Chapter: PART 2: Episode 5Zaylien’s lips curled in disgust. “And you still haven’t learned manners.” For a moment, their eyes locked, old rivalry sparking between them like fire waiting for air. Derek’s smirk widened. “Manners? Coming from someone who doesn’t even have a proper family?” His voice dripped with mockery. “Tell me, Zaylien, how does it feel? No mother. Just two fathers. You must feel… different.” Zaylien’s jaw tightened. His hand clenched into a fist by his side. He stood slowly, his chair scraping against the floor. “Say that again,” he warned, his voice low and sharp. Derek leaned closer, unafraid. “I said—” But before he could finish, a voice cut through the tension. “What is going on here?” Both boys turned sharply. A teacher stood at the doorway, arms crossed. It wasn’t their own teacher, but one passing by, attracted by the noise. “You two,” the teacher barked. “Why are you still here? Everyone else is at the cafeteria. Do you think the rules don’t apply to you?” Zaylien an

Chapter: PART 2: Episode 4Zaylien got to the front of his class and paused for a moment. He sighed before reaching for the door handle and pushing it open.The room fell quiet instantly. Conversations froze as heads turned. Dozens of curious eyes locked onto him.The girls, especially, couldn’t hide their stares. Their whispers were quick and sharp across the classroom.“Who is that?”“He looks so… perfect.”“His hair, his uniform… he must be from money.”Zaylien pretended not to notice. His sharp gaze traveled around the classroom until it landed at the far end. There—Arden was seated comfortably, and right in front of him sat Carden.A genuine smile curved Zaylien’s lips. Finally, some familiarity.He walked through the aisle slowly, then pulled out the empty chair beside Arden and sat down.Arden turned, grinning wide. “Late as usual. First day of school and you still couldn’t wake up early?”Zaylien rolled his eyes. “I don’t see how that concerns you.”Carden chuckled from in front of them, not bothering

Chapter: PART 2: Episode 3“Grr… grr…” The alarm blared loudly beside Zaylien’s ear. His hand shot out blindly and hit the lampstand, knocking the alarm clock onto its side. The irritating sound finally stopped. “What an annoying thing,” Zaylien muttered, his voice still heavy with sleep. He rubbed his eyes and sat up, his messy black hair falling over his face. For a moment he sat still, letting his vision adjust. The curtains of his room were drawn, but soft sunlight slipped through the gaps, casting lines across his floor. His room smelled faintly of lavender from the scented candle his Papa always insisted on lighting for him before bedtime. With a sigh, Zaylien got up, dragging his feet toward the bathroom. He switched on the golden lights, squinting at his own reflection in the mirror. “Terrible,” he whispered to his sleepy face. Then he turned on the tap, splashed cold water on himself, and brushed his teeth. Soon after, the warm shower washed away the last traces of sleep. When he stepped out wrap

Chapter: PART 2 : Episode 2Zaylien pushed his chair back after breakfast, licking the last bit of jam from his thumb before standing. “I’ll be in the game room,” he said quickly, already halfway out the door. Lucien only smiled and shook his head. That boy never lingered long after meals. The sound of retreating footsteps faded, leaving the dining room quieter. Lucien stacked a few empty plates, but when he looked up, he noticed Zayn was still glued to his tablet. His husband hadn’t looked up once since Zaylien left. Lucien frowned.“Zayn,” he called softly and that earned him no response. He leaned across the table, snatched the tablet right from Zayn’s hands, and set it down with a firm thud. Zayn blinked in surprise, brows furrowing. “Lucien, what was that for?” Lucien crossed his arms. “For the past few weeks, you’ve been married to that screen. If it’s not your tablet, it’s your phone. You barely sit without checking something. Why are you so… distracted lately?” Zayn sighed, dragging a hand t

Chapter: PART 2: Episode 1“Grrr… grrr…”The alarm screamed on the bedside table, shaking Zaylien out of his dream. With a loud groan, he pulled the pillow over his head and tried to block out the sound. It didn’t help. The shrill beeping kept slicing through the quiet room.“Ugh, why so loud?” he muttered under his breath.Stretching out a hand, he fumbled for the alarm clock, slammed the button, and the noise finally stopped. Zaylien sighed in relief and sat up slowly, rubbing his eyes. His messy hair stuck in all directions, and he let out another groan before dragging himself off the bed.The bathroom tiles were cold against his bare feet. He brushed his teeth lazily, humming to himself, then turned on the shower. The hot water hit his skin, waking him up properly. Ten minutes later, he came out, wrapped in a towel, looking fresher and more alive.Standing before the mirror, he slipped into his clothes and took a long look at himself.“Not bad,” he said with a smirk, flicking his hair back.Zaylien was seve

The idea came to me, and I remember asking myself: “What kind of crazy idea is this? Will people even read it?

Chapter: Chapter 99: The Space Between Chapter 99: The Space BetweenThe wind rolled gently across the village, carrying the sound of ocean waves and the distant laughter of children playing. But Jonah felt none of that. He sat alone by the rocks near the water, the pendant clutched tightly in his fist. His elbows rested on his knees, his head down.He had been sitting there for hours.He didn’t cry. He didn’t speak. He just stared at the sea.He should have felt peace—this was where he always came to think. But now, everything felt wrong. The sea was too loud. The wind was too sharp. His breath felt like it wouldn’t settle right in his chest.He opened his palm slowly and stared at the silver pendant again. The letter "D" was carved in the center. He traced it with his thumb.Derek.That’s what they said his real name was.He shook his head hard, trying to push the thoughts away. But memories had started to come. Not clear ones—just flashes.A blue room. A voice calling his name. Laughter. Footsteps. Piano keys.He stood

Chapter: Chapter 98: The Truth In The Room Chapter 98: The Truth in the RoomThe sun sat high over the village, its warmth pressing gently on the rooftops and dusty paths. The breeze carried the smell of fried yam and roasted plantain, and the sounds of chatter and laughter drifted from the market. But Dominic’s heart was heavy.He stood quietly at the edge of the small clearing, staring at the familiar cottage. It looked exactly like he remembered from the surveillance images—mud walls, small windows, and a wooden porch shaded by overhanging trees. But now, he was here in person. This wasn’t a screen. This was real.Matteo stood behind him, holding the box with the silver pendant inside. He gave Dominic a light nudge.“You ready?”Dominic didn’t answer immediately. He took in a long breath, then nodded.They stepped forward.---Mama Sade was outside washing plates in a basin when she saw the two men walking up the path. She squinted, her eyes narrowing at first in suspicion. But as they came closer, something about the talle

Chapter: Chapter 97- The Arrival Chapter 97: The ArrivalThe sun rose slowly over the village, painting the sky in soft pink and orange. Roosters crowed in the distance, and smoke began curling from rooftops as families prepared breakfast. Life continued at its gentle pace. But something different was coming. Something the village didn’t expect.---A black SUV drove quietly along the narrow road leading into the village. It didn’t make much noise, but it still turned heads. Strangers in cars like that didn’t come here often.Inside the car, Dominic sat still, staring out the window. Matteo was beside him, holding a small box on his lap."You okay?" Matteo asked.Dominic didn’t look away from the window. "I don’t know. I thought I would be. But now that we’re here... I don’t know what to say."Matteo looked down at the box. Inside was a silver pendant. A simple circle with the letter 'D' engraved. Derek used to wear it every day."We’re not saying anything yet," Matteo said. "Let him feel. Let him see."Dominic nodde

Chapter: Chapter 96: A Day To Remember Chapter 96: A Day to RememberA week later:The morning sun spilled golden light across the village rooftops. Birds chirped gently above as fishermen prepared their boats, and the small schoolhouse stood quiet before the morning bell. For once, there was peace. A kind of peace Jonah hadn’t felt in a long time.He walked along the narrow path leading to the well at the center of the village. It was early, but Jonah had always liked mornings. He liked the coolness, the silence before the world got noisy. His sketchbook was tucked under his arm. He planned to sit by the trees and draw before school.As he neared the well, a sudden scream cut through the air."Help! Someone!"Jonah froze. It came from just around the corner. He dropped his sketchbook and ran.When he got there, a little girl named Emily was leaning over the edge of the well, crying."My sister! She fell!" she shouted. "She was playing and... and she slipped!"Jonah didn’t think. He rushed forward, dropped to his knees, an

Chapter: Chapter 95: Shadows In The LightChapter 95: Shadows in the LightThe day broke slowly over the city, golden sunlight spilling into the rooms of Dominic's mansion. But even the warmth of the light couldn’t shake the heaviness that hung in the air.Matteo stood by the balcony, watching the streets below. He had barely slept. The memory of finding Jax the night before kept looping in his mind—his best friend, thin, scared, but alive.Behind him, the sound of footsteps."You’re up early," Dominic said softly."Couldn’t sleep."Dominic joined him at the balcony, holding two cups of coffee. He handed one to Matteo."How’s Jax?""Still asleep. Leo stayed with him last night. They fell asleep in the same bed. Like nothing ever changed."Dominic gave a small smile. "Maybe for Leo, nothing ever did."Matteo looked down at the mug in his hand. "He really missed him. We all did.""Jax made mistakes," Dominic said. "But he paid enough. He deserves a second chance.""He thinks you hate him.""I don’t. I never did."Silence settle

Chapter: Chapter 94: Echoes Of The PastChapter 94: Echoes of the PastThe morning sun rose slowly over the city skyline, its golden rays spilling across the marble floors of Dominic's estate. The entire house seemed to hold its breath—quiet, still, like it was waiting. Dominic sat in his study, the heavy silence around him broken only by the sound of fingers tapping lightly on the polished desk.He stared at the paused frame on the monitor. A boy, standing beside a water pump in a small fishing village. The camera quality was poor, but Dominic knew. He didn’t need high resolution to recognize his little brother.“Jonah,” he whispered to himself. “Or Derek... still you.”Matteo stepped into the room, carrying a tray of coffee and toast. He placed it down without saying a word at first, giving Dominic space.“I already forgave you,” Dominic said quietly, without looking up.Matteo froze. “I didn’t say anything.”“You don’t have to. It’s written all over your face. Every day since that night.”“I didn’t mean to put him in dan
