My Son Found His Twin Begging on the Stree

CHAPTER 4 — The Twin Who Refused to Lose Him

Richard drove Noah toward a private airfield.

A forged passport had already been prepared. Once Noah left the country, Richard planned to place him inside an institution under a false name.

Caroline contacted the police.

Richard had disabled his phone, and the car's tracking system had been removed.

Then Nicholas remembered his coat.

Before Noah disappeared, Nicholas had placed his children's smartwatch inside one pocket. He wanted Noah to have a way to call him if he became frightened.

The device was still transmitting.

Police followed the signal.

At the airfield, Noah refused to board the plane.

Richard grabbed his arm.

"You lived without her for eight years. You can continue living without her."

"She didn't know I was alive."

"She knows now, and look what you've caused."

A second car arrived.

Margaret Vale stepped out carrying Noah's original birth certificate.

She had created the plan, bribed the doctor and convinced Caroline that her repeated questions were symptoms of postpartum grief.

Margaret wanted the birth certificate destroyed before police arrived.

She held it over a metal bin and lit a match.

Caroline reached the airfield in time to see the flame.

She knocked the document from Margaret's hand and pulled Noah behind her.

Police surrounded the plane.

Richard attempted to claim Caroline had kidnapped a child with no legal identity.

But Nicholas's smartwatch had recorded the entire conversation.

Margaret's confession had been transmitted to Caroline's phone.

Richard and Margaret were arrested for kidnapping, fraud and conspiracy.

Noah clung to Caroline as the police led them away.

For one moment, she believed the nightmare was over.

Then Noah pushed himself out of her arms.

He looked at her with tears filling his eyes.

"Why didn't you find me?"

Caroline opened her mouth, but no answer seemed enough.

He had slept hungry on a street while Nicholas lived inside a mansion.

Noah had been returned to his mother, but he was not yet ready to call her Mom.
