Chapter 0113

After hours of brooding in his study, Leonard made a difficult decision: He would send Peter to Galea, to an internment school for troubled youth. Without a word, Peter was pulled from his room, still in his pajamas, and taken to the institution. From that moment, Peter wouldn’t see his father again until years later, at a family meeting called by Catherine.

Catherine had pleaded with Leonard to bring Peter back, but Leonard knew that if Peter returned, his future in Valeria would be ruined. No school would accept him, and the opportunities available to him would vanish. Leonard chose to be the villain in his son’s eyes, believing it was the only way to protect

him.

At the internment school, Peter met all kinds of peers, from those who were deeply troubled to those who were simply misguided. He learned from them, adapting to life without his father or brother. Occasionally, he missed Catherine, Emma, and Matthew, but his time alone taught him resilience and responsibility.

During his university years, however, the weight of everything he had endured began to take a toll on his mental health. The once rebellious boy grew quieter, more withdrawn, until one day he decided to end it all. He took sleeping pills with whiskey and lay down to die. A roommate found him and alerted Catherine, who was preoccupied at the time with Marcus’s recovery.

Peter made Catherine promise never to tell his father about the incident, and Leonard never learned how close he had come to losing his youngest son.
