The warehouse doors burst open with a thunderous crash as the Solomon family's private helicopter touched down outside.
Mona was the first through the entrance, her designer heels clicking against the concrete floor.
"Frank! Frank, where are you?" Mona's voice echoed through the dim space, filled with desperate concern.
Terry, Melissa, Sarah, and Emma rushed in behind her, their faces etched with worry and panic.
"My baby!" Melissa cried out, scanning the warehouse frantically. "Frank, answer me!"
From the shadows near some shipping containers, Frank's weak voice called out, "Here... I'm here..."
The family rushed toward the sound, their footsteps echoing in the cavernous space. They found Frank slumped against a wall, his hands loosely bound behind him, a small cut on his arm that he'd made with a shard of glass.
"Oh my God, Frank!" Mona dropped to her knees beside him, her hands trembling as she examined his condition.
"I've been cut," Frank whispered, his voice deliberately weak and shaky. "They... they hurt me..."
Melissa let out a blood-curdling scream. "My precious boy! What did those monsters do to you?"
Terry immediately began untying Frank's bonds with shaking hands. "Son, we're here now. You're safe."
"Frank, stay with us," Sarah said, tears streaming down her face. "We're going to get you to a hospital right away."
Emma was already on her phone. "I'm calling for immediate medical evacuation. Frank needs emergency care!"
They're all here, Harry thought through his haze of pain. But not for me. Never for me.
From his chair twenty feet away, Harry tried to speak, blood bubbling from his lips. "Help..." he whispered, but his voice was barely audible.
Mona's head turned slightly at the sound. She frowned when she spotted Harry tied to the chair, blood pooling beneath him.
"Why is Harry here too?" Mona asked, her voice filled with confusion and annoyance rather than concern.
Frank, still playing his role perfectly, looked weakly in Harry's direction. "They... they took both of us. Harry might be injured too. Why don't you... why don't you save him then?"
The family barely glanced at Harry before dismissing him entirely.
"Oh please," Sarah scoffed, not even bothering to look at Harry properly. "He's probably just faking it for attention. You know how dramatic he gets."
"Classic Harry," Emma added with disgust. "Even during Frank's crisis, he has to make it about himself."
Terry's voice was sharp with irritation. "We don't have time for Harry's theatrics. Frank is the priority here."
"Frank is barely conscious," Melissa said, cradling Frank's head in her lap. "Harry can wait. Frank needs immediate medical attention."
I'm dying, Harry thought desperately, watching his blood continue to flow. Can't they see I'm actually dying?
"Help... please..." Harry managed to croak out, louder this time.
Mona glanced at him with cold indifference. "Harry, stop being so selfish. Can't you see Frank is the one who's really hurt here?"
"Look at that cut on Frank's arm," Sarah said, pointing dramatically. "He could have bled to death!"
Emma nodded vigorously. "Frank's heart condition makes any injury ten times more dangerous. Harry is perfectly healthy—he can handle a few scratches."
The rescue team from the helicopter entered the warehouse, carrying a medical stretcher and emergency equipment.
"Where's the patient?" the lead medic called out.
"Here!" Melissa waved frantically. "My son Frank needs immediate evacuation!"
The medics rushed to Frank's side, quickly assessing his minor cut and fake weakness.
"We need to get him to the helicopter now," the lead medic announced. "Time is critical."
As they carefully lifted Frank onto the stretcher, Terry looked around the warehouse dismissively.
"There's only room for one patient in the helicopter," Terry announced coldly. "Frank goes first. Harry can wait for the next transport."
"But father—" Harry tried to speak, blood now flowing freely from his mouth.
"But nothing," Melissa snapped without even looking at him. "Frank is dying, Harry. Stop being so dramatic and let us save your brother."
"Frank's heart condition makes this an emergency," Sarah added. "You're young and strong—you can wait."
Emma nodded in agreement. "Besides, you probably just got a few bumps and bruises. Frank actually looks pale and weak."
They're choosing Frank again, Harry realized with crushing finality. Even as I bleed to death, they're choosing Frank.
The medical team began wheeling Frank toward the exit, the entire Solomon family following closely behind like devoted servants.
As they reached the warehouse entrance, Frank turned his head slightly toward Harry. For just a moment, when no one else was looking, Frank's mask of pain slipped away.
He gave Harry a slow, triumphant smile—cold, calculating, and utterly victorious.
He's won, Harry thought numbly. He's finally won everything.
The family disappeared through the warehouse doors, their worried voices fading as they accompanied Frank to the helicopter. Within minutes, the sound of rotor blades filled the air as the aircraft lifted off, carrying Frank to safety and medical care.
Harry was left alone in the dark warehouse, still tied to the chair, his life slowly draining away through the knife wound in his abdomen.
This is how I die, Harry thought, his vision blurring. Alone, forgotten, abandoned by the people who were supposed to love me.
The warehouse fell silent except for the sound of Harry's labored breathing and the steady drip of his blood hitting the concrete floor.
Through a broken window, Harry caught sight of something beautiful—a shooting star streaking across the night sky, bright and brilliant against the darkness.
If only, Harry thought as his consciousness began to fade. If only I had another chance... I would never return to the Solomon family hell again. I would never try to win their love. I would never believe their lies.
The shooting star disappeared, and Harry's eyes slowly closed as darkness claimed him.
I wish... I wish I could start over...

Chapter 136 PART 1
Harry sat down at the table, accepting the plate Alfred handed him with a quiet "thanks." He tried to appear unaffected by Alice's presence, but his mind kept circling back to the fact that she'd helped him. She could have told the doctors the truth, could have called the police when she saw him walk away from injuries that should have killed him. But she hadn't. She'd kept his secret.That counted for something.Alice watched him eat, her eyes studying every movement like she was trying to solve a puzzle. Harry could feel the weight of unasked questions hanging in the air between them."You have questions," Harry said finally, setting down his fork. "I can tell.""Is it that obvious?" Alice asked with a slight smile."Pretty obvious," Harry confirmed. "You've been staring at me like I'm some kind of science experiment."Alice flushed slightly. "I'm sorry. It's just... I have so many things I want to ask, but I don't know if you'd want to answer them. Or if I even have the right to as

Harry opened his mouth to say yes, then stopped himself. Did he want her to leave? Part of him—the part that was still angry at the Anderson family—absolutely did. But another part, the exhausted part that had spent all day dealing with dead-end investigations and disappointing news, found something oddly comforting about coming home to voices and laughter instead of an empty house."I didn't say that," Harry replied carefully."Then what are you saying?" Alice pressed.Harry moved into the room, setting his bag down on a chair. "I'm saying I don't understand what you're doing here. After everything with Mona, after your father, after I told you I wanted nothing to do with your family—why are you still here?"Alfred cleared his throat. "Harry, Alice has been helping us. She's been coordinating with the hospital to make sure your medical records reflect the story we agreed on. She's been deflecting questions from concerned coworkers who heard about the accident. She's been—""Useful,"

Samuel sat back in his chair, considering Frank's demands with a calculating expression. "Look, I'll help you. But let's be realistic about the timeline here.""What do you mean?" Frank asked."Gage Thornhill isn't some random nobody," Samuel explained. "He's a high-profile lawyer with connections, security, and from what you've told me, he's already paranoid after the last attack. Getting to him is going to take time—weeks, maybe months of surveillance to find the right opportunity."Frank's jaw tightened with impatience. "I don't have months—""But Harry?" Samuel interrupted, a glint appearing in his eye. "Harry is different. He's predictable. He goes to work, he goes home, he follows the same routine every day. No security detail, no bodyguards. Taking him would be easy."Frank leaned forward, his interest piqued. "Easy how?""He trusts people too much," Samuel said. "Especially if they claim to have information he wants. I could tell him I have evidence about who really burned dow

Frank leaned forward on Samuel's couch, his expression hardening from friendly collaboration to cold threat. "Let me make something very clear, Samuel. If you don't cooperate with me, I will personally make sure you regret ever touching that warehouse.""I already said I'd help you—" Samuel started."No, I don't think you understand," Frank interrupted. "Right now, I'm the only thing standing between you and a prison cell. I have evidence that will destroy you—photos, timestamps, witness accounts. If I decide to hand that over to the police, you're done. Five to ten years minimum. Maybe more if they decide to make an example of you."Samuel's face paled. "You said you'd make the evidence disappear.""I will," Frank confirmed. "As long as you're useful to me. But the moment you become a liability, the moment you hesitate or refuse what I ask? That evidence goes straight to Detective Reynolds at the police department. And trust me, she'll be very interested in what I have to show her."
CHAPTER 133 PART 2
The door slammed in Harry's face, leaving him standing in the hallway, frustrated and unconvinced.Harry turned and walked back toward the stairs, his mind churning. Samuel's denial had seemed genuine, but Harry's instincts still screamed that something was wrong. He couldn't let this go.What Harry didn't see was Frank, who had positioned himself in the stairwell below, listening to the entire exchange with growing interest.Frank waited until Harry's footsteps had faded completely, then climbed the stairs to Samuel's floor. He knocked on the door—the same door Harry had just left.Samuel yanked it open, expecting Harry. "I told you to—" He stopped when he saw Frank instead. "Who the hell are you?""Frank Solomon," Frank said with a cold smile. "Harry's brother. Can I come in?""No," Samuel said immediately, trying to close the door.But Frank had already wedged his foot in the doorway. "I think you want to hear what I have to say, Samuel. Because I saw you. Three nights ago, outside
CHAPTER 133 PART 1
Harry left work early, his mind consumed with thoughts of Samuel Walsh. Despite Mr. Chen's warnings about making baseless accusations, Harry couldn't shake the conviction that Samuel was responsible for the warehouse fire. The timing was too perfect, the motive too obvious.He spent the afternoon researching, using public records and social media to track down Samuel's address. It wasn't difficult—Samuel had posted about his new apartment on LinkedIn months ago, complaining about the commute to TechNova."Got you," Harry muttered, writing down the address.By evening, Harry was parked outside a modest apartment complex on the outskirts of the city. He sat in his car for several minutes, rehearsing what he would say, how he would approach this confrontation.What Harry didn't notice was the dark sedan parked three spaces behind him, its driver watching with intense interest.Frank Solomon had been following Harry all day, maintaining careful distance, using techniques he'd learned from
