“I took the fall for your family’s mistake. And this is how you repay me?” Alisha laughed. “Marrying you was the biggest mistake of my life. I thought I could turn a charity case into a man. Turns out, you’ll always belong in the gutters.” Her words shattered the last piece of Rhy’s heart. Five years ago, Rhys sacrificed everything to protect a family that was never truly his. Branded a criminal, he entered prison with nothing. But Rhys walked out a king. Now the ex-con they mocked has returned as the most powerful man in the city: a legendary healer, an unstoppable fighter, and the hidden heir to an empire beyond imagination. The woman who discarded him wants him back. The family who betrayed him begs for forgiveness. The enemies who hunted him pray it’s not too late. They called him trash. Now they’re about to discover what happens when a king stops holding back.

Maverick was treated as trash by his ex-wife. Her brother was in debt and used him as leverage for payment, leading to his death as a delivery boy in a car accident. He awakens ten years in the past and uses his knowledge of the future to win a $30 million lottery ticket. Maverick knows which stocks will soar, which billionaires will fall, and which men will rise. To everyone else, he is just a lucky young man. To Maverick, the entire decade ahead is a map he has already walked, and he will make sure that everyone who made his past miserable will pay.

Drovian Kestrel, a weary school bus driver, finds himself the reluctant guardian of 27 eccentric teenagers when the world collapses. With an aging bus and a destination 1,000 kilometers away, he discovers that the true terror of the wasteland isn't the bandits, but his own passengers.

For years, Mikael Winston let the world believe he was nothing. He played the fool so his family would have one less person to fight over the inheritance. He buried his name, his pride, and everything he was capable of becoming just to keep the peace. Then, when fire tore through a burning building, he risked his life to save a woman— and paid for it with his face. The woman he saved married him anyway. At least, that was what he believed. One week was all it took for her to reveal the truth. She had gotten what she wanted: a fifty-million-dollar contract signed by his hands, her fortune secured, and no intention of staying married to the scarred man she'd once pretended to love. There had never been a real marriage. No vows that counted. No future together. Just humiliation. And somehow, through a cruel twist of fate, Mikael was legally bound to another woman instead—a young maid with nothing but a scholarship, a kind heart, and nowhere else to go. Like him, she had been discarded by the people who were supposed to value her. They laughed at them both. They should have been more careful about who they were laughing at. Because Mikael Winston was never the useless man they thought he was. The heir they buried had finally come home. He built Vivienne's fortune with his own two hands. Now, he'll tear it down the same way. Piece by piece. Deal by deal. Until her empire is nothing but ruins—and the only name anyone remembers is Mikael Winston.
