Chapter 289

From as far back as he could remember, Austin had lived in fear–walking on eggshells every single day.

He bore the Fraser name, but in that family, he was treated like dirt.

All because of how he was born.

His mother was a Yazven native, and his father, Jeremy Fraser, was a powerful, womanizing businessman.

On a business trip to Yazven, Jeremy had met Austin’s mother and been instantly captivated by her beauty. Austin had inherited most of his striking looks from her.

She was young, innocent, and easy to manipulate–Jeremy played her like a violin.

She didn’t realize he was married until she was already pregnant. Once she told him, he left without a word, save for a check he tossed at her as a goodbye.

Women in her position usually took the money and quietly terminated the pregnancy.

But not her. She kept the baby.

For the first three years of Austin’s life, she raised him on her own. Those were the happiest years he ever had.

Until Jeremy, bored or curious, suddenly remembered the beautiful girl he had once seduced in Yazven and came back to find her. That was when he discovered he had a son.

When Jeremy’s father, Edmund Fraser, found out, he ordered Jeremy to fight for full custody.

“The Fraser bloodline,” he’d said, “must not be left in the hands of outsiders.”

Austin’s mother didn’t stand a chance against the Fraser family’s wealth and influence. She lost the case, and Austin was forcibly taken to live at Fraser Villa.

From then on, he became a thorn in the side of Samuel and his mother, Margot Fraser. They hated him.

He lost count of the times they had tried to get rid of him, subtly or otherwise–times when it almost worked.

Eventually, Austin drugged himself to mimic symptoms of a rare illness. He faked a terminal condition just to get them off his back. And it worked. They backed off–for a while.

He could bear all of it.

What he couldn’t bear was what happened to his mother.

After losing custody, she fought desperately to get him back. But against the Frasers, she was powerless.

By the time Austin was eight, she was dead.

Died of heartbreak, they said. But Austin knew better.

The Frasers had driven her to the grave. Every single one of them had blood on their hands.

And one day, he would make them pay.

Lying in Cameron’s guest room, Austin stared up at the ceiling, eyes red with unshed tears.

He reached up and touched the scratch beneath his ear.

Chapter 289

Tonight, Samuel had hit him again. Over something trivial.

And this time, he’d thrown him out of the house completely.

Jeremy hadn’t said a word.

Edmund blamed Austin’s existence for every niisstep Jeremy had made, and Jeremy had never forgiven him for that..

Margot, always two–faced, acted sweet in public but wished him dead behind closed doors.

Walking aimlessly through the city’s crowded streets, Austin had found himself thinking about Cameron.
