"No, this can't be. You can't be the CEO Heir." she mumbled, disbelief in her eyes.

“I. WANT. A. DIVORCE.” Kael thought love meant sacrifice. He gave up his status, his inheritance, his entire world—only to watch his wife hand her heart to someone else. When their daughter falls into a coma, Riley chooses another man’s home over her own child. Broken, Kael vanishes with his daughter, promising never to return… until fate forces him home six months later. This time, he isn’t the Kael people remember. This time, he’s here to reclaim everything they took—NOVEX, his research, his power, his future. What he didn’t count on was meeting a green-eyed, fearless vixen. A stranger who sees the wounds he never speaks of… and stays anyway. But she is Riley's twin sister and she holds a secret in her heart that could destroy the fragile trust their relationship stands on.

In his first life, Maximilian lost everything after falling prey to a cruel plot by those he thought were allies before ultimately dying at the hands of the woman he loved the most. That was supposed to be the end for him, however, fate seemed to have other plans as he awoke three years in the past, three years before he lost everything. Given a second chance to make everything right, Maximilian makes a solemn promise; to those that wronged him, he would surely get his pound of flesh and this time, there would be no losses.

For years, Mikael Winston let the world believe he was nothing. He played the fool so his family would have one less person to fight over the inheritance. He buried his name, his pride, and everything he was capable of becoming just to keep the peace. Then, when fire tore through a burning building, he risked his life to save a woman— and paid for it with his face. The woman he saved married him anyway. At least, that was what he believed. One week was all it took for her to reveal the truth. She had gotten what she wanted: a fifty-million-dollar contract signed by his hands, her fortune secured, and no intention of staying married to the scarred man she'd once pretended to love. There had never been a real marriage. No vows that counted. No future together. Just humiliation. And somehow, through a cruel twist of fate, Mikael was legally bound to another woman instead—a young maid with nothing but a scholarship, a kind heart, and nowhere else to go. Like him, she had been discarded by the people who were supposed to value her. They laughed at them both. They should have been more careful about who they were laughing at. Because Mikael Winston was never the useless man they thought he was. The heir they buried had finally come home. He built Vivienne's fortune with his own two hands. Now, he'll tear it down the same way. Piece by piece. Deal by deal. Until her empire is nothing but ruins—and the only name anyone remembers is Mikael Winston.

Jayden was determined to silence the enemies who wanted him destroyed. Will he claim the empire he was born to lead? Or will he be consumed by the world ruled by greed and lies?

"From powerless dropout to god-slayer—power demands sacrifice." Kael Thorne has spent his life as nothing in a world where magic is everything. Expelled from Argentum Academy, mocked by those born with power, invisible in a society that measures worth by magical ability alone. When his estranged grandmother dies, she leaves him a tarnished locket, he remembers her wearing obsessively, whispering to it like a confidante or a curse. Everything changes the night Kael opens the Locket. The locket grants him the impossible, the power to devour others' magical abilities and make them his own. For the first time, Kael tastes what he's been denied. But every theft leaves a trail, every stolen power whispers in his mind, and black veins crawl across his skin like corruption taking root. As the Mage Council hunts him and his victims demand vengeance, Kael uncovers a horrifying truth: his grandmother was the legendary Phantom Thief who massacred seventeen mages decades ago. The locket imprisons an ancient entity called the Devourer—and Kael was born powerless because it drained his magic in the womb, making him the perfect vessel. The entity is waking, fed by every ability Kael steals. He faces an impossible choice: destroy himself to stop it, or embrace what he's becoming. Kael chooses power. He absorbs the Devourer completely, transforming into something beyond human—a dark god who hunts the magical elite and reshapes the world in his image. The Council's gods had their reign. Now Kael will devour them all. In a world built on stolen power, he'll take everything.

All that Jordan Rivers knew was that he was married to the granddaughter of a man he saved years ago. It was the old man’s plea as a way of rewarding Jordan for saving his life. He gifted him a wife. But soon after, the old man died, and life took a drastic turn for Jordan. Everyone turned against him. Including his wife. He became their servant. And then one day, the wife he had not touched for years approached him, claiming she was pregnant. But she decided to be honest.

Magically, all the blood had been sucked back into his body. All the wounds had closed up. He was scarless! Everything in him howled three things: him ascending the throne he deserved, taking revenge on all who bullied him, and unearthing the mysteries surrounding his family.
