The Forgotten Heir's Payback
For three painful years, Lucas lived as a nobody. He cooked every meal, washed every floor, and wiped every stain in the Vance family home.
His mother in law treated him worse than a stray dog. His wife, Chloe Vance, looked at him with cold disgust, choosing to spend her nights with the arrogant rich heir, Julian Sterling. Every day, Julian threw money in Lucas face and called him a stay at home loser. Lucas took every single insult without saying a word.
Why did he stay quiet? Because he promised his dying grandfather he would live like an ordinary poor man for three years.
On the exact night his three year promise ended, Chloe handed him divorce papers. She threw three thousand dollars at his chest, thinking she was dumping a useless husband.
But Lucas just smiled and walked out into the dark night. What Chloe and Julian did not know was that Lucas Vance was never a poor boy. He was the sole heir to Grand Dragon Financial, the biggest banking group in the entire nation, holding over fifty billion dollars in pure cash.
Now, the three years are up. Lucas steps back into the light as the most powerful CEO in the city. One phone call from his hand can crush Julian family business overnight. One word from his mouth can lock his arrogant mother in law in a cold prison cell.
When Chloe realizes the poor beggar she dumped is actually the supreme boss holding her family destiny, she falls to her knees in tears. But Lucas heart has already turned to pure ice. The game has changed, and every single person who stepped on him will pay back in blood and tears.
