That day at the funeral, his uncle had seemed ready to take him away. But in the end, he left him behind.

Not long after, the Yaeger family vanished. Word was they’d gone abroad. Before leaving, they handed over a massive portion of their assets to Johnathan—including private islands and family estates.

Johnathan had his doubts, even then. He’d contacted his uncle, but the man sounded irritated, especially when Johnathan asked to visit. He was flatly refused.

His uncle’s exact words: his grandparents were getting old. Burying their own daughter had left them emotionally shattered, and seeing Johnathan would only bring back painful memories. It was better not to visit–or even contact them.

At the time, Johnathan had just hit his teens. He was sensitive and easily affected. After being rejected like that, he never reached out again.

For years, those gifts were always received. He never questioned it–until today. A casual conversation had stirred up long- dormant suspicions.
