Chapter 1

Samuel's POVAs I wiped away my tears, my voice trembled. "If you kept this secret for so long, why spill it now?"My best friend, Harley Smith, evaded my gaze and adopted a preachy tone. "After ten years as friends, I couldn't bear watching you stay in the dark forever."Besides, Xander really wants your blessing. He feels it wouldn't be complete without you witnessing it. Look, I've told you the truth. After today, stop playing the other man in someone else's relationship, alright?"Listening to Harley defend my twin brother, Xander Brooks, at every turn felt utterly ridiculous.So he still remembered we'd been friends for ten years.I had taken hits from street thugs for him and gotten him into a top company. I even arranged his girlfriend's job.And now he was calling me the other man.Ignoring him, I stared at the couple exchanging vows on stage, desperate to walk in and demand answers.But the second I reached the ballroom entrance, two burly guards blocked my way. "Sorr

Chapter 2

Samuel's POVMy older sister, Lilith Brooks, stepped out in her bridesmaid dress. Her brows knitted tight the moment she saw me.Behind her followed a massive crowd, every single face intimately familiar.There was my partner of five years, my best friend of ten years, childhood pals, and even the underprivileged student whose college tuition I'd fully funded.I was the only one standing alone.Clustered like knights around Xander at the center, they glared at me with guarded eyes as if I were the lone wicked villain intruding on their beautiful fairytale.I let out a self-deprecating laugh. "Yeah, I'm here. So are you going to call the cops and have me dragged away?"Lilith's expression stiffened. A flicker of discomfort crossed her face.Dad sighed in defeat and explained, "Samuel, don't blame Lilith. Her hands were tied. Xander's health is poor. If he'd known you were back early, it would've triggered another episode."Mom chimed in as well, "Exactly. You're his older broth

Chapter 3

Samuel's POVI turned and walked away, ignoring the whispers echoing behind me.When I tried to head home to pack my things, I found myself locked out.The fingerprint scanner flashed red repeatedly. It failed to open even after my fingertip turned raw from trying.Our neighbor, Lacey Olson, bumped into me on her way back from grocery shopping and offered a friendly smile. "Hey young man, how come you don't have that dog with you today?"I froze for a moment. "Ms. Olson, I don't own a dog."Lacey waved her hand dismissively. "That can't be right. I just saw you registering the dog's nose print on the lock yesterday. That pup was quite playful too, and your parents were right beside you, helping coax it."I stood rooted to the spot, my mind going completely blank.I was severely allergic to dog fur. Contact caused rashes, high fevers, and even anaphylactic shock.The one who adored dogs had always been Xander.Of course. How simple was that?To let Xander's dog come and go as

Chapter 4

Samuel's POVSeeing no further interference, the men dragged me by force into the dim underground garage.In the stairwell, one of the men had a wildly unhinged look in his eyes as the steel pipe in his hands came crashing down."How dare you run? Driving a Porsche while dodging debts, huh?"I couldn't tell how much time had passed. The ceiling blurred before my eyes as dull snaps of bones fracturing sounded and excruciating pain surged through my body.Once they finished venting, they yanked off my luxury watch and stole my wallet and phone.It wasn't until one of them noticed the puddle of blood beneath me that they fled in a panic.I struggled to lower my head, greeted only by blood pooled across the ground and my own mangled, deformed ribs.As the world spun wildly around me, it felt like I was being pulled back five years in time.My first meeting with Rosa was at the crosswalk by the campus gate, where a car ran a red light and nearly ran her down.I had thrown myself o

Chapter 5

Third-Person POVThe news report continued playing."City police have broken up an illegal money-lending ring involved in violent debt collection. The ring specifically hired psychiatric patients to execute violent collections and illegally seize property."The group has committed multiple offenses and severely beaten an innocent bystander on the day of the Thanksgiving holiday. According to the investigation, the victim had no outstanding debts. The suspects involved have been apprehended."Harley's hands began to tremble.Adam stood frozen as well. His voice sounded weak and uncertain as he said, "Wait, that's not right. Didn't Xander tell us that day that Samuel took out a loan shark debt and got cornered?"He told us to just stay out of it so Samuel wouldn't ruin the wedding. So why is the news saying he didn't owe any money?"Just then, Lilith received a phone call. As she listened, her face turned instantly pale.With bloodshot eyes, she rushed over and delivered a sharp

Chapter 6

Third-Person POVRosa's hands trembled as she held the lease termination agreement.She dialed Samuel's company.The receptionist answered politely, "Mr. Brooks finalized his resignation a week ago.""Where did he go?""We're not at liberty to disclose that."The line went dead.Rosa sped straight to the police station.The officer on duty pulled up the police report from that day and glanced up at her. "Are you a family member of the victim?""I'm his fiancee."The officer slid a copy of the police report across the counter toward her."The victim was dragged into an underground garage by a psychotic debt-collecting gang. He was assaulted and robbed. By the time he reached the hospital, his spleen had ruptured, and he was already in hemorrhagic shock."Rosa's eyes scanned the document line by line, suddenly freezing on a specific passage."Medical examination confirms the victim suffered three broken ribs and internal bleeding of the spleen. A critical condition notice wa

Chapter 7

Samuel's POVAutumn in Cyrenth arrived earlier than expected.Bundled in my coat, I sat in a corner of the architecture institute, organizing blueprints.Outside the window, most of the sycamore leaves had turned yellow under the faint sunlight.It had been two weeks since I moved to Cyrenth.My mentor, Lauren Hunt, didn't ask why I suddenly changed my mind. She simply handed me the keys to her spare apartment."Get settled in first. No rush. Focus on resting up before getting back to work."She probably noticed I was in rough shape, so for the first few days, she assigned me only basic support tasks.Although losing my spleen left me weaker than before and my wound still throbbed with a dull ache, it was a massive improvement from the day I stepped off the plane.That day, a cab driver had to support me into the emergency room for a follow-up.Seeing my pale face and the cold sweat beading it, he obstinately refused to let me pay the fare.A total stranger in Cyrenth showed

Chapter 8

Samuel's POVAnother week went by.I thought they would gradually give up.Yet when I returned from the institute that evening, a figure was standing outside the apartment building.It was Mom.She looked noticeably thinner than the last time I saw her. Her eyes were swollen and red, and she was carrying a thermos in her hands.The moment she caught sight of me, she stumbled forward a step. "Samuel—"I stopped ten feet away, refusing to step any closer. "How did you find this place?"Mom wiped her tears, her voice deeply raspy. "Your mentor wouldn't tell us. Your dad had to ask around your old classmates to get this address."I made your favorite pumpkin soup. You're out here all alone, and your body suffered such severe injuries. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been biased, and I shouldn't have helped Xander hide things from you."When she took another step forward, I took a step back.Mom froze.I looked at her and replied calmly, "Mom, back when you faked a heart condition t

Chapter 9

Samuel's POVRosa had clearly been waiting for a long time.Several empty coffee cups were scattered outside her car window. Her usually immaculate hair was a mess, and her eyes were bloodshot.The second she saw me step out, she practically scrambled out of the car. "Samuel."I pulled my gaze back and started walking toward the bus stop.She hastened to follow, staying exactly one step behind me.She didn't grab me or block my path. "I know you don't want to see me. But there are things I have to tell you in person."I didn't slow down.As she followed beside me, her voice dropped low. "You were the one who saved me that day. I had the wrong person all along. If only I'd asked for your name back then, none of this would have happened."I paused and cast a glance at her.Under the morning light, her face looked drained and exhausted. It was a far cry from the spirited woman who stood before me five years ago, promising to protect me.I spoke in a flat tone. "And?"Rosa froz

Chapter 10

Samuel's POVIn the days that followed, they stopped showing up downstairs. Yet their traces remained everywhere.Every few days, another letter would land in my mailbox—sometimes thick, sometimes thin, in varying handwriting.I didn't open a single one. Instead, I gathered them for a week before throwing them away all at once.The research team's group email occasionally received messages bearing my name from Lilith.I set up an automatic filter to route them straight to the bin.The only moment I felt a flicker of hesitation was when a package arrived from my hometown.Opening it, I found my childhood photo album inside. A note written by Dad was tucked into the first page. "These belong solely to you. We've lost too much, but at least we can return this."I flipped through a few pages.There was a photo of me riding on Dad's shoulders at three years old and another of Mom smiling broadly beside me when I won an elementary school award.Back then, Xander hadn't been diagnos
