“You never wanted him. You had him because you thought it’d tie Ryan down. Lock in the good life. The house, the trips, the status. You wanted the perks, but not the boy.”
“Don’t look so shocked,” Thompson went on, voice cold now. “You said it out loud. Maybe not those exact words, but close enough.”
Ryan never forgot those words. They cut deeper than any knife, louder than any gunshot. His wife. His son. His whole life...
There are some things you can’t unhear. Some betrayals you can’t forgive.
Ryan records every confession. Every name. Every deal. The syndicate thinks it’s untouchable, but they’ve underestimated the man they stole from.
His son is finally home, and he is the key to uncovering a truth more brutal than the abduction itself: betrayal lives in his own house. Now, he isn’t chasing rescue. He’s chasing reckoning.
Father and son mirror each other’s rage, bound by scars and sharpened by betrayal.
This isn’t a rescue story. It’s a reckoning. And Ryan won’t stop until every last one of them pays.
