As I fought a stray dog for a loaf of moldy bread, distinguished guests arrived at the orphanage. They'd come to find the long-lost heir of a wealthy family. After confirming their choice, they donated $100 million to the orphanage and handed out chocolates to every child. My mouth watered as I reached for a box, but glowing messages flashed before my eyes. [Lawrence, show your locket! They're here to bring you home!] [Don't let that impostor steal your birthright. It's yours!] They revealed the truth: the elegant couple were my biological parents, and the poised girl beside them was my fiancée. Yet I clutched my chocolate and ran, aware of their true purpose: they'd come here just for the fake heir. Even if I revealed my locket, they'd not pay me any attention.

"Let's be honest. You're all reborn too, aren't you?" I said....The corridor fell into a deathly silence.My parents' expressions froze in disbelief. Catherine took a step back and covered her mouth.I continued, my voice cold, "From the beginning, I never thought about recognizing you or returning to this house. If not for Erik, would you have dragged me back like a stray? In our last life, you despised me, wishing we'd never meet again. Why, in this second chance, can't you let me go? Does chaining me, tormenting me, and letting Erik trample me delight you so much?"Footsteps echoed from the end of the corridor. Erik ran into our standoff, quickly donning his innocent mask. "Guys, what is going on here? Did Lawrence upset you?"Turning to me, he continued, "Apologize, Lawrence, before they punish you."I locked eyes with him, snapping, "Drop the act, Erik! You're reborn too, aren't you?"His fake smile cracked, shock flashing across his face, but he quickly recovered, his v

"Kid, I've said my piece. The choice is yours," Jordan said. "Follow me, and the road ahead will be full of peril. But I'll make sure you walk it with your spine straight. Stay or leave. Up to you. I'll give you three days to think about it. If you change your mind by then, I won't force you."He strode out of the hall without another look at the Gradys. His steps were resolute, his entourage trailing behind him....In the following days, my parents' attitude shifted in ways I couldn't comprehend.They moved me from the basement to a guest room, spared me from chores, and no longer treated me like a servant.The meals brought to me were suddenly lavish. They even arranged for a family doctor to examine my health.I didn't understand their sudden change, but I had no interest in their superficial kindness. My resolve to leave was unshaken.On the third evening, as I quietly packed my things, planning to leave early the next morning, a knock came at the door.I opened it with a

Jordan's gaze swept over Catherine like a hawk locking onto its prey. His voice wasn't loud, yet it echoed through the hall."Take back my words?" he snorted. "Even Ambrose, the mighty president of Grady Group, wouldn't dare make that demand. Who are you to try?"...His words struck Catherine like an invisible slap, draining her face of color. Her lips trembled, unable to form a response, and she shrank back.Erik stepped forward, wearing an expression of wounded innocence. He tugged at my parents' arms, his voice quivering with feigned guilt. "It's all my fault. I must have upset Lawrence, making him feel neglected. That's why he is acting out."The rims of his eyes reddened, teardrops glimmering on his lashes. "Lawrence, I know you envy their love for me, but I'm their son. They kindly took you in and sheltered you. Isn't that enough? Do you want them to treat you as their own and me to give up everything?"His manipulative words reignited my parents' anger. They compared his

...Jordan gave a faint smile, unperturbed by my parents' displeasure.He turned to an aide and ordered, "Get the boy clean clothes and treat his wounds.""Yes, sir!" The aide saluted crisply and carefully helped me up.The banquet hall buzzed with murmurs."Did I hear right? General Lynch is taking that boy?""To his elite unit? That's a rare opportunity only for the elite.""General Lynch is known for his rigor. Why pick a scrawny, battered kid?""Probably a whim. That boy is skin and bones. How will he survive military training? Even adults break there."The words stung, but they sharpened my resolve. This was my one chance, and I would seize it.Ambrose stepped forward, blocking the aide with a forced smile."General Lynch, we're grateful for your kindness, but this boy..." he paused, pointing at me. "He is frail, just a stray we took from the orphanage. He is weak and lazy, unable to handle your training. We provide for him and only let him do chores. If anything goes w
