremony was broadcast across the globe—a living fairy tale for millions to see.

For years, their love had been the gold standard—they were the couple everyone dreamed of becoming.

Throughout their marriage, Edgar had remained faithful—his reputation spotless, his devotion unshakable. With his love as her anchor, Elsie had continued to make even greater breakthroughs after their marriage.

When Edgar turned sixty, he passed his empire to his son, Kaleb. In the years that followed, the couple faded from the public eye. The world assumed they had chosen peace and privacy. No one knew they had once lost a daughter.
