The Billionaire's Dilemma: where love and rivalry entwined

Sola_Lynx
She was supposed to expose him. Instead, she made him feel. Freya Davis is the type of woman who bites back. A sharp-tongued journalist with a caffeine addiction, and absolutely no patience for arrogant billionaires in dark suits – especially not ones who wake her up in silk sheets, smirking like they own the city. Arnold Connor is the definition of dangerous: Insanely rich, perfectly hot, and annoyingly used to getting what he wants – except her. Their first meeting? A disaster. She was half-dressed and hungover in his suite. He called her “slut” playfully. And she nearly threw a lamp at his face. Romance wasn’t on the menu. But when their paths keep colliding in boardrooms, headlines, and late nights filled with secrets, what starts as antagonism turns into something else. Something real. Something raw. Something that terrifies them both. Because Arnold has enemies. And Freya has her own. When betrayal hits, it’s not just careers on the line… it’s hearts. They struggle with hidden enemies, broken loyalties, forbidden passion, and the dark price of love in a world where everyone has a mask and nobody is safe. And when love finally demands truth, forgiveness, and the kind of courage money can’t buy... Will Freya choose safety over fire? Or will she risk everything to be the only woman who ever got close enough to ruin Arnold Connor — and love him anyway?

What if money was power? What if capital was magical? What if income was cultivation? What if a young man decided to destroy this unjust world of inequality and build a better one? That was exactly what Cæ (Cash) sought to do amid grief, anger, and hatred when he lost everything in an accident. Having come from nothing in the slums, his only goal had been to live a good life. By the age of twenty-two, he had finally managed to pull himself out of poverty with a decent job and romance. And then he lost everything he had ever built in an accident that left him in a coma for half a year. The world deprived him of the only person he had truly come to love. The predatory healthcare system burdened him with debt. The corrupt justice system deprived him of justice. The financial system robbed him of everything he owned. For the second time in his life, Cæ had been left with nothing. Well, almost nothing. The accident and the ensuing coma had altered his brain and mind, giving him an extraordinary talent for cultivating and mastering magic. He had been blessed with Acquired Savant Syndrome, a medical condition so rare that there were very few instances of it ever having occurred in history. It gave him endless potential and remarkable power. It gave him the power to destroy the world that he hated from the bottom of his heart. It gave him the power to destroy it and build a better one. And that was exactly what Cæ set out to do. --- This is my second novel, albeit my first time trying my hand at Royal Road. This story is centered around my desire to explore a story with a magical system centered around macroeconomics and politics. As the title suggests, this story will be centered around kingdom-building and progression fantasy. Romance is a coin flip. No smut. No harem. No systems. Hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it.
