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 11
Three weeks later, Harry stood before the imposing gates of Hayburn University, clutching Alfred's note in his sweaty palm. He had spent the intervening weeks doing odd jobs and sleeping in shelters, but today was the day that would determine his future.The university's grand entrance was bustling with well-dressed students carrying expensive laptops and designer backpacks. Harry looked down at his secondhand clothes—a faded jacket he'd bought from a thrift store and worn jeans that had seen better days.I don't belong here, Harry thought nervously. But I have to try.He approached the security checkpoint, where a burly guard in uniform stood checking student IDs."Excuse me," Harry said politely. "I need to get to the CS Building to see Professor Alfred."The guard looked Harry up and down with undisguised disdain. "Student ID.""I don't have one yet. I'm here to meet with Professor Alfred Wyndham about—""No ID, no entry," the guard interrupted coldly. "This is a private universit
CHAPTER 10
After several hours of waiting, Harry heard a low groan from the hospital bed. Alfred's eyes fluttered open, his face contorting with pain as consciousness slowly returned."Are you feeling better, sir?" Harry asked gently, leaning forward in his chair.Alfred's eyes widened in confusion as he tried to focus on Harry's face. "Who... who are you? Where am I? I was driving to work...""Please don't panic," Harry said calmly, raising his hands in a reassuring gesture. "You had a car accident this morning. I brought you to the hospital."Alfred tried to sit up but winced at the pain. "An accident? But I don't remember...""The doctors said you had a minor heart attack while driving," Harry explained. "That's what caused you to lose control of your car. But your treatment is progressing well—there's nothing to worry about."Alfred looked around the sterile hospital room, then back at Harry with bewilderment. "Why are you still here? Shouldn't you have left by now?"Harry shifted uncomforta
CHAPTER 9
His vision began to blur as his strength finally gave out. Harry collapsed beside a lonely bus stop, his knees hitting the frozen concrete with a dull thud. He leaned against the metal bench, gasping for air as the adrenaline from his confrontation faded.Suddenly, a loud honk pierced the morning silence, followed by the screech of tires against ice. Harry's head snapped up to see a silver sedan spinning wildly out of control, its driver clearly struggling to regain command of the vehicle.The car skidded across the opposite lane before slamming into a concrete pillar with a sickening crash. Steam immediately began rising from the crumpled hood, and smoke started to seep from the engine compartment.Someone's hurt, Harry realized, forcing his exhausted body to move.Harry struggled to his feet and ran toward the wreckage, his legs shaky but determined. The street remained eerily empty-no other pedestrians, no passing cars to help.Through the spider-webbed windshield, Harry could see
CHAPTER 8
Harry slowly pushed himself up from the snow, his frozen muscles screaming in protest. Ice crystals clung to his soaked hair and clothes as he rose to his full height, water dripping from his trembling form."I am not a thief," Harry declared, his voice cutting through the winter air with surprising strength.Melissa's face contorted with fury. "How dare you stand up when I didn't give you permission!""You will kneel until you confess, you perverted little—" Terry began."No," Harry interrupted, his eyes blazing with newfound resolve. "I won't kneel anymore. Not for you, not for anyone in this family."This time, I know the truth, Harry thought with bitter clarity. This time, I won't let them destroy me.Sarah gasped in shock. "Did he just... did he just say no to Father?""The orphanage really did ruin him," Emma sneered. "He has no respect for authority."Frank stepped forward with fake concern. "Harry, you're making this worse for yourself. Just do what they say."Harry turned to
CHAPTER 7
The shock of ice-cold water hit Harry like a sledgehammer, jolting him awake with a violent gasp. His entire body was frozen stiff, every muscle screaming in protest as he tried to move. Snow crunched beneath his knees, and the bitter winter air cut through his soaked clothes like knives."Get up, you disgusting pervert!" Melissa Solomon's voice cut through the frigid morning air like a whip.Harry's vision slowly focused, his mind struggling to process what was happening. He was kneeling in the snow outside the Solomon mansion, his eighteen-year-old body trembling uncontrollably from the cold.This... this can't be real, Harry thought in confusion. I was in the warehouse. I was dying. How am I..."Look at me when I'm talking to you!" Melissa shrieked, her face twisted with disgust and rage. "How dare you steal your sister's underwear, you sick freak!"The memories came flooding back like a tidal wave. Harry's eyes widened in shock and recognition.Six years ago, he realized with s
