LOGINChapter 131Ethan's POV The moment the man stepped into my father's study and saw the old photograph lying on the desk between Sophia and me, I noticed the change in his face so quickly that I almost wondered whether I had imagined it, because for several years I had known him as someone who could remain calm in almost every situation, yet the man standing in front of me suddenly looked as though he had been dragged back into a memory he had spent his entire life trying to forget.His eyes remained fixed on the photograph for far longer than they should have.The color slowly disappeared from his face.His hand, which had been resting on the door handle, tightened slightly.Sophia noticed it too.I could feel her body becoming tense beside me, although she remained completely silent as her eyes moved from the man to the photograph and then back to his face.For several long seconds, nobody spoke.The silence inside the room became so heavy that even the quiet sound of the clock hangin
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTYEthan's POVI remained in my father's study long after the house had become completely quiet because the date circled in red on the old journal had changed something inside me, and although I had spent the last few days searching for answers, I suddenly understood that I had been looking at the wrong part of the story because I had been searching for the person who wanted to destroy my family without first understanding what had happened to create the hatred in the first place.Sophia was still sitting across from me, carefully studying the old newspaper clipping while I continued staring at the journal.The same date appeared on both documents.The same day.The same year.The same accident that had somehow remained buried inside our family's history for so many years."I don't understand," Sophia said quietly as she looked between the two papers, "because if this accident was so important, why did your father never tell you about it?"I slowly shook my
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINEEthan's POVThe house gradually became quiet as the evening settled over everything around us because the excitement that had once filled every corner of the home had long been replaced by peaceful silence, and for the first time in many days, nobody was running through the hallways, nobody was raising their voice, and nobody was asking difficult questions that none of us were ready to answer.After dinner, Willy, Alex, and Lexa had fallen asleep much earlier than usual because the past few days had been just as frightening for them as they had been for us, and watching them sleep peacefully reminded me how close I had come to losing everything that truly mattered.I stood outside their bedrooms for several moments.Willy had wrapped both arms around the stuffed bear Sophia had given him.Alex was sleeping with a book lying open across his chest because he had insisted on reading before going to bed.Lexa had fallen asleep while hugging her favorite
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHTSophia's POVEven after we left the study, I could not stop thinking about the letter Ethan's father had written because every word stayed in my mind as though it had been written only yesterday, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was still missing from the story he had tried to leave behind.The letter was honest.It was filled with regret.It carried the voice of a father who wanted to protect his son even after his own death.Even so, it felt unfinished.It was almost as though he had wanted to explain more but had run out of time before he could write everything that was in his heart.That feeling refused to leave me.Ethan had gone upstairs to spend some time with the children because Willy would not leave his side for more than a few minutes, and seeing the four of them laughing together for the first time in days made me realize how badly our family had needed a quiet moment.I smiled as I watched them from the h
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVENEthan's POVThe photograph remained in my hand throughout the drive home because no matter how many times I looked at the familiar faces standing beside my father, my mind refused to accept what my eyes were seeing, and every memory that had been buried beneath the passing years slowly began returning one after another until I could no longer separate the past from the present.Sophia sat quietly beside me without asking any questions because she understood that there were moments when silence offered more comfort than words ever could, and I was grateful that she did not pressure me to explain thoughts that I was still trying to understand myself.When we arrived at the house, the children ran toward us with excited smiles.Willy wrapped his arms around my waist. "Daddy, are you feeling better now?"I smiled and gently rested my hand on his head.b"I am feeling much better because I have all of you waiting for me."Alex looked at me carefully. ",Yo
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIXEthan's POVThe room remained silent after Victor promised to tell us everything because even though we had spent weeks searching for answers, the moment when the truth finally came close felt heavier than I had expected.For so long, we had been chasing shadows.Every clue had created another question.Every answer had opened another mystery.Now, sitting across from the man who had been connected to everything that had happened to my family, I found myself wondering whether knowing the truth would finally bring peace or whether it would only reveal another painful memory that we were not prepared to face.Victor kept his eyes lowered for several moments before finally speaking."The person who contacted me never wanted me to know too much."Breed immediately focused on him."What does that mean?"Victor slowly looked up."It means I was never part of the whole plan.""I was only given pieces.""Enough information to make me believe I was doing the
