“Don’t complain when the lights go out…” These were the words that came out of his mouth before he calmly exited the office.
Josh Summers, a typical nobody, a medical instructor, is pushed aside by his wife, Lauren Forrest, when she sees that she has reached the very pinnacle of her career. She saw him as nothing but ‘Deadweight…’
But then everything turns upside down when, on the very day she had been dreaming of, she sees him standing with the top dogs of the city.
Josh Summers wasn't just a nobody; he was the shadow ruler of Veron, the Hidden Ace, and the blade that held the underworld together. He had chosen a quiet life to stay with his wife; for three years, he played instructor at the clinic.
But now, he is back, and with his resurfacing, the underworld is shaking— threats are awakening, and new enemies and allies are being born.
Will Josh continue to rule over his Empire of Ash and Gold?

Chapter: 008
Griffin Peak Hotel… In the executive suite, Josh could be seen getting ready for something. He wore a dashing blue suit; it was well fitted. He pulled out boots from a rack, a smile on his face. The doors of the suite opened, and Austin was seen standing there with a puzzled look on his face, dressed in a brown suit, two diamond earrings on, and a clearly priceless watch on his right hand.Josh turned to look at Austin; he smiled when he saw him there. “Good to see you here.” He said he was happy to see him there that early. “You are one heck of a man.” Austin walked in, moving to the seat there as he sat down. “You saved a life yesterday, then decided to take a life hours later.”Austin balanced on the seat, looking at Josh. “You managed to take Eizo off the map; what made you do it?” Josh turned to look at his friend. “Filth like him shouldn't be allowed to be in the city; he ruins it with his nature.” Austin was smiling; he threw his head back with a smile. “You should see th

Chapter: 007
Josh joined Claire in her own car as they were driving to the Prince family mansion. Josh was oddly calm; it wasn't like him to just accept the date like that, but he kept a clear mind. “I wonder what made you not say a thing while I was working on your brothers.” Josh broke the awkward silence. He was looking at Claire, trying to know what it was that made her even look at him like he was going to be able to do something about the poison when it wasn't even certain if he would be able to save them. Claire turned to Josh, her facial expression changed, and she was smiling. “Well, one of the household matriarchs said that if you didn't know what was wrong with them, then there was bound to be no cure, and I have never seen her go wrong in my life, so I was going to make sure that I followed her words.” Josh was surprised to hear all that, a warm smile on his face as he turned out the window. “I didn't know someone had that much faith in me.” He was at ease, trying to put his mind

Chapter: 006
Johnson couldn't move; he was looking at Josh. He knew nothing was going to save him from what was coming his way. Claire walked closer to Johnson. Her expression was dark, and the rage in her eyes could be seen. “Mr. Johnson, I believe you can explain yourself?” Johnson was looking at them; it wasn't clear what he was expected to say, but then he turned to Josh, and his anger boiled more. Josh raised his brow, looking at the man in front of him; he wasn't in the mood to entertain rubbish. “I believe you were asked a question so I want to know why you thought it would be a good—” “It was because you took everything from me!” Johnson shot out; he was looking at Josh with pure rage. “I am a medical student, with high majors and all the required documents, but then I am overshadowed by a genius who seems to work miracles!” Josh was looking at Johnson; the correct set of words couldn't come out of his mouth at the moment. “I wanted to make sure that one patient would be removed fr

Chapter: 005
Josh turned to the children; his eyes were closed, almost like he was praying. His hands were by his side— no one knew what he was doing, but they could see that he was up to something. The moment he opened his eyes, they had a jade glow, but it was clear that no one could notice it. He turned to the boys in front of him and began the examination. His eyes went through their body suddenly, he paused when he spotted something on their neck—‘Black veins.’Josh touched the vein, and he could feel that there was something off about the vein and the way it was on both their necks. ‘Since when did this get to Sintril?’ Josh could recognize what was making the children sick. He took a scalpel, and he made a small cut on both their arms. The brown-haired girl was uneasy watching them; she didn't know what Josh was doing or how he was going to help the twins. “Sister, I don’t know how this man is going to be able to save them. He is acting like a madman.” She was looking at the red-haire

Josh threw the phone to the side, placing his head back on the chair. He didn’t say a word; it wasn’t what anyone would want to imagine. “Should I sink them?” Austin muttered; he was looking at his phone. “You know, it’s one word, and I will make sure that the Forrest family will understand what role you played in their lives.” Austin was looking at Josh; his face held nothing like a grudge. “No, leave them.” Josh didn't want anything that would make him even think of Lauren and her family. “I will let fate handle her, and you know there is no way for her to walk away from it for long.” He had a calm face; it was like he had erased her from his mind. Austin smiled; he turned to his phone. His brows raised when he looked at what was in front of him. “Well, if you were not going to do anything, then just know she is about to be hit hard by the Holt family; news spreads fast— even when the Prince is no longer protecting them.” Josh rolled his eyes; he looked out the window. “I n

Chapter: 003
Josh was looking at the workers; they were shocked to see that he wasn't even scared to touch someone who was an heir in Sintril. “I could have warned you to stop, but you wanted to show just how powerful your daddy’s money makes you.” Josh cleaned his fists as he turned to walk away. The moment he turned, there were guards standing there with their stun guns ready to shoot. “Stand down!” One of them yelled. He was looking at Josh, and he was sure that nothing was going to keep the man back from hurting anyone else. Josh rolled his eyes as he looked at the men in front of him. He had an empty gaze on his face. “Why are all of you suddenly in the way?” He asked, his tone showed he was trying to keep it as civil as possible. “When he was embarrassing me, you didn't see it?” “We won't tell you again, stand down or….” “Or nothing would happen!” A voice came from the outside, and someone stepped into the building with a smile on his face. “Took you long enough….” Josh had a smi
