Episode Title: A New Addition to the Family

Setting: The Mansion – A Life-Changing Decision

Mr. Rivers, also known as Maxwell Rivers, sat in his grand living room, lost in thought. Ever since Amara’s son passed away, the atmosphere in the house had been heavy with grief. Even with all the wealth and luxury surrounding them, there was an emptiness no material thing could fill.

One evening, as he scrolled through the adoption agency profiles, one girl’s picture caught his attention.

Her name was Elena Adeyemi.

She was 15 years old, originally from Nigeria, but had been in foster care for most of her life. Her parents had died in an accident, and she had no close relatives to take her in.

Her appearance stood out. She was a beautiful, curvy girl with deep brown skin, striking hazel eyes, and thick, long black hair that flowed past her shoulders. She was tall for her age, standing at 5’7, and had a natural elegance about her.

Maxwell read through her profile:

Age: 15

Height: 5’7

Personality: Outspoken, intelligent, and a little reserved due to her past experiences.

Hobbies: Reading, drawing, and playing the piano.

He stared at her photo for a long time. Something about her reminded him of his daughters—especially Vanessa.

Without a second thought, he made the call.

Meeting Elena

A week later, Maxwell flew to the adoption center in Lagos. He dressed in his usual sleek suit, stepping into the office with confidence. The director, an elderly woman, greeted him with a warm smile.

“Mr. Rivers, this is Elena,” she said, motioning toward the girl sitting on the couch.

Elena looked up, her hazel eyes filled with curiosity. She wore a simple black dress, and her posture was calm yet guarded.

Maxwell smiled. “Hi, Elena.”

She studied him carefully before nodding. “Hello, sir.”

“You don’t have to call me ‘sir.’ You can call me Maxwell… or Dad, if you ever feel comfortable.”

Elena hesitated. She had never known what it was like to have a father. The idea of calling someone ‘Dad’ felt strange… but also nice.

“I heard you play the piano,” Maxwell continued, trying to ease the tension.

Elena’s eyes lit up slightly. “Yes, I do.”

“Well, there’s a grand piano waiting for you at home.”

Her lips curled into a small smile. “Really?”

“Really,” Maxwell confirmed.

At that moment, Elena knew her life was about to change forever.
