Harry stood motionless, his hand slowly rising to cover the burning handprint on his cheek. His face became a blank mask, showing no pain, no anger, no emotion whatsoever.
The silence stretched unbearably as Harry kept his head down, his hand shielding his face from their stares.
"Look at him," Sarah sneered. "He's not even going to apologize. What a selfish bastard."
"Say something!" Emma demanded. "Your brother is dying and you're just standing there like a statue!"
Melissa's voice cracked with fury. "After everything we've done for you, this is how you repay us? With silence and selfishness?"
Terry stepped closer, his voice dripping with contempt. "I raised a coward. A pathetic, ungrateful coward who can't even speak when his family needs him."
Still, Harry said nothing. His stoic silence only fueled their rage.
"He's always been like this," Sarah spat. "Remember when he first came back? Acting like we owed him something just because he'd been gone."
Frank coughed weakly from his hospital bed. "Please, don't blame Harry. He's just... processing. I understand."
Even now, Frank plays the saint, Harry thought bitterly. Even now, they praise him for defending the brother he's destroying.
Dr. Martinez cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but I have an update on Frank's condition."
The family immediately turned to him, hope flickering in their desperate eyes.
"We've run additional tests, and there is a potential treatment option," the doctor continued. "A heart transplant could save Frank's life."
Melissa gasped, clutching Terry's arm. "A transplant? You mean he could live?"
"Yes, but finding a compatible donor is extremely challenging. We would need someone with matching blood type, tissue compatibility, and several other factors."
"Money is no object," Terry said immediately. "Whatever it costs, we'll pay. Find us a donor."
Dr. Martinez nodded gravely. "We've already run Frank's profile through our genetic database to search for potential matches among living donors."
"And?" Sarah asked anxiously.
"We found one perfect match." The doctor's eyes moved to Harry. "Harry Solomon appears to be genetically compatible in every way necessary."
The room fell dead silent. Every eye in the room turned to Harry, who finally looked up, his face still showing no expression.
Terry's expression shifted instantly, his cold fury melting into false warmth. "Harry, son, did you hear that? You could save your brother's life."
Melissa's voice became sickeningly sweet. "Harry, darling, this is providence. You have the power to give Frank a future."
"Think about it, Harry," Emma said, her tone suddenly gentle. "You could be a hero. You could save Frank."
Sarah nodded eagerly. "This is your chance to prove you really care about this family."
Mona stepped forward, her voice soft and persuasive. "Harry, please. Frank means everything to this family. You could give him the gift of life."
Frank looked at Harry with pleading eyes. "Harry, I don't want to die. Please, help me."
Harry stared at them all for a long moment, then threw back his head and laughed—a harsh, bitter sound that filled the hospital room.
"You want my heart?" Harry's voice was cold and sharp. "Do you people even understand what you're asking?"
Terry frowned. "Harry, this is not the time for jokes."
"Oh, I'm not joking," Harry said, his eyes blazing. "You want me to give Frank my heart. Don't you realize that would kill me too?"
The family exchanged uncomfortable glances, but their expressions quickly hardened again.
"It's a family decision," Terry said firmly. "Frank needs that heart more than you do."
"Frank is the important one," Melissa added coldly. "He has so much to live for."
"Unlike you," Sarah muttered under her breath.
Emma nodded. "Harry, sometimes we have to make sacrifices for the people we love."
"Love?" Harry's voice cracked with disbelief. "You call this love?"
"Stop being dramatic," Mona said dismissively. "This is about doing what's right for the family."
Harry's face contorted with rage and disappointment. "I will never sacrifice my life for Frank. Never."
Frank's eyes flashed with fury for just a moment before he clutched his chest, gasping. "I... I don't want Harry to die. Please, don't force him. I'd rather die than hurt my brother."
"Oh, Frank," Melissa cooed, rushing to his side. "You're so mature, so selfless."
"See how noble Frank is?" Terry said to Harry. "He's dying, and he's still thinking of others. You should learn from him."
"Frank has always been the better man," Sarah added. "Even facing death, he's more generous than Harry."
Dr. Martinez spoke up again. "Actually, there might be another option. We could give the donor an artificial heart to replace the one we remove."
The family's eyes lit up with hope.
"So Harry wouldn't die?" Emma asked eagerly.
"That's correct. However," the doctor's expression grew serious, "Frank's condition is too delicate for an artificial heart. He needs a real, healthy organ."
Terry didn't hesitate for even a second. "Then that's the plan. Harry gets the artificial heart, Frank gets Harry's real heart."
"Father, you can't be serious," Harry said, his voice filled with horror.
"I'm completely serious," Terry replied coldly. "This is what's best for the family."
Before Harry could react, the hospital room door opened and four large men in dark suits entered. The Solomon family's private security team.
"Gentlemen," Terry said calmly, "please escort Harry to pre-op. He's going to donate his heart to save his brother."
"What?" Harry backed away, panic filling his voice. "You can't do this!"
The bodyguards moved toward him with practiced efficiency.
"Father, please!" Harry struggled as strong hands gripped his arms. "This is insane!"
"This is family," Terry said coldly. "Something you never understood."

Chapter 50
Harry crouched behind a shipping container, his lungs burning as Lydia and Sergeant Myles caught up to him. The sounds of pursuit were growing fainter, but the failure weighed heavily on all of them."Thomas is gone," Harry said through gritted teeth. "We had him and they took him back.""At least we're alive," Myles replied grimly. "Frank's network is bigger than we thought. Those weren't just dockworkers—half of them knew exactly who we were."Lydia checked her phone, scanning for messages. "Harry, Frank's reach goes beyond the estate. I'm getting reports from contacts across the city that people have been asking questions about you, about me, about anyone connected to this investigation.""Old contacts, trusted sources, even some of the Anderson staff we thought were clean," Myles added. "Frank's been building this network for years."Meanwhile, back at the Anderson estate, Alice was putting her intimate knowledge of the house's secrets to use. Using details gleaned from years of c

The abandoned storage facility squatted like a diseased growth among the shipping containers at the docks. Harry crouched behind a rusted truck with Lydia, while Sergeant Myles positioned himself near the main entrance and Old Thom covered the back exit."Guard rotation every twenty-two minutes," Harry whispered into his radio. "Frank's always been obsessive about timing. Two men on patrol, one at the entrance.""Copy that," Myles responded. "Thom, you in position?""Been ready for ten minutes," Thom's gravelly voice came back. "These Vultures ain't as smart as they think they are."Meanwhile, at the Anderson estate, Alice was executing her part of the plan. She had left a series of carefully planted notes in locations where she knew Mona would find them—fake plans detailing a meeting with journalists in town, complete with fabricated times and locations.Sure enough, within an hour, she overheard Mona on the phone."Frank, darling, you need to get into town immediately," Mona was say
Chapter 48
The warehouse district was shrouded in early morning fog as Harry approached with Lydia Chen and Sergeant Myles. The building they'd identified from cross-referencing the Black Vultures' financial records looked abandoned, its broken windows like dead eyes staring into the gray dawn."This feels wrong," Myles muttered, checking his weapon. "Too easy, too obvious.""We have to check," Harry replied, though his instincts were screaming the same warning. "If Thomas is in there...""Then Frank wants us to find him," Lydia finished grimly.They entered through a side door that had been conveniently left unlocked. Inside, the warehouse was empty except for a single chair in the center of the vast space, with rope scattered around it as if someone had been recently freed.On the chair sat a manila envelope and a handwritten note.Harry picked up the note, recognizing Frank's distinctive handwriting immediately: "Stop digging, or she disappears forever.""It's a trap," Myles said, scanning th
Chapter 47
Lydia Chen spread a collection of photographs across her cramped office desk, each one labeled with dates going back over a decade. Harry leaned forward, studying the black and white images with growing horror."This one's from 2015," Lydia said, pointing to a photograph of Frank shaking hands with a scarred man outside a warehouse. "The man he's meeting is Vincent Torrino."Harry's blood went cold. "You're certain it's Torrino?""Positive. I've been tracking the Black Vultures for years. This photo proves Frank's been working with them for at least eight years, not just recently.""Eight years," Harry repeated, the implications hitting him like a physical blow. "He's been planning this for decades.""Planning what, exactly?"Harry stared at the photograph, remembering Torrino's face from his past life—the man who had personally overseen his beating, who had whispered threats about what would happen if he ever crossed Frank again."Control," Harry said finally. "Frank doesn't just wan
CHAPTER 46 PART 2
While Alice continued her performance, Harry found Frank's office door unlocked. Inside, filing cabinets lined one wall, and a large desk dominated the room. He quickly began searching through drawers, looking for anything that might connect Frank to the Black Vultures or Thomas's disappearance.In the bottom drawer of the desk, he found what he was looking for—a leather-bound ledger with detailed financial records. Page after page showed payments to "BV Security Services" for various amounts, with coded descriptions next to each entry.Harry's hands trembled as he read through the entries. Most were mundane—"Protection services," "Consultation fees," "Security enhancement." But near the end, one line made his blood freeze:"Anderson servant—disposal. $15,000."Thomas hadn't just disappeared. He had been murdered, and Frank had paid for it to happen.Harry quickly photographed the relevant pages with his phone, then tucked the ledger under his jacket. As he prepared to leave, he heard
Chapter 46 PART 1
The bass from The Raven's Nest thumped through the walls as Harry approached the club's back entrance with Lydia Chen.The neon sign cast everything in a sickly red glow, and the smell of cigarettes and spilled alcohol hung thick in the air."Remember," Lydia whispered, "you get in, find the office, grab whatever records you can, and get out. Don't try to be a hero."Harry nodded, but his hands were shaking slightly. Being here brought back visceral memories from his past life—the taste of blood in his mouth, the sound of his ribs cracking, the feeling of being dragged through this same alley half-dead."You sure about this?" Lydia asked, noting his pale complexion."I'm sure," Harry lied, forcing himself toward the service entrance.Inside, the club was exactly as he remembered—dark, crowded, and dangerous. Black Vultures members were scattered throughout, their tattoos visible on muscled forearms and necks.At the bar, Harry spotted the same man who had followed him to the library,
