Chapter 7
“We don’t know how you could just disappear, said grandpa Ke Jeremiah IX, an old man who still looks handsome and dashing at the age of 67. “Apparently, because you weren’t injurl, you got out of the car and walked on your ow
“This must be a prank!”
The man smiled broadly, as did the other man, who was standing behind him in a straight and alert manner.
“Leo, no one would dare to deceive an heiress to the Jeremiah fignily, the man said softly. It even took us almost whole years to our life to trace your footsteps until we confirmed that you were the person we had been looking for
“I don’t understand what you mean, sir. How could I be the heiress of the Jeremiah family? I was an orphan and lived in Madam Marry’s orphanage since childhood,” I said warily. “This is too stranget And you, who exactly are you?”
“I am your twin brother. My name is Jayden Varin Jeremiah XI, said the Inan calmly. He looked at the man behind him. “He is Denzel Sadrin, our grandfather’s personal assistant.”
The man named Denzel nodded his head respectfully to me.
I massaged my forehead. My head suddenly felt sore, because of all the strange information that came at once.
“Mr Jayden, whoever you are, I think you should just leave before I call the police,” I said fiercely. “I didn’t believe all your words. This is too strange!”
I couldn’t just believe these two men in front of me because they were strangers and the information they said completely unreasonable.
The man named Jayden laughed and at that moment I realized that the way he laughed was exactly the same as me. His eyes narrowed and his lips curved into an are, that’s how people describe the way I laugh.
I was stunned and it seemed Jayden saw my confusion.
“You can call Mrs. Marry and ask her about all this, if you still don’t believe it,” Jayden said softly, “We got all the information about you from her.”
I thought hard, remembering what Mrs. Marry, my adoptive mother at the orphanage before. Hearing what she said and how Jayden interacted on the phone with her, I didn’t think it was possible that the two men in front of me were criminals who wanted to trick me. They put in too much effort to deceive me, who is a nobody.
“What do you guys want?” I asked carefully,
“Come with us to our house and you will get an explanation of this whole situation,” Jayden answered. “We have so much to talk about.”
I stare at him and I see the truth in his eyes, so I decided to follow my curiosity and follow them.
“Wait here, I’ll change clothes,” I said sternly. “Stay still! Don’t come in or I’ll press the alarm and the police will come right away!”
Jayden laughed and raised both hands up. He then got into the car.
“Take
our time freely. I’ll wait,” he said lightly.
I changed clothes quickly and put the pepper spray and taser in my bag. I also sent Chaty the two men and their car numbers.

The car I got into was absolutely amazing. The interior of the luxury car uses shades of brown and cream with warm wood motifs. This must be a special and limited edition and the price, I can’t imagine how expensive it is.
“Where are we going?” I asked Jayden who was sitting in the front seat next to Denzel, as driver.
Chapter 6
“Our house. Your house Jayden said softly, “Grandpa is waiting for us there.”
“I don’t understand, how can I be the granddaughter of Kent Jeremiah IX? I muttered, more to myself. “Even in dreams, my imagination doesn’t go that far,”
“This isnt a dream, Leo. We’ve known about you since two year ago,” said Jayde
“Two years ago?” I asked confused. And why have you only come now
“Because, we want you to live your life according to your wishes At that time, your wish was to be with your ex–husband and we couldn’t interfere because you would definitely reject us immediately. We needed to take into account many things to approach you,” explained Jayden. “Until then, we just continue to collect evidence and witnesses to strengthen the data about you, so that when we finally meet you, you can trust us completely.”
I was speechless when I heard Jayden’s words. If it’s true that I’m part of the famous Jeremiah noble family, they certainly won’t act carelessly and deep inside me, I’m starting to believe Jayden’s words.
The car driven by Denzel drove towards the outskirts of the city and entered the Green Hills area, where only a few luxury mansions and villas filled it.
After a while, the car entered a large and sturdy gate, leading to a very magnificent mansion in the middle of a green field and beautiful gardens around it.
My eyes couldn’t blink at the mansion, as well as its stunning surroundings.
Peter bought a big and beautiful house after his career progressed, but I think it was only one tenth the size of the mansion In front of me.
Denzel stopped the car in front of a circular courtyard that surrounded a beautiful decorative pool with a stone statue of two small children pouring water into the pool.
I was stunned. That stone statue, I think I’ve seen it somewhere, but I forget where and when.
Jayden got out of the car and opened the passenger door, then reached out his hand to me.
“Come on down, Leo. This is our home. Where we were born and raised, at least until you were three years old, before you lost,” said Jayden.
I put my hand in Jayden’s open hand and walked with him into the mansion.
Without realizing it, I squeezed his hand, when the mansion door opened and behind the door, on the right and left sides, were lined up with several men and women in uniforms combining dark blue and yellow. They all bowed respectfully towards us, as Jayden took my hand inside.
“Welcome back, Ms. Leora,” everyone said in unison. Everyone smiled kindly at me.
I nodded awkwardly and embarrassedly and walked closer to Jayden. The man chuckled and tightened his grip on me. “They are all household staff at J mansion, Jayden said in a calming tone. “Everyone has been waiting for you, Leo
“mansion?” I asked.
“Yes. This mansion was built by the first Jeremiah about 500 years ago and from then until now, it has been continuously renovated until it has the form it has now. The original building is immortalized in photographs which are placed in the museum on the north side of this mansion,” said Jayden.
“Museum inside the mansion?” I asked in amazement,
ts, two medium–sized halls, one main hall, a
“Yes. Not only that. This mansion also has a cinema with a capacity of 100 seats,

golf course, a mini zoo, a swimming pool with a play area, an indoor tennis court, a sports area and gymnasium, and a library. You might need a month to explore it. I’ll take you later Jayden said with a smile.
Jeez, I muttered.
The Jeremiah noble family is a name that means unlimited weath, famous, and large companies that have branches almost all over the world, in fact, as far as I know, the company where Peter works is also part of the parent company of the Jeremiah group
How can I be part of this luxurious and magnificent life?
“Am L… Going to stay here?” I was confused. I feel like the contents of my brain are now turning into a confusing blurry picture.
Jayden squeezed my hand. “Of course, sis, you’re Jeremiah.”
“But–
“Don’t be afraid. You will soon get the answer to whatever is confusing your smart brain.”
Jayden took me to a large door and opened the heavy looking door, opening into a room full of books.
A white–haired man stood at the end of the large room, in front of a large table. He smiled with his arms spread wide.
I gasped. That white–haired man, the same as the old man in my dream!

, while. your parents were trapped in the car until it caught fire.”
My heart constricted with feelings of sadness and hurt. “Where was Jayden at that time?” I asked.
Jayden didn’t come with you all, because at that time he had a fever and your grandmother forbade your mother to take Tum. She took care of Jayden herself while you all were away, sil Grandpa Kent in an even tone.
“When the search team arrived at the location, the car you were i was already on fire and it was no longer possible to save your parent, while no trace of you could be found at all,” added Denzel with a gloomy face. “I personally led the search at that time. Not just once, but we walked through that area many nes
“Is…” I swallowed hard. “Was it an accident or….
Grandpa Kent sighed and this time his face turned very gloomy
“It’s very unfortunate, it was a single accident. It looks like your father was sleepy and hit the road divider until his car overturned and the gas tank leaked,” said Grandpa Kent quietly. I’m very sorry for asking your parents to go to the conference invitation, even though previously your father had just returned from the Maldives to take care of investment matters and hadn’t had enough rest.
“The investigation into the accident was finally closed after two years,” said Denzel. “The police decided to close the ease and we continued the investigation ourselves. Until finally, two years ago, your traces began to appear.”
“We investigated all orphanages, hospitals, clinics, even homeless care homes throughout the country, but to no avail. No one knows about your whereabouts and the police even believe that you died because you fell into a ravine,” said Grandpa Kent. Again. The area where the accident occurred was a street outside the bustling city flanked by hills on one side and deep ravines on the other.”
“How did you guys find me? After more than twenty years?” I asked confused
“I saw you accidentally, at a supermarket near your house,” said Jayden. “It just so happens that the owner of the supermarket is my friend.
“You recognize me?” I asked confused. “We were only two or three years old when we separated, right?”
“That’s called blood ties,” said Jayden in a satisfied tone. I saw you smile and laugh, at that moment my heart immediately started beating fast. We have a unique way of smiling and laughing, similar to the way our father and grandpa did. Not only that, you also have two moles above your right eyebrow. Look, having it on my left eyebrow. It’s our trademark.”
I looked at Jayden’s left eyebrow and found two moles that were the same as the ones I had above my right eyebrow,
“I really can’t believe it,” I muttered. This is even more astonishing than just a dream.”
“After seeing you at that time, I immediately focused my investigation on you and slowly many facts began to emerge, until finally I met Mrs. Marry, your adoptive mother, Jayden continued.
“Mom Marry said she found me in the bushes, when she was looking for her fallen lighter, on her way out of town. She took me to the nearest small clinic and recognized me as her child. She then took me to her house and looked after me with the children another stray he saved,” you said continuing my side of the story. “We often moved because Mom Marry was poor and didn’t have enough money to buy a permanent house.”
Kent stroked my hair gently. This is a miracle and in the end, it is not yet time for our family to lose a precious heiress, that even after decades, we can meet again.”

Chapter 7
I lay down on my grandpa Kent’s shoulder, feeling the scent of fs soft and warm perfume, pine and woody I didn’t feel awkward towards him at all, even when he first hugged me, there was only a feeling of surprise, but then I just felt comfortable, as if I had rediscovered something familiar and Torbe lost.
“It’s a shame that your grandmother couldn’t see that you had returned She was so sad and had been sick ever since that incident, until finally her body gave in to the sadness and dequit she felt, said Grandpa Kent in a trembling voice,
I stared at a photo of a beautiful middle–aged woman on the wall in front of me. Eleanor Kent Jeremiah IX. I think, when I’m the same age as her in that photo, I’ll probably look similar to her.
Next to Grandma Eleanor’s photo is a photo of my parents, ine and Jayden as the babies. We smiled in the photo and my tears dripped down my cheeks.
“I never expected things to be like this,” I said sobbing. “Ever since Mom Marry told me how I was found by her, I thought that maybe my parents didn’t want me so they left me where I was found. Moreover, Mom Marry showered me with love and attention, so I didn’t feel deprived.”
“I found a note that Mrs. Marry had searched for information about you, but I think because of her limitations, she didn’t continue the search either,” said Denzel
“You’ve known about me for two years, but why are you only meeting me now?” I asked.
“I sent my adopted son to look after you and he said that you looked happy with your husband, so I thought not to disturb you now. I was worried that you would reject us and to be honest, I was worried that your husband would become dependent on you or even take advantage of you, if he found out your true identity,” said Grandpa Kent with a frown.
Your adopted son?” My eyebrows suddenly furrowed. “Do I know him?”
“You know who he is, but you probably don’t know him very well said Grandpa Kent with a smile. “He’ll be here soon, after his business is finished.
After that, many other stories flowed, filling various gaps during the years I was separated from my family. I was more stunned, shocked and cried, in the arms of Grandpa Kent and Jayden that whole day. This is magical experience for me.
Everything was so unexpected and unreal to

“Master Kent, Lunch is ready and served,” said a staff member while we were still talking.
Grandpa Kent and Jayden took me into the dining room and while Jayden was pulling a chair for me, someone entered the dining room.
“Ah, looks like I haven’t missed lunch with the newly found princess,” said the person who entered the room.
I was stunned. The voice seemed familiar. I looked back and was stunned.
“You?”
“Hi, princess.”
