On the day of his graduation, Ethan Cole dropped to one knee before the woman he thought he would spend forever with.

THE HEALER'S LAST LEGACY
Once upon a time, Mattheo March was nothing more than a lowly son-in-law. A man cast out, mocked, and even deemed unworthy to sit at his wife’s family table.
One day, his life crumbled completely when his sister, Elodi, fell on the brink of death. In desperation, Mattheo awakened an inheritance he didn’t even know still flowed through his veins—the legacy of the March Burglar family, a legendary line of healers who once stood at the pinnacle of the medical world, but vanished mysteriously.
An unexpected encounter with Mark Spencer leads him down a path filled with secrets. The man, who claims to have a connection to the March Burgler family, provides Mattheo with all the information he needs and guides him, preparing him to become a great healer like his ancestors. However, before Mark could finish preparing him, his abilities accidentally saved a VIP patient and the recording was leaked, causing the world to start searching for the “mysterious healer.”
Behind the public spotlight, Mattheo discovered a bitter truth—the destruction of his family was not fate, but the result of a conspiracy led by powerful figures in the medical world. From the shadows, he began to piece together a cold but unstoppable plan for revenge.
He came to expose the betrayal that the March Burglar family had endured, leading to the disappearance of the healers in his family and the erasure of all traces of their existence. He came to seek revenge against those who, even to this day, despite not knowing that he was a descendant of the March Burgler family, still hated and disrupted his life, leading to the deaths of his parents. Mattheo swore to restore the name of March Burgler to its rightful place in the eyes of the world.

A LONER
Christian had always been different.
From the moment he could remember, he found peace not in crowded classrooms or noisy playgrounds, but in the quiet corners where no one noticed him. His classmates called him “weird,” teachers worried he was too withdrawn, and every attempt at friendship felt like an unbearable weight pressing against his chest. For Christian, solitude wasn’t a punishment it was his safe haven.
But growing up came with expectations. After graduation, the real world demanded interaction. His first job placed him in a bustling office, and the anxiety swallowed him whole. Shaking, suffocated, and unable to cope, he walked away from what others called “a dream career.”
Just when failure seemed like his only companion, fate stepped in through the most unexpected visitor his cousin. A surprise party, an introduction to a girl, and suddenly, Christian’s life began to shift. The girl didn’t laugh at his fears; instead, she held his trembling hand, taught him digital marketing, and showed him how the world could be navigated online without losing himself.
From the comfort of his solitude, Christian’s creativity flourished. What began as small online experiments turned into a groundbreaking app that captured the world’s attention. From a loner who once feared people, he transformed into a billionaire innovator admired by millions—yet still deeply in love with the quietness that shaped him.
“A Loner” is a moving story of fear, resilience, love, and the extraordinary power of embracing one’s uniqueness.
