“I have decided not to stay broke and miserable with you, Xavier. Emerald is not your child, and I want a better life for my daughter because love doesn't pay rent.”
Humiliated and ridiculed by Lisa and her lover whom she had brought home during a secret marriage proposal he had planned and streamed live on TikTok at their house, Xavier Lancelot watched broken as the love of his life told the world he isn't the real father of their child.
And just like that, Xavier’s heartbreak went viral. The video of his failed proposal was all over TikTok, viewed millions of times with people laughing at the broke café worker who thought love was enough.
But just when he thought life couldn’t get worse… he found a forgotten lottery ticket in his pocket and won big.
Now wealthy and famous, Xavier is finally rebuilding his life, with the help of Amber, the loyal friend who stood by him when he had nothing. But just as he begins to heal, Lisa shows up again, with their daughter, the same one she once denied him. Demanding her share of his new life.
But this time, Xavier isn’t the one who’ll end up heartbroken. Because what he has planned will break her more than she ever broke him.

Chapter: The Captive Queen
Celeste’s head throbbed like she’d been hit with a hammer. The sharp pain pulsed behind her eyes, spreading through her skull until it felt as if her brain was trying to claw its way out. Her tongue was dry and heavy, her throat raw like she’d swallowed sandpaper. When she tried to move, a cold shock ran through her spine, and her wrists and ankles refused to cooperate.Her eyelids fluttered open to the soft gleam of a chandelier above. The ceiling wasn’t familiar, neither were the silk sheets beneath her or the faint smell of vanilla and disinfectant in the air. This wasn’t the resort she’d been in earlier. This wasn’t her suite.Panic crawled up her chest. She jerked against the restraints, her breath quickening. Then she heard a deep, almost amused voice from across the room.“Need some water?”Her eyes darted toward the sound. The man leaned casually against the wall near the minibar, the same male stripper from the night before. Only now, he was dressed differently with no gliste

Chapter: The Fall Of The Queen
The ocean breeze drifted through the open balcony doors of Celeste’s private suite, she sat in a silk robe, legs crossed, glass of champagne in hand, her laughter echoing faintly as soft music played in the background.“Teacher really outdid himself this time,” she muttered to herself, gazing at the wide stretch of blue. “A private resort, personal guards, and a weekend without chaos. Finally.”A knock at the door. Celeste didn’t bother asking who it was, her guards had already been instructed.“Come in.”The man who entered was tall, muscled, with a teasing smile and eyes that lingered a second too long. He wore a white shirt unbuttoned halfway, black pants hugging his frame.“You must be the entertainment,” Celeste said, her lips curling.“That depends,” the man replied smoothly. “Do you feel entertained yet?”She gave a throaty laugh. “Not yet. But you’re easy on the eyes.”He stepped closer, a bag in hand. “I was told you like surprises.”“Oh, I love surprises,” Celeste said, swir

Chapter: Loyalty For Sale
“Don’t stand there and talk like you’re the victim, Xavier,” Antonio said finally, his tone sharp but not raised. “You think you were the only one who bled? You think you were the only one betrayed?”Xavier turned to face him, his eyes blazing. “Don’t start that nonsense with me. Every move I took against you was justified. You ruined me, Antonio. I was dragged through the mud. The trolls, the public disgrace, the mockery, you think I forgot?”Antonio tilted his head slightly, his lips curving into something between pity and amusement. “You think I set out to ruin you? Lisa made her choice, that's not on me."“Her Choice?” Xavier laughed bitterly. “Cheating on me with you is what you call choice? Not having the decency to come online and clear my name when I was being ridiculed online is what you call choice? You stood by and watched me crumble. Watched me lose everything, my job, my home, my dignity. Do you have any idea what it feels like to have everything stripped from you and the

Chapter: Men With Bruised Ego
They had moved to this secluded place for privacy — and maybe because both of them knew they couldn’t afford to be seen together. The last hour had been spent in silence, with Antonio pacing and Xavier thinking.Finally, Xavier broke the quiet.“So,” he said, voice calm but edged. “Now that we know Teacher has eyes on us, what do you suggest we do? How do we move from here? Because like it or not, we’re standing on the same side of the line now against him.”Antonio stopped pacing, turned, and gave a low chuckle that didn’t reach his eyes. “You know, I never thought I’d live to see the day Xavier Lancelot asks me for help.”Xavier’s jaw tensed. “Don’t twist my words.”“Oh, come on,” Antonio said, spreading his arms. “Let me enjoy the irony for a moment. The mighty Xavier, the golden man with his empire, the man who took everything I built now standing here, talking alliance with the man planning to destroy.”Xavier pushed off the beam, took a step closer. “You think this is about iron

Chapter: A Common Enemy
Antonio stopped a few feet away, hands in his pockets. He looked cleaner than the last time he was outside with his hair combed, jacket buttoned, but his eyes were raw. He gave a crooked, tired smile.“You called me a liar,” Antonio said without preamble. “So why did you ask to meet me?”Xavier’s voice was flat, low. “I don’t waste my time on liars. You either have something true to say, or you’re here to make trouble.”Antonio’s laugh was humorless. “You don’t get to judge me after everything. You called me liar in your office, remember? You said I was there to manipulate, to set up a scene. Fine. You were right then. But now... now it’s not a game. I’m not performing. I’m warning you.”“Why?” Xavier cut in. “Why warn me? You told me last time that whatever happens to me is not your problem. Now you play guardian? What changed?”Antonio looked past him, toward a corner where a delivery truck idled. “My little girl, Emerald” he said simply. “She thinks the world of you. She calls you

Chapter: A Broken Man's Play List
Lisa looked at him, pity and fury fighting in her face. “You have a choice,” she said. “You always did. Violence is not the only currency. You can run. You can go somewhere they can’t find you. You can make Emerald forget you for a while, in a way that protects her. But killing him, if you do this, there’s no coming back. You think Celeste will let you live afterward? Teacher will make sure you’re the example.”Antonio laughed, a small, unbelieving sound. “You always had a way of cutting through the bullshit.”“You made your bed, Antonio.” She stepped closer now, lowering her voice. “You chose the life that bought you power and men who would do your bidding. You chose people like Teacher. There is no clean exit after you signed those blanks.”He turned his face to the ceiling and closed his eyes. “I didn’t think it would be like this. I thought I could control it. I thought I could stop at a line and go back to being a father. I was wrong.”“Then don’t go,” Lisa said simply. “If you m

Chapter: The Longest Two Hours
Martin grabbed it so fast he nearly dropped it.Same Unknown number."One hour fifty-three minutes. Seven minutes left. She's walking back now. You'll know soon enough if you made the right choice."Martin stared at the message. The mysterious texter was watching Taylor. Tracking her. Following her. Who were they? Before he could respond, footsteps echoed in the hallway outside. Slow. Hesitant.They stopped at his door.Martin held his breath before he opened the door.Taylor stood there, her eyes red and swollen. Her hair was messy. She'd been crying."I came back," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Martin stepped aside. She walked in slowly, like she was entering a stranger's home. She sat on the chair by the window. Martin closed the door and stood across from her, giving her space.Silence stretched between them."I walked for two hours," Taylor finally said. "Just walked. Through the city. Didn't even know where I was going." She looked up at him. "I kept thinking about

Chapter: Male Gold-digger
Martin sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the clock on the wall. Seven forty-three PM.Taylor had been gone for an hour and seventeen minutes.Forty-three minutes left.His phone sat on the nightstand, silent. No calls. No texts. Nothing.Martin pressed his palms against his eyes, trying to calm his racing thoughts. What if she'd already made the call? What if she was with Cole right now, telling him everything? What if…?A flash of memory hit him, sudden and sharp.***Aubrey stood in the sunlight streaming through the café window, laughing at something he'd said. She was beautiful and radiant. Everything Martin wasn't. "You're staring," she said, her smile teasing. "Can't help it," Martin replied, his voice softer than usual. "You're... you're stunning."She reached across the table and took his hand. Her skin was warm and delicate. "My parents are going to hate you, you know."Martin's stomach dropped. "What?" "They think I should marry someone from our world. Old money.

Chapter: Will She Betray Him?
Taylor, wait..." "No." She backed toward the door. "I need space. I need to think. I need to not be in this room with you right now." "Where are you going?" "I don't know! Anywhere!" She reached for the door handle, then stopped. Her voice dropped to barely above a whisper. "Are you dangerous?" The question hit Martin like a punch to the gut. "What?" "Are you dangerous?" Taylor turned to look at him, and for the first time since he'd known her, he saw fear in her eyes. Fear of him."You said someone tried to kill you. You said you don't remember who, but what if they had a reason? What if Martin Luther was a bad man? What if whoever tried to kill you did it because you deserved it?" "I didn't deserve to die." "You don't know that, you said so yourself that your memory is incomplete!" Tears streamed down her face now. "I pulled a man from a river. A man with bullet wounds. A man who was left for dead. And now you're telling me that man was a billionaire CEO who someone w

Chapter: The Dead Man's Confession
The cheap lodge felt smaller than usual. Martin sat on the edge of the bed, hands clasped between his knees. Taylor stood by the window, arms crossed, waiting. "I'm listening," she said. Her voice was cold. "Start talking."Martin took a breath. "My name isn't Ryan." "I figured that much. My father gave you that name because you didn't remember yours. "My real name is Martin Luther."The silence that followed was deafening. Taylor didn't move. Didn't blink. Just stared at him like he'd grown a second head. "Say that again," she whispered. "Martin Luther. The CEO who died two years ago. The man whose company Cole Luther now runs." Martin looked up at her. "I'm not dead, obviously."Taylor's laugh came out sharp, disbelieving. "You're insane." "I know how it sounds, but..." "No, you don't!" She spun to face him fully. ;"You must think I'm a fool if this is all you could come up with. You're telling me you're a dead billionaire CEO? The same Martin Luther whose death was all o

Chapter: Caught Red-handed
Martin checked the clock on the wall. Twelve twenty, Cole was at lunch with Taylor as usual. The security guards had just entered the CCTV room. He had maybe thirty minutes to do what he had planned.Two weeks, that's how long he'd been studying Luther Enterprises. When employees arrived. When they left. Which cameras covered what angles. When the blind spots appeared. He'd written everything in a notebook hidden in his locker. Security shift changes at two PM. Cole's lunch schedule, always the same restaurant everyday. The names of businessmen Cole met with. Patterns everywhere.His memory flickered more each day. Last night he'd dreamed of signing contracts in that office. The week before, he remembered the conference room at twelve. Faces came back in pieces, but names stayed just out of reach. But the big questions remained buried. That hunting trip. The betrayal and why they wanted him dead. He'd searched everywhere for answers. Storage rooms. Archives. Old filing cabinets in th

Chapter: Lunch With the Devil
"Or what?" Cole smiled. "You'll report me? To who? HR? I own HR. The board? I control the board. My wife? She'd laugh at you." He leaned closer. "You have no power here, Taylor. The sooner you accept that, the easier this will be."Taylor's eyes burned with unshed tears of rage and frustration. "Move."Cole studied her for a long moment, then stepped aside with a mock bow. "By all means. Run to the bathroom. Collect yourself. But remember, you still have to come back to this table. And after lunch, you still have to come back to my office."Taylor pushed past him and fled the private room. In the main dining area, she stumbled toward the bathroom, her vision blurring. She locked herself in a stall and finally let the tears fall.Her phone. Where was her phone? She needed to call Ryan. To get out of here. Then she remembered. Cole had taken it. Still had it. A knock on the bathroom door made her jump."Miss?" A female voice. "Are you alright?"Taylor wiped her eyes quickly and stepped
