Hidden Heir: Rise of Lancaster

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?

The Mistress He Regrets Losing

For three years, Sienna loved a man who would never choose her. Alessandro Castellano kept her tucked away in his penthouse like a secret he was ashamed of—expensive gifts, whispered promises, and late-night confessions that felt real until morning came and he went back to his fiancée. Sienna told herself it was enough. That what they had was love, even if it lived in the shadows. She was wrong. The night she overheard him confirming wedding details with Vanessa, laughing about honeymoon plans while Sienna waited for him in silk lingerie he'd bought her, something inside her finally broke. Not dramatically. Not with screaming or thrown objects. Just quietly, like a door closing on a room she'd never enter again. When Alessandro walked in and saw her packed bags, he didn't believe she'd actually leave. "You'll be back," he said, so certain of his hold on her. "You always come back." But Sienna didn't come back. Six months later, she's not the same woman who cried in his elevator. She's built a life without him—a real career, real friends, therapy sessions that taught her she deserved more than crumbs from a man's table. She's even dating Dante Moretti, the charming businessman who looks at her like she hung the moon and doesn't hide her from the world. There's just one problem. Dante is Alessandro's biggest rival, and he knows exactly who Sienna used to be. Alessandro's perfect life, meanwhile, is crumbling. His marriage to Vanessa is a cold business transaction that leaves him hollow. Every woman he looks at reminds him of Sienna. Every night feels empty. He thought he could have it all—the socialite wife his family demanded and the woman who actually made him feel alive on the side. Turns out, you can't have it both ways. When he sees Sienna again at a gallery opening, transformed and glowing on another man's arm, something primal awakens in him. She's not his secret anymore. She's not his at all. And for the first time in his privileged life, Alessandro understands what it means to lose something irreplaceable. He'll do anything to win her back. Burn down his marriage. Destroy his reputation. Fight his own family. Prove he's not the same coward who let her go. But Sienna's not the desperate girl who waited by the phone anymore. She's found her power, her voice, her spine. And watching Alessandro grovel? There's a dark satisfaction in that she probably shouldn't enjoy as much as she does. The thing is, hearts don't follow logic. Chemistry doesn't care about self-respect. And when Alessandro looks at her with those desperate, hungry eyes and says, "I was a fool, and I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you"—part of her wants to believe him. Part of her still loves him. But love isn't always enough, is it? Not when trust is shattered. Not when Dante's offering her stability and devotion without games. Not when Alessandro's vengeful soon-to-be-ex-wife is determined to destroy anyone he cares about. Sienna has to choose: the dangerous, intoxicating man who broke her heart but might have actually changed, or the safer path with a man who's never made her cry. Except Dante has secrets too. And Sienna's about to learn that sometimes the person who seems perfect is just better at hiding their flaws. In a world of billion-dollar business deals, family expectations, and old grudges, Sienna's caught in the middle of a war she never asked to fight. Both men claim they love her. Both men want to possess her. But this time, Sienna's not anyone's prize to win. This time, she gets to decide her own worth. And whoever ends up with her heart will have to earn every single piece of it—because she's done giving herself away to men who don't understand what they have until it's gone.

以毒攻毒 — Fight Poison With Poison [BL]

Lin Yuhan died on a Wednesday. He burned in a car while the two people he loved most stood outside and watched -and the last thing he saw before the darkness took him was the man he had given everything to, turning away without a word. He woke up four years earlier. Same car. Same road. Same man in the driver's seat, cologne expensive and familiar, hands easy on the wheel. The date on his phone read June 28, 2018 - the day the lies began, the day the slow and careful dismantling of his life was already in motion beneath the surface of everything he believed was real. This time, he knows. He knows about the forged signatures and the offshore accounts. The charity funds that vanished under his brother's careful hands. The boardroom votes manipulated in silence. The years of gaslighting so precise and so patient that he had learned to apologise for his own pain - to make himself smaller, quieter, easier, until there was almost nothing left of him to destroy. Almost. Shen Mochen is the wealthiest and most dangerous man in the country. Brilliant, obsessive, and utterly convinced that what he wants, he keeps. For years he used warmth as a weapon and love as a leash - and Yuhan, who trusted him completely, never saw the bars of the cage until they had already closed. Now Mochen knows nothing. And Yuhan knows everything. What follows is not a simple revenge. It is a reclamation - quiet, surgical, and devastatingly precise. Move by move, account by account, Yuhan dismantles the future they built on his ruin and builds something they cannot touch in its place. He uses their methods. Their patience. Their ruthlessness. He fights poison with poison. The problem is that Mochen, realising something has changed, has turned the full weight of his obsession in Yuhan's direction. And some poisons, no matter how well you understand them, still find their way in. 以毒攻毒 — Fight Poison With Poison Dark. Obsessive. Inevitable.
