His Return: Revenge Of The Rejected Son-in-Law
Synopsis
“You’re not worthy of being my husband anymore, Gilbert! You’re trash! I’ve found a real man, and I’m already pregnant with his child.”
On the very day Gilbert Brook walks out of prison, having taken the fall for a crime he didn’t commit, he’s greeted not with love or redemption—but betrayal. His wife, Geraldine Brook, publicly divorces him, mocking the years of loyalty, sacrifice, and silence he gave her. That night, on what was supposed to be their fourth wedding anniversary, he stumbles upon her in bed with her ex-boyfriend, Ethan Dalon.
Humiliated. Shattered. Cast out into the cold rain like garbage.
But that night isn’t the end of Gilbert Brook.
It’s the death of a name and the rebirth of a legacy.
Because Gilbert Brook never truly existed.
He is Alexander Steele, rightful heir to the trillion-dollar Steele Empire. Grandson to Richard Steele, the elusive kingmaker who built a dynasty hidden from the world. Forged in secrets, wealth, and power, Alexander’s bloodline is more than just royal, it’s dangerous.
Now, the man the world scorned returns as a storm.
With limitless resources and a new identity, Alexander begins to unravel a list of betrayals and erase every name on it. But vengeance isn’t his only inheritance. A darker truth lies buried beneath the Steele name. A prophecy. A curse. And an artifact of unimaginable power: The Book of Ages.
Ancient. Mythical. Feared.
Said to hold the power to rewrite fate itself, the Book can only be awakened by a blood bond, Alexander’s blood, fused with the one he loves most.
But who's she?

Chapter: Chapter SevenChapter SevenThe two women locked eyes, exchanging polite words laced with unspoken hostility.Then, Uncle Ryan appeared. He shared a subtle nod with Regina before looking away. Fiona noticed but said nothing.Though he smiled, the crowd responded with sneers and turned heads. Alexander wasn’t surprised to see him. Ryan and Edward had long been close allies.“President Alexander,” Ryan said smoothly. “A pleasure. It’s been a while since that… unfortunate incident.”Alexander offered a civil smile, unmoved. Ryan had visited his office often since, pretending friendship but Alexander never trusted him.“Good to see you too,” he replied coolly.They shook hands. Ryan turned to Edward, exchanging pleasantries.“We’ll leave the ladies to their talk,” Edward said, motioning Alexander toward a reserved seat.Alexander followed. Ryan trailed behind.But just as Alexander settled in, the lights cut out.Darkness swallowed the hall.A collective gasp rose from the crowd, followed by murmurs of

Chapter: Chapter SixChapter Six Six months later… The Brooks family sat in silence before Alexander and Commissioner Daniel Ryder. It had been six long months since their public confession and six months behind bars. But today, Alexander had decided to release them. Prison had changed them. The hatred once etched into their faces was now replaced by quiet regret. Surprisingly, they looked well,especially Geraldine. Now heavily pregnant, Geraldine’s glow defied the prison walls. She didn’t look like someone who’d spent half a year confined. Her joy came not from freedom, but from the life growing inside her. Two months into their sentence, she’d dismissed the signs as stress. But as her belly swelled, a doctor confirmed the truth: she was still carrying a child. She never let the irony weigh her down. The fact that the man who had imprisoned her family was the same man whose children she carried. Instead, she embraced her pregnancy with strength, determined to protect her baby from bitterness.

Chapter: Chapter FiveChapter Five At Steele Corporation’s skyscraper, Alexander stood by the glass window, watching the angry crowd below chant for justice. They wanted the old man’s case reopened, and him sent back to prison. “Master, let me handle this. It’s simple,” Clara said quietly beside him. He shook his head, chuckling. “No. I want the real culprit to come and confess, publicly. We’re just spectators now. Let’s wait and watch.” Clara’s brow furrowed. She knew what'd existed between her master and the Brooks family and she couldn't blame him for what he was doing. “But… Geraldine’s fiancé, Ethan Dolan, was just involved in a terrible accident. She won’t be able to come.” Alexander simply hummed. He’d already expected it. The Brooks had no idea they were surrounded by snakes in their own household. A flicker of pity crossed his face. “Poor boy,” he murmured. Then, turning to Clara, “Watch closely. The game is just beginning.” ***** At the hospital, Geraldine lay motionless, eyes fixed on

Chapter: Chapter Four Chapter Four“Mom! Mom!” Geraldine cried, clutching the phone as chaos unfolded outside their company.“Geraldine? Why’re you calling at this h—” Sierra’s voice cut off.“Government officials are here. They’re locking everything down. It’s on the news! Shareholders are pulling out fast.”“What?!” her mother gasped. “How is this happening?”“That’s not even the worst part. A man named Peter Raymond claims he owns the company now. He even has the real documents, Mom. I don’t know how he got it.”Two days had passed since their failed plea to Alexander. He refused to help unless they confessed publicly.Geraldine hadn’t told him about the pregnancy, afraid he’d think she was manipulative after claiming the baby was Ethan’s.Ethan hadn’t contacted her in days too. Now, with the company collapsing, fear gripped her.“What do we do now?” her mother whispered, panicked.“Do you think Gilbert—Alexander, is behind this?” Sierra asked, turning on the TV.She expected updates on the company’s cr

Chapter: Chapter Three Chapter ThreeAlexander was led into the sleek, glass-walled office, leaving Ethan and Geraldine outside,just as he’d instructed.Their stunned expressions when he was announced as CEO had been priceless.Turning to Clara, he asked, “So my sister promised them a deal… and they’re actually in debt to us?”Clara slid a thick file across the desk. “Exactly, Master. Their debt has only worsened. For months, the Brooks family’s been quietly collapsing. Only Geraldine knew how bad it was until now.”She tapped the file. “Now they want a deal without paying what they owe.”Alexander’s eyes narrowed as he scanned the file. How did their family even secure a Steele loan? Our grandfathers were allies. Something doesn’t add up...Still, this was his moment. His chance.“Bring them in,” he said, spinning his chair before rising and walking to the window.From the 28th floor, he looked out over the city. Unbelievable, he thought. From a discarded son-in-law to this. This’s my kingdom now.Outside

Chapter: Chapter TwoChapter TwoIn a lavish living room, Alexander Steele, formerly Gilbert Brooks, sat across from a striking woman with an open file between them. The resemblance was undeniable. She was Alessandria Steele, his sister.“I’m so sorry for everything you went through, brother” she said, voice laced with sorrow. “I didn’t know how it happened or who took you. It was like everything about you were erased from the earth. I only discovered the truth months ago, when I found out you were married into the Brooks family. That’s when I realized... it was you.”Alexander remained silent, still absorbing the whirlwind his life had become. His eyes scanned the opulent room, landing on framed photos of Alessandria with her husband, glowing and happy.“I understand,” he said quietly. “But… what about our real parents? Can I know more about them? And grandpa too?”Alessandria nodded and sighed. “I’ll tell you what I know. But the story about how you ended up in an orphanage after being taken... that par
