They returned home with Stacey, making sure she was well taken care of. He gave her a guest room to freshen up and later brought her into the living room, where Elena and Stella were already waiting. Baby Sophie rested quietly in Stella's arms.

As Stacey stepped into the room, Victor placed a hand on her shoulder. "Everyone… this is Stacey. She's not just Clifford's mother… she's also the twin sister of my childhood nanny—Theresa."

Elena's eyes widened slightly. "Nanny T?"

"Yes," Victor nodded with a sad smile. "She raised me like her own. Stacey was supposed to be protected, but… things didn't go as they should have."

Stella offered Stacey a warm smile as she stepped forward. "It's so good to finally meet you. You've been through a lot."

Stacey's eyes filled with tears as she returned their kindness with a grateful smile. "Thank you all. I never thought I'd be standing in a place like this again… welcomed."
