From Mr. Nobody to Mr. Perfect!
Leon Blackwood lives a quiet, unremarkable life, or so the world believes. Once a name whispered in the shadows of power, he’s now just a man in an apron, cooking dinner for a wife who barely looks at him and enduring the scorn of her wealthy family. To them, he’s a failure, a burden chained to their crumbling empire.
But when the Quinn family’s company begins to collapse under mysterious attacks, and a ruthless heir sets his sights on Leon’s wife, something inside him shifts. The man who turned down kings, queens, and empires suddenly stops pretending to be ordinary.
With a single phone call, fortunes vanish. Corporations crumble. And those who mocked him discover too late that Leon Blackwood doesn’t negotiate... he decides.
As his quiet vengeance unfolds, Leon’s double life begins to unravel before the people who dismissed him. Enemies whisper his name in fear. Old powers stir. And Mia, the wife who thought she’d married a nobody, starts to realize that the man standing in her kitchen might be far more dangerous than anyone she’s ever known.
But every secret comes with a price. And Leon’s past isn’t done with him yet.

Chapter: Chapter 8The Quinn family house felt like a war zone when Leon returned. Raised voices echoed from the living room, punctuated by the sharp crack of Clara's cane striking the marble floor. Through the doorway, he could see the entire family gathered in a circle, their faces grim with tension and frustration.Leon paused in the entrance hall, listening to the chaos unfolding in the next room."This is a disaster!" Clara's voice rose above all others, fury radiating from every word. "An absolute catastrophe!""Grandmother, please let me explain—" Lisa Romano's voice was desperate, pleading."Explain?" Clara's laugh was bitter as poison. "Explain how you threw away our family's future? How you destroyed our only connection to Golden Group?"Leon quietly stepped closer to the doorway, remaining hidden in the shadows while observing the scene.Lisa sat hunched in one of the expensive armchairs, her usual confidence completely shattered. Mascara streaked down her cheeks, and her designer clothes loo

Chapter: Chapter 7In the plush executive lounge on the fortieth floor, Peter Marchetti lounged in a leather chair, his legs stretched out confidently. The panoramic windows offered a breathtaking view of the city below, but his attention was focused entirely on the woman beside him.Lisa Romano perched on the edge of her seat, practically vibrating with excitement. Her designer purse sat open on her lap as she frantically typed messages on her phone."I can't believe this is finally happening," she whispered, her fingers flying across the screen. "Grandmother Clara is going to be so impressed."Peter's smile was smug as he adjusted his expensive watch. "I told you not to worry, sweetheart. With my connections, this deal was always guaranteed.""When President Rossini signs the partnership agreement," Lisa continued, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, "I'll officially become the new company president. Finally!""And after that," Peter leaned closer, his voice dropping to an intimate murmur, "we can st

Chapter: Chapter 6Leon stood in the empty kitchen, watching dust motes dance in the morning sunlight streaming through the windows. The house felt hollow after the morning's chaos, filled only with the echoes of angry voices and shattered expectations.He sighed deeply, running a hand through his hair. The truth was a burden no one wanted to carry when lies were so much more comfortable. Every word he'd spoken had been honest, yet honesty seemed to be the one thing his wife's family couldn't tolerate.The sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence. Mia appeared in the doorway, her purse clutched tightly in her hands and her face set with grim determination."I'm going to the office," she announced, not quite meeting his eyes. "I need to find contacts, research Golden Group's requirements, figure out some way to approach them.""Mia—""Don't." She held up her hand, stopping him mid-sentence. "Please, Leon. I have work to do."She turned and walked away, her heels clicking rapidly against the marble fl

Chapter: Chapter 5The house felt strangely quiet after Oliver's departure. The family members clustered around Clara, their voices a mix of excitement and scheming whispers. The elderly matriarch stood at the center, her sharp eyes fixed on Mia with obvious displeasure."Well," Clara's voice cut through the chatter like a blade. "That was quite a display."Mia straightened her shoulders, sensing the storm approaching. "Grandmother, I know you're disappointed, but—""Disappointed?" Clara's laugh was cold and bitter. "Child, I'm beyond disappointed. I'm horrified."The room fell silent as Clara's cane tapped against the marble floor in a steady, ominous rhythm."You just rejected a proposal from a future B-tier family heir," Clara continued, her voice rising with each word. "A man offering fifty million dollars to save our company. And for what? Pride?""It's not about pride," Mia replied firmly. "It's about making the right decision for everyone involved.""The right decision?" Lisa Romano stepped forwa

Chapter: Chapter 4The silence that followed Leon's words lasted exactly three seconds before the room erupted in laughter."Did he just say he disagrees?" Lisa Romano wiped tears from her eyes, her laughter high and mocking. "The family cook thinks he has a vote?"Clara's cane struck the floor repeatedly as she chuckled. "In fifty years of business, I've never heard anything so ridiculous.""Leon, please," Mia whispered, her cheeks burning with embarrassment. "Don't make this worse."Beverly's face had turned an alarming shade of red. "How dare you speak when your betters are talking? You have no right—NO RIGHT—to interfere in family business!"Oliver's smile remained perfectly polite, though his eyes showed amusement. "Perhaps your... husband... doesn't understand the gravity of the situation.""He understands nothing," Beverly snapped. "Three years of marriage and he's learned nothing about his place."Leon stood calmly beside the kitchen counter, seemingly unbothered by the ridicule raining down on

Chapter: Chapter 3Dante Rossi's knees hit the marble floor with a painful crack."Please!" His voice broke as tears streamed down his face. "I'll fix everything! I swear on my mother's grave!"Leon stood above him, hands clasped behind his back. "Go on.""I'll restore all cooperation with the Quinn family immediately!" Dante's words tumbled out frantically. "Full partnership! Better terms than before! And I'll... I'll personally visit Mrs. Quinn to apologize!""When?""Tomorrow morning! First thing! I'll grovel at her feet if necessary!"Leon studied him for a long moment. "This is merely a small lesson, Mr. Rossi. Remember it well.""Yes! Yes, I will! Thank you for your mercy!"Leon turned and walked away, leaving Dante sobbing on his office floor.The house was quiet when Leon returned home. Moonlight streamed through the windows as he climbed the stairs. Mia's bedroom door was closed, soft breathing indicating she was finally asleep.He paused outside her door, his hand hovering over the handle. The
