Chapter 1 - The Wedding Scandal
The royal wedding hall fell completely silent as tiny Noah walked alone across the enormous marble floor in his cream tuxedo.
At the end of the aisle, three glamorous women in shimmering white dresses knelt down with fake smiles and open arms.
They were desperate to become the future wife of billionaire Alexander Sterling.
"Come here, sweetheart," they cooed sweetly in unison.
The wealthy guests watched closely because whoever Noah chose would inherit everything.
But the little boy suddenly stopped walking.
He stared at the elegant women for a long moment before quietly turning around.
The ballroom erupted in harsh, confused whispers.
Instead of approaching the wealthy bridesmaids, Noah slowly walked toward the back of the hall.
A trembling maid named Evelyn stood there holding a silver tray with tears already forming in her eyes.
She tried stepping back in absolute panic.
But the little boy kept coming closer.
Then, in front of the entire elite family, he wrapped his tiny arms around the maid and buried his face into her shoulder.
And with one heartbreaking whisper, the entire ballroom froze.
"Mommy."
Eleanor Sterling, the ruthless matriarch of the family, slammed her champagne glass onto a table.
"Security, get that filthy woman away from my grandson right now!" she screamed.
Two massive guards rushed forward and grabbed Evelyn by her fragile shoulders.
The silver tray crashed to the floor, sending crystal glasses shattering everywhere.
Noah began to wail hysterically, clinging to Evelyn's cheap uniform apron.
"Don't hurt him!" Evelyn cried out, trying to shield the boy from the aggressive guards.
Suddenly, a deep and commanding voice echoed through the chaotic room.
"Take your hands off her."
Alexander Sterling stepped down from the altar, his dark eyes blazing with dangerous fury.
He walked through the parted crowd and stared down at the trembling maid.
He did not look at the angry bridesmaids or his furious mother.
"Bring her to my private office immediately," Alexander ordered his head of security.
Eleanor gasped in pure outrage.
"Alexander, you cannot be serious about bringing a servant into our inner circle!" she yelled.

Alexander ignored his mother and leaned in close to Evelyn's ear.
"If I find out you manipulated my son, I will destroy you," he whispered coldly.
