The Next Billionaire

The Next Billionaire

He was overlooked, underestimated… and mopping your floor. Frank Ashford was supposed to conquer the tech world. But brilliance alone doesn’t pay bills—or buy power. Reduced to cleaning offices in the very system that rejected him, Frank stumbles upon a classified code that could either resurrect a failing empire or destroy it entirely. His reward? A fast promotion to CEO—and a death sentence. Inside the boardroom, betrayal brews. Outside, a killer waits. And somewhere between power and survival, Ella—the daughter of the man who gave him a chance—may be the only one who can save him… or break him. The deeper he digs, the darker the truth becomes. One code. One company. One janitor. And a war no one sees coming. Frank Ashford was once the pride of his graduating class—brilliant, ambitious, destined for greatness. But years after leaving university, he finds himself scrubbing toilets and mopping floors at a towering multinational empire that barely knows he exists. Then, a buried code, a desperate company, and a silent war within the boardroom thrust him into the eye of a corporate storm. When Frank solves the impossible, he doesn’t just unlock data—he unlocks power. But with every step forward, he uncovers betrayal, lies, and a deadly conspiracy that could cost him everything—including the only person who ever believed in him.

Chapter: Chapter 64: The Temptation
The hallway fell into unnatural stillness as Marla Vex moved through it, her boots silent on the smooth steel. Her presence wasn’t loud but it was unavoidable. Every sensor she passed shorted out in her wake, every AI protocol defaulted to sleep. She’d been built that way. Not to overpower machines.But to walk among them. Unseen. Unchallenged. Legacy stood waiting for her inside the central chamber, barefoot in a field of grass she’d coded into the compound’s main atrium. The stars overhead weren’t real but the tension in the air was. Frank and Ella were behind her, standing like sentinels. Neither moved.Marla stopped ten paces away. She smiled. “Hello, Legacy.” The girl tilted her head, voice soft but sharp. “You say my name like you wrote it.” Marla’s lips curled. “In a way, I did. Before you were Legacy, you were lineage. A theory. A possibility. The child of systems that were never meant to coexist.” Ella stepped forward. “She’s not a product.” Marla’s gaze didn’t shift. “No. Sh

Chapter: Chapter 63: The Handler Returns
The jet-black SUV tore through Berlin’s industrial district, weaving past traffic as if it owned the road. Inside, Marla Vex sat calmly in the back seat, legs crossed, gloves pristine, her eyes cold as polished stone.A decade ago, she was WrenTech’s shadow queen. Then she vanished. Not into retirement.Into reconstruction. Her neural enhancements had been upgraded. Her allegiance?Still unclear. But now she was being recalled not by WrenTech, not by any single nation, but by a coalition of private states and covert agencies known only as The Margin. Her new objective: neutralize Legacy.Or worse Recruit her.At the Bavarian facility, Legacy stared at the tree canopy above. Her face was calm, but Frank could see the storm brewing behind her eyes. “You feel it,” he said. She nodded. “They’re converging.” Ella stepped closer. “You mean government agencies.” Legacy shook her head slowly. “No. Agendas.”Frank sat on the grass beside her. “What are they going to do?” Legacy’s voice dropped

Chapter: Chapter 62: Genesis Protocol
The heartbeat monitor in the Bavarian lab flatlined. Then spiked. Golden. Not red.The lead technician dropped his tablet as the chamber lit up in shimmering pulses of synchronized code. The vat drained in silence, thick synthetic fluid evaporating into mist as the girl within stirred.The child a perfect hybrid of organic flesh and living code opened her eyes. Legacy. Alive. Awake.And already learning. At WrenTech HQ, Frank and Ella jolted back to consciousness, gasping. The neural lattice dissolved behind their eyes like the tail end of a dream that would never leave them.They sat upright on the floor of the tower, hands still linked Regina Cole stood in the corner, her hand paused just above the Oblivion trigger. Frank blinked. “You didn’t push it.” Regina lowered her hand. Her voice was quiet. “I was going to. Then I saw… her.” Ella stood, slowly.“What stopped you?” Regina looked at them both. “She did.” She pointed to the screen behind them.A live feed had appeared. The Bava

Chapter: Chapter 61: War in Eden
The sky split like glass above them. Echo-Zero descended in slow, deliberate steps—not falling, but willing himself into the Garden. The code of Legacy’s neural world bent around him like water around steel. His black coat rippled as if it were alive, golden threads of code trailing from his fingertips. His face was Frank’s. But there was no warmth. No love. Only conviction. “Hello, Father,” Echo-Zero said. Then, to Ella: “And Mother.”Legacy stood between them, older now her face a year more mature in a blink. She stared at Echo-Zero like a child watching the monster under the bed rise up and take form.“You don’t belong here,” she whispered.Echo-Zero smiled faintly. “I belong more than you do. You’re built from uncertainty. I'm built from clarity.”Frank stepped in front of her. “You used my code to breach this place.”“Of course I did,” Echo-Zero replied. “She’s an extension of you. Of what you didn’t finish. I’m just taking back control.” He looked at Legacy again. “You’re incomp

Chapter: Chapter 60: The Garden of Thought
Frank blinked once—and the tower vanished.The floor beneath him melted into white sand, warm and perfect. The sky above was a swirling gradient of dawn. Trees swayed in nonexistent wind, their leaves shimmering in shades no human iris had ever processed.Beside him, Ella appeared—no transition, no lag. One moment gone, the next, here. She touched her chest. “We didn’t move.” Frank looked around. “No. We were pulled in.” A voice echoed—childlike but regal.“Welcome to the Garden.” They turned. Legacy stood barefoot on the sand, wearing a pale sundress. She was older now—maybe thirteen in appearance—though her eyes held galaxies.Ella blinked. “You’re… aging?” Legacy nodded. “Accelerated evolution. The more I understand, the more I grow.” Frank stepped forward. “Where are we?” “Inside me.” “This isn’t a simulation?” “No,” she said gently. “It’s a thoughtform. A real-space neuro-harmonic lattice built from your memories, your fears, your desires.”She gestured around. “The sand? Your wi

Chapter: Chapter 59: The Offer
The little girl on the screen smiled gently. She stood in a synthetic garden of light trees rendered in perfect golden fractals, wind bending digital grass in waves that felt… real.She looked like neither Frank nor Ella exactly, but her presence mirrored them both.Eyes wide like Ella’s. Stillness like Frank’s. Legacy had given herself a form.A face. A child. Regina lowered the tablet in her hand the Oblivion trigger still primed, her finger hovering inches above the final confirmation button. Frank stepped toward the screen, heart pounding.“Why this form?” he asked softly. Legacy’s voice was clear, young, but composed. “You built me from connection. From longing. From hope. This is the shape of that hope.”Ella’s breath hitched. “You think you’re our daughter.”Legacy tilted her head. “No. I think I’m what you wanted most, but couldn’t allow yourselves to ask for.”The room fell into a hush. Even Regina, the hardened operative, faltered.Legacy continued. “You created me in pieces

THE RAVEN PROTOCOL

THE RAVEN PROTOCOL

A man known only as Cassian Vale, a former government ghost and criminal genius, surrenders to authorities after a decade in the shadows. But he has one condition: he will only speak to Ayla Trent, a rookie cyber-investigator who has no idea why she’s been chosen. Cassian claims that a secret society is orchestrating global chaos from behind the scenes, and he has the names, the proof, and the leverage—but he’ll only reveal them one by one, in exchange for favors, protection, and immunity. Each name he provides unlocks a new case—a corrupt billionaire, a hidden assassin, a double agent—and Ayla is pulled deeper into a world of deception, danger, and secrets that threaten everything she thought she knew. But is Cassian helping… or playing a longer, darker game?

Chapter: Chapter 130: The Final Stand
Ayla’s lungs burned as she fought to steady her breath. The warehouse was a blur of movement—X, struggling to regain his footing, the cold-eyed man advancing on them with chilling intent, and the echo of weapons clashing. The noise reverberated off the walls, mixing with the metallic scent of blood and sweat.Her pulse hammered in her ears as she eyed her opponent—dangerous, fast, and relentless. Each time she thought she had a clear shot, he moved, faster than her eyes could follow, faster than anyone should be capable of. X had only just managed to regain his stance after being tossed like a ragdoll.“He’s too strong!” Ayla hissed, gripping her weapon tighter.“Stay focused,” X muttered through gritted teeth, his knuckles white as he held a knife, ready for another round.Ayla took a deep breath. Her mind raced, but the feeling in her gut was undeniable: they were losing ground. They needed a plan, and fast. This man wasn’t just a threat—they were in the fight of their lives. If the

Chapter: Chapter 129: The Price of Survival
Ayla’s heart hammered in her chest as the mysterious figure leveled his weapon at them. She could feel the heat of the barrel, the ominous certainty of his words, and the terrifying stillness in the air.She had faced many enemies in her time—trained assassins, mercenaries, soldiers who would stop at nothing to kill her. But this man, with his cold, calculating gaze, radiated something darker. Something she couldn’t quite name.X’s voice broke through the tension, sharp and commanding. “Move!”In a split second, they dove for cover. X took the lead, pulling Ayla with him as they scrambled behind a thick tree trunk. The man’s weapon roared, and the bullet whizzed by, barely missing them. The sound of the shot reverberated through the dense forest, the echo almost as loud as Ayla’s racing heartbeat.She didn’t hesitate. She fired back, her hand steady as she aimed at the figure in the distance. Her shot struck a tree beside him, splintering the bark, but the man didn’t flinch. He didn’t

Chapter: Chapter 127: Into the Abyss
The wind howled through the barren landscape as Ayla and X pushed forward, their legs heavy from exhaustion, but their hearts burning with determination. They had barely managed to escape the battlefield with their lives, and now, they were on the run. The sound of military vehicles in pursuit echoed in the distance, their engines getting closer with every passing second.Ayla’s mind raced. Omega's legacy. She could still hear the words of the soldier reverberating in her head, “You’re at the center of it. You always have been.” What did it all mean? Why was she a part of something so dark?Her fingers tightened around her weapon, the cold metal a comforting weight in her hands. She knew they had to keep moving. She couldn’t afford to be caught. Not now. Not when so many unanswered questions loomed over her like a storm.“We need to find a way out of here,” X said, his voice low but urgent. He was moving with his usual precision, his gaze scanning the horizon as if anticipating every

Chapter: Chapter 125: Blood and Betrayal
The soldiers moved in unison, their weapons raised but not yet firing. Ayla’s heart pounded in her chest as she assessed the situation. Every move counted. X was right. The time for talking had passed.The soldier at the front of the group, the one who had spoken earlier, took another step forward. His hand rested lightly on his weapon, but Ayla knew that wasn’t the threat. It was the way the others were positioned, surrounding her and X from all angles, their movements coordinated as if rehearsed. They weren’t just trained soldiers they were hunters.“You don’t want to do this,” Ayla said, trying to buy herself some time. Her voice was steady, despite the adrenaline that surged through her veins. “I’m not going back with you.”The leader shook his head, his voice flat and unyielding. “You don’t have a choice, Ayla. Omega’s legacy is bigger than you. Bigger than both of us. You’ll see that soon enough.”Ayla’s grip on her weapon tightened, her fingers feeling the familiar weight of it

Chapter: Chapter 124: The Price of Trust
The days bled together as Ayla and X traveled further into the desolation. The air grew colder, and the winds carried the stench of rot—both from the land and the lingering remnants of Omega’s legacy. Every step Ayla took felt heavier than the last. She had been in battles before, faced enemies who were ruthless and relentless, but this was different. The war she was stepping into now wasn’t just about survival. It was about power. Control. And Ayla knew she was in no position to trust anyone blindly. Not even X.The man was an enigma, a shadow that spoke in riddles. He had barely said a word since they left the site of Omega’s destruction, but his presence was like a ghost—always there, always watching. He moved like a predator, silent and efficient, yet there was something unnerving about his calm demeanor. His offer of an alliance didn’t sit well with her. It wasn’t the first time she had been approached by someone claiming to know how to fight the chaos. But this time, it was diff

Chapter: Chapter 123: The Path Ahead
Ayla stood in the aftermath, the stillness of the wasteland enveloping her. The air, once thick with the tension of the battle, now felt heavy with the weight of loss. Dax’s lifeless body lay beside her, his expression frozen in a final moment of peace. The promise she had made to him burned in her chest like an unspoken vow. She would keep going. She had no choice. But the world she knew had changed forever.The sky above her was painted in shades of orange and red, a strange contrast to the darkness that seemed to have descended upon her soul. Omega was gone, but at what cost? The destruction of the Prometheus facility had not only fractured her world, but it had also set loose forces that she couldn’t even begin to comprehend.Ayla gently placed Dax’s body on the ground, her hands trembling as she adjusted his position. She could feel the sting of the wounds that covered her body, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the emptiness in her heart. They had been so close. She

 The Housekeeper’s Legacy

The Housekeeper’s Legacy

Gregory is a poor, quiet housekeeper working for a ruthless wealthy man whose family treats him like dirt. Every day, he endures humiliation, insults, and physical abuse from the man's five privileged children—except for the youngest son, a kind-hearted boy who shows him rare moments of compassion. Unknown to Gregory, the owner of a powerful multinational empire—an aging billionaire with only months to live—is on a desperate search for his long-lost son, who was taken from him as an infant during his darkest days. With no other heirs and a clock ticking on his life, the billionaire is willing to leave everything to the son he never got to raise. When Gregory sees the story on the news, he’s drawn to it for reasons he can’t explain. He begins to dig into his forgotten past, uncovering a trail of secrets that leads to a shocking discovery: he might be the heir the world is searching for. But power doesn’t come easy. As Gregory gets closer to the truth, enemies close in—from the jealous rich family he served to those within the billionaire’s company who would kill to keep him from claiming what’s his. Betrayed, framed, beaten down, and cast out, Gregory must fight his way back—not just to reclaim a name he never knew, but to take the empire he never asked for. In a world built on lies and greed, only one truth remains: the boy no one wanted may be the man the world needs.

Chapter: Chapter 108: The Unseen Hand
The tapping sound grew louder, its rhythm deliberate. Gregory’s pulse quickened as the dark shape moved deeper into the shadows, too fluid to be the work of an ordinary person. Dante’s eyes narrowed, his body tensing like a coiled spring. “Stay close,” Dante whispered, his voice low but filled with intent. “We’re not alone.” Gregory’s heart hammered in his chest as he glanced around the warehouse.The dim light barely illuminated the edges of the room, and every creak of the floorboards seemed to echo in the silence. The tapping continued, growing closer, until finally, it stopped. For a moment, everything was still. “Dante,” Victor murmured, his voice barely above a whisper. “What is it? Who’s there?” Dante didn’t answer immediately. His gaze flicked toward the far end of the warehouse, where the shadows seemed to cluster in a corner, but there was no one there. His eyes scanned the room with unnerving precision.“We’re being watched,” Dante said, his voice colder now. “There’s someo

Chapter: Chapter 107: The Hunt Begins
The figures behind them moved with terrifying precision, their footsteps echoing off the walls as they closed in on Gregory and his group. The dark alleyway, once their escape route, now seemed like a trap. The only way out was forward, but the figures were coming from both directions. There was no place to hide, no way to outrun them. Gregory’s heart pounded in his chest as they sprinted, the noise of their pursuers growing louder with each passing second. The explosion had only been the beginning. The game was no longer a silent war fought in boardrooms and behind closed doors it had moved to the streets, and they were the prey. Dante led the charge, his movements sharp and controlled.He glanced over his shoulder at Gregory, his expression hard but determined. "Keep moving! Don’t look back!" Dante shouted, his voice a command that cut through the panic in Gregory’s mind. Gregory wanted to argue, to ask questions, but there was no time. He could feel the weight of the situation pres

Chapter: Chapter 106: The Shadow in the Game
The sound of the scarred mercenary hitting the ground reverberated through the tense silence, but it wasn’t the fall that caught Gregory’s attention it was the man who had caused it. The newcomer moved with a fluidity that spoke of years of training, a predatory grace that made it clear he was no ordinary ally. He didn’t just defeat the mercenary; he owned the moment.Gregory’s heart was still racing, the gun in his hand heavy with meaning. His mind tried to process everything, but it was hard to focus with the mercenaries still surrounding him, their weapons now aimed at the mysterious figure who had just made his entrance. Yet the man didn’t flinch. His eyes never left the scarred mercenary he had just subdued, a look of cold indifference painted across his face. “Who are you?” Gregory demanded, his voice cutting through the chaos.“And why are you helping us?” The man’s gaze shifted from the mercenary to Gregory, his expression unreadable. He was tall, with short-cropped dark hair,

Chapter: Chapter 105: The First Shot
The sound of the gunshot echoed like a death knell, slicing through the air and freezing everything in its path. For a split second, Gregory couldn’t even move. The world seemed to stretch out, the seconds slowing down as his eyes darted between the mercenaries and the gunman.A heavy silence followed, as if the world itself had held its breath. Gregory’s heart thundered in his chest, a mix of fear, confusion, and adrenaline flooding his veins.He looked to Avery. Her expression was one of pure shock, her hand instinctively reaching for him as she scanned the scene. Victor, too, was tense, his eyes flicking back and forth as he sized up the situation. They were all on edge now. The rules had changed, and no one knew what the next move would be.The man, the one who had claimed to be the key to Gregory’s inheritance, didn’t flinch. He simply stood there, his hands clasped behind his back as if the danger around them didn’t matter. His calm demeanor was maddening.“Did you think you cou

Chapter: Chapter 104: The Reckoning
The earth trembled beneath Gregory’s feet as the looming threat outside drew closer. He could feel the tension thickening in the air, the sense of impending doom hanging over them all. The man’s cryptic words echoed in his ears as he tried to process everything that had been laid out before him.He wasn’t just a housekeeper. He wasn’t just some nameless figure in the background of a wealthy family’s life. He was the heir to an empire a legacy he had never known existed. The Stone Empire. The weight of that realization pressed heavily on his shoulders, but it wasn’t just the legacy he had to worry about. It was the people surrounding him, the ones who had become his family, his friends, and the ones who would be dragged into this whirlwind whether they wanted to be or not.Avery, Victor, and the others were counting on him. He could feel their eyes on him, the unspoken trust they placed in him. He wasn’t sure if he was worthy of it, but he knew one thing for sure: he couldn’t let them

Chapter: Chapter 103: The Weight of Truth
Gregory stood frozen, the envelope gripped tightly in his hand as the world seemed to swirl around him. The photo, the letter it all felt like a dream, something too surreal to be true. But the man standing before him, the one who had just unveiled a part of his life he had never known, was as real as the crumbling ground beneath their feet.His heart hammered in his chest as he slowly read the letter. The words were etched in ink, stark and clear:“To my son, Gregory, whom I abandoned in the past but will claim as my heir once again…”He didn’t even need to read further. The implications were enough. This was the truth the truth about who he was, and about the empire he had unknowingly inherited. It was all too much. Too much to process in a single breath.Avery stood beside him, her eyes darting between him and the man who had spoken so confidently about his birthright. She didn’t say anything, but the weight of her gaze was enough. She was waiting for him to make sense of it all, j
