THE SECRET SON-IN-LAW: Heir of War
For three long years, Leon Hale has lived as the disgrace of the Carson family—an unwanted son-in-law mocked for his poverty, treated like a servant, and blamed for every misfortune under their luxurious roof.
They think he is useless.
They think he is weak.
They think he has nowhere else to go.
They have no idea who he really is.
When a mysterious man appears one night, calling Leon “War God’s Heir,” the truth begins to unravel. Leon is the only surviving descendant of an ancient, feared military clan—one whose power, wealth, and influence could crush the entire city with a single command.
But Leon didn’t forget the Carson family’s cruelty.
He didn’t forget how they humiliated him.
And most importantly… he didn’t forget how his wife, Sophia Carson, was the only one who ever stood by him, even when her entire family turned against him.
Now, the man they treated like trash is about to become the most dangerous man they’ve ever crossed.
The world will soon kneel before him.
The Carson family will learn exactly who they’ve been insulting.
And those who try to hurt Sophia will meet the War God’s wrath.
But as enemies from his hidden past return—ruthless generals, underground syndicates, and a mysterious rival claiming his inheritance—Leon must protect the woman he loves while taking back the throne that rightfully belongs to him.
He came as a son-in-law.
He rises as a legend.
And this time… everyone will bow.

Chapter: CHAPTER 7 – Leon Breaks ThroughThe shredded steel door screeched open as Leon forced his way through, his fingers dripping blood, knuckles torn raw. The metal curled around his arm like ripped paper, bending under strength no ordinary man should possess.Sophia froze, breath locked in her chest.Leon stepped inside the vault—slowly, steady, eyes wild with exhaustion yet sharp with awareness. Sweat dripped from his jaw. Blood—some his, some not—streaked across his temple. His shirt was ripped open at the shoulder, revealing deep gashes that were still bleeding.But he was standing.Alive.And furious.Adrian exhaled like he’d been holding his breath for years. “Holy hell… he did it.”Leon’s eyes were fixed on one person only.“Sophia,” he rasped, voice low and strained. “Step back.”His tone wasn’t weak. It was command. It was warning. It was the last thread of control he had.Sophia’s knees nearly buckled. “Leon… you’re bleeding—”“Step. Back.” His voice cracked, pained but sharp.She obeyed, stumbling behind a cra

Chapter: CHAPTER 6 – The Thing Wearing Leon’s JacketDust still swirled through the vault as the creature crouched in the center of the floor, its breath raspy and animalistic. Sophia stumbled backward until her shoulders hit a crate.“No… no, no, no…” she whispered. “That’s… that’s not Leon… That can’t be Leon…”Adrian stepped in front of her, gun already drawn, arms steady. “Stay behind me.”The creature lifted its head slowly.Its face was half-hidden beneath matted hair and streaks of dried blood. Its eyes—unfocused, feral—didn’t belong to any human. They glinted strangely in the flickering vault lights, pupils blown wide, tracking every movement like prey.It sniffed the air once.Then twice.A low, rattled growl escaped its throat.Sophia’s trembling hand flew up to her mouth. The jacket on the creature—the one Leon had been wearing earlier—hung loose around its twisted frame, smeared in what looked like blood and dirt.“Leon’s jacket… oh my god… Adrian, what—what did they do to him?” Sophia gasped.“That’s not him,” Adrian said s

Chapter: CHAPTER 5 – The Man OutsideThe vault was pitch-black the moment the heavy steel door slammed shut.Sophia’s scream echoed in the darkness long after her voice gave out.“Leon!” She pounded on the metal with both fists. “Leon! Open it! Leon!”But the vault didn’t respond. It was meant to keep entire armies out. Her hands might as well have been feathers.Adrian grabbed her wrists gently. “Stop. You’ll hurt yourself.”“I don’t care!” she sobbed. “He’s out there! He’s with that man— that thing— and you’re telling me to stop?!”Adrian stayed silent, breathing hard in the darkness.Sophia gasped between shallow breaths, trying not to fall apart. “Why did he tell us to close the door? Why would he stay out there alone? He doesn’t even have a weapon!”Adrian exhaled slowly. “Leon doesn’t stay unarmed.”“What does that even mean?”The vault hummed around them, a low buzzing from the ancient generators. A faint glow finally flickered above, weak lights struggling to warm the cold interior. Shadows stretched across the w

Chapter: CHAPTER 4 – The Vault IntrudersThe forest was so quiet Leon could hear the buzz of the vault’s old electricity humming behind him. The men who stepped out from the trees didn’t rush. They didn’t speak loudly. They moved with the calm confidence of people who killed for a living.Adrian’s hand slid toward his jacket, and Sophia instinctively moved behind Leon, gripping his sleeve so tightly her fingers trembled.The tallest intruder smirked. “Finally found you, Hale.”Leon didn’t flinch. “Who sent you?”“Oh, come on.” The man spread his arms as if greeting an old friend. “As if you don’t know how many people want your head.”Adrian stepped forward a little. “If you want to breathe for another ten seconds,” he said coldly, “start giving real answers.”Sophia tugged Leon’s sleeve. “Leon… who are they?”Leon didn’t answer. His eyes hadn’t left the men for even a second.The intruder glanced at Sophia with a slow, amused smile. “So this must be the wife. The Carsons really let you marry her? Surprising, considering—”Le

Chapter: CHAPTER 3 – The Vault That Should Never Be OpenedFor a moment, no one breathed.Not Leon.Not Sophia.Not Adrian.Not even Olivia, whose trembling hands clutched the doorframe as though the house itself might give way.Leon’s voice finally broke through the suffocating silence.“Say that again,” he said quietly.Adrian swallowed, phone still vibrating in his palm. “Your father’s vault. They found it. And—sir, they opened it.”Leon’s jaw tightened. A slow, cold heat spread through his chest, something dangerous, something old. He took a step toward Adrian.“How?” Leon asked. “The vault was sealed. Only—”“Only you could open it,” Adrian finished, voice strained. “I know. That’s why this doesn’t make sense.”Sophia looked between them, eyes wide. “What vault? What are you talking about?”Leon didn’t answer. He couldn’t—not until he understood what was happening. He turned back to Adrian.“Who opened it?” Leon demanded.Adrian shook his head. “Unknown. The message came from someone inside the old division. Whoever found the vault didn’

Chapter: CHAPTER 2 – The Stranger Who Knows Leon’s NameThe silence between Leon and the mysterious man stretched, heavy enough to choke.Leon stared at him, unsure if he’d heard correctly. The War God’s Heir? It sounded ridiculous—like something from a movie. But the man’s eyes were dead serious.Before Leon could respond, footsteps scraped the porch behind him.Derek leaned halfway out the door. “What the hell is taking you so long—” He stopped, eyes bouncing between Leon and the stranger. “Who’s this?”Leon didn’t answer immediately. Adrian Holt stepped forward, posture stiff but respectful.“I’m here for him,” Adrian said calmly. “This is urgent.”Derek snorted. “For him? Why? You selling something? We don’t need whatever trash you’re peddling.”Adrian’s eyes shifted, sharp as a blade. “I’m not speaking to you.”Derek stepped toward him, puffing his chest like a guard dog. “This is my house. You don’t get to—”Leon lifted a hand. “Derek, go inside.”“What?” Derek blinked, thrown off by Leon’s tone. “Who do you think you’re talking to?”
