CHAPTER 1
“Darling, I’m back early!” Arjun pushed open the oak doors and stepped into the Kyler family mansion. This time, he wanted to surprise his fiancée, so he hadn’t told her in advance.“She’s not home?” When no one answered, Arjun frowned and walked toward their bedroom.“Hey—don’t touch there! This is the bed I’ll be sleeping in after I marry your brother. Honestly, you’re so—”The coquettish laughter and words coming from the bedroom hit Arjun like a thunderbolt. Unable to restrain his emotions, he shoved the bedroom door open in fury.“You… what are you doing?!”Arjun’s whole body trembled. Inside the room, his fiancée Giulia stood there with her clothes in disarray—and the man on the bed was none other than his stepbrother, Marco.“Ah!” Giulia let out a sharp scream. But when she realized it was Arjun, she quickly calmed down, a trace of mockery curling at her lips.“Arjun? Why are you back so early?” Giulia tidied her messy hair and fastened the buttons of her silk nightgown.Marco
CHAPTER 2
In that instant, it felt as though Arjun’s spine had been ripped from his body. He could barely remain standing, unable to believe that the once upright and dignified father he had admired could utter such words.“That’s enough. Hurry up and throw this ill-mannered trash out,” Isabella sneered as she watched Vittorio leave without a trace of emotion. No longer bothering to pretend to be a lady, she frowned at Arjun in open disgust. “He’s occupied the Kyler heir’s position for far too long and still dares to fantasize about being a Kyler young master?”Lost and hollow, Arjun staggered out of the Kyler family mansion. The streetlights blurred together as exhaustion and shock finally caught up with him. He barely noticed when a sleek black Rolls-Royce pulled alongside him, its tinted windows reflecting his haggard appearance.An elderly man emerged, moving with surprising speed for someone his age. His tailored suit probably cost more than Arjun had earned in six months. But it was his e
CHAPTER 3
The cemetery gates stood open, iron hinges creaking in the wind. Arjun led Vikram down the familiar path, past rows of marble headstones illuminated by moonlight. His mother's grave lay in a quiet corner, beneath an old oak tree she'd always loved.But as they approached, Arjun stopped dead.Three men surrounded his mother's tombstone. One was urinating on it while another swung a sledgehammer, chunks of marble flying with each blow. The third laughed, spray-painting crude words across the pristine surface."No!" Arjun's roar echoed through the cemetery.The men turned, grinning. The one with the sledgehammer was built like a bull, his arms covered in prison tattoos. "Well, well. Look who finally showed up.""Get away from there!" Arjun sprinted forward, rage blinding him to everything else."Or what?" The largest thug spat on the ground. "You'll cry? Maybe beg like the pathetic dog you are?""That's my mother's grave!""We know whose grave it is, you bastard." The spray-painter shook
CHAPTER 4
The dawn light filtered through the cemetery as Vikram placed a protective hand on Arjun's shoulder. "I must leave for Singapore this afternoon. Family matters that cannot wait—board meetings, contracts that require my personal attention.""I understand," Arjun said, though disappointment flickered across his face."But you won't be alone." Vikram's expression softened. "Your mother had a younger sister, Priya. She's been desperate to meet you since I found you. She'll arrive tomorrow to guide you through everything—our businesses, our resources, our world.""How will she know I'm really your grandson? That I'm not some impostor?"Vikram reached into his jacket and withdrew a small velvet box. Inside lay an emblem—a crescent moon cradling a star, crafted from white gold and diamonds. "This is the Harper family seal. It's been passed down through seven generations. When Meera ran away, she took hers with her."Arjun's breath caught. "I've seen this before. Mother wore it on a chain aro
CHAPTER 5
The night after Arjun left the Kyler estate, Marco stumbled into his father's study, clutching his broken nose. Blood stained his designer shirt, tears of rage streaming down his face."Father! Father, you need to see what that bastard did to me!" Marco's voice cracked with fury and pain.Vittorio Kyler looked up from his desk, eyes narrowing at the sight. "What happened?""Arjun attacked me! He came back like a rabid dog and broke my nose!" Marco collapsed into a chair, his voice rising hysterically. "He assaulted me on our own property! He could have killed me!"Isabella rushed in behind him, her face twisted with manufactured concern. "Vittorio, look what he's done to our son! That animal needs to be arrested!""Calm down." Vittorio reached for his phone. "I'll call him right now and—"The call went straight to a generic message. Blocked.Vittorio's jaw tightened. He tried again. Blocked."He blocked me?" Vittorio's voice dropped to a dangerous whisper. "That ungrateful whelp block
CHAPTER 6
Minutes before Arjun's arrival, Vittorio Kyler stood at the center of the grand hall, champagne glass raised high, his face glowing with triumph."Ladies and gentlemen!" His voice boomed across the marble expanse. "Tonight marks a historic moment for the Kyler family!"Applause erupted. Guests pressed closer, eager to bask in his glory."In just moments, I will sign the official partnership agreement with the Harper Group!" Vittorio gestured grandly toward Alessandro Romano, who stood nearby with his signature neutral expression. "This alliance will elevate the Kyler family to heights previously unimaginable!""Congratulations, Mr. Kyler!" voices chorused."You've done the impossible!""The Harper Group rarely partners with anyone!"Isabella stood beside her husband, preening like a peacock. "My husband is a genius, truly. Where others fail, he succeeds.""And our son Marco," Vittorio continued, placing a hand on his son's shoulder, "will marry the beautiful Giulia tonight, cementing
CHAPTER 7
The grand hall descended into chaos. Guests huddled in small groups, whispering frantically. Alessandro Romano stood apart, his phone pressed to his ear, his expression growing darker with each passing second.Marco's face had gone from pale to crimson, rage overriding his shock. He shoved through the crowd toward Arjun, his bandaged nose making his fury almost comical."You bastard!" Marco's voice cracked with anger. "You think you can come into my home and spread lies? Ruin my engagement party with your pathetic accusations?"Arjun stood perfectly still, his expression carved from ice."You're nothing!" Marco continued, emboldened by his family's presence and the crowd's attention. "A homeless dog who can't accept that he's been replaced! That everyone he ever loved has moved on!""Marco, don't," Vittorio warned, but his voice lacked conviction. His eyes were fixed on Alessandro Romano's back, watching the Harper representative's increasingly agitated phone conversation."Why should
CHAPTER 8
The moment Marcus Romano spoke, the entire atmosphere in the grand hall shifted.Vittorio Kyler's desperation transformed into groveling reverence. He practically stumbled forward, his voice trembling with a mixture of fear and worship."Mr. Marcus, we are so honored—truly, deeply honored—by your presence here tonight!" Vittorio's hands clasped together as if in prayer. "The fact that someone of your stature would personally oversee our humble partnership is... it's beyond words!""Indeed!" Isabella rushed to add, her earlier shrillness replaced with honeyed tones. "The Kyler family has dreamed of this moment! To have the Senior Regional Director of Harper Group Holdings himself grace our home!"The crowd erupted in murmurs of awe."Senior Regional Director?""That's an executive position!""He controls billions in assets!""The Kyler family is truly blessed!"Marcus Romano stood perfectly still, his expression carved from stone, radiating an authority that made even the wealthiest gu
CHAPTER 9
The grand hall remained frozen in shocked silence. Two hundred guests stood like statues, their minds unable to process what their eyes had just witnessed.Marcus Romano—Senior Regional Director of Harper Group Holdings, a man who controlled billions in assets, who could topple companies with a single phone call—was bowing to the woman they'd all been mocking moments ago.Vittorio Kyler lay sprawled on the marble floor, blood streaming from his nose, his expensive suit rumpled and torn. His hand trembled as he touched his face, feeling the swelling already beginning."Mr. Marcus..." Vittorio's voice came out cracked, confused, desperate. "Why... why did you hit me?"Marcus didn't even glance in Vittorio's direction. His entire focus remained fixed on Priya, his body still bent in a respectful bow, his face pale with genuine terror."Miss Harper, please," Marcus's voice shook. "I had no idea you were present. No one informed me that someone of your... of your stature would be attending
CHAPTER 10
Security guards closed in on the Kyler family like wolves circling wounded prey. Vittorio stumbled backward, his blood-stained face twisted with disbelief and desperate confusion."Wait! Wait!" Vittorio's voice cracked. "Mr. Marcus, you must be mistaken! There's been some terrible misunderstanding!""No misunderstanding," Marcus said coldly, adjusting his cuffs as if the entire situation disgusted him."But there must be!" Isabella shrieked, her carefully styled hair coming undone, her designer dress wrinkled from the chaos. "We came here to sign a contract! To finalize the partnership with the Harper Group! If you throw us out, who's going to sign the agreement?"The security guards paused, exchanging glances.Marco seized on his mother's logic, stepping forward with desperate bravado. "Exactly! The Harper-Kyler partnership has been in negotiation for months! You can't just throw out your partners right before the signing ceremony!""Partners?" Marcus's laugh was sharp, cruel. "You t
