A pregnant woman discovered a wallet near her husband’s gravestone. When she opened it, she was paralyzed by what she saw inside…

As for Lauren, police caught her just in time at Philadelphia International Airport, trying to flee the country. During questioning, it emerged she was a serial poisoner. As Arthur and Julia suspected, she’d committed multiple crimes beyond her attempt on Oliver, including Victor Thompson’s murder. Lauren gained men’s trust, often posing as a fiancée, then poisoned them with a potent toxin supplied by her chemist brother, who also helped launder the stolen money into Swiss accounts, leaving no trace.

Lauren, like Susan and Oliver, would face justice, spending her life not in luxury but in a cramped cell. When Lauren’s crimes came to light, Arthur worked tirelessly to clear Julia’s name. He succeeded in having all charges against her dropped, restoring her reputation to a clean slate.

Julia’s joy was indescribable when she learned she was free of the “ex-con” label. She thanked Arthur with all her heart. She continued working at his home, helping with household tasks until it was time to give birth. Unfortunately, without access to ultrasounds in prison, Julia didn’t know she was carrying twins. The delivery was grueling, but she persevered, giving life to two healthy boys. She named them Anthony and Vincent, after her grandfathers on both sides.

Arthur happily supported the new mother during her hospital recovery, bringing supplies for her and the babies. One day, just before her discharge, he noticed identical birthmarks on the right side of both boys’ bodies. He had the exact same mark, same shape and size. Knowing it couldn’t be a coincidence, he ventured, “What was the name of your second fiancé, the guard at the prison?”

“Daniel,” Julia replied, surprised. “Why?” “Julia, this might sound odd,” Arthur began, hesitant, “but can I run a DNA test on the boys? I think I might be related to them.” Julia, rocking her twins in bed, froze at the strange request. “Why would you think that?” she asked, bewildered.

“Well, I grew up in an orphanage until I was five,” he explained. “I barely remember it because I was adopted quickly, but these birthmarks—they’re unique to a family…”

Stunned, Julia agreed to the DNA test, but the results left her baffled. Arthur was indeed related to her sons, closely—possibly as a cousin. Arthur hired two private investigators to dig into his childhood, and a month later, they delivered shocking news. Arthur was the biological brother of Daniel, the guard who’d once planned a life with Julia.

The brothers had been separated as young children due to their neglectful mother, who chose to raise only Daniel, abandoning Arthur at a Philadelphia orphanage, where he lived until adopted by the Stevens family. Over time, as Julia settled into Arthur’s home, the two began exploring a relationship.

It wasn’t a fiery passion but a deep, steadfast bond. Arthur admired Julia’s courage and selflessness, easily picturing her as his wife. Julia was endlessly grateful for all he’d done for her and her sons, whom Arthur, as their uncle, promptly adopted…
