Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general who brought down her family. But fate doesn't follow orders. Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything. A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body was thrown like a ragdoll, then darkness. She had a fleeting recollection of another world, another lifetime where kings ruled the land with an iron fist. But she woke up, and twelve long months had passed.  She did not know where she was or who she was. She remembered nothing. They told her different names. A child with trembling hope whispered, “Mommy, your name is Moira Torres.” Her doctor insisted, “Your admission slip says Larissa Reyes.” A hardened general leaned close and commanded, “Remember who you are. Remember your mission.” Then another general—dangerously calm, incredibly familiar—looked at her as if she mattered and asked, “Can I call you Lara?” The name unlocked something buried deep in her soul. Lara Norse Kromwel. Daughter of General Odin Norse. Empress of the First Empire. But the man who watched her most closely dismissed it with cold certainty. “This is the 21st century,” he said. “What nonsense are you spouting? What Empress? You are my woman. You can only be mine!"

She laughed with her rich friends… dared to use me like a toy. But the joke's on her now. When I got humiliated by the girl I loved, fate didn't hand me a second chance, it handed me a System. [Ding!

He moves lower, nipping at my neck, then my boobs, enveloping his lips around a pink nipple. I sigh in pleasure, my hands sliding into his hair and gripping hard as he bites down and then slips his mouth lower. And lower…….. My eyes fly open as he shoves my dress up to my waist and pulls my panties to the side. Suddenly, his mouth dives between my thighs, and when I feel his tongue drag up my slit, it’s like an electrical shock and my eyes roll back behind my head. Holy! FUCK!!.

“You need a wife.” She said. “What makes you think that you are cut out to be my wife?” Oliver asked. The smug smile on his lips was the only indication that he didn’t find her suggestion offensive. “I am not like any of the other women you’ve been with before, Mr. Morton.” Seductively, she let her fingers draw patterns across his chest. “Ms. Sophia, are you aware that you’re playing a dangerous game?” He asked, capturing her fingers that were busily tickling the five o’clock shadow along his jawline. “I am.” But really, was she? But this was not the time to back out now. To second-guess herself. “But are you brave enough to play my game?” She dared, looking him directly in the eyes. Without giving him time to react, she kissed him. Damn! She knew she should stop. This man was her enemy, but her body wouldn’t let her. She missed this. Being wanted. Being desired. Being... No! Not love. This was not love. Oliver saw her as an object. A beautiful woman to conquer, nothing more. And she should feel the same way. No! She could not fall back into his charms. Armed with this realization, she busily let her other hand wander off until she felt it. The hard, metallic weapon that he put aside. Grabbing it, she immediately placed it on his temple, mimicking his action earlier. Then, she gradually pulled her lips away. “Are you gonna kill me now?” The great Mafia Don asked, but she could not see any trace of fear in his eyes as he stared at her. Only curiosity. “No, as I said, I’m not like the woman you’re used to. I know what I want, and I get it.” She said confidently, while slightly pushing her body harder against his. Damn! Her body still responded the same way to him, just as she remembered it. “And what do you want, Ms. Sophia?” He asked, lifting his hand to cradle her chin gently against his fingers. But he never attempted to remove the gun she had placed threateningly against his temple. The most feared man in the city just sat quietly, watching her. “As I said, marry me?” *** Amelia Clarke might have been the curvy, nerdy girl who was constantly bullied and mocked by everyone, but she still won the heart of the Quarterback King.

As research executive of the largest corporation ever forged, he reigned above the clouds—amid floating cities, artificial skies, and infinite luxury. Yet beneath that flawless veneer lurked a truth history had deliberately erased. The poor were never helped. They were deleted.

In America’s most powerful business families, blood determines everything, well except for Alfred Lancaster. Born as the illegitimate son of the formidable Stanley family head, Alfred grew up inside the walls of unimaginable wealth but outside the circle of acceptance. To the world, Alfred didn’t exist. According to the Stanley family, he was a stain to be hidden. The only thing they ever offered him was distance and a monthly payment of $55,000 to keep him silent and invisible. Alfred was forbidden from using their legendary surname. But amidst all this family never realized was that Alfred didn’t need their name, he had something far more dangerous: A mind built for domination. Alfred was a genius in his own right, business and finance were second nature to him. From childhood, Alfred secretly studied global markets, corporate structures, and financial warfare. While the Stanleys ignored him, mocked him, and underestimated him, he quietly built something no one could see, an invisible fortune moving through layers of hidden investments and shell structures across the world. By his 18th birthday, Alfred Lancaster had achieved the impossible. $500 billion in liquid cash....Self-made.....Untraceable.....Untouchable. But on the very day he reached adulthood, the Stanley family revealed a truth that changed everything. Years earlier, Alfred’s late grandfather had forced his father to sign a binding contract requiring the Stanley family to shelter him for 20 years. Now that Alfred was legally an adult, his stepmother made their position clear: He had two years left before he would be expelled from the Stanley Mansion forever. To Alfred this meant two years of protection, access and opportunity. Most people would have panicked but not Alfred he actually smiled, because to him, the equation was simple: Two years + $500 billion = an empire. If he had to leave the Stanleys in two years… then he would leave as something they could never ignore again. From that day forward, the quiet illegitimate son they called a burden disappeared—and something far more dangerous took his place. Working silently from the shadows of the very Family that rejected him, Alfred began assembling the foundations of a hidden corporate kingdom. He acquired failing firms before anyone noticed their value, repositioned capital across continents, he also recruited brilliant minds loyal only to him and constructed a mysterious private consortium whispered about in financial and business circles but never fully understood: A.L. Consortium. Just a name with pure influence, fear and results but no face and no public owner. While the Stanley family believed they were raising a powerless cub waiting to be cast out, Alfred Lancaster was quietly becoming a predator watching from the dark. Within two years, he would leave their home, five years later, he would return to the world stage. And when he finally reveales himself, the truth would shake governments, corporations, and dynasties alike: Now the question isn’t whether Alfred Lancaster will rise. The question is : What happens when the Stanley family realizes the boy they tried to discard has become the force that can decide their fate… and the fate of nations?

It had been 6 years… 6 years of waiting by the window like a fool who he himself looked down upon. However, he was no longer the fool of the past.
