He wanted Richard to marry a wealthy woman and inherit the family fortune without interference.</p><p><br/></p><p>After Mercy was born, Mr. Williams arranged for Richard to be sent abroad. He then made Richard believe that Elizabeth and their baby had died.</p><p><br/></p><p>Elizabeth, on the other hand, was told that Richard had abandoned her.</p><p><br/></p><p>One night, someone secretly took baby Mercy away from Elizabeth. Heartbroken, Elizabeth searched everywhere for her daughter.</p><p><br/></p><p>Days later, a mysterious woman returned Mercy to her and warned her never to reveal what had happened.</p><p><br/></p><p>Terrified of losing her daughter again, Elizabeth kept the incident a secret and raised Mercy herself.</p><p><br/></p><p>For seventeen years, Mercy lived with her mother, believing her father was dead.</p><p><br/></p><p>But the truth was that Richard had never stopped searching for his daughter.</p><p><br/></p><p>And now, the past was coming back to destroy everything.</p><p><br/></p><p>💔 PRESENT DAY…</p><p><br/></p><p>Mercy stood in the sitting room, staring at the note left behind after Richard disappeared.</p><p><br/></p><p>"If you want your father back, stop asking questions."</p><p><br/></p><p>"Mummy, I don't understand! Why would anyone take my father away?" Mercy cried.</p><p><br/></p><p>Elizabeth held her daughter tightly.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Mercy, please. Some secrets are dangerous."</p><p><br/></p><p>"No, Mummy! I'm tired of living in lies. I deserve to know the truth!"</p><p><br/></p><p>Before Elizabeth could answer, Margaret rushed into the house.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Elizabeth, we have a problem!"</p><p><br/></p><p>She showed them a picture on her phone. It was Richard, tied to a chair in a dark room.</p><p><br/></p><p>Beneath the picture was a message:</p><p><br/></p><p>"BRING MERCY TO THE OLD WILLIAMS MANSION BEFORE MIDNIGHT, OR YOU WILL NEVER SEE RICHARD AGAIN."</p><p><br/></p><p>Elizabeth screamed.</p><p><br/></p><p>"No! They want my daughter!"</p><p><br/></p><p>Mercy wiped her tears.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Then I'm going there. I won't let them hurt my father because of me."</p><p><br/></p><p>💔 DANIEL DISCOVERS A TERRIBLE SECRET…</p><p><br/></p><p>Meanwhile, Daniel confronted his father in his study.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Dad, I found a birth document bearing Mercy's name and your signature. What does it mean?"</p><p><br/></p><p>Mr. Williams snatched the document from him.</p><p><br/></p><p>"You must stay away from that girl!"</p><p><br/></p><p>"Why? What did you do to her family?"</p><p><br/></p><p>His father remained silent before finally speaking.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Seventeen years ago, I did something terrible to protect the Williams family."</p><p><br/></p><p>Daniel stared at him in disbelief.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Did you separate Mercy from her father?"</p><p><br/></p><p>Mr. Williams looked away.</p><p><br/></p><p>Before Daniel could ask another question, his phone rang.</p><p><br/></p><p>It was Vanessa.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Daniel, you need to come and see me immediately. I know who separated Mercy's parents."</p><p><br/></p><p>"Who?"</p><p><br/></p><p>Vanessa lowered her voice.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Your father didn't act alone. My mother helped him!"</p><p><br/></p><p>Daniel froze.</p><p><br/></p><p>💔 THE MIDNIGHT MEETING…</p><p><br/></p><p>At eleven forty-five that night, Mercy arrived at the abandoned Williams mansion with Margaret.</p><p><br/></p><p>The building was dark, and the wind blew through the broken windows.</p><p><br/></p><p>Suddenly, a woman appeared at the top of the staircase.</p><p><br/></p><p>It was Vanessa's mother.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Welcome, Mercy," she said coldly.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Where is my father?" Mercy demanded.</p><p><br/></p><p>The woman smiled.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Your father is alive, but you need to understand why your family has been hiding from the truth."</p><p><br/></p><p>"What truth?"</p><p><br/></p><p>She slowly walked down the stairs.</p><p><br/></p><p>"You are the rightful heir to the Williams fortune, and your existence threatens everything my daughter is supposed to inherit."</p><p><br/></p><p>Mercy's eyes widened.</p><p><br/></p><p>"So you were the one who took me away from my mother?"</p><p><br/></p><p>The woman smiled without answering.</p><p><br/></p><p>Suddenly, someone opened the door behind Mercy.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Mercy!"</p><p><br/></p><p>She turned around and saw Daniel standing there with his father.</p><p><br/></p><p>Daniel looked at her with tears in his eyes.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Mercy, I'm sorry. My family has been lying to you."</p><p><br/></p><p>Mercy stared at him.</p><p><br/></p><p>"What are you talking about?"</p><p><br/></p><p>Daniel took a deep breath.</p><p><br/></p><p>"My father knows what really happened seventeen years ago. But there's something even worse."</p><p><br/></p><p>He turned towards his father.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Dad, tell her who ordered you to separate Richard from Elizabeth!"</p><p><br/></p><p>Mr. Williams remained silent.</p><p><br/></p><p>Suddenly, Margaret began to cry.</p><p><br/></p><p>Mercy turned towards her.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Margaret, why are you crying? What do you know?"</p><p><br/></p><p>Margaret slowly stepped forward.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Mercy, there's something Elizabeth never told you about the night you were born."</p><p><br/></p><p>Mercy's heart raced.</p><p><br/></p><p>"What is it?"</p><p><br/></p><p>Before Margaret could answer, a loud crash came from upstairs.</p><p><br/></p><p>Everyone turned towards the sound.</p><p><br/></p><p>When they looked back, Vanessa's mother was gone.</p><p><br/></p><p>And so was the document containing the truth about Mercy's birth.</p><p><br/></p><p>Daniel rushed towards the staircase, but Mercy grabbed his hand.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Daniel, please tell me the truth. Who took me away from my mother?"</p><p><br/></p><p>Daniel looked into her eyes.</p><p><br/></p><p>"I know who did it, Mercy. But if I tell you, you may never look at my family the same way again."</p><p><br/></p><p>Mercy stepped back in shock.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then Daniel whispered five words that changed everything:</p><p><br/></p><p>"Your mother knows who did it."</p><p><br/></p><p>Mercy stood frozen.</p><p><br/></p><p>If Elizabeth knew the truth, why had she hidden it for seventeen years?</p><p><br/></p><p>And what other secrets was Margaret keeping?</p><p><br/></p><p>💔 TO BE CONTINUED 💔</p><p>💔END OF EPISODE 4 💔</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
