I watched with my own eyes as she and Isaac lived like a married couple—feeding each other in the morning and entwined in passion at night. 

I remembered once, years ago, when Isaac carried a drunken Samantha home. 

Jealousy clawed at me, and I glared at her accusingly. 

Samantha slapped me hard across the face. “Isaac and I are just friends! Only someone with a dirty mind sees filth in everything!” 

But friends wouldn’t share a bed or kiss each other so passionately. 

Now, under the warm yellow light of the living room, Samantha carefully laid out Isaac’s suit for the next day. She was just like a dutiful wife. 

That used to be my job. Before every formal event, I’d select her dresses, coordinate her jewelry, and ensure every detail was perfect. 

She’d scoff at me, disdain heavy in her voice. “Only a poor country boy would know these tricks to serve others. You’re nothing like the heir of the Henderson family. You’re more like a servant!” 

And yet here she was, doing exactly that for Isaac. So, this was the difference between love and indifference. 

Isaac took her hands and kissed them tenderly. 

Samantha closed her eyes and let out a soft moan. 

“Isaac, I’ll go with you to the Henderson residence tomorrow. You’re the true Henderson heir. No one can harm you. I’ll stand by your side as you reclaim everything that’s rightfully yours.” 

Upon hearing Samantha’s words, Isaac wore an expression I couldn’t quite understand. 

I suddenly remembered something. 

For over two decades, the world knew Isaac as the Henderson family’s only son. 

Then came the day I, the true heir, was brought back from the countryside. Seeing me all covered in rural charm, my parents, Lewis Henderson and Elsie Green, were filled with disappointment. They almost couldn’t believe I was their real son. 

Isaac had left the Henderson residence that day with a suitcase behind him. “Mom, Dad, even though I’m not related to you by blood, after spending so many years at the Henderson residence, I’ve long considered myself part of the Henderson family.”
