Chapter 11
Olivia slammed the music practice room door shut with a loud bang.Bam!The room was empty, leaving only the quiet drone of the air conditioner. She threw her bag onto the sofa, her face still filled with anger. "Damn it!" Her hand instinctively touched her left shoulder. The trace of Kaelan's push earlier that morning hadn't hurt physically, but it was enough to shatter her pride.The door opened again. Ryan Blackwood walked in with calm strides, then locked the door from the inside. "You're being too emotional."Olivia turned to him instantly. "Emotional? He pushed me in front of everyone, Ryan!"Ryan walked over without any rush. "And that made you lose control."Olivia gritted her teeth. "Kaelan was never like that. He always chased after me, always apologized even when I was the one in the wrong. Why has he changed now?"Ryan remained silent for a few seconds before his gaze turned cold. "That's what I'm thinking, too."Olivia began pacing back and forth. "I even, I mean, I even

The commotion in the campus courtyard slowly began to disperse. Dylan, Mason, and Carter were still blaming one another while picking up their scattered books, whereas Ryan held back a surging fury inside his chest. On the other side, Olivia stood frozen with a face that still struggled to comprehend what had just happened.Kaelan did not look back. To him, they had already lost any value even just to be glanced at.His steps were calm as he walked down the campus corridor toward the faculty building."Kaelan."A female voice called out from behind.Kaelan’s footsteps halted. He turned his head slowly. Lyra Whitmore stood a few meters behind him holding two books and a cup of coffee, her breathing slightly ragged as if she had walked fast to catch up to him."You..." Lyra stopped right in front of him, "...really have changed."Kaelan simply stared at her without expression. Lyra let out a small exhale, then offered a faint smile. "Looks like you finally realized it."Silence.Lyra sp

Ryan held back a smile behind his mask of deep concern. "Big Bro, if there's really a problem, we can talk it over calmly."Olivia chimed in with a soft nod, tears still hanging at the corners of her eyes. "Yeah, Kaelan... I really want to explain."Kaelan looked at both of them in turn. That gaze was so tranquil that it made Ryan even more uneasy. "I have nothing to talk about with you two."He stepped past Ryan. Scarcely two steps later, a shoulder slammed intentionally into his body. Thump.Kaelan stopped. Standing before him was Dylan Brooks alongside two of his friends, Mason Reed and Carter Hayes, all three wearing mocking smiles. "Well, well... look who decided to be brave," Dylan sneered, lightly patting Kaelan's chest. "I hear you're acting tough with Olivia now."Mason laughed. "And just yesterday he was like a dog following her everywhere."A few students began forming a small circle, well-accustomed to seeing Kaelan as the target of mockery. Ryan made no move to stop them;
Chapter 08
Morning sunlight had just begun to illuminate the Garrison family mansion grounds as Kaelan stepped out through the main door. A shabby bag slung over his shoulder; the wound on his temple was still covered with a thin plaster, while the bruises at the corner of his lips had not completely faded. He walked straight ahead without stopping or looking back.From a second-floor window, a pair of eyes watched him in silence. Evelyn Garrison gripped the curtains tightly."He didn't even say goodbye..." Her voice sounded faint.Behind her, Victor Blackwood stood calmly. "Let him be."Evelyn turned around. "Do you think he's still angry?"Victor smiled faintly. "A boy his age is just rebelling."Yet deep within his thoughts, Victor wasn't nearly as calm as his expression suggested.Kaelan... what happened to him? There's no way he could change overnight.Westbridge University was beginning to bustle with students. Small groups filled the campus courtyard, while Kaelan walked past the gates wi
Chapter 07
The bedroom door closed softly.Click.For the first time since returning to the Garrison household, Kaelan was truly alone. The room was silent. A thin mattress sat in the corner, a rickety study desk was piled with college textbooks, while an old wardrobe was nearly missing one of its doors. There were no decorations. No family photos. Even the small window above the bed allowed in only a meager sliver of light.Kaelan stood in the middle of the room, his gaze sweeping over every corner. So this is the room of the Garrison family heir.The corners of his lips lifted slightly. The place deserved to be called a storage shed rather than a bedroom.He opened the wardrobe, finding a few dull clothes hanging neatly. At the bottom was a box filled with trophies, medals, and academic certificates National Mathematics Champion, Physics Olympiad Winner, and Outstanding Student Award all buried under dust. Undisplayed. Hidden away.Kaelan closed the box again. He had no interest in those troph
Chapter 06
A tall black iron gate stood before Kaelan. The Garrison family crest was majestically engraved in the center, gleaming under the morning sunlight. The grand mansion behind the gate looked so luxurious that it would make anyone assume its occupants lived a flawless life.Kaelan stood still for a moment. His gaze traced the building stored in this body's memory with a flat expression a place that should have felt like home, yet felt far more unfamiliar than the alley where he had died last night.A day has passed since I disappeared. Did anyone look for me?A small laugh escaped his mind. His birth mother? No. His stepfather? Impossible. His stepbrother... Perhaps that man already thought Kaelan’s body was rotting in some corner of the city.Kaelan pushed the gate open slowly. Creak... The sound of iron echoed softly.Several servants sweeping the courtyard immediately turned their heads. Their eyes widened momentarily. "Y-Young Master Kaelan?"One of the servants hurried to open the m
