“Simon, are you gonna remain seated and not make yourself useful today? At least, even if you can’t help the Katherine family financially, at least stop being a useless person,” Addy sneered, giving Simon a bad look over.She’s Addy Katherine, Simon’s wife, Ash’s elder sister, and the Katherine family’s eldest granddaughter.Today is the 75th birthday of the Katherine family matriarch. The walls were decorated in peach, and the top people in society were invited to the birthday celebration. It’s such an elegant and sophisticated event.Many of these guests were mostly at this event to mock Simon, as everyone in high society knew about Simon.Simon is a live-in son-in-law of the Katherine family. Aside from the fact that he has no money, Simon has no position or dignity in the Katherine family.“What Addy said is true,” Mrs. Katherine said, looking at Simon with a condescending gaze.“Simon, you have been in the Katherine family for a year now due to the benevolence of my late husband,

Ash leaned back in her leather chair, the glow of her laptop screen illuminating the smirk playing on her lips. Outside, the cityscape of their new home stretched endlessly, a world away from the place where Simon had humiliated her. But distance wasn’t enough—she wanted more. She wanted revenge.The tabloid's editor sat across from her, sweating under the weight of the offer she had just presented. He was a wiry man with sunken eyes, his desperation barely concealed beneath a thin layer of professionalism. The publication he ran was on its last legs—circulation had plummeted, lawsuits were stacking up, and advertisers were fleeing.But now? Now, he had a lifeline. A golden opportunity.“You’re telling me,” he said, voice low, calculating, “you want us to run an exposé on Simon Heathrow?”Ash swirled the wine in her glass, enjoying his hesitation. “Not just any exposé, Jonathan. I want something that will bury him. A full-blown scandal. Something so devastating, so irrefutable, that t

Kingston exhaled sharply and rolled his shoulders back, forcing his expression into something resembling indifference.“Alright, so the guy lifts,” he muttered, forcing out a dry chuckle. “Doesn’t mean anything.”Derek scoffed, shaking his head. “Doesn’t mean anything? Dude, did you see that? That wasn’t just lifting. That was Navarro-level lifting.”Kingston’s stomach twisted at the name.Navarro.The world-class athlete. The legend.Simon wasn’t just training with a pro—he was training with the pro.And that wasn’t something money alone could buy.Derek crossed his arms. “When the hell did Simon even start training? Last I checked, the guy wasn’t exactly living in luxury.”Jordan nodded. “Yeah, man. Something’s up.”Kingston swallowed back his frustration, but it was boiling over.He needed to know.How had Simon changed so much?And, more importantly—how had he kept it hidden from them for so long?Just then, a low murmur rippled through the gym.Kingston turned, his frown deepenin

Kingston refused to believe it.Simon might have gotten lucky—a sponsorship, an inheritance, a favor from someone powerful.That was the only explanation.And Kingston was going to prove it.He forced a smirk and called out, “You’ve really stepped it up, huh, Simon?”Simon finished his last rep, then turned to face them.His face was calm. Measured. Like he already knew what Kingston was trying to do.“I have.”His voice was even. Unshaken.Kingston crossed his arms, raising a brow. “What, finally got some extra cash? Who’s funding this little glow-up?”Derek and Jordan exchanged glances, sensing the tension.Simon, however, just tilted his head slightly. “And why does that matter to you?”Kingston felt his smirk falter for a split second.Simon’s response wasn’t defensive. It wasn’t angry.It was genuinely indifferent.Like he couldn’t care less what Kingston thought.That—that was new.Jordan cleared his throat, trying to lighten the mood. “Man, we’re just surprised.

Kingston and his gang made their way into the private training area.The private training area was sleek and cutting-edge—a space reserved for the wealthiest members who had their own personal trainers. It was quieter than the main gym, designed for those who actually took fitness seriously instead of just posing for social media.And there, standing in front of a mirror-lined weight rack, was Simon.He wasn’t posing.He wasn’t scrolling through his phone.He was training.Kingston barely recognized him.This wasn’t the skinny, exhausted guy that was Ash’s husband, begging for a weekly allowance and jobless fellow.This Simon was built.His form was precise, his muscles flexing as he moved from one exercise to the next with calculated efficiency. No wasted movements. No unnecessary breaks.Like a man who had done this a thousand times before.And then, as if sensing them, Simon turned.For the first time that day, their eyes met.There was no surprise on Simon’s face. No awkward hesit

The Aurum Elite Sports Club wasn’t just a gym—it was a sanctuary for the ultra-wealthy. It was where CEOs, celebrities, and heirs to billion-dollar fortunes came to sculpt their bodies while subtly reminding everyone else that they belonged to a different world.Even the air smelled expensive—a blend of fresh eucalyptus, imported leather, and the faintest trace of arrogance.In the private lounge, a group of young men lounged in plush chairs, dressed in custom club robes embroidered with their initials. They weren’t here to train. They were here to be seen.At the center of the group was Kingston, one of Ash’s friends when she was still rich, a trust-fund golden boy with a jawline sharp enough to cut glass and an ego even sharper. He leaned back, swirling a protein shake like it was a glass of aged whiskey."Man," Jordan sighed, stretching lazily. "I love this place. You don’t even have to lift a weight, and people still respect you."Kingston smirked. "That’s because they know we be

Amelia’s eyes widened, a mix of relief and vindication flickering across her face. The other sales staff exchanged uneasy glances, their earlier whispers now replaced with an uncomfortable silence.The customers who had snickered at Simon earlier looked on with wide-eyed disbelief. One man muttered to his companion, “Did he just say his car?”Carlisle, oblivious to—or perhaps deliberately ignoring—the tension in the room, gestured toward the entrance. “Shall we? I think you’ll be pleased with what we’ve done.”“Of course,” Simon said smoothly, his expression unreadable as he turned to follow Carlisle.Outside the dealership, the sun gleamed off the glass facade, casting sharp reflections onto the pavement. A sleek transporter truck was parked at the curb, its hydraulic lift carefully lowering a car that seemed to shimmer under the sunlight.The car was a masterpiece. Its custom paint—a deep obsidian black with subtle iridescent undertones—caught the light in waves, shifting between hu

The sun cast sharp beams across the polished glass façade of Scaffs dealership, each ray reflecting the world-class automobiles displayed within. Cars sat gleaming like trophies, their metallic finishes flawless, their designs a testament to human ingenuity. The faint hum of conversation and muted clicks of polished heels echoed softly within the showroom.Inside, the air was thick with affluence, scented with a mix of fresh leather and a faint hint of the cologne worn by wealthy patrons. The sales representatives, dressed in sharp, tailored suits, flitted between clients, their smiles wide and professional. Here, status wasn’t earned—it was flaunted, celebrated, and soaked into every surface of the space.Through the glass doors, a man entered with a measured stride.Simon’s presence wasn’t immediately commanding. He wore a navy blazer over a crisp white shirt, paired with understated chinos and leather loafers. The outfit was clearly expensive if one had the eye for it, but it lacke

The night was winding down, the banquet hall now quieter as guests began to depart in pairs and small groups. The laughter had softened, replaced by polite goodbyes and the clinking of glasses being cleared away by the staff. The clique, however, remained at their table, their energy undimmed as they continued to indulge in drinks and conversation. Simon stood near the bar, his calm presence unassuming yet magnetic. Despite the clique's earlier attempts at mockery, he remained composed, exuding a quiet power that drew the occasional glance from other attendees. He took a sip from his glass of sparkling water, his thoughts momentarily drifting to the evening’s events. While the night had been a stark reminder of the arrogance and superficiality of some of his former classmates, it had also reinforced how far he had come. From across the table, Madison's sharp eyes were still trained on him, her curiosity and frustration evident. She had always prided herself on being the center of

The reunion was in full swing, the lavish banquet hall a hub of energy as groups of former classmates gathered in tight clusters, their laughter echoing against the high ceilings. Waiters weaved through the crowd with trays of champagne flutes and delicate hors d'oeuvres, their steps light and practiced. Every corner of the room seemed to sparkle, from the crystal chandeliers overhead to the sequined dresses and tailored suits of the attendees.At one table near the center of the room, a particularly boisterous group had gathered. They were seated in a loose circle of plush chairs, the centerpieces of their table gleaming with silver and gold. It was impossible not to notice them; their voices rose above the crowd, drawing the attention of anyone within earshot.This was the clique—the untouchable group of wealthy, entitled students who had ruled the university’s social hierarchy with iron fists wrapped in velvet gloves. Even now, years after graduation, they carried themselves with t
