All Started With A Case
Ten years. A decade stripped away behind concrete and steel, all because of a lie whispered on the stand. He walked out of the prison gates not as the promising, middle-class boy who loved his girlfriend, but as a ghost, a man aged by undeserved vengeance, his only compass the memory of that last, glittering high school prom. He remembered the police lights bleeding into the carnival music, the whispers turning into screams, and the feel of the cold steel bracelet snapping around his wrist. He was framed for the murder of the girl he adored, a perfect life shattered by the cruel, calculated perjury of one man: Professor Paul. The city had changed, but He hadn't. He'd just become sharper, quieter, and infinitely more dangerous. The debt was due. Professor Paul was finally going to pay for the decade he lost. The plan was simple: leverage. The most precious commodity, his daughter. His freedom, still tainted by a decade of prison grime, was now tethered to the very family he intended to destroy. The game was no longer about kidnapping. It was about the truth, and the cost was going to be everything. The final reckoning starts now.Complete
