The river churned beneath the ship, its unrest mirroring the turmoil within Dustin. "I'm back, Grayvale," he declared, his eyes resolute.

The Fox family, once among Grayvale's most affluent, had been powerful, perfect. But on his grandfather's sixtieth birthday, everything was destroyed. Numerous assailants stormed their villa, slaughtering everyone in their path, their motive the theft of the family's treasures. Only Dustin's father's careful concealment had saved him. Now, grown and returned, vengeance consumed him.

"I must avenge the Fox family! None shall escape my wrath!" he vowed, clenching his fists. He had already ascertained the location of the Fox villa, expecting only ruins. Instead, he found a brightly lit residence, a sign proclaiming it the Cave family's estate. Dustin's face darkened. Hell Hall's investigation had implicated the Cave family in his family's destruction.

"Dustin, is that you?" An old woman appeared, her features gaunt, her voice trembling. "You're..." Dustin stiffened. Who was this woman, and how had she recognized him? He had been a baby when Lucas had carried him away.

"It really is you!" The woman's eyes welled. She quickly pulled him aside. "Dustin, I was your wet nurse! Yours and your younger sister's! You shouldn't have returned! I've kept vigil, fearing your return. I'm fortunate to have found you…"

His wet nurse? A younger sister? His emotions surged. He seized her arms, demanding answers.

Michelle Swift explained that the Fox family had aided her, leading to her role as wet nurse. "Dustin, you and Diana were fraternal twins. Diana was born half an hour after you. That night, I escaped with Diana and my daughter, but they caught up… I knew one of them, so I managed to hide Diana and gave them my daughter. Afterward, I sent Diana away to ensure her survival…" she wept.

He had a sister, Diana, and she was alive. "Mrs. Swift, where is my sister now?" he asked urgently, respectful of the woman who had saved her.

"I don't know… I used a special method to send her away, to ensure she couldn't be found. I don't know where she went."

Dustin's heart ached, gazing at the woman's ravaged face. She had sacrificed her own daughter to save Diana. Her disfigurement spoke of the assailants' attempts to force her silence.

"I've kept vigil all these years, hoping you or Diana would return. If you seek revenge without the means, you will die!" Michelle sobbed. "Dustin, you're your father's image. I recognized you instantly! Hurry, we must leave! The Cave family mustn't find you…" She frantically tugged at him. But Dustin remained firm.
