THE RETURN HEIR
Max stepped forward, his heart racing as he searched the man’s face, looking for some resemblance, some hint of familiarity. “Who… who are you?” he managed to ask, his voice barely above a whisper.
The man studied him for a moment before responding, his voice thick with emotion. “I am Reginald Reid, your grandfather.”
The words hit Max like a thunderbolt. “Grandfather?” he echoed, his mind racing. He had never imagined he had a family, much less one of such prominence.
Reginald nodded, his gaze filled with a mixture of pride and regret. “Yes, Max. You are my grandson, and the last direct heir of the Reid family.”

Max’s heart twisted at the mention of his parents. He’d spent his end of the year

The man they discarded now holds the power to decide who lives… and who fades into nothing.
