"When your parents sold me off for two million and used the money to buy a big house, when the three of you lived in comfort under that new roof, did it ever cross your mind that I was family? When you used part of that money to study abroad and live it up, did you think for even one second that I was your kin?" Alistair's voice was sharp, his words like blades.

"You never could beat me, Caleb. Not once. Even when your family used the dirtiest, most despicable tricks to drag me through the mud, I still got back up. I won. And you? You'll always be the one who lost. That's the truth, one you'll never change."

He didn't wait for Caleb's reaction. One final glance at that defeated face, and Alistair turned and walked out of the hospital.

Before leaving, he had already spoken to the doctors. Caleb's condition wasn't looking good. If he survived the next forty-eight hours, it would be a miracle.

Honestly, that might be the easy way out for him. If he somehow pulled through, he'd be facing the full weight of the law, years of punishment for attempted murder. A lifetime of misery.

Alistair scoffed at the thought.

He used to resent Liam for caring more about his stepson than hist actual son. But back then, Alistair had blamed himself, thinking maybe he just wasn't good enough, or maybe he didn't behave the way a son should.

Eventually, when they cut ties completely, Alistair had a flash of suspicion. What if Caleb wasn't a stepson at all? What if he was Liam's biological child?

To find out, he quietly sent off hair samples from both Caleb and

Liam for DNA testing.

The results came back quickly. And he felt nothing.

By then, Alistair had already stopped expecting anything from Liam. Learning they were actually father and son didn't even make him flinch. It just made him feel sorry for his mother.

After she passed, and the haze of grief finally lifted, Alistair realized that Liam had erased every trace of her from the house. He claimed it was to avoid painful memories, that the living had to

move on.

But Alistair knew the real reason. He didn't want Celeste to feel uncomfortable. That was how little his mother had meant to him.

In the end, Alistair didn't even have a photo left. When the nights got long and quiet, he had to rely on memory alone to recreate her
