And behind them was the man whose face had been scratched away.Daniel turned the photograph over again.Ask him what happened after they opened the door.But his father was missing.

Chapter 32 — The Man Who Recognized Him
The message remained on Daniel's screen.Tomorrow, your first enemy will fall.Beneath it was one name.Richard Hartwell.Daniel read it several times. Someone wanted Richard Hartwell destroyed. But why? And why were they telling him?He locked his phone and sat back. The office was silent. For years, Daniel had dreamed about taking revenge on the people who had destroyed his life. Now an invisible hand was offering him exactly what he wanted. It should have made him happy. Instead, it made him uneasy.He remembered his mother's warning.Never trust the people who help you rise.Daniel stood. He had survived prison by learning one simple rule. Never accept anything without asking what it would cost. And Aurelia Holdings had already given him too much.The next morning, the business world woke up to chaos. At 8:00 a.m., news broke that several companies connected to Hartwell Group were under investigation. At 8:15, three major banks froze some of Hartwell's accounts. At 8:30, two of it

Chapter 33 — The Forgotten Heir
Daniel crouched behind the desk as footsteps spread through the warehouse."Check every room!"The voice came from outside.Daniel looked at the old man lying on the floor. He was still breathing, but barely. The stranger had said his grandfather was connected to the Circle. But before Daniel could make sense of it, someone kicked open the office door.Daniel moved. He grabbed the metal box and rolled behind a stack of wooden crates.Two men entered the room. One held a gun."Search everywhere."The second man opened the cabinet. "Nothing here.""Keep looking."Daniel held his breath. The metal box was pressed against his chest. He could hear his own heartbeat.Then his phone vibrated. He quickly pulled it from his pocket. One new message.Leave the box.Daniel's eyes narrowed. Another message arrived.It belongs to us.Daniel looked around. Whoever was sending the messages knew exactly where he was. He typed quickly.Who are you?The reply came almost immediately.Someone trying to k

Chapter 34 - The Last Clue
Daniel barely slept. The events at the warehouse kept replaying in his mind. His grandfather's hidden archive. The files about his family. Victor Hale's appearance. The mysterious woman named Clara. And the message that refused to leave his thoughts. You are not the heir. You are the reason the heir disappeared. Daniel sat beside his bedroom window, staring at the city lights. For seven years, he had blamed himself for everything. He had believed that his mistakes had destroyed his family. He had believed that his imprisonment was simply the result of a terrible decision. Now he wasn't sure what to believe. His childhood memories were incomplete. His mother had died under suspicious circumstances. His father had disappeared. His grandfather had kept secrets. And someone had deliberately erased parts of his past. His phone vibrated. A message from Clara. 9:00 a.m. Come to the old railway station. Come alone. Daniel looked at the time. 8:17.

Chapter 35 — The Photograph
Daniel stared at the photograph on the table. The image was old and slightly faded, but the faces were clear enough. His father stood on one side. His mother stood beside him. And between them was a man Daniel had never seen before.At the bottom of the photograph was a date. Seven years before Daniel went to prison.He turned the photograph over. Nothing. No name. No explanation. Just a small black mark drawn in the corner.Daniel had seen that mark before. It was on one of the documents he had found in his grandfather's old office. His eyes narrowed. Someone had connected these things deliberately. But who?He placed the photograph beside the documents and began comparing them. The financial records showed several payments made to a company called Northbridge Holdings. The company had disappeared from the records years ago.Daniel searched for it on his phone. Nothing useful appeared. No active website. No recent registration. No known owner. It was as if the company had never exist

Chapter 36 — The Man Who Knew Too Much
Daniel remained seated in front of his laptop long after the mysterious caller ended the conversation. His fingers rested on the keyboard, but he couldn't type. One sentence kept repeating in his mind.You were standing between them and something they desperately wanted.What could he possibly have had? Daniel had never been wealthy. He had never belonged to a powerful organization. Before prison, his life had been painfully ordinary. He had worked hard, married the woman he loved, and tried to build a future. At least, that was what he had believed. Now every part of his past seemed to contain a hidden door.He closed the court document and opened the old photograph again. His parents. Marcus Vale. The mysterious symbol. Number seventeen.Daniel zoomed in on the folder Marcus was holding. The photograph was too old to reveal the writing. But there was a small mark on its corner. A tiny letter.N.Daniel stared at it. "Northbridge." Could it be connected?He searched the company's old

Chapter 37 — The Key
Daniel stood frozen beside Samuel's body. For several seconds, the clinic seemed completely silent. Then footsteps thundered down the hallway.Daniel looked at the broken window. The shooter was gone. But staying there was no longer an option.He picked up the key Samuel had given him and slipped it into his pocket. Then he heard a familiar voice."Daniel!"Adrian appeared at the doorway. His eyes immediately fell on Samuel. "What happened?""Someone shot him.""Is he—""Dead."Adrian looked toward the window. "Who?""I don't know."Adrian entered the room and locked the door. "Then we need to leave."Daniel shook his head. "Not yet.""What do you mean?"Daniel pointed toward Samuel. "He gave me something before he was shot."Adrian's expression changed. "What?"Daniel pulled out the key. Adrian stared at it. "What's that?""I don't know."A small number was engraved on the metal.17.Adrian's face became serious. "Where did you get that?""Samuel.""What did he tell you?""That my fa

Chapter 38 — His First Counterattack
Daniel stood in front of the large glass window of his temporary office, watching the city move beneath him.Cars rushed along the streets. People hurried into buildings. Businessmen made phone calls and signed contracts. To everyone outside, it was an ordinary morning. To Daniel, it was the beginning of a war.For years, he had been powerless. Seven years in prison had taken his freedom, his marriage, his reputation, and almost everything his family owned. But now he finally had something he had never possessed before.Time.And information.He turned away from the window. Several files were spread across the desk. Northbridge Holdings. Marcus Vale. The Carter family's creditors. The companies that had purchased his family's properties. And the mysterious investment company that had recently begun supporting his business.Daniel studied the documents quietly. The more he investigated, the more obvious the pattern became. Someone had deliberately weakened the Carter family while he wa

Chapter 39 — The Enemy Strikes Back
The hospital corridor was unusually quiet. Daniel stood outside his father's room, staring through the glass window. His father was asleep. At least, that was what the doctors had told him.But Daniel couldn't stop thinking about Lily's words. Someone had visited his father. Someone who knew about his past. Someone who had asked whether Daniel had started remembering.Daniel's fingers tightened around his phone. He hated unanswered questions. Seven years in prison had taught him one thing. When someone wanted you to remain ignorant, there was usually a reason."Daniel."He turned. Lily stood several steps away."Are you coming home tonight?"Daniel shook his head. "I have something to do.""What?""I need to check something."Lily sighed. "You've been doing that every day.""And I'll continue until I know what happened."She looked at him sadly. "I know you're angry."Daniel didn't respond."But Dad is sick," she continued. "Please don't let revenge destroy what's left of our family."

Chapter 40 — No More Mercy
Daniel stood beside his car, phone pressed tightly against his ear."Where is my sister?"The voice on the other end remained calm. "You have twenty-four hours."Daniel's eyes hardened. "I asked you where she is.""You will know when the time is right."The call ended.Daniel slowly lowered the phone. For several seconds, he did not move. The street around him was quiet. A few cars passed in the distance, but everything felt strangely still.Lily was gone. His little sister had always been the one person who stayed beside their family when everyone else disappeared. She had taken care of their father while Daniel was in prison. She had struggled to keep the family together when their business was collapsing.And now someone had taken her because of him.Daniel clenched his fists. He had spent years learning how to control his anger. Prison had taught him that anger could make a man careless. But this time, it was different. This was not about business. It was not about money. It was L
