Aerin stayed up all night to finish all the paper works that needs her attention, after signing the last file, she grabbed a small remote control from the table and pressed the button..

The blinds that covering the floor-to-ceiling glass wall went up automatically, she smiled as soon as she saw that the sun is about to rise now..

She was about to go out on the balcony when there's a sudden knock on the door, her Aunt Emie came in along with a maid who's holding a tray on her hands..

"I brought you a cup of coffee.." she said smiling sweetly..

The smell of a freshly brewed coffee entered her nostrils and the heavenly scent of it made her relax..

"That brat of mine called last night and told me that he's coming back today.." the woman said rolling her eyes..

"Looks like he's already done with the mission I gave him.." Aerin said with a meaningful smile..

Uncle John and Aunt Emie only had one child who's two years older than her and that man is Justin, her personal assistant and the Vice President of her company..

He had been handling all her businesses here along with Uncle John while she's living abroad..

"By the way Aerin, since your business here will surely took a long time, why don't you enroll your children here?! They're already at the right age to start their studies.." she said after a while..

Her Aunt is right, the reason why she came here is not just because of the auction, she also needs to check her businesses here and the most important thing is, to look for her biological family..

She didn't have time a few years back but now that her businesses are fine and her children is already four years old, she can finally start looking for them..

"That's a good idea Aunt, I'll leave it to you then.." she said with a grateful smile..

She'll be very busy these coming days and she doesn't want to neglect her children's well-being, it's better for them to go to school while she's out..

..

In a restaurant, a group of men are gathering inside the private room, they had a Saturday night out all night and they decided to have their breakfast here before going home..

"Ugh~ I'm so beat!!" a blue-eyed man groaned tiredly..

"You only have yourself to blame for that, who told you to fucked two women at the same time?!" the green-eyed man with glasses said with a scoff..

"Shut up Craig, you're just jealous.." the blue-eyed man retorted mockingly..

"Ohhhh~ burned.." two men exclaimed teasingly at the same time..

"Why would I get jealous to a man whore like you?! Just be careful not to caught an STD though.." Craig said smirking..

"Eww~ don't come near me Lelouch, what if you already got an STD?!" the man with a blond hair teased with a fake disgust..

"Shut the fuck up Ethan!!" the blue-eyed man, Lelouch yelled annoyed..

"Damn it Craig, I'm not a man whore, I'm just helping those pent up women.." Lelouch said again with a scowl and the three of them started bickering to each other..

"Are you going to stop or I'll make you?!" a cold voice ask that startled them..

Lelouch, Ethan and Craig immediately shut their mouth, they forgot that this block of ice is also with them..

"Don't mind them, you know that these two are tend to argue everytime they'll meet because of their jobs.." a man with a chocolate brown eyes said calmly with a smile..

That's right, it's always like this whenever these two will meet since Craig is a world class lawyer while Lelouch owned the biggest entertainment company in the country..

Craig really hates those people who will always do anything just to be famous, they will even sell themselves..

"Mikhail, you're more scarier when you're calm.." a lazy voice commented..

"Am I?! but Viktor, you know that I'm always like this.." Mikhail said smiling that gave them a goosebumps..

"By the way, I heard an interesting story when I visited my Grandparents a few days ago.." Lelouch said seriously that got their attention..

Lelouch is a man who loves to pull pranks and to play around, it's rare for him to get serious and when he did, it requires their attentions..

"I'm guessing that none of you have heard about the 'New born Exchanged' news right?!" he ask that made them frown in confusion because they never heard of it..

"How did you know about that?!" Ethan ask through gritted teeth that shocked them..

"You know it too?!" Lelouch ask, a little shocked because this is a closed case..

"Of course I know it, my mom's cousin was one of the victims of that case!!" Ethan said angrily..

"Come on, enough with the chitchat and tell us already.." Viktor said in annoyance..

"It's a closed case that happened five years ago.. It is said that 10 women gave birth on the same day on the month of January, 25 years ago and one of the women found out that the child that they're raising for 18 years wasn't their biological child.." Lelouch started..

"That woman is no other than my mom's cousin and that happened five years ago.. My distant cousin, Aerin, got hospitalized and in need of an emergency blood transfusion but her blood didn't matched my Aunt and Uncle.. They almost got divorced but mom stopped them so they started to investigate the matter and that's when they found out that their biological child was exchanged in the Hospital.." Ethan said with an ugly expression..

"Since my Aunt's family is also wealthy, they didn't make the matter rest and demanded an explanation from the Hospital, the paparazzi caught wind of it and made a big news out of it, those family who also had their children on the same day and year heard the news, a shocking discovery was revealed, the 8 of them end up raising a child that's not their own.. The Hospital conducted a DNA test and those who matched were all returned to their biological family, aside from my poor Aerin.." Ethan said with a grim look on his face..

"No one claimed her as their own?!" Viktor ask with a frown..

"10 women gave birth on that same day and year but only 8 families turned up, they're able to get back their biological children but two families didn't turned up that time and I know that one of those family is Aerin's biological family but we still don't know why they didn't turned up.." Ethan said..

"It's because someone deliberately suppressed the news from spreading and the higher up concludes that the person who did this doesn't want those two families to know the truth.." a cold voice said seriously while staring straight to one person..

"Why are you looking at me like that Eros?!" Mikhail ask with a smile when he saw the look that the cold man is giving him..

"Your family is one of those two families who didn't showed up five years ago Mikhail.." Eros said and his heart dropped as soon as he said it..

"What did you say?!" Mikhail ask in utter shock..

"The hospital where that case happened is the same Hospital where your twin youngest siblings was born and your mom was one of those 10 women who gave birth on that day.. Our family had the same standing in wealth and power so there's a possibility that your family is the main target of that incident.. In addition, your family never heard anything about it all these years, that's what the culprit is aiming for.." he said again..

Mikhail is starting to lose his cool now and the smile on his face had been long gone since the moment his family was mentioned..

"If what your saying is true, then there's a possibility that Aerin belongs to the Alegre family.. That poor girl was kicked out by the Lee's when they got their biological daughter back and when I went there to get her, she's already gone.. She had been missing for five years now and I can't find her anywhere.." Ethan said softly, so soft that they almost can't hear what he's saying..

Mikhail's whole body stiffened when he heard it, the woman who is possibly a part of their family was kicked out and missing..

If she really belongs to their family, then he can't imagine what's going to happen once he met her after finding out what happened to her five years ago..
