Douglas Garnett was born to save PortVarter. But once his victories served their purpose, the Governor discarded him, exploiting Douglas's sacrifices to amass power and wealth. The ultimate betrayal came when his fiancée—the Governor’s own daughter—abandoned him to marry the heir of a prominent family, treating Douglas like nothing more than trash beneath her feet. Now, cast aside and burning with the sting of betrayal, Douglas must decide: will he fade into the shadows, or will he return to show them what a true savior is capable of? The stage is set, but this time, it’s Douglas who holds the reins!

Chapter 1

"Mr. Garnett, the arrest of that terrible terrorist, 'Don Boer' was a masterstroke! Helton City and the entire PortVarter State owe you a debt of gratitude. That man terrorized us for far too long."

Josh, one of Douglas's assistants, expressed his excitement with a slight bow.

Douglas gave a casual smile as he descended the grand staircase of his sprawling mansion, the victory feeling almost insignificant to him.

After all, it was nothing compared to the many triumphs he had helped PortVarter State achieve over the past four years.

Before Douglas could speak, the heavy oak doors of the living room were pushed open and two men in police uniforms strode inside with their stern faces and stiff postures breaking the relaxed elegance of the mansion.

They walked straight up to Douglas.

"Mr. Douglas Garnett, you are under arrest," one of the officers spoke with authority.

Douglas’s eyes narrowed slightly, as he stared at the officers coldly.

Even Douglas' assistants who flanked him stared at them as if they were fools.

Did they lose their way?

How could they so confidently walk into the wrong house to arrest the wrong person?

"Arrest me?" Douglas asked, his tone cool and laced with disbelief.

"Yes," the officer replied with an unwavering voice.

"We have received credible reports that you have been involved in multiple crimes, including embezzlement, bribery, and solicitation."

Douglas’s brow furrowed and his assistants couldn't believe their ears.

"You must be in the wrong place, addressing the wrong person," Josh, Douglas's assistant spoke up.

He had no doubt that this pair of uninformed officers had no idea of whom they were addressing!

Douglas Garnett was the future son-in-law of Governor Stewart Clarke, the Governor of PortVarter State.

He had dedicated the past four years to managing the entire state, turning PortVarter from a place of chaos, rampant crime, and constant strife, into a peaceful and orderly one.

Even the GDP of the State had increased tenfold, reaching up to 20 trillion!

So why in the world would Douglas even be involved in any crime, considering his influence and abilities?

"No, they haven't addressed the wrong person..." a female voice spoke from the entrance, leaving everyone curious about its owner.

Almost immediately, the living room doors swung open, revealing a beautiful woman.

Her poised figure, dressed impeccably in a tailored navy suit, entered the room.

"...because it was me who exposed his crimes."

Her eyes were cold and unrecognizable.

"What?!"

Josh's jaws dropped.

Douglas straightened, taken aback,

Because the one speaking was none other than his fiancee - Linda Clarke, the daughter of Governor Stewart Clarke of PortVarter State.

The words landed like a thunderclap!

It took Douglas a moment to process the betrayal.

The woman he thought he knew, his future wife, stood before him with the determination of an executioner.

He and Linda had been together for nearly three years, so why was she suddenly turning against him?

"Why?" Douglas finally demanded, his voice rising and his confusion giving way to fury.

"Why would you do this?"
