Academy

Born with nothing but his wits, Aiden Cole clawed his way into a world where money talks and bloodlines reign supreme. A full scholarship granted him access to the nation's most prestigious academy, but also painted a target on his back. Among the sons and daughters of the elite, Aiden was a reminder of everything they despised, and everything they feared. The son of the Vice President, fueled by envy and rage, waged a brutal campaign against him. Lies, threats, violence, and finally, murder. They didn't just break Aiden; they shattered his entire world. But pain forged him into something far more dangerous. Disappearing from the public eye, Aiden re-emerged years later, not as a student, but as a kingpin. Armed with intelligence sharper than any blade and a heart hardened by loss, he built a criminal empire with one purpose: revenge. In the end, only one truth will remain: “the outcast will inherit the ashes."
