Alex sat at a café table, his mind drifting as fragments of his memory began to unravel.

He couldn't quite recall his mother's face, but he remembered this medallion she had given him.

"Alex, if you ever get lost, use this medallion to find your why home." Her voice had been urgent, full of warning.

He remembered her telling him to hide, someone was chasing them. But who? He couldn't piece it together.

The next memory was of him waking up at the orphanage, the medallion already gone from his possession.

These must have been his memories before he ended up there.

Touching the cold, surface of the medal, Alex knew he had to track it down to find his mother and reclaim his past.

Suddenly his phone rang.

"Alex," Jasmine's voice was soft but tense.

"Yes?"

"Can you help me by accompanying me to my banquet?"

Alex wanted to refuse, but he remembered his promise to Abraham-to ensure the Kingston partnership was handed over to the Lancasters, even though Sophia had divorced him.

His mission to find his mother's trace was already solved by Sophia's medallion. This had been the purpose of the marriage from the start, after all.

As he hesitated, Jasmine added, "My father forbade me from using our car, saying there might be a tracking device or possibly an attack. And now I can't reach him. He seems so busy, and my banquet starts in a few hours. It's my first one, Alex."

"Alright," he sighed. "I'll take you to your banquet."

"Thank you, Alex," Jasmine replied with relief.

He hung up and glanced at himself.

He couldn't show up in something so plain as Jasmine's partner, not for her first public appearance.
