Tara’s father started “Grandpa you know Tara has to marry an influential man-“ “A man of affluence too just like Zayn” Tara’s mother added quickly That moment Zayn felt proud, straightening his tie, senator Alex might reconsider, he thought. “He is a billionaire, what more can one ask for compared to a waiter like this man here” Tara’s mother ran Leon from head to toe The room erupted in laughter. However, Tara chest tightened, she was so burdened by her grandfather change of plans He already arranged marriage with Zayn why the sudden change of plans? And suddenly it has to be the pathetic nobody who she had given her virginity to last night She never ever wanted to see him What good did her grandfather even see in a man like this?

8. Son-In-law
Leon slouched back in the car seat, closing his eyes briefly. Jake glanced at him carefully before speaking “Boss, I have siphoned the first money from his account” “Good” Leon replied, eyes still shut “Donate it to the orphanage up in Brooks street, anonymously” Jake blinked in disbelief, too stunned to understand That was a lot of money, all for charity? “Boss, why give it away? You could use it to rebuild yourself” Leon cracked one eye open, voice firm “I don’t rebuild with stolen money. I’ll rise on my own terms” Jake dared not ask any more questions, he started the car The engine roared to life Their next destination would change the course of everything, but they didn’t know it yet A flash of memory struck Leon, the fire and his parents calling for help His fiancée’s cold voice “Burn to death, Leon” before she walked away It was impossible to get through to save his parent The smoke blurred his vision, and a heavy brick fell on his head Pain split his sku
7. He is a nobody
The plan was simple, slip inside the gala Disguise as a waiter Drop the threat to the target Exit the building Leon was dressed like a waiter serving drinks. Two more steps and his mission will be completed “You are only lucky to be here” an elderly lady hissed at Leon, snaring at him like he was dirt. She took a flute of wine from the tray. Leon spotted the gold ring on her finger, which was among the least valuable gold in his collection “Now, why are you staring at my ring-do you know how much it costs?” She glared like he was a destitute “Do you want to steal it?” Leon simply said nothing, he couldn’t afford a bitter and rude woman to ruin his plans. She wasn’t the reason he was here, so he humbly bowed and passed her. He tightened his grip on the tray Elites, proud people Behind their smiles were secrets and scandals dirtier than their polished lifestyle. The gala was filled with men and women lavishly dressed in a dinner style. “Eyes on the target
6. His revenge plan
Tara stomped out of the boardroom, heels clicking loudly on every step. This was more serious than she had imagined. Alfredo had planned this all along, he was in for war, and she was ready to fight it till the end Tara collapsed into her office chair, her pulse racing. Thirty days? If she failed, the company her family built would fall into Alfredo’s greedy hands. Not on her watch. Alfredo was not just ruthless in the boardroom, he also publicly humiliates people on social media. What would people say if he took over the company? She would be mocked A fallen queen mocked by the very people who once worshiped her. People of Zyrai would mock her as a failed CEO! Tara wasn’t just a businesswoman, she was a name. Forbes under thirty. A face every magazine wanted. On top of that, she was one of the country’s beauties, any man would want to have a woman like Tara Nevertheless, she was not one for just any man She was too focused on building her compan
5. Deal with the devil
Senator Alex was shocked, his heart pounded in his chest. The voice of the president telling him not to defy any of the young master quest played in his memory Giving up his granddaughter to a man as dangerous as Leon wouldn’t be an easy decision The old man tried “My granddaughter already has a suitor for marriage-” “I’m not asking. I’m stating” Leon’s voice cut through like ice “Why?” He asked respectfully Leon tilted his head to Jake “Marrying into a prominent Zyrai family gives him a legitimate identity and protection” Jake paused “Marriage becomes the perfect disguise to keep him safe while he stays here-not the villa you offered” “I am here for revenge, to take back everything that belonged to my family-we have a deal?” Senator Alex knew this was a deal with the devil, but he made an oath to his wife, till death do us part Finding his wife was important “She…will be yours” his lips trembled as he whispered “Your wife would be found and returned w
4. Will be mine
Leon stood in a fiery fire, blazing high in a room, and there was no way to escape. The fire surrounded him, the heat scorched on his skin. Cough The thick smoke choked him, the fumes stinging his eyes. An echo of his mother’s voice called out to him “Help!” she sniffed, crying “Help!” He could not see her but could only hear her voice Turning 360, trying to detect the direction of her voice “Mom!” his voice called out “Leon, help me! Don’t let me die” she cried out It was from the left, but there was no way to get through to her without passing the fire Determinedly, he made to walk through the fire, not minding how hot it was, he couldn’t let his mother die. *** Jake tapped his boss once, twice “Boss” It was happening again. When Leon slept, he had nightmares that made him sweat profusely. The helicopter was still in the air, and they were en route when Leon drifted asleep. “Boss, wake up” Jake tapped harder, making Leon's eyes snap open
