## **Chapter 11 – Humiliation**
Adi didn't forget.
He may have apologized.
He may have knelt.
But he never forgave.
The shame burned inside him like acid. He replayed the moment over and over — how Kael had broken him down like paper. How no one said a word about it. How his own wife told him to let it go.
Let it go?
No.
He wasn't going anywhere.
And neither was this secret.
So he called in a favor.
An old friend.
A former soldier turned private investigator.
"I need something on him," Adi said.
His friend raised an eyebrow.
"Who?"
"That quiet brother."
His friend hesitated.
"You sure about this?"
Adi smiled coldly.
"Oh yeah."
