Scars of his father
Urban
10
Selma Elias was only eleven the first time he watched his father cry not from pain, not from hunger but from humiliation. Everyday Selma watched his mother tear Rafael Elias apart with cruel words, betrayal, and endless disrespect. Their home became a battlefield where silence hurt more than screams. While Rafael worked himself to exhaustion trying to provide for his family, Matilde Elias brought other men into their house even into their matrimonial bed while her son watched helplessly from the shadows.
Then one night, that the worst happened. Rafael returned home unannounced and discovered another man inside his house. The heartbreak in his eyes that night destroyed something inside him forever. Depression swallowed him whole. Alcohol became his escape. His laughter disappeared. His focus faded. Eventually, he lost his job, his peace, and finally his life.
Standing over his father’s grave, young Selma made a vow: He would never let a woman destroy him the way his mother destroyed his father. Years later, Selma Elias becomes powerful, wealthy, and emotionally untouchable. To the world, he is a successful businessman with absolute control. But beneath the expensive suits and cold silence lives a boy still haunted by memories he never escaped, he doesn’t trust women and also he doesn’t believe in love. And he refuses to let anyone get close enough to break him.
But when a persistent woman begins challenging the walls he spent years building, Selma is forced to confront the truth he buried deep inside himself: Maybe the greatest scar his father left behind was not death but fear. And healing may require him to face the one thing he has avoided his entire life his own heart.

Chapter: Chapter 66 WHO DO WE TRUST
"Don't Trust Morris."The words hung in the air like a loaded gun. No one moved. No one spoke. Every eye slowly shifted toward Inspector Daniel Morris, who stood exactly where he had been moments ago, the expression on his face caught somewhere between confusion and disbelief.Victor's hand drifted instinctively toward the pistol beneath his jacket. Morris noticed. "You can't seriously believe that."Selma kept his eyes on the map. "I don't know what to believe anymore."The room grew unbearably quiet. Samuel folded his arms. "Let's think. Vivian spent decades manipulating people. If she wanted to divide us..." He looked around the room. "...this is exactly how she'd do it."Jacob nodded. "A single sentence. Now we're questioning the one man who's helped us from the beginning."Gabriel wasn't convinced. "Or Daniel risked his life to warn us because Morris really can't be trusted."Rafael finally spoke. "We don't accuse anyone without proof." He looked directly at Morris. "But.

Chapter: Chapter 65 THE FIRST MOVE
The little boy's bed was still warm. His favorite stuffed bear lay on the pillow, and the blanket had slipped onto the floor. It looked as though he had simply climbed down and walked away.Selma stood silently inside the hospital room, his jaw tightening. He had promised that child no one would take him away again—and he had failed.Victor stepped inside, carrying a tablet. "The security footage is ready."Inspector Morris closed the door behind them. "Show it."Victor pressed play, and the video displayed the pediatric ward. Nurses hurried between rooms, and doctors spoke quietly with anxious parents. Then, at exactly 10:17 a.m., Agent Daniel Carter appeared. He wore his federal jacket, his badge hung around his neck, and he smiled politely at every nurse who passed. Nobody questioned him.He stopped outside the little boy's room, knocked once, and opened the door. Three minutes later, he walked out holding the child's hand. The little boy looked calm and trusting. As they r

Chapter: Chapter 64 THE MAN AMONG US
The room fell into a stunned silence. Nobody reached for the tablet; nobody breathed. Inspector Morris slowly took the device from the agent, his hands trembling violently."No..." His voice was barely audible. "This has to be wrong."Victor stepped up beside him. "Show us."Morris turned the screen around, revealing a personnel profile that filled the display:FEDERAL INVESTIGATION BUREAUName: Agent Daniel CarterClearance Level: Alpha SevenStatus: ActiveYears of Service: SixPsychological Evaluation: OutstandingRecommendation: Fast-track promotionBeneath the profile text, the photograph loaded completely. Selma froze. Samuel slowly removed his glasses, and Gabriel's jaw tightened.The face on the screen was painfully familiar. It wasn't because he was currently standing in the room, but because he had been right beside Inspector Morris throughout the entirety of the investigation. He had helped recover crucial evidence. He had interviewed key witnesses. He had carried re

Chapter: Chapter 63 THE FOURTH FOUNDER
The leather journal slipped from the young woman's trembling hands, but Rafael caught it before it hit the floor. The instant his fingers touched the worn cover, a flood of memories rushed back. Twenty-five years earlier, four young men had sat around a tiny wooden table. Not three but four. Each possessed impossible dreams, and each believed they could change the world.Rafael slowly looked up, his voice barely rising above a whisper. "...Ethan."The young woman's eyes filled with tears. "You remember him."Samuel stepped closer. "How could I forget?" He gently took the journal from Rafael. "Ethan Brooks. The smartest engineer any of us had ever met."Victor frowned, looking between them. "You never mentioned a fourth founder."Samuel sighed heavily, a deep sorrow settling over him. "Because we believed he died."Silence filled the room. The young woman shook her head, looking at the gathered faces. "He didn't. My father survived. But he spent the rest of his life hiding."S

Chapter: Chapter 62 INSIDE THE INSTITUTE
The photograph lay on the hood of the police vehicle, and no one spoke. The children in crisp blue uniforms smiled as they walked through the gates, greeted by teachers while parents waved goodbye. It looked like every prestigious boarding school in the country—clean, safe, and respectable. It was a perfect disguise.Selma looked at Rafael. "How many people know what this place really is?"Rafael’s eyes remained fixed on the photograph. "Very few."Samuel took a slow breath, his voice heavy with regret. "When we built the Kane Legacy Research Center, we wanted it to become a place where brilliant young people could solve problems that governments ignored." He looked away. "Vivian turned that dream into a weapon."Inspector Morris folded his arms. "We’ve already checked the institute."Everyone looked at him. "What did you find?""Nothing," Morris replied.Victor frowned. "What do you mean, nothing?""The classrooms are real," Morris explained. "The teachers are licensed, the

Chapter: Chapter 61 THE MORNING AFTER THE FIRE
The sunrise should have brought peace, but instead, it revealed the true cost of the night. The once-majestic estate was now nothing more than blackened ruins, with smoke drifting lazily into the pale morning sky. As firefighters continued spraying water over the smoldering debris, stretchers lined the road, and doctors moved from one rescued child to another. For the first time in years, the children slept without chains.Selma stood quietly, watching them. One little boy clutched a worn teddy bear a firefighter had found in the rubble, while another little girl refused to let go of Serena's hand. She looked up every few seconds, as if afraid this freedom was only another dream.Serena knelt beside her, gently brushing the child's hair back. "It's okay," she reassured her. "No one is taking you away again."The little girl nodded, then whispered, "You promise?"Serena smiled through her tears. "I promise."Nearby, Rafael sat inside an ambulance while a doctor stitched the wou
