Chapter 1 38

Ethan gently placed Liam at a safe distance before turning back towards the burning building, his heart pounding with worry. “Derrick! Derrick!” he yelled desperately, hoping for any sign of his friend.

“I don’t think you should,” a calm voice interrupted Ethan’s frantic calls. He turned to see a man standing nearby, his expression grave.

“Derrick’s still in there,” Ethan explained, his voice strained with emotion.

“I know. He’s gone. He’s dead now,” the man informed him with a somber tone.

“How did that happen?!” Ethan demanded, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief as flames engulfed the structure.

“That explosion was meant for both of you,” the man explained matter-of-factly.

“What?!” Ethan exclaimed, his mind reeling with the revelation.

“Yes. But you got out just in time,” the man confirmed, his gaze fixed on the burning wreckage.

“He yelled at me to leave,” Ethan whispered, his voice trembling with the weight of the realization. His old friend, whom he had just found alive, was now truly gone.

“It seems he changed his mind, probably when this child ran inside,” the man surmised, his tone heavy with sorrow.

“So, I would have been caught in the explosion?” Ethan whispered, still grappling with the enormity of the situation.

“Yes, both of you,” the man confirmed, his expression filled with regret.

“He did all of that and even kidnapped Liam to end it all that way?” Ethan asked, his anger simmering beneath the surface.

“Derrick was dying,” the man explained softly, his eyes filled with sympathy. “He didn’t have much time left, and he didn’t actually want to hurt the kids. He took Liam because

he wanted some company during his last days.”

“He’s been alone,” the man added, his voice tinged with sadness.

Ethan took a step back, his thoughts swirling amidst the chaos and destruction. “Who are you?” he asked the man, his voice tinged with curiosity.

“Alfred. I work for him,” the man replied

“…. Used to.” He corrected himself his gaze distant as memories flooded his mind.

As Ethan stood there, lost in thought, he felt a small tug on his sleeve. Looking down, he met Liam’s questioning gaze.

“You’re really my daddy?” Liam asked, his eyes wide with wonder.

Liam smiled brightly before turning his attention back to the burning building. “Is he gonna be okay?” he asked, his concern evident in his voice.

“Everything will be fine,” Ethan assured him, holding him close. “Let’s go see Daisy.”
