Power makes you blind, and I was no exception. The morning of the accident was no different than any other day of my life—at least, that’s how it started. I woke up to the soft hum of my automated blinds retracting, sunlight spilling into my penthouse bedroom. The smell of fresh coffee wafted in from the adjoining kitchen. Everything was as it should be—perfect.I rolled out of bed and stretched, staring out at the city skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows. My city. My empire. I didn’t just live above the world; I ruled it. And today was another day to prove it.“Good morning, Mr. Kane,” came the voice of my assistant, Clara, over the intercom. She always sounded nervous, though I never gave her a reason to be—at least, none that I cared to admit.“Your 10 a.m. with the board is confirmed. The media will be releasing the statement about the New Haven wage adjustments at noon. Oh, and Gerald called. He wants to discuss the Mercury Tech acquisition.”I snorted at the last part, grab

Chapter 2: Waking in a Stranger’s Life

The first thing I felt was a deep, bone-weary exhaustion—the kind I’d never known in my old life. My body ached in ways I didn’t think were possible, as if it had been stretched too thin and battered for years. The face in the mirror still haunted me, and for a moment, I wondered if I was dreaming.But it wasn’t a dream.The room smelled of damp clothes and mildew, and every corner seemed to hold some secret layer of grime. There were no marble countertops, no expensive art on the walls. Just a rickety bed with a thin, patched-up blanket and a nightstand that wobbled when I placed my hand on it.“Who am I?” I muttered, my voice still rough and foreign.I stumbled to the only other piece of furniture in the room—a small wooden desk with a stack of papers and a cracked phone on it. The papers were receipts, bills, and a note scribbled in messy handwriting.“Leo—Rent overdue. Pay by Friday or you’re out.”Leo. That was the name scrawled across the envelope next to the note. My hands trem

Chapter 3: Fractured Memories

The exhaustion from my first day in Leo’s shoes lingered long after I left the factory. My arms ached, my legs felt like lead, and my back screamed with every step I took. I trudged down the street toward the apartment building that now passed for my home, clutching a brown paper bag filled with a half-eaten sandwich and a bottle of water—my “lunch” that I barely had the energy to finish.The streets were quieter now, bathed in the soft glow of streetlights. People walked past me, some laughing, others with their heads bowed against the evening breeze. I caught snippets of conversations, but none of them registered. All I could think about was how much my body hurt and how unfamiliar everything felt.When I finally reached the apartment building, the sight of it filled me with dread. The chipped paint, the broken windows patched with cardboard, the faint smell of trash in the stairwell—none of it felt like home. I climbed the stairs, each step a reminder of how far I’d fallen.Back in

Chapter 4: The Weight of Responsibility

The next morning arrived far too quickly, dragging me into a life I didn’t ask for. The dull ache in my arms from the factory work remained, and the restless night had left me feeling like I’d been run over by a train. Yet, the sound of muffled voices and hurried footsteps outside my room pulled me from bed.The reality of this life—the life of Leo Torres—hit me all over again. The smell of sweat and cheap detergent clung to my clothes as I dressed, and my stomach growled in protest. But there was no time to think about food. Something about this life demanded urgency, as if time itself moved faster for people like Leo.I stepped out into the hallway, where the usual morning chaos had already begun. A woman shuffled past with a crying baby on her hip, her face weary but determined. A group of kids bolted down the stairs, laughing and shouting as their parents yelled after them.It was a stark contrast to the cold, sterile silence of my penthouse life. The noise, the humanity of it all

Chapter 5: A Glimpse of the Past

The gnawing need to understand what had happened to me hadn’t faded—it had only grown stronger. I couldn’t keep living as Leo Torres without answers. Who had put me here? And, more importantly, why?The only thing I was certain of was that this wasn’t random. This life—Leo’s life—was too vivid, too real. But there was one thing I still had, one thing that connected me to my old life: my memories as Orion Kane.Back then, I had a kingdom—a multi-billion-dollar empire with my name stamped on skyscrapers, luxury developments, and business ventures that spanned continents. If I could just find my company, my world, maybe I could figure out how to escape this nightmare and return to what was rightfully mine.I left the apartment early that morning, the sun barely rising above the horizon. The streets were quieter than usual, the vendors just beginning to set up their stalls. My mind raced as I walked, turning over every memory I could recall of Orion Industries—the addresses of my offices,

Chapter 6: Shadows of Betrayal

Elliot Greaves had always been the loyal one—or so I thought. He’d been my right-hand man, the person I trusted with my company, my decisions, and even my secrets. Seeing him walk out of my building, confident and composed, only added to the burning questions in my mind. If anyone could help me understand what had happened, it was him.I followed him.It was easier than I expected, blending into the chaos of the city streets. His car weaved through traffic, sleek and imposing, while I lagged behind, ducking into alleyways and side streets to keep pace. The hustle and bustle of the city worked to my advantage, masking me in its noise and movement.Eventually, the car pulled up to an exclusive restaurant—a place I recognized instantly. It was where I’d held countless meetings with high-profile clients, the kind of place where a single glass of wine cost more than Leo Torres’s weekly wages.I waited across the street, watching as Elliot stepped out of the car and was immediately greeted

Chapter 7: The Path to the Truth

The days blurred together in a haze of frustration and mounting desperation. I couldn’t stop thinking about what I’d overheard at the restaurant—Elliot’s cold calculation, the way he’d brushed off the idea of my return, the mention of the Torres acquisition. Something was off, and I needed to understand exactly what was going on before I was completely buried in this strange, unfamiliar life.The thought of confronting Elliot head-on still felt too risky. I knew I couldn’t just waltz into his office and demand answers—not when I had no proof of who I really was. But there had to be a way to dig deeper, a way to uncover the web of lies that had entangled me.It was time to start asking questions, quietly.I spent the next few days around the city, visiting familiar places from my past—places that felt like echoes of the life I’d lost. I visited the old cafes where I used to meet with clients, the luxury hotels where I hosted high-profile events, and even the private office in the heart

Chapter 8: Ties That Bind

The more I learned about Leo’s life and Elliot’s betrayal, the more the world around me began to feel like a collapsing house of cards. It was no longer just about reclaiming my company or my name; it was about exposing the network of lies that had allowed Elliot to thrive while I was left in the shadows.I had learned the hard way that the world I once commanded was not as easily regained as I had hoped. Elliot’s empire was built on more than just business deals—it was built on secrets, manipulation, and calculated destruction. But as much as I wanted to tear everything down, something kept me tethered to this version of my life. Leo’s life. I couldn’t abandon him.Rosa’s words echoed in my mind. Leo was loyal to you. Those words made it hard to just dismiss Leo as a mere pawn in Elliot’s game. No, Leo had become something more. And if I was going to reclaim my life, I had to confront Leo, understand the man he had become, and unravel how his path had become so intertwined with mine.

Chapter 9: Shadows in the Light

Leo wasn’t lying when he said Elliot had eyes everywhere. The moment we started digging, it felt like the walls of the city itself had grown ears. Every step forward was met with whispers of resistance—doors slammed shut before we could knock, emails wiped clean before we could trace them. Elliot’s grip on the network of Orion Industries and beyond wasn’t just firm; it was suffocating.We started small, targeting the loose threads Leo had spent years identifying. Suppliers who had mysteriously disappeared, contractors who suddenly severed ties, accounts that didn’t add up—all breadcrumbs leading back to Elliot’s sprawling shadow.Leo and I sat in a dimly lit room on the outskirts of the city, poring over files and documents Leo had managed to salvage. The table between us was littered with printouts, handwritten notes, and maps with red circles marking key locations.“Look at this,” Leo said, pushing a folder toward me. “These accounts—Elliot’s been funneling money through shell compa

Chapter 10: A Narrow Escape

The echoes of footsteps grew louder behind us as we slipped through the Torres facility, the cold air heavy with the threat of discovery. My pulse thundered in my ears, the weight of the bag slung over my shoulder amplifying the stakes. Every scrap of information Leo and I had gathered was in that bag, and if Elliot’s men caught us, everything would be lost.“Keep moving,” Leo whispered, his voice barely audible over the distant murmurs of conversation.I nodded, following closely behind him as we darted through the maze of rusted machinery and broken conveyor belts. The factory seemed endless, its once-functional layout now a chaotic labyrinth of debris and decay.We rounded a corner and came face-to-face with a chain-link fence blocking our path. Leo cursed under his breath. “This wasn’t here before,” he muttered, his eyes scanning for an alternative route.I tugged on the fence, testing its strength. It rattled noisily, the sound reverberating through the cavernous space. “We don’t
