Haunted by doubts, I searched my dad’s office and found the truth. Documents revealed the fire was caused by negligence in a building my adoptive parents owned. They had adopted me not out of love, but to cover their guilt and avoid a lawsuit. My entire life had been built on a lie.

I confronted my parents, then walked out. Daniel welcomed me in, offering comfort I never expected. Despite the pain, I gained something priceless a real connection with my brother. In the end, the truth shattered everything I knew but gave me back the family I lost.
