**Chapter 1: "Ethan's Soul Crushed - A Brother Lost Forever"**

Ethan's world imploded like a dying star, collapsing into an endless black hole of grief and agony. The words echoed in his mind like a haunting melody: "Julian's been murdered..."

*Flashback*

Ethan Blackwood, 20,lived a typical life with comforts surrounded around him. He was very close with his 3 brothers Lucas the reponsible oldest 24, Julian the charming second born is also 24 and liam the younger one is 21.Their parents had instilled strong family values, and they shared a tight bond that only grew stronger with each passing year.He loved roaming around with his brother Julian. So as usual him and I went to roam on our favourite cafe. Thats when on a random Tuesday that happened.

As he walked across campus on that fateful Tuesday, he felt a blooming flowers spring air and got a view of vibrant flower colors. He had just finished a psychology midterm exam and was looking forward to relaxing with Julian over pizza and a game that night.But something made him doubt that it isn't right? He mean Julian? With Victor? Something's wrong. Julian had texted him earlier: "Watching game with Victor's crew. Later, bro?" Ethan replied casually: "Cool, save me pizza."And started to look for him at their usual roaming place - cafe. But.. He wasn't there. Hours passed without further updates from Julian,So I started looking for Julian for more further places.

Little did Ethan know, his love and respect towards his brother would completely change his life.

*Present*

His brother, his confidant, his partner in every childhood mischief – gone. Forever silenced. Ethan's heart lay shattered, like fragile glass crushed beneath the weight of injustice. Tears streamed down his face like torrential rain, as if the skies themselves mourned Julian's passing.

He felt lost, abandoned, and consumed by a rage that threatened to incinerate his sanity. Every breath was a struggle, every thought a torment. Memories of Julian assaulted him – laughter shared, secrets whispered, dreams built together. Ethan's mind recoiled in horror, refusing to accept the brutal reality: his brother was dead by Victor Mitchell's hands. A name that would become synonymous with evil, fueling Ethan's obsession for vengeance.I knew it!!!!! That bitch.....

*collapsed*

As he collapsed onto the sidewalk, his brothers Lucas and Liam rushed to his side, their faces etched with mirror images of his own grief.
