From Death To Wealth
Bruce Baron was nothing more than a cleaner struggling to keep his sick father alive. Mocked by the rich, humiliated by his ex-fiancée, and falsely accused of theft at an elite engagement party, Bruce’s life spiraled into ruin. Framed by the powerful Richardson family and given an impossible choice by a corrupt mayor to pay a one-million-dollar fine or spend ten years in prison. Then everything changed.
After collapsing from grief and exhaustion, Bruce awoke in a luxury hospital, only to discover a truth that would shake his world: he’s not a nobody, he’s the long-lost heir to the trillion-dollar Baron Consortium. His real mother, Lady Scarlet, has finally found him after twenty-five years of hiding him from murderous family enemies.
Now reborn into wealth and power, Bruce has only one mission: vengeance. With money, influence, and a new identity, Bruce begins his revenge. The same people who spat on him will now kneel. The ex-fiancée who betrayed him, the landlord who destroyed his family, the corrupt mayor who chose status over justice; all have debts to pay.
But revenge comes at a cost. As Bruce climbs the ladder of power and dominance, will he remain the same man his father raised? Or will he lose himself in the world of wealth and wrath?

Chapter: Chapter NineBruce was taken aback at her statement. He had no idea who this woman was, yet she spoke to him with such familiarity.Tears streamed down her cheeks as she rose from the plush sofa and took a step toward him. “I'm so glad we finally found you.”Bruce stood rooted in place, his eyes were wide and his thoughts were blank. He couldn’t find the words to answer. Instead, he stared at her, completely bewildered by the expressive scene unfolding before him.“Am I dreaming again?” he muttered under his breath.Why was this stranger crying at the sight of him?The sound of footsteps snapped him out of his daze as the beautiful doctor entered the living room, offering a polite nod to the woman.“Lady Scarlet,” the doctor greeted respectfully, “he’s stable now, but he’ll need to continue the medications I’ve prescribed.”“Thank you so much,” the woman replied softly, a faint smile breaking through her teary expression as she dabbed her eyes with a silk hankie.“Of course, Lady Scarlet,” the do

Chapter: Chapter EightAfter Bruce opened his eyes, confusion washed over him. The day had passed, and it wasn’t just morning anymore. It was now evening. He realized he had been unconscious for nearly twenty-four hours.He found himself in a spacious, well-equipped ward, filled with advanced medical devices. It was clear this was no ordinary health center; this room was designed for the elite. Bright LED lights illuminated the area, and he noticed he was lying shirtless on a pristine hospital bed.His gaze shifted to his chest, where wires and monitors were attached to him, tracking his every breath.Where am I? Why am I still alive? His thoughts spiraled, struggling to make sense of the situation.The more he observed the unfamiliar surroundings, the more questions crowded his mind.Was I brought back from death? Is this some sort of second chance? Or could this even be… a new life?Bruce rubbed his temple, his brow furrowed deeply. He couldn’t figure out what had happened or how he had ended up in such a

Chapter: Chapter SevenWhen Bruce passed out, he found himself in an entirely different world.At the same time, he felt like he was floating, weightless, surrounded by an endless horizon.He couldn’t tell where he was or how he got there in the first place.He looked around, but there was nothing, just the white emptiness stretching as far as his eyes could see.Silence!“Am I dead?” he muttered to himself, his voice echoing very loudly and distantly. He tried to move, but his body felt hefty like it wasn’t his.Then, out of nowhere, he saw a figure in the distance. A man was walking slowly, his back turned to Bruce.“Hey! Wait!” Bruce called out, waving. “Who are you?”The man didn’t stop.Bruce hurried toward him, his feet dragging as if the ground itself resisted his steps. As he got closer, his heart skipped a beat.It was his dead father. “Papa!” he shouted, tears already filling his eyes. “Wait for me!”His father stopped and turned around, his face calm but sad. “Bruce,” he called gently. “What are

Chapter: Chapter SixWhere was Bruce supposed to get a million dollars?The mayor had given him two impossible choices: pay the fine or spend ten years in prison. He thought of his papa in the hospital, who relied on him for everything. Who would take care of him if Bruce were locked away?Bruce knew he had to decide quickly before the mayor changed his mind. Swallowing his pride, he spoke up, his voice barely steady, “I’ll pay the fine, sir.”The words felt unreal, and his response took everyone by surprise. The others had expected him to choose the jail term. Surely he didn’t have the money to pay such a massive fine, but here he was, saying he’d pay.Vincent snickered, biting his bottom lip. “You? Pay a million dollars? In your wildest dreams. You can’t even afford decent clothes, thief.”Kyle laughed, nudging Vincent with an amused look. “I give it a week. No way he’ll last. The guy’s got nothing, how’s he going to pull off a million?”Tessa rolled her eyes and shrugged. “Honestly, just take the jail

Chapter: Chapter FiveBruce was shocked and in disbelief at the same time. “What are you talking about? I didn’t take any ring! I don’t even know what you’re talking about!”Vincent crossed his arms across his chest with a smug grin on his face. “You know, Bruce, I was wondering who might stoop so low as to swap out a $100,000 silver ring meant for the proposal tonight for a cheap fake ring not even worth $50. But every piece of evidence points back to you.”Tessa scowled. “You’re telling us you had nothing to do with it?”“Really?”The crowd murmured in outrage.“Lie tale-teller!”Lila muttered to Meghan. “He can’t even admit it.”Kyle shrugged with mock innocence, looking around at Bruce and then the crowd. “Then you wouldn’t mind us searching you in front of all these people, would you?”“Fine. I have nothing to hide,” Bruce said, standing on his words because he hadn’t swapped any ring.Kyle smirked, then signaled his friends to search Bruce thoroughly.Bruce struggled as they grabbed him, yanking off
