the Unexpected Heir

Prince Vee
Synopsis – The Unexpected Heir In the small county of Cadbury, within the bustling Tulzar metropolis of Vernada, Cruz Piper is mocked as a worthless man living off his wife Lesley’s family wealth. Scorned by his mother-in-law, Margaret Piper, and pushed aside so Lesley can be matched with Gerald, heir to an influential Tulzar family, Cruz endures humiliation in silence. But Cruz is not who he seems. Presumed dead years ago, he is secretly the heir to the Archer dynasty, the wealthiest family in the world, and an undercover spy working for his country. His disguise as a powerless husband has been his greatest weapon—until betrayal and heartbreak threaten to blow his cover apart. When Lesley divorces him under her mother’s pressure, Cruz loses his marriage but finds an unlikely new love. Fueled by years of ridicule, his patience breaks, and he sets a dangerous plan in motion. In secret, Cruz bankrolls the Piper family, raising them into sudden wealth through an anonymous investment—only to later reveal himself as both their benefactor and the heir they scorned. The revelation shakes Vernada and the world: Cruz Archer lives. Global markets react, enemies move against him, and old alliances fracture. The Pipers, desperate and humiliated, scheme to win him back, but Cruz is no longer the meek man they once controlled. As enemies close in and vengeance burns hotter, Cruz must choose between reclaiming his power as the Archer heir, burning his enemies to ash, or embracing the fragile possibility of love and redemption. The world thought him dead. The Pipers thought him worthless. They were all wrong.
