All Chapters of Reborn to take over the stage : Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

The anonymous note remained in Ethan's pocket long after the showcase ended.Even after he returned home, changed his clothes, and sat alone in his room, he couldn't stop staring at the wolf-head symbol drawn at the bottom of the paper.His mother's death.The words haunted him.For years, he had accepted the official explanation. The police had ruled it an accident. Family friends had offered their condolences. His father had refused to discuss it.And Ethan had been too young to question any of it.But now someone was warning him to stop digging.Which meant there was something worth hiding.A knock interrupted his thoughts.EthanRichard's voice came from outside the door.Ethan quickly folded the note and hid it inside his desk drawer.Come in.His father entered awkwardly, as though unsure how to speak to him.For several seconds neither of them said anything.Finally, Richard cleared his throat.You played well tonight.Ethan looked up.The compliment sounded strange coming from

Ethan stared at the dark window for several seconds before stepping away. His heart was beating faster than usual. Adrian had just connected the Wolf Society to his mothers death, and suddenly everything he thought he knew about his past felt like a lie. For years, Ethan had believed his mother died in a tragic accident caused by faulty brakes. His father had never allowed anyone to discuss it, and Ethan had eventually stopped asking questions. Now someone was threatening him because he had started looking into Jason. That could only mean one thing. Someone was hiding a secret.Ethan tried calling Adrian again, but the call went straight to voicemail. He called a second time. Nothing. Adrian had never behaved like this before. Ethan grabbed his jacket, copied the security footage from his computer, and left the house. He didn't tell Richard where he was going, and he certainly wasn't going to tell Jason.When Ethan reached Adrian's studio, something immediately felt wrong. The buildin

Ethan stood outside his father's study, staring at the closed door. His heart was beating hard, but he refused to turn back. For years, he had wanted to ask Richard what really happened to his mother. Now he finally had a reason.He knocked.Come in.Ethan opened the door. Richard was sitting behind his desk, going through some documents.I need to ask you something.Richard looked up.What is it?Ethan stepped inside and closed the door behind him.It is about Mom.Richard's expression changed immediately.We have talked about this before.No, Dad. You have told me to forget about it. That isn't the same thing as talking about it.Richard slowly put down the papers.Why are you bringing this up now?Because I found something.Ethan placed the old photograph on the desk.Richard stared at it.For several seconds, he didn't move.Where did you get this?It was in Mom's things.Richard picked up the photograph with trembling fingers.You shouldn't have this.Why?Because some things are

Ethan walked away from the music room without looking back. He could feel Jason's eyes following him, but he refused to react. If Jason was truly connected to the Wolf Society, showing suspicion would only make him more careful. For now, Ethan needed to become invisible. He entered an empty practice room and locked the door behind him. Then he took out his phone and opened the photograph of the list found on his mother's old phone. Jason's name was still there. But Ethan couldn't rely on one piece of evidence. He needed real proof that could not be denied.His phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Adrian.Do not trust anyone around you. I need to speak with you before the competition.Ethan immediately replied.When?The answer came almost instantly.Tonight. Same place. Come alone.Ethan put his phone away. The National Youth Music Competition was only days away, and everyone at school was preparing. The winner would receive a recording contract and a scholarship from one of

The video opened slowly, and Ethan held his breath as his mother's face appeared on the screen. She looked younger than he remembered, but the fear in her eyes was impossible to miss. She sat in a quiet room with several documents spread across a table.Ethan, if you are watching this, then something has happened to me.Ethan's fingers tightened around the edge of the desk.His mother continued.I don't know how much time I have left, so I need you to listen carefully. There are people who want to control the music industry. They don't care about talent. They care about ownership, money, and power. They steal songs from young artists and destroy anyone who tries to expose them.Ethan stared at the screen.His mother picked up a folder.I found evidence connecting them to several major companies. I also discovered that someone close to our family has been helping them.Ethan's heart began pounding.I don't know who it is yet. I only know that this person has access to information that
